Spurts and Stutters…
February 22, 2010Well… Uni studies restarted again for the year.
Did I accomplish all of the goals I wanted to complete before uni restarted? Well… kinda. I managed to save as much money as I was expecting to (ignoring the fact that the car Rego came up this month, which was a kick in the balls in itself). I have lost some weight, not as much as I was hoping, but I have been eating better and exercising way more than I used to (nightly exercises and switching from regular coke to coke zero have been effective). At least I’m losing weight instead of putting it on, thats a success in my book.
My photography has steadily improved and I’ve started exercising my brain by reading Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. Combined with steady growth in my anime consumption and acquisition. I think thats 3 out of 4 goals satisfied.
The only fault was through finding a place to live, which I contend only failed due to a technicality, having been rejected from a place after initially being accepted. The search still continues, having lodged a new application for another place today. Hopefully, the fulfilment of this goal has been delayed just temporarily.
I will definately be attending SMASH this year (the Sydney Manga and Anime Show) this year, the date for which was announced recently. SMASH 2010 . I may hold off ordering a Cosplay piece for this year, as an incentive to continue the search for a place to live.
As I mentioned earlier, studies restarted again this year, with my first lecture for a course in Nuclear and Particle physics this morning (nerdy nerd stuff…). However, as of tomorrow afternoon, I’m out of town again for work. It kinda sucks, having looked forward to the resumption of classes for the year, to be leaving again, heading south to look at some Hydroelectric power stations this week isn’t what I had in mind.
As bad as it sounds, I would much prefer to stay in town and focus on studies rather than look at the hydro power stations (once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all…), but I guess paid work dictates my life. Hopefully it will serve as a good opportunity for some more photography, so I should be able to provide a photo update later in the week.
So, no photos to share this time round, to make up for it, I give you Kirsten Dunst in Akihabara
