At last

As I sit here tired from a day's school after a night of cocktails and girly chatter I happily realize that I now have holidays. Tomorrow I will board the train to Brisbane what will hopefully be the start of days filled with beaches, surfing, strolling around and relaxing. Four different places, five different hostels, I can't wait to explore what lies beyond the boundaries of Sydney.

When holiday is near you discover that you desperately need a break so the last couple of days I have been a bit pissed off with uni work and longing for today. Besides that I enjoyed myself immensely.


Saturday I went to the Brazilian festival at Darling Harbour, which honestly was a bit of a disappointment. All in all it was just a couple of stalls with Brazilian food and some music, but I had fun nonetheless. I went with housemates and saw some other friends and watched Sambadancing while eating pastel. Once again I was horrified by the eating of little chickenhearts and felt a twang of nostalgia as I saw all the cans of Guarana around me. I realized I am already looking forward to go back to Brazil.

The next Sunday I went to Centennial park with Lisianne and in the evening I went to a restaurant with my housemates to eat five dollar steak and chicken and surprisingly the food was amazing.





Monday and Tuesday was mostly filled with trying to conquer my assignments, ending up just hanging around with people on campus. The last couple of days campus has been swarming with coloured shirts convincing you to vote for them for the studentcouncil election. Entertaining names as BOOM, PUNCH and ACTIVATE kept harassing you all the way to the poling booth. As I have some friends in BOOM I walked around with a sticker claiming : I tick ticked BOOM which saved me from some aspiring student politicions. Tuesday was also the first day our American housemate Chris cooked for us, which was delicious, but I guess it had to be as he just graduated as a cheff.

Yesterday I went to a a house of two friends in Leichhardt for a girly night full of cocktails, brownies and girly talk. I crashed on the surprisingly comfortable couch and now I am trying to convince myself to finish my PR assignment, for which I have to give a presentation right after I come back. *sigh* I much prefer imagining myself on that beach already.
