{ feeling a little under the weather }
+ Fi's graduation took a lot out of me. It was the longest day of my life I swear, that's how it felt like. Out in the city at 10. Joined the big RMIT graduates parade from main campus down to Fed Square. Picked up morning tea and spent about an hour or two running around with Fi taking photos. Then we had lunch. Did a couple of hours of shopping, then met with lveaddkt for dinner before she started work. (How was it? Did you die near midnight? We left the city around 11, thinking, Crap! Ness still has another hour of work. D:) Made our way down to Telstra Dome for the actual ceremony. It was my very first time in the stadium despite having lived here for 11 years, and I felt like I got a feel of what it would be like at Tokyo Dome since the size is so similar (Telstra: ~53,000 capacity/19,000sqm arena Tokyo: ~55,000 capacity/13,000sqm arena). It was pretty amazing. We had seats in the very first row. The graduation ceremony lasted from 7 til 10 and I swear I fell asleep for a couple of minutes during a couple of the super long speeches. Kept ourselves amused by some of the insane names that a lot of people had (there was a girl called Supaporn! We were all like *O*?!) and I got tripped out cuz I recognised one of the people receiving a Doctorate as a lecturer from my uni. After everything, everyone was invited out onto the arena for free drinks and food. We ran around with Fi for a while trying to find people in the huge place while stealing food from different stages. Got home at around midnight, near to collapse. Suuuch a long day.
I had picked up a copy of Twilight and tried to read that in bed. Fell asleep while still on the Preface. xD
+ My family is going to Hong Kong and Vietnam mid January. I originally said No, I would not go with them, since I wasn't interested in going to Vietnam and stepdads mum would be going and they'd only be in Hong Kong for 5 days and that would be a waste of a flight ticket for me, so I'd spend Chinese New Year in Australia by myself. But now plans have changed and now stepdad's mum isn't going and mum will be in Hong Kong for 10 days. I said I'd tag along to Hong Kong then come home by myself when they left for Vietnam. Mum's organising tickets now. Trying to get Fi to stay with me in Hong Kong too. But nothing is really set yet. If things go well, I may have 10-12 days in Hong Kong in January. :)
+ I have used waaay too much bandwidth so I have to hold back on downloading Best Artist and just about anything in fandom. (Waiting for the full Best Artist show to be upped too.) In the meantime, I'm gonna keep myself entertained with the huge backlog of fics from jehols and ficgames. Low bandwidth usage is a plus. <3
