Hi everyone :)
Well I have had a good week thus far. I'm trying to be more disciplined with my work, and it seems to be going well so far. Last weekend was mothers day (love you mum!) but unfortunetly I didn't go home coz I had an essay due on the monday (mum was really nice about it and she understood).
But I am going home this weekend, which should be fun (first time in about a month I think). I'm really proud of how i've progressed away from home. I thought i'd be incredibly homesick (i'm a real home body) and want to go home every weekend but it hasn't really been like that. I have never felt homesick, but in the beginning, I wanted to go home every weekend. Now that i'm more comfortable here, the frequency of that need has disappeared. This tiny shoebox also feels like home (hehe). I am craving some decent food though, and mum always spoils me when i'm there!
Speaking of family, my sister Jilleth is really close to giving birth to her first child! I'm so excited!! She's due on the 31st of May so it's really close now! It's so lovely to think that in just a few weeks time, there will be a new member of our family *gushes*
Today I was going to go to the city to look for a new mobile phone (it's my day off) but I decided not to go - I always end up overspending when i'm there, and I wasn't really in the mood.
I also bought some tickets for my mum, dad, little sister and myself for Disney on Ice! haha. I know what you're thinking, but come on, who doesn't want to go? lol! Nah, I went when I was really little (like 5 or something) and I can hardly remember anything! So I kinda attatch this sentiment to it :)
Oh and last Wednesday, me and Tash went to the Monash comedy night! We saw Michael Chamberlin, Charlie Pickering, another dude I can't remember, Greg Fleet and Wil Anderson! It was held on campus at Clayton so it was very easy to go to :) It was so much fun - all the guys (bar Fleety...WTF?) were really funny, especially Wil. I have so much more respect for him now.
Speaking of comedy, I can't remember whether or not I've posted this, but on Bec's 18th birthday (30th April) we went to a comedy night at the Hi-Fi Bar on Swanston Street. It ran for...*wait for it*... SEVEN HOURS!!! That's right, we watched comedian after comedian from 12am until 7am! We stayed for the whole thing and we all LOVED IT! If anyone ever gets the chance to do that, i'd reccomend it highly!
