whirlwind.

monday evening the past couple of weeks have gone by in a flash. exams are very near and the datelines for remaining assignments are this friday. add to that i've got two presentations to do this week... well, it's going to be one hell of a busy week.

things haven't gone all well and dendy for varying reasons but i suppose it's times like these where you really know your limits and push yourself past them to get what you want. but to what extent do you do it?

birthday was a surprise. went to sydney on saturday for the il divo concert and returned back to canberra yesterday evening. of all places to be surprised, the gang turned up at the bus station and caught me when i was groggy from sleeping through the 3 hour journey back. i think i said "what the fcuk" a little too loudly.. hahaha.. but oh well. dinner was a quiet affair (as compared to last year's) at a thai restaurant. apparently none of us have been there before so it was pretty new to everyone. the food was decent and the service was pretty good. all in all, a pretty good birthday weekend.

and the shit part is catching the flu bug from a couple of people who have been sick for a long time. i can feel the soreness in my throat and the body ache's starting to kick in when i'm tired. not cool. not when i'm about to run head first into crunch time. bah.. bring on the herbal tea!
