It’s been a busy and stressful couple of days.

I’ve had my family here since Saturday, including my aunt, the mother of Charlotte, who passed away, and her husband, my Nana, my cousins, including Emma, who’s one and GORGEOUS.

Even though it was so sad and stressful, it really made me realise just how much I miss being here in Sydney and seeing my family. They’re such a big part of my life and I miss them terribly when I’m away.

Charlotte’s funeral is suggested to be next Monday or Tuesday. We’re still not entirely sure what’s going on yet. It’s all a debacle, to be perfectly honest. Andy, Charlotte’s father, has asked my dad to give the Eulogy at the funeral, which is a nice thing for Andy to have asked. I can’t even imagine what he’s going through. No parent should have to bury their own child.

… Blah. Sadness aside, we’re coping. Dad and I took two trips to the airport today, once to drop off my Uncle Robert, and the second time to drop my Nana off with my other Aunt and Uncle, who were driving her back home after dropping my cousin off at the airport (She’s heading to Europe for about a month. Lucky!)

Dad and I went to do a bit of shopping after we were done at the airport. We got a lot of techy stuff: We replaced the old computer with a new laptop, bought a serious subwoofer set of speakers for the iPods, got dad an iPod nano (his mini’s getting a bit outdated), and got a few other things we’ve needed to pick up for a while. It was good to get out of the house for a bit.

I’ll be going to the local pub with some friends on Wednesday night for a trivia night. It’ll be good to get out with the girls and get my drink on for a while. I’ve missed them heaps, so it’ll be nice to spend some time with them again.

I’ve just broken my diet. haha. I’m eating a small pack of crisps because i’m quite peckish. Oh well, back on the diet tomorrow.

My cousin died two nights ago. All this shit that’s been happening finally got to me. I moved my flight forward, and left for Sydney last night. I’ve decided to appeal for exemption from my exams, but i’m at the point where I don’t care if i end up failing them anyway.

I’ll update some more in the coming days, but for now I’m going to watch some TV with my mum.

So my first semester of my second year of uni is OVER. Gah. I don’t think I could have lasted another minute of it. I hated my courses with the passion of a thousand burning suns, and have absolutely no interest in any of them.

My first exam is the 16th of June, and my exam period ends on the 28th. That evening, I’ll be going to the bar at Uni (”Shadows”) with a friend from one of my courses, simply because this semester has sucked more than expected, and we really need a stiff drink. Hah! We had a test on Wednesday for the course we share, and lets just say that it didn’t go down too well.

More Uni stresses, though. I haven’t quite finished an assignment yet. It’s due tomorrow afternoon. I don’t have much to do, just writing out some answers that I already have and making some summaries for it. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish it by the morning.

I had quite a nice afternoon. I tuned into the RadioxShow this afternoon. Elyse was hosting, which was particularly lulzy, and I enjoyed myself. James wasn’t really getting it, and was almost ready to hand over his headphones for me to use. Haha!

my paid posts are going well over at Sewwy.com. Hopefully my payments will start coming through, because money is getting quite tight :( I’m looking forward to being back in Sydney, to be honest… At least I won’t be paying for food! I fly back on the 30th of June, and I can’t wait! I’ll be doing a lot of partying and drinking and fun stuff whilst I’m over there, which I’m really looking forward to. :)

I need to go and apply for second semester courses now. :o!
