Sunday 8th March

Heya people.
It is Sunday, the last full day of my hospital adventure. I'm in good spirits, I was able to get the cheque made to cash, so I can go into a bank tomorrow and put $2050 straight into my account, no faffing. I am able to eat a meal that doesn't take two minutes to prepare by adding it to boiling water. And I may soon be on my way back to Sydney, to get a bloody job. Don't wanna piss away the money I'll soon have.
And on top of that, I just won a poker game. Seven people, I won by holding a pair of aces, and then another came up on the river. Had to get the guy to think I had crap, it worked, I won. I love that game.
I'll try and phone Emma tomorrow, see if she got her parcel delivered.
And Scott paid me back and checked me into a hostel tomorrow, so I can simply walk in and do whatever.
I'm looking forward to whatever happens. But I just wish the frikking UCAS thing would get sorted, I'm very worried now. I sent another email to my teacher, I just wish I'd get some feedback. Ticking me off.
Ok, I gotta go, need to sort stuff out, got things to do. Speak soon, I'll let you know what happens.
All the best.

"Don't worry, about a thing,
Cus every little thing, is gonna be alright.
Woke up this morning,
Stared at the rising sun,
Three little birds by my doorstep,
Swinging sweet songs, A melody pure and true,
Singing, 'This is my message to you hoo hoo." (Bob Marley, Three Little Birds)

Alright people! I am out of the hospital, it's a beautiful day, and I discover that pretty much the whole city is shut down because of Labour Day. People everywhere, walking in the streets, music and partying... Daim, haha. Quite odd, being cooped up for a week and then let out onto a festival. But on the downside, the banks are closed, so I can't cash my flipping cheque. And I had to sign a form, saying if I lose or damage it then there's no replacement, so I'm kinda crapping myself. Luckily the cash Scott gave me plus my poker winnings will keep me going for a good few days, just in case.
So tonight I'm gonna chill. I'm not even gonna go the gym; apparently a guy on the trial had blood taken, and the same day he did some weights and his arm filled up with blood. So I'm going to just relax.
Right then, will keep you updated.
Speak soon.

G'day. It's Tuesday, David's birthday! WOOO, happy birthday to you indeed :).
I wish you much happiness and many smiles.
You won't read this for a few hours, but if I were you I'd start celebrating your birthday in Australia time, then you can start a few hours earlier :D.
All the best.

Hey.
It's Wednesday, not my happiest day in a while. I couldn't sleep last night, at all. And then from about 8am til about 7pm, I was having those recurring stomach cramps. Kept taking painkillers and throwing them back up again. Was the closest I've ever been to going to hospital and getting help. I have a theory as to their nature, it could be simple food poisoning, as I had a steak last night that hadn't been kept cold. Oh well, I'm feeling better now, but I know for a fact that tonight will be another sleepless one, due to having been asleep in the daytime.
Better news, UCAS is now completed. Everything that had to be sent off from school has been done so, and I'm now waiting for the universities reply. Bit worried, but at least they've recieved the damn thing. A letter will be sent from UCAS to the house, and I'll need the track number that's inside to see what decision is made.
I need something to do, I need a goal. At the moment I feel like I'm stumbling around achieving nothing. Once I get my money, I'll try and use it to achieve a target, one of the little ones I set myself before I came out here. Once I get to Sydney, I'll be able to go to the park three times a week, that'll be good, I'm out of practice. But at the moment, nothing.
If you can, look on the internet for the American Beauty soundtrack. Try and listen to the song called "American Beauty." It's by the same composer as the soundtrack for Meet Joe Black, and it's a nice tune.
Right, I'm off. I need to think of a way to waste a few hours.

"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say. " (Lord of the Rings)

"Many folk like to know beforehand what is to be set on the table; but those who have laboured to prepare the feast like to keep their secret; for wonder makes the words of praise louder."(Gandalf the White)
