Many months later, I am back. Things happen :)

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 11:43:10 GMT

Dreading dreading dreading....But I must write this e-mail. Contact must be re-established with The Mothership. Ahem...

Once upon a time I used to sleep in during weekends. Now I wake up earlier on weekends than on week days. I am starting to not like trains on weekends. 1.5hours to Copenhagen is too long (at least in my opinion). I have been playing guitar, eating ice-cream, hanging out with Ditte, singing Danish songs and going shopping for an army of hungry ppl. The weekend has flown by...

Assignments mean...BLAHHhhh
Three days of work in a row means....BLAHHhhh
Stress, anxiety, laundry, having to clean living space...BLAH Blah Blah
Life is simply...BLAHHhhh

Hehe! =0D

It is that time of year again hence drowning in assignment hell. Got back from Copenhagen on Tuesday. Have started running which is keeping me sane and giving me enough energy to get out of bed in the morning. Canceled work yesterday but working tomorrow. Going to be a busy night. Have done a bit of research today but will do some more work and close analysis tomorrow. Think the writing will have to happen on Saturday and Monday. Working again Sunday. Much to get done. Five papers and an exam...

Copenhagen was absolutely amazing! Everything from the ice cream, the student house, to the long conversations, the coffee, the chai, the sushi, the flowers.... even that train ride past Orsted station.

Switzerland was a busy affair. It was a picturesque yet freakishly quiet country.

It was wonderful meeting people, catching up with old friends, making new friends and getting connected with Scruffy.

Started work. Had a long meeting with the boss yesterday. He made that comment again "22 years old and spoken like a 50 year old". I wonder if that is a compliment or an insult.

My people have been cooking me food since I got back. It has been wonderful! I look forward to heading off to Copenhagen soon.

Traveling

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 23:34:51 GMT

Half packed for Copenhagen. Will do the rest of the packing tomorrow. Going to be an exciting 1.5 weeks! Yay!

It was a sunny day in Odense. Had a mini picnic sitting out in the sun, reading, listening to music, taking random photos etc.

Happy Srilankan New Year to those who celebrated it today! =D

Sat, 12 Apr 2008 01:57:40 GMT

Denmark O Denmark, you teach me such valuable lessons! =D

I am getting things done. I was productive today. I am apparently getting a job :)

Going to the gym is a wonderful pastime even if you have the flu. Having people over for dinner tomorrow. Looking forward to it :)

Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:23:20 GMT

Number of all nighters: 2
Number of assignments completed: 1
Time spent procrastinating: countless

Scruffy is a happy bunny!

Provisional bibliography for new paper, completed. Books from library for next assignment, borrowed. Got dressed up for uni this morning, yes. Cooking something fancy for dinner tonight, hell yes!

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:05:00 GMT

Assignments will be the death of me.

THE END

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:23:10 GMT

Is bored. Need energy. Have assignments to work on. Have cooked for a mini army. Passed on a drinks meeting. Tequila was good yesterday. Is disillusioned.

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 02:10:00 GMT

Funeral was today. All is well. Now to sort out insurance claims etc. -Yawn- I am sleepy.

Oh and in other news, March the 16th, it is a good day. It was a good day. Good days are hard to come by sometimes... -smirk-

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 04:23:27 GMT

Much to write but time poses an issue. Week paper comes out today. Due in a week. Off to uni shortly.

Bike dilemmas and productive days

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:27:06 GMT

Scruffy woke up bright and early this morning hoping to make it to her first class. But half way through to uni, Scruffy experienced a bike related incident. Scruffy cursed, glared at Mike the Bike Alfonzo, squinted at her watch and decided there was not enough time to make it to uni on foot. Hence Scruffy wheeled Mike the Bike Alfonzo back home and went on a cooking spree to relax her nerves. After having a good breakfast Scruffy fixed above mentioned bike and went to class again.

