Friday Night Lights

Here comes another update from my ever so exciting life down under, where the weather is nice and warm and the people are happy!

As the title suggests the weekend is officially here; I actually have Fridays off, thanks to my sweet lecture timetable. So I was looking forward to a weekend of chilling out with movies and food, but once I'd been to the supermarket this morning and gotten myself organized, I sat down and read the course outlines. Apparently I'm like 30 pages behind in reading (and that's just for one of the courses), so I figured I should get on with it straight away so that I don't have to spend my entire weekend studying. But of course I soon discovered that the reading material was written in letters as small as those you'd find in a pocket-sized Bible or something like that, and the text was so complicated I had to read the same sentence like 15 times before it started making any sense to me. So far I think I've read two pages in my Media101 Reader. Only 28 to go.

Luckily tomorrow's weather forecast is very bleak compared to what the weather was like today, so hopefully that'll encourage me to stay in and study and read my prescribed books such as Atonement, Northanger Abbey, and The Big Sleep, to mention but a few.

The buzz I got when I discovered that Eddie, who stayed at my flat two nights ago, had been in the movie Once Were Warriors, an amazing NZ film about domestic violence, is starting to wear off, but no doubt I'll treasure that fact for the rest of my life! I even have reason to believe that he was coming on to me during our breakfast conversation. I feel a little faint, I think I might have to leave this subject for now... (Did I mention that he's a former model?? No? Well, now you know.)

Last night I went and watched Avatar in 3D again. I couldn't help myself, I love that movie. Besides, being out in Wellington late at night is awesome, there are people everywhere! I wish I was there tonight, or, preferably, tomorrow night.

There's so much more to tell, but they are all such short, insignificant stories, they don't deserve to be put in this blog entry. I should rather make individual entries for each story, like anecdotes. Maybe I'll start doing that tomorrow (which is in 10 minutes, by the way). Time to go to bed. I've finished my cup of tea, and Queen - We are the Champions is playing on the iPod. The show must go on, but not tonight.
