Thursday mornings

Today's the 30th of March ain't it not? Haven't been keeping up to date with the calendar of late, because I've really almost been living week to week - weekend to weekend literally. Well let's see today's a month since I got back to Melbourne, 2 months (officially) since I got together with Jinwei, it's been what just 4 weeks to the former and 8 weeks for the latter, and already it feels like I've been at this for the longest time ever.

I wouldn't say I'm not happy though, neither would I say I haven't been enjoying myself but I think I haven't been at all contented or please with the way things are because I haven't yet had the time to really sit down somewhere and recollect with the things that have happened these few weeks, much less these last couple of months.

I think it's what i'm doing now. Half an hour before a two hour property lecture.

It's hard to grasp that summer's over and now, autumn's here..with the cold slowly starting to set in. Commonwealth games are over and I was fortunate enough to be at the right place to witness the closing ceremony's fireworks in all its grandeur. It was breathtakingly beautiful - although the notion of how fleeting the beauty was kept reappearing in my mind. I think memories are like fireworks, you hold on to the pretty and kinda forget the rest - It's hard to take all of it in and remember every single little detail - down to the insignificant because we basically have no capacity to do it. We choose to remember the good details and forget the bad, although our brains are programmed to remember the bad more because they are different to what we would constantly expect.

Says alot about what I experience more doesn't it?

Since coming back, my whole life has been a whirlwind of affairs. From the very first day, there were so many responsbilities to fulfil, so many things to return to. There was the job I left over summer (they kindly took me back), my life and friends in Australia, that seemed to have come to a standstill when I said goodbye 3 months ago. Then there's the Starbucks at the corner of Swanston and Bourke St that didn't change one bit, a little like my favourite Starbucks at HV that didn't change for the 9 months since I went away.

I had to say goodbye to my peppermint soy latte though. Boo.

Hope Christmas comes soon then I'll have my peppermint latte again. ha. I've moved now. Moved to the city - where the center of action beckons. I wonder what this year holds for me -having tried out for frisbee, Leonard and Robbo urging me to do Bay in a day again, the Melbourne marathon and Standard Chartered beckons once more. Diving with monash perhaps sounds like a stupendous idea as well. Might even do a mini 15k run to raise fun for the kids at the Royal Melbourne Hospital - just to get the legs working once again. Shrugs I don't know. There's so many things to do before I turn 21 that I better wake up every morning feeling refreshed and ready to go.

And so once again coffee beckons. Calling me. oh yes.

So i suppose, maybe it's time once again to prepare myself for the surprises in my life - considering how I hate not having a routine. I've already participated in a moot (mock court) this year and a barrister there said, family law ain't that shit. Woot. That's a good thing. I think family law is a good thing just in case human rights mucks up and THE HAGUE doesn't end up where it ought to be. I like.

Well it's another year ahead. I think the year really really just got started. I'm going to tell it to give me it's best shot because oh yes, I'm so going to enjoy being 2-0.