Class was good. Clara was nice and welcoming. I actually paid attention in class which is always a good sign. Much coffee was consumed. Met Joyce who introduced me to Jan. I will be joining his class from tomorrow onwards. Bought some more text books. It has burnt a hole in my back pocket. Ouch ouch. Got to read a novel before class tomorrow. Optimistic about it as I have already completed two chapters since getting back home.

AG is ill so cooked lunch for her,then dropped her off at work (ok so I cycled with her to work). Visited Amila at work before returning back from the city. She will be here shortly and together we shall cook. She wants to make wild rice. Hooray!

Scruffy is a happy and productive bunny today. Scruffy thinks being lazy is so yesterday! =D

Weatherproofness of the Traveling Pants

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 14:01:13 GMT

Back from Oslo. Feeling tired. But have been productive. Have been sending e-mails, reading e-mails, putting together documents for the upcoming conference. Is busy being busy and being excited.

It rained cats and gods in Oslo. Then it snowed cats and dogs in Oslo. Snow cats and dogs were followed by more rain cats and dogs. Scruffy found out Scruffy's traveling pants were not water proof. Scruffy's winter jacket that says 'extreme snow' on it decided it no longer wanted to conform to such snow proof standards. Hence Scruffy had a wet butt plus a wet everything else. Damn damn damn!

Hairdryers were of no use. Every day was a bad hair day. But I met some WONDERFUL people. Worked heaps, planned heaps, talked heaps, plotted heaps, ate heaps, walked heaps, danced heaps and drank heaps.

Scruffy is a happy bunny. Scruffy has much to get done.

But now Scruffy needs her tea.

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:46:37 GMT

Started playing cards with Agniezka last night after dinner. The beer arrived and we found the scrabble board and to Amila to join us. A good time was had by all. Ludo was much fun as always. Need to find some more board games. If I can't find any, I think I will go out and buy some. Thank you for the tea Amila. I love it but will have to find a proper strainer to make it or go out and buy a tea pot. =0D I love tea!

Have to hit the uni sometime today or tomorrow. A letter I was waiting so long to receive has finally arrived. I now need to sit down and do some paperwork. There is also Oslo to get prepared for. Laundry must be done so that I can take clean clothes with me when I go up there.

Life is looking fabulous as always!

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 06:01:39 GMT

I rang. I spoke. I am tired. I need sleep. I crave stability.

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 07:12:12 GMT

Yet another night without sleep. But one cannot complain. I read the night away! =0D Only 2 hours to go before shops open. Then I will go grocery shopping. Woohoo! I should check the weather report. AG comes back today. Hooray!!!! -bounces up and down with excitement- She will be here by 9pm =0D I am planning on cooking a bit of a feast tonight. I love food! Back to my reading now.

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 01:57:08 GMT

Effort is going to be the death of me one day. Have been watching Police Academy 5. Bored but not sleepy. I should plan my adventure carefully. Initial preparations take place tomorrow. Here is hoping for affirmative responses -bounces-

Idiot!

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 07:01:15 GMT

Keep fucking up! Bloody incompetence! Grrrr!

In other news, so stuffed after Christmas. Much to get done today (if things are open).

Ought to try and make myself sleep more.

Christmas preperations

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 05:18:37 GMT

Life is magnificent! Had much fun last night. My activities included:

1. Roasting my trial chicken.
2. Baking butter cookies (Thank you for the idea Christian!).
3. Baking a banana and raisin cake.
4. Drinking beer.
5. Watching Harry Potter.
6. Watching Sex and The City.
7. Talking to people on gmail.
8. Doing two loads of laundry.
9. Having 3 solid hours of sleep.

The cake is a bit burnt but I have no issues with that because it still tastes good. Same goes for the cookies. I have to remind myself that I am not a good cook so any kind of success is good in my eyes!

My reading is going well. I need to go shopping at some stage today to get something for someone... I don't know what exactly...

I need to fix my elbow. It has been off for nearly a month now. I don't think that is a good thing. Have to ask Anja to drop off some of my sports spray so that I can do something about it.

The great thing about the Christmas break is that no one really uses the laundry. I had it all to myself today. Yippee!

