Grrrreeetings!

Haha! Stuvac is about to arrive which means... plenty more time at home to spend on the internet :D

Thank you to those who came to my party on Saturday! I had a great time!! :D After soccer we returned to the house and continued to make fairy floss... *mmmm* Thanks to the kind donaters of the fairy floss maker - Catie, Angi and Pun. All up we used less than 1/2kg of sugar... so now we have a whole 1.5kg of deceptively white sugar sitting here... hehehe

In regards to my exchange application... I've handed in the most part of it but am STILL waiting on subject approval from 2 lecturers - concrete and steel (sound like exciting subjects yeah?) If i don't get approval i can't go... and the approval is due on Tuesday. *ahh!* keep praying!

Well, i didn't get a wetsuit for my birthday (yes, it is a difficult prezzie) but i should really go out and buy one anyway so i can continue to go surfing even though it's winter! I bought my surfboard off ebay so long ago it seems - in mid jan - and it became a huge part of my life... until my last trip on the 4th of May... where my toes were almost frozen off :P lol.

However, i'm not going to be around for most of the winter holidays anyway: as a result of going to NZ for 13 days from the 2nd, and going to an EU conference adequately named 'ANCON' in the 3rd week of holidays. Although it's not like i'm going to grow anymore *sniff* and i'll still have a day off each week of uni next semester, so i should buy one. *hmmm*

Catch u later!

Up, up, up and away!!
