update: holidays - part II

Okay, holidays are nearly over, this is my last week, and the reality is barely sinking in haha. 

Picking up from the previous post... 

Since after a nice weekend, the rest of the week was spent either at home or at the library, with the occasional tennis training and games. My racquet actually snapped its strings during a game, and I fell from second place to second last hahahaa. :'(

On Thursday went out to the city to have lunch and hang out at Hyde park with a friend. Hyde park has to be one of my favourite places in Sydney where I've shared many memories in. I remember one time, my best friend and I were helping with donations for a charity and we walked into Hyde park, and couldn't resist the amazing weather so we just laid on the grass, listened to music and talked for about an hour, haha. 

On the 14th, met up with a school friend to study modern history together. Notably, we talked more than worked, but towards the end, we felt the time slipping so we worked together on reading ahead for a topic, and managed to scrape through a textbook. 

The next day, the 15th, I met up with another school friend to go to Newtown to catch up and have a few bites. I had missed her birthday party on Friday the week before, so I made it up to her to try some highly recommended cafés and food places in Newtown. We went to The Pie Tin and the Black Star Pastry, where we tried the famous strawberry and watermelon cake. Both places are incredible, and I've fallen in love with Newtown and it's weirdness. It's unique and gives off an easy-going vibe, and as you walk around the place, it has an other-worldly feeling- just feels like your on another planet across the other side of the world. 

On the 16th went off to the library with another friend, unsure if I was productive that day, but managed to cross off a couple of things from my to-do list. 

Friday, I stayed at home and attempted to study, but again, unsuccessfully. Giving up for the day, I left for a family dinner which was nice, since I don't go out at night often, though I should, the city is so vibrant at night, it's refreshing. 

On Saturday I woke up early to attend a tutor chemistry practical session at UNSW with a fellow friend. We had already covered this at school, but my friend wanted someone to accompany her so I figured, why not, haha. Afterwards, went out for a family lunch, and bought a daily planner (finally) before heading home to study. 

Sunday again attempted two questions of math, couldn't get anywhere so I gave up. Decided to watch the movie 47 Ronin afterwards at night. It was alright, the acting at the beginning of the movie wasn't that great but the action and fighting scenes were on par. 

Today is Monday, just finished another tennis training session and had lunch. I'll be once again attempting to study after my shower, we'll see how that goes haha !
