A good friend of mine from Texas, Marissa, has been visiting Australia for the past few weeks. Fortunately she got some time off from sight seeing to say a quick hi to me. I invited her to a party at 17 Middle where she got to meet my roommates and friends. I've been telling her for ages that Aussies drink very differently from Americans, and now I'm sure that she believes it.
Speaking of international friends, my plans to meet up with Pablo in Amsterdam are getting more and more developed every day. I'm really looking forward to escaping Sydney and getting a refreshing taste of a different culture. Yes, 'taste' is a pun, and yes 'culture' is a metaphor for beer.
These last few weeks have been a really interesting time for me socially. On one side, I've got strong international friendships and good relationships with my roommates. And yet on the other side, I've found myself reevaluating friendships and isolating myself from a lot of social gatherings due to exams.
oh yeah, i finished my exams two days ago. Wooh! The boredom is already starting to settle in my mind. I found myself resisting the temptation to open my Engineering textbook and warm up my brain with a few puzzles. How sad is that, eh? I really need to create a routine that will keep me focused in the dead time I've got between now and my flight to China. Fortunately for me, I actually do have a crap tonne of shit to get done. Now I just need to find someone to help me get motivated to do it.

exam wish
Have you ever been in the situation where you have an exam the following day and you wish that you had just one more day to study for it? Well it looks like Santa got his calender wrong coz I just found out that my exams that I thought were on Monday and Tuesday are actually on Tuesday and Wednesday. Boo Ya.
And who says being unobservant is a bad thing?
Speaking of unobservant, I found a spider in my bed a few nights ago. I didn't realize until I noticed a tickle against my lower leg at 2am. Now I'm starting to take appropriate action. Every night I sweep off my bed covers and scan the bed for signs up spiders. If I find one, I stomp it out with an unnecessary amount of force. This doesn't help though, because all it does is confirm my fear that there are spiders in my bed just waiting to get me.

Brrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiinnnsss
I got my first study headache today! It feels like the sides of your head are being crushed and the top of your head is cracking open. I welcome the feeling though because it means I'm being productive :D.
Although to be completely honest with you, I'm not sure if my headache is a result of me studying or due to a lack of water and increased Chinese food. It's a mystery for the ages...
So I have two exams that are coming up really soon. One is on the 17th and the other is on the 18th. Wooh! The good side is that it leaves me with 10 days to do wtf I want before i start traveling. The bad side is that it means it gives me less time to study for my subjects. Ideally I would have liked an additional 4 days study :(. Ah well.
Speaking of me roaming around doing nothing for 10 days, a new movie called WWZ (world war zombies!) is coming out staring Brad Pit. I'm not much of a fan of ol' Pity, but i'll probs watch it anyway just because it has zombies in it! It's been a while since ive seen a good slash and bite murder scene. Apparently the movie has very mixed reviews. That's to be expected though with movies like this. Clearly the people who vote it down get too caught up on "Plot Line" and "Dialogue". Pffftttt, who needs that shit. Give me guns, explosions and a handful a few scenes of people firing duel machine guns into the fray and I'll be happy. Having a human turn into a zombie after being mauled apart by a dog zombie - now that's real character development.

future me
I've decided to dedicate this post to my future self. I reckon when I'm much older and have nothing left to live for except the promise of my next pay cheque, I'll resort to looking at this blog to figure out when exactly my life went so wrong :P.
Answer: Drugs. Matt, you should have done less drugs.
But behind the coke sniffing, petrol drinking, meth injecting, herb smoking broken shell of a human I am, there lies the real me. And that real me wants to give future me a few pointers:
1) Don't lose the ambition to do the things you love
2) Oh yeah, get the ambition to do the things you love.
3) Learn to play the guitar. Or if you already know how to play the guitar - learn to play it better.
4) Invest in leather pants. It can't be too long until they become fashionable again.
5) Donate generously to homeless shelters. Face it mate, that's you're real superannuation.
6) I'm assuming by now you're living your dream of becoming a world famous ballet dancer, so my advice to you now is: Keep to the fundamentals - no flashy moves. Twirl, jump, spin. Twirl, jump, spin. And watch inspirational dancing movies like; Dirty Dancing, Footloose and Black Swan. Keep up the good work!

THESIS and buckets
My Thesis is due in 5 days!! It's been almost done for a bout 2 weeks now, especially if you consider 40 pages away from your target as 'almost done'. But yeah, this time I mean it! I've also got a few assessments and quiz's which I need to jump over in order to hand my Thesis in on time, but overall it shouldn't be an issue.
BACK TO LIVING IN FILTH!
I resorted to spraying my dirty shirt with surface cleaner yesterday. What? My shirt's a surface. It's unsurprisingly ineffective. But on the bright side, I made myself a bucket of stir fry last night. A shit tonne of veges, chicken, rice and love is condensed into a conveniently sized bucket, and waiting for me patiently on the bottom layer of the fridge. MMmMMmMmm leftovers.
