Almost There

Just a little longer and i'll be a fully certified well test engineer.

Haha. Certified wor.

Then its time to move on. Feels strange, feels more than strange. Feels really strange.

Ah, whatever. Finished my TDA intensive today, just gotta complete my report (going to take me like forever, DAMN) and then I'm free. Well test interpretation, one more quiz and a project.

I've made it this far, through all the little mishaps (dammit, lappie is still in ITSupport) and I'm proud of how far I've come. Granted, I could have probably done better had I decided to stay in and study all the time, but I think i struck a good balance between fun and work. Or maybe not so much balance (more fun than work) but its works for me. Different priorities, So all is good.

I will miss this. I will miss you all.

We have 1.825kgs of Nutella.. If it doesnt finish by the time I have to leave Im taking it with me.

Review, Rewind

I just realised that my blogspot dates all the way back to 2004.

Damn, I didnt realise how much I had to say . . . or how much time has passed since then.
Blink blink. Another year has gone.

Reading back on a few random posts, so many things that happened and i forgot about.
Brings back old memories. Some that I'd rather not think about. So much happened, so much changed.

Do I miss it? I dont know.

No regrets, whatever it is. Keep pushing on.

I'm going to be uprooted again in 2 weeks time. Not looking forward to it. Its so hard to keep on moving. . . . Its so hard to look forward and not forget reality back home at the same time. So many responsibilities that I wish I didnt have to think about.

My next intensive is in a weeks time. Im not prepared. I dont feel prepared.
When I compare myself to others I always feel like im lacking. Like I'm lagging behind and that I should be doing better.

Why the feelings of inadequecy? I dont know; I wish I did . . It really sucks, to always feel like you need to be better. . .

Maybe I can blame my growing up for everything, har har

I missed a couple of birthdays this month, IM SORRY!!!!

I'll make it up to you girls, okay ?

Dreaming

Its Sunday night.

Just finished dinner - seafood nite ! (pan fried salmon, deep fried calamari, fresh tomatoes and stir fried veggies) and desert (banana toffee pie- okay, this was bought and not made) and I'm sitting here in my living/dining room at my lappie, hesitant to continue working on my report.

I've been here over 40 days already. I know because I set my camera to holiday mode the day I arrived.

I'll be here for a little over 3 weeks more. And I'm going to miss it so much.

I like my routine, I have come to value and enjoy so much the company of the people around me. People like me who have been plucked out of their comfort zones, away from everything familiar and sent here with me. To be my classmates.

I enjoy my after school snack with my housemate - usually Tuc while we are cooking dinner .. walking to the bus in the freezing cold ... taking walks down to the duckpond, going for Sunday morning runs... having dinner together .. Walking to the shopping centre, bitching about the fact that we have to walk to the shopping centre. . . . So many small things, so many things I will miss.

It feels more like a family here then it does back home, as strange as it seems.

Two completely different worlds. And every now and then an email from home kinda jolts you back to reality.

I wish I could keep dreaming, I dont want to wake up.

This is Crap

I've lost the last couple of my blog entries that I painstakingly wrote while I was here at ELC.

The stolen minutes where i penned (or typed) a few sentances during the little coffee breaks I have. All the time wasted for the freakin photos to upload. And then when I click save as draft, my draft dissappears.

Crap.

Anyhoow.. . too lazy to repost all those random thoughts. Put it in a bubble and let it blow away. Bah.

Busy busy for the past few days.

Todays work down the drain:

I hate being dependent on a electronic equipment.
