Holidays

It's been a packed holiday so far. I'll post pics and stories of the trip out east later (Check out Sheila and Mich's blogs for some already.) In summary, great time, lots of good memories. My blog about interesting people we met to come later. Coming back to Perth was a dose of reality... I have a cold. Car breaks down on the way to pick up Mich and She, ends up getting towed. Torn timing belt. Don't get back to the airport until 2 hrs later and can't contact S & M since they don't have a phone. Talk about instant stress. Find out my bike tire's bent just before heading out to school the next morning to see what I need to study for my supp. Half and hour late for my meeting at Rockingham about my self-directed poster. Thought I was finished, but still need to go back again next week. Stressed about the cardio ospe Supp exam which was this afternoon. I guess it's something about knowing if I don't pass I'll have to wait until next year to continue and that's another semester's worth of fees.. all this determined in the 15 minutes that the examiners watch you and judge how you perform in that one scenario. Anyways, I think I passed, but it's out of my hands now.

So with all that, rays of sunshine in the midst of my stress... friends here putting up with me (sorry for my stress/grumpiness/moodiness when you're on holidays), S doing most of the cooking & M most of the cleaning =P, just got roadside assistance before leaving so the towing was free, flatmates to give advice to help me get through my supp, another friend coming to visit in August.

Heading up north to Monkey Mia tomorrow morning, then Exmouth/Ningaloo reef, then back down to Kilbarri. The great Australia trip 2006 continues. Pictures and stories to come later...
