Drawing

It seems there has been a post explosion over the last few days! Lucky you.

That's mainly because I've actually been doing things! *SHOCK, HORROR*

Thing 1: Adventuring (as seen in last post)
Thing 2: Cooking/ baking (as seen in another post)
Thing 3...?

DRAWING.

And lucky you (again) you get to see thing 3. AKA, my most recent masterpiece.

Please enjoy, it took many thoroughly enjoyable hours.

Here's me with my masterpiece:


And here is a closeup of the picture itself:

PS. For the record, there is a thing 4. That is playing Lord of the Rings flute music. Or I should say, exhausting my lungs with my flute. It's so enjoyable I don't want to stop; I usually keep playing until I can't play any more (until I feel like I'm about to faint). The songs I'm currently working on are: In dreams, concerning hobbits, Rohan, Evenstar and Into the west.

PPS. I went on a walk this morning and Phil Goff walked past. I was surprised to say the least.

Adventure

Erin and Ryan's adventure. Version: Lyall Bay


After constant study, Ryan and I were in dire need of some kind of adventure. Apart from food shopping and for uni, we had hardly left the apartment for 2 weeks. And finally, we got the opportunity to do so (Ryan says: I love you [to me] :) ). We decided to go on a journey to Lyall Bay. (Why Lyall bay? Mainly because dad always says "You should go to Lyall Bay!")

We took the bus nice and early yesterday morning.


It was an overcast day, but not too bad. We took a walk along the beach and then went in search of a cafe. After finding two busy and noisy ones, we found an appropriate one and feasted on hot coffee and morning tea.


It was a good adventure. :)

FInished

Finished. Assignments are finally finished.

Sweet sweet relief.

The last two weeks have involved nothing much other than writing, researching and reading. My brain is about ready to burst. The sad thing is that now that I'm all done and having a break (totally deserve it) my brain is just screaming at me to do some more study. All I can say is, no brain. Shut up. I am not an absorbent sponge for knowledge like you. I need a break. And boy do I! Ryan too.

Assignment 1: International relations. 2,500 words. Worth 40%
Assignment 2: Linguistics. 2,000 words + interview. Worth 40%
Assignment 3: Japanese. 1,200 characters. Worth 10%

That's nearly a third of my entire grade this semester within a week.

Makes me sick to think about it.

As such, I would like to formally apologise for not blogging... ever. Whenever I have a spare moment, I'm either reading, cooking or sleeping. Usually sleeping!

But no more!!

They are all done now. All that's left this semester is 3 tests in the last week.

This weekend, Ryan and I are going to go to Lyall Bay, like dad is always suggesting. And on Saturday, I'm going to meet the girl I interviewed for my linguistics assignment for coffee.

Needless to say, It should be the best weekend we've had in... Quite some time :)
