11 Days To go
June 23rd, 2004
I have 11 days to go not the 11 months I accidently wrote in my for earlier rant. I had my second last commy pub for a long time tonight. I am going to miss it. My exam tonight was okay, but tedious. I wanted to be at the pub instead. So I left a bit early. Though not as early as I wanted too.
12 Days Left
June 22nd, 2004
Well it’s down to 12 days before I go now. Everyday it gets a little more real.
Three Geeks
June 22nd, 2004
I just had three geeks come to admire my laptop. They told me I had to download some game. I have never meet them before. Aparently one of the guys has a different model of my laptop and wanted mine. All good fun.
Joy Joy

I’ve worked out how to make attempting to study fun.
Go into Uni, sit at the bar and connect to the wireless internet (for free), and read the course note PDF’s. Whilst checking email, bloging and chatting on MSN. Making sure to have ample food and drink whilst you study. Much like home I guess.
Unfortunately I might have to start answering exam questions soon. Which is not as fun.
14 Days
June 21st, 2004
It is now 14 days God willing, until I touch down in India, It’s only 13 days until I leave Sydney. It’s getting very close.
Today I started taking my Malaria tablets today. Yay only a little over 250 more tablets left to take.
I think everythings going okay in terms of planning. I’ll soon know.
Pills
June 21st, 2004
I have just taken my first two Malaria tablets. I only have to have a bit over two hundred and fifty tablets over the next 6 months. Lots of fun. On the plus side I haven’t vomited them up yet. And one of the medications may get rid of pimples for me. That would be fun.
Today
June 20th, 2004
Church was a bit mediocre tonight. It was a shame cause the rest of today was pretty good. I even played balderdash and didn’t get very upset. Said the first of many goodbyes at church tonight too. I have a feeling I am going to get rather overwhelemed by saying goodbye to everyone. I want to do it though regardless of any pain associated. I want to go through the process.
How cool is this.

Girl Underground by Morris Gleitzman is a childrens book about breaking children out of detention centres in Australia. It sounds very cool. I like that authors are free to criticise the goverment.
Good Day
June 16th, 2004
Went up to the Blue Mountains today to visit my grandparents and Steve and Mim. It was good. I went to Steve’s and Mim’s first and that was good fun. I got to hear some of Steve’s new album it’s sounding pretty posh.
I then went and visited my grandparents in Lawson. That was good too. I don’t see nearly enough of them. I love them lots. We didn’t talk about them being great grandparents or me being an Uncle. Funny the taboos we develop.
On my way hope I stopped off at a cafe where I meet some friends of mine. That was good too.
Happy Birthday Hannah
June 15th, 2004
Apparently my niece Hannah Elizabeth was born yesterday. Happy Birthday Hannah. I do hope I get to meet you one day, and we can become friends. I am rather sceptical at the momment however. Your parents aren’t talking to us at the momment. I hope that your mind is not posionned too badly against us. It would be sad if that were the case, were not really that bad. You have two very special grandparents too. Who love you and your mother, even though they never see you. I think that’s about all I have to say for now.
God bless you Hannah and I pray that we may someday meet.
Working Long Weekend
June 15th, 2004
I worked on Saturday and Monday of this long weekend. So really I had a short weekend. It’s a bit disapointing really. I missed out on two parties that would of been fun to go to. I guess I should start getting used to reading about social events on blogs.
City Dogs
June 13th, 2004
This week I have so far caught 3 City Rail Buses and 5 City Rail trains. It took me 3 hours each way to Newcastle and back. I hate buses!
Offended
June 11th, 2004
There was a really drunk guy on the train coming home tonight. He offended me. It was not pleasent.
Bah
June 9th, 2004
Just finished writting some very dodgy reflections for a dodgy subject. I am so over Engineering Management. At least tomorrow I finish Technology Assement for good. Yay.
If I pass these two subjects I am finished the core. Most core subjects are very boring attempts at giving engineers general skills they should have.
