The new year
The last two weeks have felt like some insane string of events that have lead me to the point of sheer exhaustion. Christmas was the usual feast of me heading down to Mandurah, but this time with Kate in tow. There was carols, the putting up of the tree and many really good meals. Xmas day was spent at an Aunts with the usual drinking and eating, with nothing of great significance happening. I spent a few more days in Mandurah, but had some other friends join me, and we giggled over nothing, drank cocktails and played the longest ever game of trivial pursuit.
I headed back to Perth for new years, and went to Glouster Park for the celebrations. I was asked by a guy that I had been recently seeing and due to the fact nothing else much was going on, I thought I would take a chance and do something different. The night was fun, I saw the horse, applied some of my first aid knowledge to a young lady who fell down some steps and danced until midnight and the fireworks began. My date was nice and fun, but I unfortunatly I discovered we had little in common and that he wasn't really that bright. I could give many examples of this, but needless to say we weren't exactly compatible. Still its the begining of another year and with that comes many possibilities.
Before I had a chance to fully recover from new years eve, I spent the day at the beach with friends and had a bbq at one of their houses, it was the perfect way to recover from the night before, and I felt incredibly relaxed by the end of the day.
The next day was Southbound, and so I packed up some "borrowed" sleeping gear and clothes, and headed south for 2 days of a hot dirty festival...and I loved it! I didn't really catch a lot of the music, the best of which being, The Cat Empire, Franz and The Hives, I was more interested in playing old arcade games, blowing bubbles, listening to open mike in the base camp and playing foo's ball. Camping itself wasn't too bad, I had an air matress and ear plugs that helped alot. The only issue was the toilet facilities that left much to be desired. Oh and finding your tent, at 4am from the toilets, in a sea of tents that all look the same. There was also a beach trip on sat morning that helped clean some of the dust and sweat off. I ended up heading up to Mandurah on Sat night for a shower and the pleasure of sleeping in a bed.
So I'm now back at work and feeling very tired from my 7am start this morning. Kate moves out next Monday and heads off to Canberra, I kinda wish I was going too, just to get out of Perth, but its not the right time. Then the following Weekend I gain my new housemate..so many changes.
Well being the new I need some goals, so here they are:
1) Start going to the gym a few times a week, again.
2) Get a pet of some sort, I would prefer a cat, but thats not always possible with renting.
3) Make some sort of plan for future education
4) edit thesis and plan out papers to be published
5) Go out with at least one guy that isn't a bogan, creep, only wants sex and/or already has a girlfriend.
