morning livejournal.

today I woke up quite early, 8.30 or so. I had a nice long leisurely breakfast and then went for a swim. I've been downstairs catching up on ljsecret for a while now. At the moment I'm nearly finished The Mosquito Coast, and in the middle of The Post-Birthday World and Running With Scissors. And I'm listening to Elinor's iTunes on shuffle. I'm going to be doing a lot of reading I think, because I want to make this next week go as quickly as possible. I raised the idea that I was going to be out a lot when we got back, and my mum didn't say anything about me not being allowed, so I hold high hopes of college visits and alex's house and city days and such.

New Years sounds like it was pretty intense back in sydney. I'm thinking about getting a disposable camera so I can show you guys the pretty side of staying up here. My main idea was taking a photo of the view off the balcony looking at the sea every few hours for a whole day.

Also Elinor has big plans for the last night that we're up here, picnic on the beach and getting hella wasted. With Mim and Olivia, I think. hmmmmmm

I wonder, do you guys ever get a kind of shock when you see yourself in the mirror? Like I'll be walking along the highway to the kilgour building and then see myself in the reflective glass bit and be like :S cause it's so different to my mental image of what I look like. It's the same with photos of myself. Which makes me curious, is my mental image just me but not fat, or is it not even me at all, just some imaginary person.

Also, my other big revelation was that you know how at the end of the year, you look back, and you can't really see the change? Like on your birthday, you hardly feel like you're a whole year older. But this year, driving with my mum up to copa, it was like the world now is a totally different one to the world last year. just such a stark, stark difference.

Anyway, sorry this is so long and probably doesn't make much sense, I guess I'm just feeling a little disconnected. anyway, love you guys, miss you guys, see you guys soon.
