One week into my long holiday ahhhh...and ya the darn exams starting in late october..Gosh.Well what is a student life without having exams( not like we cant survive without it on the other hand) . This week was quite eventful, attended formal dinner at the dining hall (well which had like lots of finger food followed by main course and dessert).Awesome food layout.Anyway the food isnt the only limelight one of the proffesors in science(as it was med-science dinner) came to give us a short but which i find rather unconventional.In the case that he doesnt use a note pad to help him with his pointers but he was giving his true life experiences and failures-including failing 1st year uni biology and passion struck him during final year when all the excitement from science memerised him.He took on the so call "addiction"thats what he said and work towards what he truly enjoyed and work his way to what he is today.Great time with the medicine as well as other science student and equally as important the great food! Today we had floor night in where every floor was given a theme to decorate with.Ours was Japan ahha so i went straight down to the city looking for traces of anything japanese.The first shop i arrived was at world square where they were selling like authentic japanese products(even the sales girls were jap!) but my oh my the cherry blossoms were $11 per stalk. I left the shop with no yield for fear of the possible hold in my pocket. As usual and not surprinsingly true, I got 2 jap flags at Hay market where things are slashed to incredibly low prices.

A week has passed ever since the mid-term break ended. Counting down to the long awaited summer holidays here which last till 3rd march! Thats the duration of my whole PTP again (with a surplus of 2 weeks) haha. But I may choose to take up a summer course that will span the first 2 mths of my hols to clear a subject that is an important requisite.But otherwise I SHOULD be back by early Feb. Had quite a fruitful time of resting and recuperating yesterday and today,had a swim at the UNSW pool yesterday followed by a 15min suana..Hoooo. And then headed out to bible campus study which I tried really hard to stay focus from the sleeping spell cast by the suana earlier.Had a great meal with Amy and Andrew two friends that lived on the same college at a nearby jap restaurant.Not too expansive for a price like that in Sydney $15 for a tampura,sashimi,teriyaki mix set.I heard good reviews about the sushi in my uni but i always carry the idea that school food is never as good as anywhere outside.Well hope that the stereotype change. Gonna rest early now,have a early bball game with the guys tomorrow at 8am.*yawns*
