Body still recovering from a massive snowboarding weekend, now that my ass is on a soft comfy chair I can say I had heaps of fun, but you would have got a different answer if you'd asked after my ass met the hard icy slopes, which was a lot. Have put up the rest of the photos on flikr. The weather was perfect, it snowed heaps and was all fluffy... until you get stuck and can't get out because there is nothing to push against.
Not sure if I will try boarding again, it only looks cool if you can 1)go fast 2)turn sharp corners 3)stop without falling over. I ended up ploughing during the steep hills, which just looks uncool (but you don't fall as much). In fact, so uncool like an oldie driving at 30kmh on the highway while everyone else is whizzing by. I definitely improved by the second afternoon, only 2 falls on my last run and graceful ones at that, but may be a good idea to get into surfing over summer before I hit the slopes again. Or there's always skiing.
geek moment: We played taboo and I rock. Taboo is a card game, btw.

This came from one of my favourite blogs - talk about horror jobs. She played croupier at a posh children's party.
excerpt from notchet:
* “I lost?? How am I going to pay my mortgage????” – a despairing five-year old boy.
* “My mom organised this night. She can get you FIRED. Now give me some chips.” – little boy to one of the roulette croupiers.

KAWAAIII! This is the cutest plush bag ever it is in the shape of a toaster, with a piece of toast! That, and the new SLK 350, is on my lust list.
Exams are over, a month of pure nothing lies ahead.

Someone emailed this to me, finally in the language I speak - Manolos.

In preparation for the World Cup, the "offside rule" explained for women:
You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.
The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire.
Both of you have forgotten your purses.
It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.
The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.
Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.
She prepares to throw her purse to you.
If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes!
At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!
BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper and you would be OFFSIDE!

woo hoo! I just got $500 from RMIT scholarships! But before you ask me for a round of drinks, the money is going to pay for my next student visa because of the course revamp (as undergrad + masters). Breaking it down:
Cost of visa - $420
Cost of being able to work legally - $60
Feeling of getting money BACK from rmit - priceless
So I have $20 to spend... hmmm. Shall it be two movies or two souvlakis? Or better yet, one souvlaki and a beer???
Health update:
Still trying to shake off the flu - aussie flu is just like their meal portions - large and stick to your guts, or in this case, your throat. Have been coughing up hard wads of phlegm in the mornings. Mum bought a herbal cough mix today, for something that tastes that bad, it must be good. It's got chinese and english herbs in it, and it is something you just have to skull (and think of tequila). It says to dilute with water or juice, something I failed to read before the first dose...
