i could break out in song!
You know, I really, really like writing in here. I look forward to it! I really like writing positive things here. I write a lot- one of my favourite things to do is write in my paper journal on the long bus ride home. I've been thinking about favourite things lately, and habits, too. I think it is because I sent this survey about shopping malls to a few of my lovely guy friends, and cos my brain is a bit fuzzy at the moment, I've just kinda been mooning about and thinking about things I like. Other favourite things of mine are autumn, looking out windows (even if the window looks out into another room), knitting, listening to music, and drawing. You know, I was in the uni art show yesterday and I was looking at this display rack of paint, and I realised that I haven't painted or drawn hardly at all this semester! In terms of habits, I have this funny habit every morning. You see, I am usually still all sleepy and funny when I get up. I go to the cupboard where the crockery is, and I take out a mug and a cereal bowl. Then I make some tea. And then I get out ANOTHER cereal bowl. And then I look at the bowl that I already took out, and then I put back the one I just took out. And I do this EVERY MORNING- and with the spoons as well!
Okay, you might have guessed by all the stuff that I'm writing that maybe my brain ain't as sharp as it usually is. Everything is going so fast lately! After handing in my dissertation draft yesterday (I felt a little embarrassed- I'm not sure if my teacher will like my love story, I think he might think I'm a bit silly), I had to go home and work on a presentation for today. Oh, you know that secret fashion project I was writing about before? I'm designing the visual identity (it's a logo plus an entire 'look'- photos, illustrations, etc) for the UTS Fashion & Textiles 2003 parade. My teacher asked me to do it, and I was really excited, cos I dig fashion! Anyways, I had to present my ideas to the final year fashion kids today. I was kinda nervous. I was trying to show them how techno I was, but then when I got the laptop and data projector, I couldn't even plug them in! My usual technical support friend, Scott, was far, far away at a train station in Hornsby. Fortunately, my friend Pete was walking by, and he came and helped me! Yay! The presentation went so well- God is so great. I don't really know how I'm pulling it all off- I hadn't had much sleep, and nothing much has been going into my head today. I've been wandering around chanting to myself, "I am soooo awake!" It's exciting when people get excited by your art and design work. And looking over my portfolio yesterday, I realised that I really miss making art.
There are so many wonderful things to think about. They're big decisions, though, which makes it a bit hard. It's funny- even though I had to present to quite a few people I didn't know today, and I had to write 6000 words out of nothing, all I've really been thinking about is a particular boy, what church I'm going to go to and what I'm going to do next year. Today, I keep thinking about my King William smoothie from Boost that I'm going to have before work! I need to bribe myself to work on Thursday nights.
Hey, guess what? I might be going on a holiday! My lovely friend, Cam G, is organising a holiday thingy during June or July at a beach house! How nice is that? I saw him at church on Sunday night, and he was asking a bunch of us if we wanted to go. I said, "Yeah, I'll go!", but I didn't really think about it. I do that a lot- like, with the Petersham mission last year. I kinda went, "Yeah, that sounds cool," without thinking, and it turned out to be such a blast! And so Cam is off organising things, and I'm thinking, "Hang on. This is a HOLIDAY." Yay! It didn't even occur to me! How exciting! I so want to go away! You know, I don't think that I've actually been on a holiday for, like, four years or something. I'm always busy with uni or work or church, and if I do go away, it's usually to Bible study retreats. The last place I went was to Terrigal before I started uni, and that was just after I got back from Europe, and I was a bit holidayed out. So going away will be so wonderful- the company shall be excellent! Cue the Madonna song- "if we took a holiday... (something something something) it would be SO NICE!" |
