Come along, Pond!

Pretty stoked with most of my life right now.

Yesterday I finally bought a car. Her name is Amelia Pond and she is a ginge. I probably didn't do my car-shopping in the best possible way. I made 3 or 4 phone calls and then grabbed the first car I test-drove. She's almost as old as me and an automatic (blurgh) but so far (in the one 15-minute drive I've had) she works just fine. Here's hoping the lovely bogan ladies who sold it to me are trustworthy, otherwise I'm screwed. So today will be full of boring insurance-buying and registration transferring - but hey, I have a car!

University? Welllll, I have two major assignments left, neither of which have been started. They're still a couple of weeks away though, so I should be fine... maybe... oh and that piece of shit Ab Studies assignment I was so embarrassed to have handed in? I got 60%. How the fuck that happened, I'm not entirely sure, considering that I didn't even do the large final part of the assignment. It was in my stupid tonsillitis period and I just didn't have it in me. I'll make up for it in the group task, though... probably.

Speaking of my stupid tonsils... they've flared up 4 times now since I got sick. Bloody hell. Even now as I typed, they're swollen and sore. Sooo I guess I'm going to have to head back to the doctors soon to talk to somebody about it. I'm afraid he's going to tell me that I have to get them out. A diet of ice cream and jelly aside, I just don't have time for that shite! I still have a few weeks until uni ends in which to get those assignments done and then it's exam period. I have an exam for every class this semester. Then I was hoping to get to Taree to go see Sandy and the kids and maybe pick up some vacation care work for some monies... where do I fit a hospital stay in there?!

In awesome news, Mark is... indescribably awesome. Again, I don't want to use this blog for gushing but man... he's just... =D. He's convinced me to try out for a NSW Men's Netball Team... if there's room on it... I guess I'll wait and see what happens there. I'm definitely not at State level just yet... but neither was Mark when he started. Hmm.

Oh! And yesterday I bought new flannel bedsheets and a rice cooker. Now, these items may seem stupidly small and irrelevant to the use of an exclamation mark but they're more than random purchases. They're a representation to me that I'm finally getting back on my feet. The last year has been kind of all over the place with different living locations, study habits, money issues... and the fact that I can buy these (along with Amelia Pond) just means that I'm finally getting some stability! Now if I can just pick up my uni habits and get back to my nerdy first-year, HD-achieving ways, I'll be set!
