Today I made rice pudding, and other tales…

Today, I made cinnamon chai pancakes.

and ate the lot. mmm-mmmm

nothing else of note.

my ass… =) but just a warning ahead: this might be too much of an overshare.
I’m a tad worried about my internal state. I think I shocked alot of people by getting angry during physiol on wednesday, but then again the issue in question was shocking. I’m not going to even attempt to tackle that issue until a later date, simply because it incapacitates me with anger.

but internal state. I’m just having a whinge here cuz it’s the internet, but in the past month I have had:

• mucho stomach problems. like severely.
• severe reactions to anything that bites me. not good in midge season. itchy for days, bleeding and each swollen to at least the size of an australian 50cent. of which i currently have 12 in different locations on my body.
• sick migranes
• a 17 day flux, which has just started again (tmi, i know, but you were warned)
• alternating bouts of extreme hunger, and nausea
• a wrist so weak i can scarcely handle the plates at work
• insane moods. insane.

so yes I’m worried. coupled with the medications that I’m on, and the things I need to do when I go home, the prognosis is not good. In fact, the only thing worse than this prognosis is the one for my exams. bah.

and everything is lost in a swirl of the river down by the river bend.

finally, i update.

 where to begin, where to begin? I have done heaps. as usual, a list will suffice:

1. kevin and laura! we were zoo-ing (edit: to the zoo, not the other kind, you smutty one. I shall not name you… this time), drinking, mucho mucho eating. Thanks for coming down, for giving horus a much needed workout, for having many fine dinners, finer wines and the finest company! We need to spend more time at the beach next time.
2. work. i haven’t worked that much, judging from the weight that my wallet has lost, but i still feel like i’ve worked myself to exhaustion. must be the 3am nights. and people wonder why i have not life. or time.
3. skating! i am now proud to say i can stand on 8 wheels. still takes alot of concentration not to collide into passing dogs =) however i have discovered that having my tongue poking out does indeed add to stability. As well as having helpful tree branches.
4. school. hence the title of this post. i’ve done alright (pretty darn well imho) for the midsems, but not so for the assignnments. Could/should be doing better. I feel the familiar stirrings of panic and duck paddling in the weeks ahead. in a not-completely-random aside, it irritates me when people from other unis compare their gpas with mine. A comparison of law courses between uq and qut reveals that an average gpa of 4.2 in uq is equivalent to one of 5.6 in qut, not to say about a 6 plus in griffith (someone quoted me this stat the other day, so sorry, but no reference). This does not indicate that uq is stupider, only that our standards (and passing marks) are higher. AND uq is the only brisbane uni to have speech path. grr, take that and get out of my face, you stupid business student. (disclaimer: this is in reference to a particular person, and is not direct at anyone else. the ire is great in this one.)
5. boyfriend. may be leaving soon. for those that dunno the drama, he’s headed to bigger and more adventurous things, probably not in queensland. will comment more as more information trickles in. don’t hold your breath.

 i think that’s it. haven’t really done as much as i thought i did. I did rearrange my room (*again*). I also owe many people emails and letters; sherv (from the beginning of sem, gasp and horror, i’m so sorry hon!), shih (not much later), salman, ruiping, the list goes on….

 and no matt, i will not get a facebook.

toodles!
