Tales from the computer room..

Oh yes, it's alive!! I don't think anybody reads this anymore though, but any excuse not to study.. ;)

To all my aussie mates: the picture to the right is of my current university, not a current picture though, as it is (thankfully) not snowing in september. I was going to include a picture of my adorable new car, but as blogger is as retarted as always I can only include one pic..

I can't begin to say how much I've wished myself back to OZ for the last couple of weeks.. To bad I can't do magic, cuz I'd be there by now if I had the ability.. My condolences to all of you's for Steve Irwin.. It was even in the news in Iceland, he was such a national hero.. Sort of like what Magni has become now with his Rockstar:Supernova thingy.. I think I've managed to watch like one show and frankly I must say that my loyalty is torn..should I root (no pun intended! ;) ) for Magni or for Toby?? I think I must go with Magni..let's face it, I've been an Icelander all my life but an Aussie for only six months.. although if Magni falls out 2nite, I will definatly side with the Aussies from then on! :)

August was a v. strange and emotional month. I've cried more in the past month than I have for the last year. I've also been to church more in the past month than in the past two years, but I guess that's the way life is, it goes up and down, spins us around until you feel like you can't take anymore and then hands you a double fudge chocolate cake to numb the pain :) But no worries, I'm fine now, I'm a tough cookie!

Yeah, so school's started last week. Had my first geology trip yesterday, and quite frankly I felt like a complete turd.. Dragged my ass up a big ass hill alongside roughly 30 other lunatics, stood there in pooring down rain banging on some rocks with a hammer.. I've decided to become a lab-researching geologist.. I have no need whatsoever to climb up on mountains in the freaky Icelandic weather! and OMG..felt like the biggest ass ever.. on our second stop I stood there like an idiot banging on a rock, when the teacher comes up to me and says: well, that's the wrong kind of rock you're banging on.. which I should've known since that was the kind of rock he showed us on our first stop!! duh.. i can be so blond sometimes... I was also amazed that I didn't break a leg on this trip, since I have no balance whatsoever and nearly fell like fifty times.. My life is like a fairytale..

So, was supposed to hand in my first math homework today, but since I didn't understand any of it (who in gods name invented math anyways!!?), let alone was able to finish it, I decided against taking 2 hours out of my day to drive and hand in an unfinished assaignment.. A great way to start the school year, I know! But quite frankly I was majorly pissed off today, hated everything Icelandic and just wanted to be back in Australia..

Applied for an apartment on campus 2day, but no doubt the waitlist is insane and I won't get one till next year sometime.. but one can always hope.. Am currently living in a room that's smaller than my budoir in unit 35 in the wonderful complex aptly named Genesis so you girls can imagine how clausturphobic I get sometimes... but on the plus side, I don't have to cook, clean or do my own laundry! (or at least, I should do it, but I don't and it still gets done! ;) )

Well, I really should try and understand this f-ing math shit before tomorrow.. but it's just so tempting to fall asleep when your bed is your desk... Amy remember afternoon naps @ Genesis?? ;) ah..that's the best.. just have to wake up in time 4 Neighbours... what's happening in Neighbours by the way?? and OMG, I can't believe they actually showed us when we were on the Neighbours tour! How embarrassing is that?? I'm just glad I wasn't still in oz when they showed that, i would've been to embarrassed to walk around campus! LOL..good times though!

Lots of luv to ya all! Amy, Peta, Hege, Jordan (does anybody have her email?), Chathrine, Kathrine and all of yall, stay in touch, I know I'm a crappy pen pal, but don't get mad at me.. ;)

Hugs and kisses from the icy country
