laylee: (Cold by Jukebox_Grad)
My mum just gave me some chocolate. Yum!

OMFG, you would not believe how cold it is in the old home town today. It barely got to 12°C and currently it's around 4°C. All day it's been rain/hail/wind/sun, rain/hail/wind/sun, etc and of course I forgot to bring a coat with me and I've been shivering in a thin jumper and t-shirt all day. It's so cold, my mum has both the central heating and the gas heater in the lounge room going, that's how cold it is.

Um, I kind of went to my graduation ceremony last night, so I am now really truly finished with school. As far as graduations went it was fairly harmless. The speeches didn't drag and they got through the presenting of the degrees fairly quickly. There was the usual highjinks from the class clown types as they accepted their testamurs, and the academics who presented the students did a fantastic job pronouncing the many names of varied ethnic origin. But it was a long evening. I had to be there at 5pm to get gowned up, and the ceremony didn't start until 8pm so my sister and I had to hang around Monash Clayton (not the most riveting local) for ages before anything really happened. And as soon as it was over we drove back to the old home town and it was midnight before we arrived home.

Today I took the nephew to get his hair cut and then we went for a bus ride. I make a fabulous lasagna for dinner, then F took off with my camera and started taking pictures of everything in sight. I said we could have a budding Helmut Lang on our hands. My sister wondered if anyone really needed that many pictures of her bookcase.

Tomorrow I'm going to look at a $400 dress. I'm just saying.

I've also decided that, aside from a choice few LJers whom I trust, I'm going to read any more fan reactions to the latest season of Supernatural. There is a level of bitchiness going on about the direction this season is taking and the additions to the cast that is getting way OTT and making me get all upset and anxious. Just let me enjoy my show, dammit!

I will therefore leave you with part one of [livejournal.com profile] frances_veritas GINORMOUS Jensen Ackles picspam and the cast photo of wee!Josh's new play that [livejournal.com profile] phoebesmum posted today.

  • For a while there spring seemed to finally be springing, but the last couple of days have been a bitterly cold slide back into winter. I got an ice cream headache riding my bike to work today! I'm really rather over it, kthanx.
  • I'm trying my hardest to go to gym three times a week at the moment. I became somewhat out of shape while I was finishing up school last semester and I have this desire to continue to fit into my clothes. And if I work hard enough, I may even venture out in a bathing suit this summer!
  • Speaking of which, I do not miss school in any shape or form. That last semester was such a grind that the fact that I'm about to be permanently disconnected from the Monash intranet does not faze me at all.
  • I'm considering swapping over to broadband (finally!). One of my sister's friends has a wireless router that he doesn't need any more and he offered it to me in exchange for a spot of sewing, and who am I to say no to free technology in exchange for stitching a couple of seams?
  • My next step, however, is to settle on a new ISP. Any suggestions, oh wise and wonderful flist (or at least the Aussie part of it.)
  • I need at least three pairs of new work pants. Mine are all starting to look very shabby and I don't think they're long for this life. This, of course, would entail having some money to spend on work clothes and, um, I kind of fall down a little in that respect.
  • Mmm, bread and butter pudding.
  • The cardigan I'm knitting for the nephew ground to a halt for a while, but lately I've rediscovered my enthusiasm for it. I now have a back and 3/4 of a front half. I just need to do the other front the hood and sleeves and we have cardigan!
  • I'm currently watching a documentary about an Australian artist who works with, amongst other things, hessian, feathers and animals bones. Her work is quite fascinating in a gruesome kind of way.
  • My feet are cold. Must get more socks.

I has scratchy throat and runny nose. Me thinks I has cold. Me's not happy :~(

Many, many thanks to everyone on my flist who sent me well wished about finishing my degree. I have to say, I couldn't have done it without you all. You provided me without countless hours of distraction and kept me sane throughout the entire process. It was a team effort, guys, and you all deserve a huge pat on the back.

*huggles flist*

Today is the first day in about a week that I have no plans, appointments, rendezvous or meetings. It's absolute bliss! The last ten days have be so damn hectic I've hardly had time to breathe, which is why my flat is a mess and I have a huge pile of laundry to do. All of which I will do, eventually. But first, I'm just enjoying putting me feet up and doing nothing *g*

I was going to celebrate the end of my life as a uni student (for now) and the fact that I have the next two weeks off work with some random picspam, but I'm suddenly very tired and a little drunk from the bottle of red I bought to go with my fish and chips so I'll save it until tomorrow. Meanwhile, if there's something (or someone) you'd like me to post a picture of, please feel free to leave a comment with your request and I'll do my damnedest to fulfill it.
