Day 97 (Sat) - Home invader!
Skyped Bwetty this morning ... in my house! (he was housesitting for mum and dad) ... quite odd for me to be all the way over here and him to be in my house, very weird to see all our furniture in the background of his skype ... and getting into an argument over whether a chair was in that spot when I left home or not! lol
Later I headed to 'Dutch Woolies' for supplies for a weekend of not-leaving-the-house-or-possibly-showering serious study. To my delight I managed to find a touch of home on the supermarket shelves in the form of sausage rolls!!! even had them with heinz tomatoe sauce ...mmmm (sorry dad, but I can smother everything with it over here and not risk turning you off your dinner!)
Once home and at my desk it suddenly dawned on me that the last time I prepared for an exam I was 19, in 'first-year' uni and the subject was the devastatingla hard (ahem) Film Studies! Unfortunately, my attempts at notemaking and preparation just transported me back to Year 12!!
Day 98 (Sun) - Aussie, Aussie, Aussie ... oven, oven, oven
After another long study day I had a bunch of Aussie girls over for dinner - and to marvel at my oven :P
We made the biggest, choc-full-of-goodness veggie lasagne, topped off with chocolate cake for desert ... again, have I mentioned I love my oven?! Was nice to be around Aussies to, each reminiscing about the day we left home, making fools of ourselves bawling in the airport! But also quite revealing to see how we all look back now and wonder why we were so scared. Hindsight eh...? I've come to the realisation that I worried far more than I needed to... but how was I ever going to know that until I got here!
Day 99 (Mon) - Handed in essay today (done early so I could whizz off to Berlin soon after the exam) and realised that in one day, I'll have been away from home for 100 days!
