Back from Fraser Island just in time to avoid a pisser of a rain storm. I am SO smug right now, it's not even funny ( Read more... )

Went for a walk in the rain last night. There had just been a massive thunder storm and there was that wonderful smell of ozone and vegetation in the air. Because it was a Saturday night and people have a very limited grasp of what can be done with Saturday nights, the streets were empty and I had the world all to myself. The sound of rain against ( Read more... )

Those who have never experienced back pains can probably not begin to understand how cripling they truly are, how everything hurts: sitting, standing, lying down. You can't focus, can't stay civil, can't pretend to care about anything but the pain. I lost an entire day to it today, which I could scarcely afford since I have a paper due on friday.

So very tired. Why can't I sleep? Even when I go to bed like a good girl and fall asleep on time, I keep waking up. And today I have to suffer the Silent Duo; two indian students who won't for the love of them speak up so that I can understand what they're saying. And the guys won't do their fucking chores, so the place looks like hell. And I still ( Read more... )

...how the more overdue you are for an update on LJ, the harder it becomes to write down what's happened since your last one? Although I would like to tell you about horse riding camp two weeks ago, or the trip to Stradbroke Island last weekend, I just don't know where to begin. Joy is such a fragile thing I fear I might destroy it simply by ( Read more... )
