dry as a cracker biscuit

hmm i've finally had a bit of down time to analyse where i stand tonight.

my focus session finished early (like 8pm) and walked through the city from around bourke and william to flinders st station and then caught the tram home and i think it was some good "me time" as someone put it.

i remember reading chops' blog a year or two ago about his gripes and how he was really "dogging it" and i think i truly understand what he meant now. i too, am fully "dogging it" so bad. i am living each day just to get by.

i think every few days i get some sort of inspiration, but usually it's temporary and so very short lived. "yay i have lots of chargeable work today, im looking forward to getting to the office" or "yay i get to read a book tonight because i dont have any commitments other than study!"

i dont know truly what those statements say about my life, but im starting to worry that those are the highlights.

but um, i think im kinda too preoccupied to really care. work and CA have really given me a good sucker-punch. except prolonged over a period of around 3 months. haha ahh i just imagined a punch lasting 3 mths...that's way slo-mo hahah

oh well im looking forward to post-exam time, which includes Christmas and all that stuff.

hmm i think im gonna try watch a french movie now with no subtitles...

yep that's it.

Phew!

Wow been a busy week had something on every night!

I guess that means I haven't touched any CA at all but I think it should be okay (hmm...famous last words?).

Beginning to round up a big year now, going through the paces. Hasn't really hit me yet that Christmas is round the corner and 2008 will begin soon. Saw the 30 days till Christmas countdown at Fed Square which definitely served as a reminder of sorts!

Like I said, this week's been action packed. Highlights would've been The Killers concert on Tuesday night, and then of course Justin Timberlake tonight. Both were really good, JT was outstanding, probably the best concert I've been to! Lighting, set design, atmosphere, JT's showmanship and skills on a range of instruments and dancing ability. Can't say enough about what good entertainment it was!

A few other things coming up, I have Corporate Games next weekend where I'm representing my firm in tennis which will be interesting! Pretty rusty but we'll see how we go. Also Haruka comes to Melbourne next week and she'll be boarding at mine for a few weeks during December and January so that'll be good. She tells me she's gonna make おこのみやき (okonomiyaki - Japanese pancake) for my family so really looking forward to that! Haha...

Anyway, also looking forward to spending Christmas and New Year's in Melbourne for the first time in years! Might even go check out The Boulevard and think about going to this year's Carols by Candlelight!

Okay, time for bed now. What a week!
