For the first couple of days, I was pretty much lazying around the house, rejoicing (a little too much) about the fact I had 6 weeks to relax (reflecting on that, I now have 3...).
Christmas; my family usually doesn't celebrate Christmas, so we visit our friend's place annually for a lunch feast and catching up. No, we don't do the whole unwrapping of presents, though I usually give them something, because it feels so empty without some presents! This year, I gave them Starbucks mugs which were holiday themed since I thought it'll be nice to have some festive feels in our house haha.
So I've started tennis training again which I stopped for studying but resumed again for the holidays to keep fit. Didn't do so well for the first couple of weeks, especially during the annual competition, however during the term comps, I had a bit more luck there haha.
On the 27-29th of December, we left for a short family road trip to Taree/Port Stephens to enjoy camel riding, horse riding, the beach and family time. It was really nice, though I have to say Taree was a bad destination choice on our behalf since there wasn't many attractions/"fun-stuff" to do around the area.
On New Year's Eve went out to see the 9pm fireworks at the harbour with a friend which was nice. :)
Came home to watch the 12am ones though and played cards with the family.
On the second day of the new year (2014), went over to one of my friend's place to have a study sesh. Initially, we planned that day for some dissections to satisfy our evil needs to cut up flesh and inspect their insides and chuck meat everywhere. Haha just kidding (wtf did I just read moment much). Nah, we just felt our biology course wasn't covering as much dissections as we'd like, so we wanted to experience it ourselves. The only problem was trying to find the parts for the dissection since hardly and butchers appeared to sell eyeballs and stuff haha. So we settled on studying...only to find ourselves browsing through tumblr and doing about 3 hours of half-assed studying.
On the 3rd of Jan, I headed to the library again in hopes of completing some work, only to find I'm too tired to concentrate haha. What is life... Can't say I didn't try haha
Yesterday (the 4th) went to watch the hobbit: the desolation of smaug, which was alright. It's interesting, but it isn't one of those movies that linger in my mind after I've watched it.
Today, headed to Cronulla beach to catch some waves and sun. Very relaxing, though now, I'm even more convinced I should do some work.
So some plans for the holidays:
- 10th will be going with another friend to the library for a modern study sesh and catch up over lunch (hopefully this time we'll be more productive)
- 16th will be celebrating my friends birthday (rather belatedly) at some cafés for a good food adventure
Looking forward to studying haha, that's all for now!
