My exams finished on Saturday! I’ve been happily doing nothing since Sunday, and I must say, I like it. ;) Guaranteed, the university will take their time in getting exam marks out. My exams were relatively tedious, but I’m fairly sure I did alright in the end.

On Sunday, before work, I spent a few hours at my uni friend’s house to celebrate her and her partner’s birthday. It was really lovely - she had a really nice family and the food was fantastic! I’m glad i’ve finally made a decent friend over here in New Zealand. We have a lot in common too, which is great. :)

Last week I worked more hours than I would in a normal week. In fact, I was working more hours despite asking for less hours due to my exams. I didn’t mind too much, but it did throw my stress levels a fair bit. By Friday I was in a panic because I completely hadn’t studied enough for both my Friday and Saturday exam. It’s good in the end though. After splurging all the money I did on my gorrrrrgeous Nikon D40x, I need to save a fair bit. Considering I’ll be in Sydney for a month, and in Bali for two weeks, I’d imagine I’m going to need some spending money. And with Christmas around the corner, I’ll need some money for that too. Whenever we go overseas during the summer, our family rarely gives presents, but all the same, I hate to not give presents at Christmas. I’m thinking of getting my parents a Digital Photo Frame. They’re quite expensive so I may have to go halves with my brother.

Speaking of extra hours, I’ll be working extra shifts between now and when I leave for Sydney. We’ll be completely understaffed due to so many of us leaving on holiday, so I offered to be available for as long as I’m needed.

The weather is just depressing lately. It’s been warming up (still, it’s winter-weather when you consider that it’s already 25+ celcius in Sydney at the moment) but it’s been rainy on and off for days now. All i want to do is sit out in the sun or go and take some photos, but this bloody weather is ruining that! At this rate, I won’t be able to take any photos until Bali!

Will update in a couple of days. :)
