Hello team livejournal. I haven't been round these parts for a while, but the interwubz is a busy place.
Just got my uni results. Distinctions all round. That's never happened before. I'm rather chuffed. Previously, every time I got a distinction for something, I failed something else. This system is far better. The secret? I actually studied this semester. I think I'll continue trialling that next semester.
I'm in Cooma at the moment. Last night was a frozen desolate kind of night, with howling winds. I spent the night in front of an open fire though, which although they aren't so great at heating the whole room, do wonders for your perception of how warm you are. Sitting in front of the fire, with you front half at forty degrees and your back half at five, you watch the warm colours dancing in the flames, and you feel warm. Perfect, I say. The snow came unexpectedly during dinner. I'd checked the skies before dinner and the stars dominated, not a cloud in sight. After dinner it was the same, except for the fluffy white carpet laid over everything.
Now I must needs get on with my work, drafting up some townhouses for some folks in town. The world's a-changing, and in a way you'd like to think that home is immune to it, but this town and this place aren't the place I grew up in. It's not always a bad thing, but it's hard to relate to sometimes. It's strange to see mcmansions blooming on the edge of a small cosy town. It's stranger still to be contributing to that.
Part of the plan for this end of the year is to look for some work experience for uni. I need to work in an architectural firm for six months, and it has to be one that fits certain criteria established by the uni. I'd like to get into somewhere that is focussed on green building. I'd ideally like to find somewhere interested in earth construction. Hopefully I'll get what I want.
And congratulations to my beautiful girl, who also got radcore marks this semester. :) I'm proud of you lil one.