AG comes back on the 29th. I am so looking forward to that. Yay!

Will go and iron some of my clothes now... Or send out some e-mails. Or read... Or...eat those cookies of mine!!! Hehehe -evil grin-

Good Day

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 22:07:34 GMT

It has been a good day. I actually slept after staying up all night ironing my shirts in an attempt to relax. Finished reading the David Blacker book. Starting a new one soon.

Made myself spaghetti. Yum! Have also been watching Punky Bewster. Ah the good old memories!

Now, back to my reading. =0D

Happy day oh Happy day!

Thu, 20 Dec 2007 17:41:25 GMT

Have had the most wonderful day! I did not sleep at all last night due to setting myself the goal of finishing off my American Lit paper a day earlier than the given deadline. Around 8am, I managed to type in the final reference. Was so proud! Felt so free! Thought I could take over the world!

I cycled to uni, listening to Shania Twain and singing out loud the words to 'When you kiss me'. Was smiling at every single person I saw. Nothing was going to bring me down today! Nothing at all! It was a good day. One of the best! =0D

Anyhow, so to uni I went. First the library to get the paper printed, then the English department to hand the paper in. But the Office was closed with noticed put up on the door only in Danish (as they do here in the English Department). So knocked on Penny's door (the only other Australian here at SDU) who showed me what exactly to do. Thank you Penny! =0D

Now talking to Christian who would perhaps make my day.

Anyhow, took some photos at uni (I parked at a different place today and it was so deserted).

Cycled to the Police station afterwards to get my visa sorted out. They were very friendly. Hit the town and the walking street to do some shopping. Got stuck in H&M mainly. Couldn't find new skins for my headphones. Will probably have to buy new headphones instead (KOH!!!). Anyhow, bought myself a shirt and two tops. Am happy with those.

Came home to hug Agniszka goodbye before she left and made myself spaghetti. Spoke to Zaynab (My 'Bakamoona') and hit the sack for a few hours.

Tonight, I wish to drink beer, curl up with a good book and dream the night away. Tomorrow, I will go to the library again and borrow some of the books recommended to me by Nayana. Woot woot! Note to self: Write down a list.

Have got a SDU shirt for Peshala which I must post to him. Need to buy myself a wallet but that is not going to happen anytime soon.

Now, I will go and iron my shirts. Waves.

Anniversaries and phone calls

Sun, 16 Dec 2007 04:57:06 GMT

Yesterday it was 24 years since my parents got married. I hear from my brother then I rang him this morning.

Want to play cricket.

My elbow still hurts. Can't put any weight on it. Should get my sports spray.

Been writing. But it all tastes like bile. Grrrr! Frustration!!!

Can't sleep. Have been sleeping for less than 3 hours each night and then waking up. Need rest.

Fantastic dinner tonight with AG and the others. Still got leftovers. Will eat it today.

Might eat ice cream now.

Why does Romanticism seem so very unromantic right now??

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 02:07:36 GMT

Writing my Romanticism research paper on 2 hours of sleep. Ooo tomorrow is going to be interesting.. -rolls eyes- Ou, that is not good. Hurts my eyes! -stops rolling eyes-

The paper is coming along ok. I have finally got the hang of doing rough drafts beforehand which seems to be making my life so much easier when it comes to the actual writing (at least I don't have to skim through the entire load of research over and over again when I make a detailed outline with page numbers inserted).

I just hope I get good grades...

Today I am a tad frustrated. I want food but too lazy to cook. I think I will go get some salad for myself now and take a 30min break. Tomorrow night I think I will make chow mein. Yum yum!

Hope to do much much research for American Lit paper during the weekend.

Maja has asked me if I am available tonight and I have said I should be able to make it. So must remember the time and should try my very best to make it on time! I am looking forward to the beer and soda. Might even make Diesels! Hehe.

Mmmm...I could do with waffles right now.... Mmmmm....

8:30AM:- Paper written. No more till next week. But research to be done. -sigh- I think I need sleep or else will fall asleep this evening at our cleaning night. =( I will go to uni soon.
