what holidays?

Gone, in a blink of an eye. One week's break has totally zoomed past. I can't even remember half of the things I did. Most of it was birthday parties, or going out shopping for birthday presents FOR those birthday parties. I didn't even catch up with half of the people I wanted to.

We went to check out the apartment yesterday, keys in hand. However, even with the keys, it still took us 5 minutes getting in, as the front door didn't seem to yield to any of the keys,until finally the apartment backdoor let me in. It's quite a nice place, I'm quite happy with it. There was no electricity or hot water, hopefully that'll be fixed soon. It's got two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen/living area. =]

I think I'm over moving out, since I was excited the very first time I heard of it, which was like early Jan. Now I'm already feeling homesick, even though I haven't really moved in yet. It's going to give me really good perspective on Grace's feelings in Bendigo though!
I'm not going to have my dog there (though my fish and mice are coming with me), and no more playing piano when I'm bored. We have a piddly TV (though it doesn't bother me much), no internet (as of yet) and a lot of cleaning to do still.
Then again, it'll give me half an hour more sleep, living with just my sister SHOULD be cool, and I've always like being independent. This is the ultimate test of it.

I'm pretty tired at the moment, just got back from work. Janice came to 'visit' with her mum and uncle, and took like $50+ worth of bread LOL. But it was no charity night (i.e no charity comes to take all the left over bread), so it was okay this once. I was spacing out just before, watching this overhead pot just spin around for a few seconds...

Anyway, the break was good. I had a really good lunch/catch up/walk around doing nothing/trying to find a working telephone with a close friend, and the parties were good, though I got sick of them after awhile. I got to play poker with my brother's friends and lost all $5 buy in. And...yeah.

Back to uni DX,

the saga continues...

Well, it's been a long four weeks of uni. It's had it's up and downs. I've made a few new friends, and I've got a regular thing going..a routine I should say. The work at engineering is HARD, and I'm still struggling now and then, and the stress does get to me. Yet somehow I get through each day. I go on hoping I can continue to do so.

What did I want to write about? Star Wars! Oh yes, just because the movies are over, and the next much ANTICIPATED game is far away, doesn't mean I'm done with Star Wars. The books still hold much sway over me, even though I've read less of Star Wars and more other Fiction (branching out =O omg!) lately. Today I just finished a book and was surprised at how much it connected to me. Spoilers for those fellow Star Wars fans...oh wait, there are none. Never mind!

So before I start, for you woefully ignorant fools out there, I'll just introduce the two main characters that are involved in my story. Luke Skywalker eventually marries this woman called Mara Jade, and Leia and Han have twins, one boy called Jacen. Luke, Han and Leia are very old, and Jacen is now like 32. There's some interesting plot going on, but I don't suppose anyone really wants to hear about it. Anyway, (here's the spoiler for you imaginary fellow fans) in the end of my book, Jacen for plot-related reasons, kills Mara Jade, who in case you couldn't follow the family tree, is his aunt.

And the thing is, the revelation was very shocking. I felt sadness when she dies, shock for when Jacen kills her (with a poison dart btw), grief for Luke, sympathies for the Skywalker and Solo family in general. It wasn't touching-making-me-cry-touching, but I felt the emotions run through me. And when I thought about it, the more I realize how deeply connected I am to the characters in the other galaxy.

The thing is, I've been following these characters all through their made-up lives. Luke, from 16 years old to what I assume is like 80 years old now, from his rise from farm boy to Grand Jedi Master (yes, over-ruler of all Jedi's). Jacen's birth, to Young Jedi Knight series detailing adventures of his young teenage life, he's growing into maturity (which is really interesting, particular in one book called Traitor) and his Jedi powers. How Mara Jade started off as the Emperor's Hand (servant) to hating Luke Skywalker, to loving him, to marrying him..you get the picture.

It's just amazing to think that I've followed them through their lives. I mean, I know they're 'scripted', but the way it is scripted just creates...a person that I know, like I would in real life. I know the way they would act, think...it's just amazing to me that authors can do that. And Star Wars is unique to me in this way, because no series has spanned over such a long time. Since I was in grade 2, I have followed the great Star Wars saga..and it continues on.

It's just something that I've lived with my whole life, the experience of reading these stories..I find it...
...
...
epic.

Anyway, I'm sure I've convinced those who did not already think of me as a Star Wars freak, as one now. Hopefully I've made some valid points in my thoughts. Off to study maths now!

teohsulfate,

P.S Lots of birthdays.

a somewhat heavy load

My work is piling up in front of me, and I don't feel convicted to do a thing about it.

Stats assignment due on the 20th,
Micro test next week thursday,
Asian History assignment due some time week 5 (this is week 3),
Massive (both in size and magnitude of boredom inducing effects) weekly readings for history,
Hundreds of receipts from the fruit/veg store that need to be entered, [DONE!!]
Baptism testimony to be written,
and perhaps some more stuff that I have forgotten.

EDIT: Korean listening test (thanks, tim ._.),
buy blank dvd for vista/reinstall vista*******, [DONE!!!]
remind sid to pass me his 1gb usb/get the usb off of him,
get my driving up to scratch before test on 18th of april/buy a new pair of glasses that I need for the test.


Instead, cs/dota/ds/msn divert my guilt and attention. (ds's top screen is stuffed up enough to deter me from playing it)

In summary, I lack conviction to do work.

HELP!! (in jumps the elite beat agents: 'Yeah! MISSION..!!' *music starts playing*)

*******Potentially FATAL task :<
