Sunday 15th

Hello Hello, my good friends and avid readers.
It is indeed Sunday, the day of rest. I took advantage of this by getting up at 2pm, haha.
Basically, I'm trying to get to the gym as often as possible. I've gone in three times in four nights. And my legs, when I woke up this afternoon, felt like they weren't there, until I tried to move them. Then I quickly realised their presence, as they hurt.
But I feel good. I'm eating healthily, omitting carbohydrates in the form of bread, stuff like that. I have these cravings though. Like, I've discovered stem ginger and chocolate cookies, which are made perfectly, so they're not crunchy... And I found these chocolates, I call them DeathSquares. They call themselves Peanut Chocolates bites, but its basically peanuts moulded together with toffee, and then covered in chocolate. I didn't realise they would be THAT bad, but it certainly makes you want to burn them off.
My money troubles are over. I decided to omit these details before, because I wasn't sure if I had been signed up, but me and my friend have signed up for medical trials. Basically, we go into hospital for a week, they give us some pills and measure the effects. The pills are anti-inflammatory jobbies, similar to another pill that's a steroid. They've already been tested on another group of people, I'm just a week behind them. The risk is very small :). But the outcome is muy grandé: I get $2050 upon leaving hospital.
My friend is getting the same treatment, and the same amount. This will possibly help us fund the roadtrip, if it's still on. Scott is in Canberra seeing a friend, but he tells me it's not as fun as he thought it would be. So who knows.
More good news, some roommates left this morning, for the same reason I did; they didn't book another week quickly enough. So I sneakily grabbed the bottom bunk, hoo-harrrr. Sho shneaky.
Not much else to report on really. Making friends, I have a cool Canadian roommate to chat to.
Alright mateys, next report coming in a few days.
All the best.
Byeeeee

Tuesday, 18th.
Scott is back from his mini travels, all is well. The road trip is still on, so that's something to look forward to. I'm still trying to get by as smoothly as possible. No more DeathSquares. Watched Snatch last night in the gym, all for that final fight scene. Burnt off 1,000 calories. Woop! Was on there for an hour forty minutes, haha. My legs hurt.
I've discovered that humans live for distraction. What we really want, all we need, is to get by, trying to find something to keep us from boredom. I say humans, but I really mean I was walking the streets the other day, trying to think of something to do. And the other day I had a lazy day, something I hadn't had in a while. I basically sat on my bed, watching series my friend had left behind with me, while eating milk and cookies. Beautiful! I plan on doing it again sometime, it truly was amazing.
Not much else to say really.
Umm...
The weather's still nice. I discovered quite a severe tan line on my arm, where the Tshirt ends. My body is still pale as milk, haha, need to get that sorted.
Nope, I'm out.
See ya...
Oh yeah, plan on sending Emma's pressie soon. Anti nag, anti nag...
Bye

Ello ello people. Not much to report on, just popped in to say a friendy "Ello ello."
Melbourne is sunny again, it's nice. People are all cool, have been invited to a barbeque on Saturday, and some friends from the Jolly Swagman are coming down here tomorrow, so that could be exciting.
Anyway, low battery. Keep smiling everyone :). And if there's nothing to smile about, remember something that made you laugh. Don't be ashamed to laugh out loud at that thought, who cares what other people think. Treasure those happy moments :).
Alright people, gotta go.
See ya.

"I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn't a second at all, it stretches on forever, like an ocean of time... For me, it was lying on my back at Boy Scout camp, watching falling stars... And yellow leaves, from the maple trees, that lined my street... Or my grandmother's hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper... And the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new Firebird... And Janie... And Janie... And... Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday." (Lester Burnham, American Beauty)
