Tomorrow morning I fly to Vietnam. I am very excited. Too excited to study, which is a shame because that is exactly what I should be doing. Last time I went to Vietnam I had the most fantastic time. I'm hoping this trip will be just as fun. I have a list of places to visit, mostly eating and drinking holes! I want to try and get some clothes made over there, just to see if it's worth while. All I need to do before I leave is finish this essay. Hmm. Might go for lunch and see how I feel.
In other news, the APS has faulted again and granted me an interview for a Graduate Position in Canberra. What are they thinking? Anyway, now I have to study up on the department I suppose, they like it when you at least know who the current minister is! Not that I am at all intersted in moving to Canberra, too cold and miserable for me. Maybe they'll make a special provision and let me stay in Adelaide? Ha. Anyway, I have three hours of testing followed by an interview. That doesn't sound stressful at all does it? Now I am definitely going to shave my head again, don't want them to think they're getting someone who is happy to tow the line no matter what...

Extensions rock!
Last night my lecturer gave us an extenstion on our assignments because we are running behind schedule and he wants to give us an extra lecture which means that we can't be expected to complete the assignment on time. Oh yeah. It's not reducing my stress much at the moment because I still have the other trickier assignment to write before I go away, but at least when I get back things will be a bit more relaxed.

It's a boy!
My friend (who featured in a photo I posted a while ago from Disco Bowls) has had her baby! She had him at 1pm ish yesterday and they are all doing well. Very exciting stuff, will have to go and have a look at the kid soon I guess. I got them some clothes etc a few weeks ago so will wrap that up with a bottle of red for mum cos I think she really needs it after all those dry months! Good luck with the world little Luka.
In other baby matters; MM has decided to adopt some kittens that were born near his sister's place. He told me about them a while ago and decided to grab them on the weekend, thinking it might be nice for his little girl to have a cuddly pet. I'm thinking kittens like small fluffy things that are just cute and nothing much else. Turns out these things are pretty much fully grown now and have spent the first months of their lives just on the run outside. They are feral in other words. One was cowering in the laundry sink - apparently this was the knarly one, the other had jumped down behind the washing machine immediately after release from its cardboard box transporter and hadn't been seen since. When they tried to catch the knarly one at his sister's place it was practically climbing the walls and walking on the ceiling to esacpe them. Cuddly they are not. Maybe they'll settle in after a few weeks when they get used to people more, but for the moment all they do is hide in the laundry.
Today = Tightarse Tuesday so I am off to the flicks after uni tonight. Either gonna see Moliere or Gone Baby Gone I reckon. I've never been much of a movie buff, and lately I've found it really difficult to even drag myself along for things I would normally enjoy. Something about sitting in the dark wasting all that time. I guess it's just bcause I dont' really have time to waste at the moment. But it'll probably be a good thing to think about someone else's life for a while!
