Wednesday night, which means Spicks & Specks and pizza at James' place. It's the only thing he knows how to cook (well), and the only thing we both really watch regularly on TV, I love that show. Right now, The Glass House is on though, and I really hate that show so I'm hiding in his room going on the Internet. Hooray.

Today's been boring, I didn't get very much work done, so I'll have to do all the more tomorrow and on the weekend. James is going back to Geelong tomorrow though, so at least he won't be around to distract me. Gemma and Erin are leaving again for Dookie on Friday, which means the house will be nice and quiet over the weekend too. Good for studying/essay-writing.

There seriously isn't that much more to write - this is why I've given up on so many livejournals! I've decided to keep my jeans, well, James decided for me by ripping the tags off. I'm just way too indecisive.

Twenty-two days till I'm done with second year (only 3 more to go!). Twenty-seven days till I start my new job. I want Christmas already!

So, there's a spider in my room. And I'm home alone. This means that I've dragged out a mattress and am camped on the lounge room floor since I can't handle getting rid of it or sleeping in my room. If I'd discovered it earlier, I would have either dragged James over or gone over there myself. Psh.

I was supposed to have a meeting at Portable today, but it got cancelled. I was already in the city by then so I went jeans shopping. I hate jeans shopping. It's painful and you never find anything that fits properly. Either way, I bought myself a pair of Levis. They're completely different than any of my other jeans, so I'm still unsure. I figured I'd buy them and wear them around the house with the tags on to decide. It's a bit cheeky, but I don't care.

Otherwise, I'm supposed to be studying for exams/writing essays but so far, it's been a pretty slow start. Tomorrow's my set "essay-writing day" for Media Futures, so hopefully I'll get something productive done. Since it's a report, it's pretty structured too, so I don't have to plan it in as much detail.

House mates come back tomorrow from Canberra. I've enjoyed having the house to myself especially during Swot Vac when you've got nothing to do but stay home and study. Maybe now Gemma can save me from the spider at least?

So, the other week Gemma and Erin sit me down and tell me, that basically, they don't want to live with me anymore. This means, I'm pretty screwed. The lease runs out in mid-January, so I've got a while to figure something out, but it's still very inconvenient.

Honestly, I just want to live by myself, but everybody seems to think that would be a stupid idea. Sure, it's more expensive but I can afford it (thank you Swedish government!). And I really don't think it would be that lonely and isolated and depressing. It's not like I'd hole myself up and never leave the house!

I actually went to look at a place today just out of curiousity. A one bedroom appartment. It was really nice actually, the kitchen and bathroom had black and white tiles and it was small, but not tiny. It's much too early to start actually applying for things and I haven't made up my mind about what I want to do, but I think it's good to examine the options.

And unless you haven't noticed, new blog. I needed a fresh start. Hopefully I'll actually keep this one updated!
