Only three days until home time!!
Today was preetty good. I was awake at 10.30 and kinda slept in for an hourish, then got up and went to uni. Only two hours of class today, before which I had the BEST HOT CHIPS OF MY LIFE. Perfect balance of crunch, salt and oil. Tres bonne :3
For dinner tonight I had FREE PIZZA, courtesy of my RA. There are 21 empty boxes piled up near our rubbish bins. It was yummy. I had one slice of cheese pizza and two of cheese and salami. Simple stuff, but so gooood. Afterwards two girls from my floor, Larissa and Monique, were still hungry, so we walked to McDs and they bought McFlurry's. I'm still full D:
I sat in the lounge with my laptop doing my essay, didn't get far though. There are some people from my floor that I get on really well with, like Larissa, and Emily, who I was talking to for a while today. It's nice to know that I'm finally making some proper friends.
Yaaay :D

Results
I got a B on my history paper (69%). I'm actually pretty happy with it. It's close to 70%, which is a high number in my mind. Aaand the marker said it was "very well written" (quoting exactly from the sheet here). So overall not bad for my first ever uni essay.
On top of that I have a third assignment due next Friday. And I'm still freaking out about my other essay, and we don't get results for those until after holidays.
Speaking of, I'm pretty sure I'll be taking the bus to Palmerston North on the 15th, and from there going to Feilding. I'm going to need to know what's going on get-togetherwise, so I can book the right times. It may mean skipping a lecture or two, but never mind about that.
Anyway. I'm dog tired today so I think I'll read for a bit now and then sleep.

Little Update
- Two essays handed in, but no results yet (not until Thursday anyway, according to my History lecturer).
- Diet has become considerably worse, but I am trying to improve.
- Room is actually tidy for once, though will most likely be a mess in no time.
- Tired. All the time.
- Have been on Student Job Search everyday but so far nothing worthwhile.
- Poor.
etc.

April Fools!
Handed in my essay at 2pm- 3 hours before is was due. I'm so glad to finally be done with it. It wasn't partiularly hard, just stressful. All the footnotes and things had to be done in very specific way and I was freaking out...
What's fantastic though is that there are 2 people on my floor and one on the floor below that also take this paper (Greek Lit) so all Wednesday night from around 6pm to about 3am we were all running around, going to each other's rooms, making sure we'd remembered everything. It had such a sense of community and just generaly good-spirited helpfulness about it. It made me feel a lot better about doing this essay. I was motivated to get it done because we were all encouraging each other.
Still. These people, they feel like something in between accquaintances and friends. I know I've only been here 5 weeks.), and it took me 5 years to find such amazing friends and build up my relationship with you guys, it's just that I miss some things about home and high school.
There's a lot of good stuff about living here though...
Anyway, I really ought to try and sleep. Triple barrel of lectures tomorrow & then maybe a night out drinking and bowling (we'll see how that goes down...), so bye bye for now.

Chillin'
Just sitting in the laundry with my laptop, listening to my nostalgia playlist, waiting for the dryer to finish its cycle. Yaay.
19 minutes to go.
My nostalgia playlist is the one with all the songs in my iTunes library that remind me of the old days. Songs like Save Tonight, by Eagle Eye Cherry, This is the Story of a Girl, by 3 Doors Down, Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground. I never skip them when they come up on shuffle either. Makes me think of when I lived in Auckland, or of the holidays we used to go on.
La la la
The acoustics in here are really really echoey so when I song along it's really loud. I don't even care. Empty stairwells outside. No one around. Awesome. I'm gonna sing along as loudly and as badly as I can.
Yaay okay washing done bye bye.
