Monday 23rd

Heya guys.
I just checked my UCAS, I got bored of waiting around. It tells me that my application still hasn't been checked by the referee. I'm a little annoyed, as I sent two emails to my old teacher, the second reminding him of the first, and he said he'd get to Mr Sorel-Cameron, my referee last year. I even sent them the reference, so they didn't have to find it themselves. Oh well, I'm about to send them another email, asking for a bit more haste.
My friend Scott goes into hospital this afternoon, I go in next Monday. Exciting times, simply because it'll be a change of scene. Plus, my money is dwindling. And I have to move out of the nice hostel this Wednesday. Their booking system is shockingly bad. On the plus, I found a decent hostel to move into, above a pub. The downside? I'm not allowed to drink alcohol from now until I go in. So the pub could be annoying, haha.
Not allowed to drink, exercise, take ANY kind of pills (paracetamol, aspirin, cod liver oil, nothing), sunbathe, eat grapefruit containing products... My body shall be pure. Should be good for saving money, anyway. That was the reason I hit the gym so hard, because I can't from now on. I watched 300 the other night, on the treadmill. Me and Scott went to see his old schoolfriend, we chilled out, had a few drinks (not Scott). But yeah, the treadmill is twice as fun when you're drunk. You gotta run forward, and keep in a straight line. Cue Jack Sparrow run, woop!
Everything seems to be breaking at the same time. My laptop is dying, it keeps shorting out, overheating, the cables are stretching... My iPod got water damage, and I took it to get repaired to find the insides had completely rusted... Yup. The good news, there is a shop nearby that sells second hand laptops, very cheap. Most of my stuff is on the external harddrive I bought before Christmas, so that shouldn't be tooo much of a problem. But the iPod, well, I might buy a cheap, older style one. The Touch was fancy, but I can make do without the gadgets. So yeah, when I come out of hospital in two Sundays time, I'll be able to listen to music again.
Can't think of much else.
Will update soon :).
Speak soon PEOPLE. GOODNIGHT.

It's Wednesday, 3.49am. Can't sleep. Moving hostel tomorrow morning, so I can't go and pass out in the TV room, watching whatever's on.
Got annoyed of turning over and over, so I thought I'd write about it! Hey ho.
Would like a drink. No, I want to exercise more, physically knacker myself out. But can't.
Bugger it.

Wednesday, 10.45pm.
I'm in an internet cafe, just checking up on events. My laptop has finally rolled over and died. Basically, it has half an hour battery, so I gotta keep it hooked up to the power. But now the power cable has conked out, so I have a laptop that works, but nothing in Melbourne that can power it up. I lie, there is a shop that I could buy a replacement adaptor, for $125. And I don't have that much money, haha!
But I have a guardian angel in the form of mummy. She is hopefully able to send over some money from my bank account, and I'm gonna try and buy a cheap second hand laptop. Was contemplating getting a new one, but it's just not economical. And I've found out just how far a few hundred dollars can stretch, which is very nice to know.
I changed hostels this morning, wasn't easy. Lugging my friend's baggage, then mine across town, because he's in hospital and I'm holding his big bag for him. He'll do the same when I'm in there. He's having a great time, they have PS3's and Xboxes, tv's at the end of the bed, big meals... And the testing is going down no problem, no problems at all. So I can't wait!
So I'm basically bumming around, because I can't sleep. I fell asleep at three in the afternoon earlier, and now I'm wired. I think I just somehow changed my body clock back to English time by mistake.
Can't think of anything else. Will come back online when I can, will tell you fine fellows how things turn out. But I know for certain, I have a roof over my head until I go into hospital, which is a huge comfort. So no sleeping on streets for this young lad :).
Ok, speak soon guys. All the best.
