use the force.. not the force, the forks! the forks!

today was like being at fv all over again! for 2 hours i completely forgot i was in the middle of australia, and by middle, i mean southern tip, but you know that. so while we're at mary's every student has to do a 2 hour workscheme a week, which means you work in the kitchen doing, well, kitchen work. like washing dishes, setting tables, etc. so i had mine for the first time today and it wasn't that bad, it just took a loooong time but i don't have class till 415 anyways so whatevs. it was funny though doing it, because there's about 4 of us a time, and rather than fv where everyone just tries to get the job done, or does a shit ace job, or just avoids doing something completely, everyone here was really helpful and worked together and most of all CLEAN, actually following procedures as opposed to FV where, well... people didn't. so it was 2 hours and while it sucks having to do it it's not like i have a choice, and it's not really at an inconvienent time, so that's not too bad. i'm sure by next week i'll be like OH EM GEE I HATE WORKSCHEME I AM NEVER DOING IT AGAINZ. but until then!

so i've been fighting off this bitch of a cold for about 4 days now and it's in the annoying "you're not sick enough to stay in bed but you're too sick to go get drunk" phase. like last night we had floor dinner at this place, joe's garage, on brunswick st and it was decent and afterwards everyone was going to be going to pa's but my head was like POUND POUND POUND and my nose was like TRY BREATHING WITHOUT ME! and my body was like SHIVER SHIVER so in the end my bed won out, but i just started reading harry potter which i borrowed from someone, so i'm living vicariously through a 17 year old wizard. i don't know what happens yet, knock on wood, so DON'T BLOW IT FOR ME. ok love.

other than that.. we had our IES sunday dinner on... SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY (i don't know what's with me and capslock today.. just go with it) and it was enjoyable although that was like.. night one of my sickiness so i just ended up leaving early to hit the hay. monday i felt better (?) so after staying in bed all day i went out to beerfest australia '07 at the village.. that was fun it was with the old crew so can't screw up there. tuesday i had classes yucko and then after tea went and saw the simpsons movie which was good but it was also just an extra long simpsons episode on the big screen. it was funny and all that, definitely weird seeing such an american icon in australia. good though.

and last night was wednesday and now here i am on a lovely thursday afternoon. i am dreading going to class mostly because i have my migrants tute which i decided to stay in.. that, however, means that no, i have not bought the reader yet, which means no, i have not done the reading yet, so yeah. tutorial should be a good time, i clearly have much to say... and then i have my sports class which hopefully will be as enthralling as last week.. and then we're supposed to go out probably to pugg's but i just want to get over this cold more than anything else. tomorrow i'm going to see the lucksmiths at night with some aussies here (think, tshirt weather) and as for the weekend who knows. i just want to get over this cold! someone send me some chicken soup and some love love love, okay?

ahhh i guess i should go buy that stupid reader and try to get a page or two in before my tutorial. maybe i can come up with something intelligent to say (although i feel chances are slim). alright, i'm peacing out of this here blog, yozzzzzzz have a good august 2nd!
