Study time again

Still enjoying my Terry Pratchett books and have almost completed one of the main 4 story archs. These books are wonderful and an extremely enjoyable read.


Speaking of enjoyable, last Friday Luke and myself attended the Sexy Science evening at Questacon. There was much to see and do (pun-intended) and we made lady biscuits. Mine had teeth!


 Again with the exams. First of which is on this coming Saturday. 0.0 stree level is medium after chatting to a good friend about how we just do our best to study and remember things on the exam, and that is the best we can do. Pikachu is eager to help where he can.

Weekend with Luke's parents

Spending the weekend with Luke's parents this weekend. Luke is out golfing with his father and I'm hoping to make some cards with his mother, including a card off Luke's birthday next week. Created three gorgeous flower arrangements yesterday using flowers from the extensive gardens around the house.

After returning to my job at Target things are going well and Susan has been giving me lots of shifts. ^_^ I'm mostly in layby, though sometimes on door or (thankfully, rarely) on registers. Layby is now combined with Refunds so initially it was a little challenging, though you know that is what I enjoy.

Still waiting for my Positivive Bodies course to begin after it was delayed due to not meeting the number requirements to run the corse. Mentally I'm keeping fairly well, or should say that Luke has been keeping me fairly well.

Study wise, exams are coming up soonish and thus study is being done. Completing my quizzes for Experimental Psychology today. Psychopathology does not have an exam for another 2 weeks so there will be plenty of time ( hopefully) for review.

Back on track

Back in Canberra and feeling it may be beneficial to continue this blog detailing my daily life seeing that all my family and quite a number of my friends are located outside of Canberra, or outside Australia altogether.

University

University is getting serious and there has already been an assignment due. Was a speech on Schizophrenia and so far a self diagnosis has been avoided, though there are still many other illnesses we are yet to cover so don't get your hopes up. :P Beginning a Positive Bodies course which consists of 9 sessions, on Tuesaday, which shall hopefully help with some of the issues incurred by spending too much time alone in Japanese society and attempting to be a chameleon instead of a proud individual. The insights gained from that experience, as well as this course, shall most likely be useful in my future studies.

Employment

As of yet, no job. This is mildly distressing though slow progress is being made in the direction of employment and once it's found, then hopefully the troubles with Centerlink shall be lessened. Have been working on my resume on and off, though seem to be making some progress. Fairly sure that going back to Target momentarily is the best option. Money is still tight on my part, though Luke is more than helpful and so far the landlord is not chasing me for rent.

Adventures

Spent a very pleasant Easter with Luke's family in Coolamon. Luke's family seem like a wonderful bunch and were extremely welcoming to me over Easter. ^_^ They have a huge house and an impressive garden. Each day we enjoyed delicious food including a large whole fish (have not had fish since Japan) and cakes (including tiramisu ) with intermittent mini feasts of chocolate between.  My hot choc cross buns went over a treat which has lead to the borrowing of a Christmas Cooking book in preparation for the next get-together.

Still looking to visit family at some point, though just deciding a convenient time for all.

Luke is brilliant. Going to buy an axolotl. Began growing bonsai with Luke.

Take care all and wishing you happiness,
Senti

Zoo!



Just decided it would be fun to post some images of my recent trip to Toronga Zoo in Sydney with Jamie.

Assignments and Assesments.

Tonight i'm preparing for my Japanese speech tomorrow which will be about the link between Anime and Japanese social Psychology. Should be interesting. :) Wish me luck.

Hopefully i can encourage a few more people to join my blog. I figure it will be a chance to write a more full explanation of events happening in my life than Facebook.

Jamie is gaming currently but i hope we will be able to post many interesting photos of our adventures.

until then, take care.
