goodness, where have i been?
turns out i was only homeless for just under a week. still a hassle, but it could have been much worse. anyway, i was lucky enough to experience the generosity of a friend and his parents with the loan of a spare room, as well as garage space for my junk and meals. twas nice to be looked after, i could have stayed longer :)

anyway it was all worth the wait for the absolutely awesome place we now live in, brand new 3 bedroom ensuite town house, with spa, dishwasher, aircon and heating, backing onto a golf course, not too far from uni, though farther than i wanted to be, but it's still great. i think i should be quite happy there, though it will be the different experience from the other share housing (shudder) experiences i've had. for starters, i'm friends with both of them. i've also realised i need to learn how to find more space and how to escape nicely without the "where are you going, i'm coming" calls :) dont get me wrong though, they are both great. i just need my unwind time. i also love the company though, where nights are spent sitting up and chatting about random crap. i think it should be fun. learning to fit into society single again. and why do people immediately assume you will want/need a new partner, and try hook you up with everyone? my main aim now is to learn to be alone again, even if it means feeling shitty and lonely sometimes, it's not normal to be reliant on someone else, or on having someone else around so much. anyway i've been fine so far, and i'm lucky to have such good friends here now, i keep thinking back to my pre-uni days where i really didn't have anyone, and i'm so thankful now.

anyway that could be enough of my reflections on this easter weekend - one that has been a bit of a non-event in a way - just another weekend. though i did go to church last night, that's a story in itself! without going into too much detail, it consisted of a congregation of 7 ppl, a sermon showed on video, and i was invited over for dinner afterwards with the pastor and most of the congregation. nice anyway, i've found myself losing touch with my religious side a bit.

anyway, time to stop procrasinating and try some study.....so far behind right now!
