studying- well, not really
Haven’t posted much. Have to really study- really actually do it this time- less than 4 weeks untill finals and all that- like, untill they’re over. And I have a Huge pile of crap to get through.
So what did I do yesterday? I paid too much for stuff I really don’t *need* (well, except maybe the toenail trimmers- peeling toenails is tough on fingernails, ya know…). Then I came home and had happy thoughts about not having to write a chem lab report, then I thought about the yummy car I saw in town last saturday (60 something or other mustang fastback-y gto… yummy. Very yummy) Which I lusted after, but as I was on the bus, and the car, alas, was not, I did not get to molest it. Like I wanted to. Like I will if I ever spot it again.
So Palmy- since I’m sure someday someone might actually come here… (stranger things have happened)
It’s kinda easy, in the center part of town, anyway, to find your way around- you either walk toward or away from the like 4 tall buildings. Yes, I said tall buildings- with elevators and everything. Like 10 or 12 stories each. Yep, high rise office buildings. Cool, eh? Tall enough that you can see them from, oh, must be 3 blocks away at least. Hey, it’s tall for here.
Stuff to see here? there’s a jazz festival ( I think) this next week or so, and if I didn’t really really really need to study, you bet your butt I’d be there- sounds cool, yes? runs from… today, actually, I think, untill the 4th. Then there’s the international (or maybe just national?) cat show, and… um… I think it’s this saturday, the semi finals, or finals of rugby somewhere. Hey, I’m not a rugby kinda girl, ok? Might have been last weekend. They’re kinda melting together.
Hmm… spent a couple hours (ok, a lotta hours) this week playing on kayak.com making up totally crazy flight itineraries, and watching it hunt for tickets. Cheapest interesting grouping I’ve got yet is from auckland to charleston, to london, to bkk, back to auckland for school, over the nov-feb “summer” break. Been trying flying east- something about the idea of landing before I take off is just cool to me. Might play with westward travel next- just ruins the “taking advantage of thanksgiving day” and x-mas sales thing.
Ok, this is just wrong- for 2801usd I can fly from… auckland to sydney, to bangkok, to heathrow, to new york (first real stop). Then the next segment (somehow this whole thing is on BA- they aren’t alliance members with any airlines I usually fly… too bad, this is mucho miles) would take me from NY to manchester (on x-mas day, no less) to frankfurt for all of a week of hanging out in germany (note, I can afford none of this, it’s just really creative procrastination of studying… damn, but I’m good at that). Then on new years day (hey, I’m making school harder than it has to be, why not fly hungover too… ah, self torture, I love it so….) I could go from frankfurt to singapore. one nice long flight. Then in the middle of february, just in time to settle back in for school, I could go from singapore to sydney, back to auckland. All that for only 2801usd.
That’s like 32k miles. craaaazy. really.
Ok, enough of this. back to eating popcorn and goofing off- er, I mean, learning all about how to play with reactions of.. um… acids? yeah, that…
