So, I last updated my LJ five weeks ago so I think it's high time to do something about it. I've not been to chatty lately since it's exam month. Got one more for this Thursday and my last - well, hopefully last - ever uni exam the Thursday next and then I am so done with uni. Three degrees are enough, thank you!

What can I write? Well, Melbourne's been having an interesting spring. One day it's 36 degrees and the next day it's cold, windy and drizzly. I'm getting an aircon today cause there's no way I'm gonna suffer through another 46 degrees day with just a fan again. I'm getting it today as soon as my brother is up, which I'm sure isn't going to be soon, but that does mean delaying my studying further and further back. I haven't started studying anything at all for Thursday and it's not like it's a subject I can bluff my way out of. It's finance, it's calculations, and it's one that I hate! Hate here meaning that everytime I have a test or assignment for it, I always end up with just average pass mark... and my history with final exams aren't that great. I really need to pass so that I can graduate next month with my mates, but things aren't looking great with this subject. Pah. I should've taken this subject last semester, dangit!

Apart from uni stuff, nothing much is happening. My mum is here. Has been here since end of last month. Will be here til end of this month. I love my mum and all that, but this one visit here is so hard to handle. She's still all raw and sensitive from the separation and that irritates me so much. We ended up having fights after fights and this just adds stress to my otherwise already hopeless exams. Whoever said it was a good idea for her to come here in the first place?! It's nice that she's keeping busy by doing stuff in the house (my house looks so clean to a level I never knew it could!) and at weekends we go out doing touristy stuff, but I actually look forward to her going home and not have to restrain myself. It's just exhausting. I know I'm supposed to be understanding and my counselor said I should just deflect, but seriously, I just want this to be done and over!

I promised myself I would just watch Glee on TV and not download it, but Kristin Chenoweth's appearance just totally voided that promise. She was so awesome! And now that's another TV show to download weekly, hmmm. I ended up buying all the Glee songs in iTunes and been playing them nonstop. Anybody unlucky enough to ride in my car will be subject to my singing those songs, hehe.

Talking about downloads, mine is starting to pile up, no thanks to uni as usual. Only three more weeks of classes, and then swotvac and three weeks of exams. Luckily this time around my exam schedule is pretty nice - one every Thursday instead of four consecutive ones in the four last days of the entire exam month (that was just a cruel cruel joke by the Gods!). I managed to finish one assignment for Marketing earlier today, though, which is great cause now I only have Tax and Finance assignments and both aren't as wordy as the Marketing one. I'm actually kinda liking the Tax one cause it's so structured. In fact, I can sadly say I like the subject. It's clear-cut and, again, structured, just the way I like subjects to be, especially after the vagueness of Arts subjects!

But anyway, my youngest brother arrived here last week, so it's official all of us three are here now. Mum and dad are separating again. They had a brief stint of reconciliation but then things just went wrong again so now dad is staying in the apartment and mum's moved to the suburban house again. It's a good thing they only sold the BSD house and not the Ciputat house too, so at least when things like this happen, each of them has a place to be in. My only concern now is where I should stay when I visit home, wherever that is physically. I mean, I would be sort of obliged to stay with mum, but I've gotten used to staying in the apartment when I visit home that the commute from mum's home would feel blah compared to staying at dad's flat in the CBD. But then I'm the only girl so mum would probably expect me to be with her to again be a shoulder to cry on. I don't know. I'm thinking of just renting an apartment when I visit home just to avoid all the drama, but of course I'd rather spend the money eating and shopping than renting. Blah blah blah, parents drama are just so exhausting.

Another thing is that one of my bestest uni mates got married today. It broke my heart that I can't be there, but considering that I've travelled home three times this year alone, I think I've maxed out my going-home quota. Besides, the whole parents drama will just turn everything sour. The last trip, the unplanned one, was such a tiring visit, what's with both my brothers practically ran out of the house once I arrived and delegated all mediating roles to me. It's really not one visit I want to repeat sometime soon.

Whatever. I finished one assignment today so I'm gonna indulge! Toodles!

Wahahahahahaha. I don't know why I put off watching SPN 5x03 for so long but I'm so glad I finally saw it!

( some SPN squee )

And then Grey's premiere. Not sure about how they'll handle the whole Ellen Pompeo maternity leave (and personally don't really like how they're making her all sex-crazy to avoid screen-time) but the entire George thing was still enough to make me cry all the way through. Can't believe it's real :(

But the best tv premiere this season has to be NCIS. I so wanted to hug my screen after finishing that one off.

Now I need some days off to watch the rest of my shows. I still have a gazillion more shows that started last week that I haven't seen, mainly because my dad and my uncles and aunties have been here and I haven't been home a lot. I'm not sure when I'll get to see them. I know it's spring break, but I have to catch up on uni assignments and work that by the time I finish it's probably going to be SwotVac. Meh. But but but two months until I am done with uni and this time I've learnt my lesson. No more uni for a long long time for me!!

September Springtime - that means better weather, better mood and big yay to my TV shows returning, woohoo!! Add that to my FoxtelIQ and I now see my social life ceasing to exist, but whatever :P

Home is now very nearly fully furnished, double yay! Bought some more furniture last Saturday and they're going to be delivered this Saturday. My house now looks pretty the way I want it to be! I know I've been a semi-serial mover, what's with having moved flats three times in the past two years, but I'm done with that now (since moving again would mean moving a gazillion furniture too now!). This new place is in a nice neighbourhood, near where most of my family here are, and the house itself is pretty. It's an old type of house that reminds me of my grandmother's house back home... I would call it Dutch-colonial style, though I'm sure that's not what it's architechturally called.

Anyway, house is now all set. Dad is coming in three weeks for Eid and I'm pretty excited. Most of my aunts and uncles are coming too, all at the same time. Most of them are because their children are here, but the others are here to spend Eid together. Out of the 10 kids in my dad's family, 6 of them are coming here, with their spouses, so this Eid is finally going to feel like a proper family Eid again. Then in October my baby brother is coming over to start Uni. He's such a genuinely pleasing kid and I can't wait to live with him. He's always fun to be around with and always very talkative (even if in most cases what he say never make sense!)

Alright, now it's meme time as tagged by illyria_novia ( You are what you read! )

Dear Finance class,

I hate you.

No love,
