I've been in Brisbane for about a week and am enjoying my empty house. I don't mean that I don't like my housemates, on the contrary I am looking forward to seeking them again. It's just that having the whole house to myself is a sort of luxury for me since I seldom get chances like this. Now I can put things wherever I want. I can watch tv anytime, any channel and as loudly as I want. I can leave the dishes in the sink and wash them when I feel like it. I can play my MP3s at top volume and watch movies too. But best of all, I can have all the freedom and privacy I want...heh heh heh...
Hot, hot, hot and I can't sleep once more. The fan is at full blast but all it can do is blow hot air around the room. One thing I don't get is why the outside temperature is so cool but my house and my room is so hot. I am actually sweating whilst I sit here and type. This sucks and I have not been sleeping well at all. Please will winter come quick???
I have not mentioned anything about my honours even though I have met up with my supervisor 3 times last week. It's not something I can get very excited about. Travelling to the lab takes me about 1 hr 30 mins including waiting time since the buses don't come very frequently. Walking around in this heat is not pleasant and I detest the sticky feel on my skin. I am forever moping my sweat. Other than that, the people in my new lab are actually very friendly and very kind to me. I do feel a little out-of-place sometimes since I am one of the two Asian people there. Still I think this would be a real good chance to get to know a wider variety of people. The workload for honours is tough. I have been trying to keep my spirits up by encouraging myself with minor things like getting a brand new computer on my desk in the lab with a super-huge LCD screen, getting to organise and plan my own experiments and timing, getting a new labcoat to wear in the lab there, having a great supervisor and buying a new pair of shoes so that I can wear them in the lab. Still, all this seems so pathetic when I think of 2006. Right now I wish I had taken up M's offer to sell me his old iPOD because it would come in so handy when I travel to and fro from the lab.
Too late for regrets now .............................................
