This week has been pretty full on but I guess it has been like that ever since October last year.
It was nice to have the day off for my belated graduation at UQ but it felt kind of bizarre attending a ceremony so long after having already finished my degree. I wore my Vietnamese "ao dai" that I got made specifically for my grad a few years ago. Well, here's another one to add to my mum's wall of degrees at home! With 5 kids in the family, I think she'll be running out of wall space. I won't be in a hurry to attend another one though - all the pompous crap gets kinda boring after a while. Two is more than enough! Though my admissions ceremony this year will be the one to look out for.
Lately, I feel like I'm constantly rushing from place to place. I suppose it doesn't help that I'm always in Brisbane every weekend and it's such a shame that I haven't been able to enjoy my new place on the GC. I'm also stoked that I can now walk across the bridge to work. I rarely use my car now. Full time work is great but it's hard trying to fit everything and everyone in. So far, I have really enjoyed it - I guess I owe that to the fact that I love my job.
Mum has also just flown to Germany so I will have to try and drive back to Caloundra for most weekends after my Saturday lesson to check up on my Grandma and brothers.
Grace and I have already bought our flights (on an impulse) and insurance to Vanuatu for New Years Eve - can't wait. Hopefully, the fact that it is cyclone season won't hamper our fun!
