today was my most parceltastic day ever! A loud knock at the door awoke me at around 8:30am. I arose from my bed, slipped into a pair of jeans, raced down the stairs, and opened the door. Alas, the delivery person had vanished! But sitting near my feet were 2 glorious parcels, both addressed to me. I picked up the parcels, walked back put the stairs, slipped out of my jeans (sexy!), and got back into bed. The return addresses told me that one parcel was from Alex in Brisbane, one from Banchory in Scotland. I opened Alexs' first. It contained, as expected, a copy of her zine, a freddo frog, and a mix tape. But also a copy of her boyfriends zine with a compilation CD! Then I opened the Banchory parcel, and took out my new Belle and Sebastian t-shirt (yay!), the limited edition Belle and Sebastian playing cards (yay!), a sticker, and the latest edition of Careless Talk Costs Lives (the greatest music magazine since Select).

But what is a boy to do? So much music and reading material, but with an exam to do on Friday. Well, I hear you say, study while listening to the music, then read the zines when you finish your exam. That's good thinking.

I am thinking of starting up a zine over the summer. It seems to be quite easy to do. I'll have to get a typewriter though, cause they are so much cooler than computers. And some old picture books to cut drawings and photo's out of. And write some articles i guess. It should be fun. I think I might do honours next year, and do all the things in Perth i have been meaning to do but never have. Like enter campus bands, write an article for the uni newspaper, start my own zine, go jogging in kings park every morning.

For now though, I must study.

nothing of note has happened today.

I have had a permanent smile on my face all day today, and have been in a suspiciously good mood for the last couple of days. Perhaps because I handed in my last assignment yesterday, or perhaps because it is Swot Vac and I love Swot Vac, or maybe because it is sunny and warm and just deliciuos outside. I would suggest a combination of the 3. I also went shopppig today with the 2 girls I live with, which is always fun. And I didn't have to carry the box of fruit and vegetables we bought from the markets! I insisted one of the girls carry it - I would of but I refuse to reinforce gender stereotypes ;) Then we went to the supermarket and I got to push the trolley and coast on it, which is my favourite thing in the whole world possibly.

My car's tape player broke a week or so ago, which means I can't listen to tapes. I had just made this fantastic B&S mix-tape, and had listened to almost half of, when my tape player just stopped working. The upside to all this is that I've been able to listen to "Good Time Oldies, 1080 6IX" on a regular basis. I'd forgotten how good it was, and would like to personally thank Helen for reminding me of its'greatness.

That's about it for today.

It has been a while. Two months to be exact - well two months and 3 days to be even more exact. You can work out the hours and minutes if you like, i don' mind. I had to do a poster presentation this morning. It went quite well, and my lecturer said that i think well and am not afraid to get into the "nitty-gritty". i think what she meant to say was that i was a fucking genius.
so i nearly have a degree. i am torn between doing honours and travelling next year, it is a hard decision. i feel like the guy on the insider, when he says i don't have the criterion to make this decision. Decision making is fucking weird if you ask me, and it makes my head hurt. How does one make a decision? I remember studying that in second year psychology, and i think it has something to do with weighing up all the possible consequences of an action, then deciding. i think you can change your mind 42 times in a second, or maybe that is 41, or 40, or maybe 44. sorry about that. i am in a really good mood today, and have had a smile on my face all day. I shall try to write more here in the future.
