Ahhh, cityrail - a fine institution that has been an invaluable asset in my journey in Australia. I wanted to grab a tape recorder and make a small "sounds of Syndey" CD. The assuring 'ticks' of crossing signals telling you its not safe to go. It's so handy being able to 'hear' what colour the lights are. The 'beeps' and 'boops' of a Tangara warning tone always comes before its closing doors. The police sierns with thier 'go up the scale just a little bit higher than the Toronto ones so that your ears go deaf' noises. Sometimes if its really quiet outisde, I can hear the ferrys way down at Circular Quay tooting their horns.

*sigh* it's the little things that I am going to miss

I have been cooped up in The Loft for the past week. I haven't done really much. Work emailed me today with details of how much work I will have and if I am still interested. I decided to go to work for all of next week. The hours a pretty hazy, but I dont have to be in until 10 - which is all good :) I guess the fact that given the chance for me to work, the fact that I actually want to just shows my passion for it. It is the best job I have ever had, I love it - another thing to miss when I leave. I just hope I can find something just as enjoyable when I get back to Canada - that will make the time go by faster, until my trip to Europe.

The new website is coming along great. I am not going to release the url until i'm done with it - and it probably wont be until I get back to Canada. The small amount of people that I showed it to have been pretty blown away, so I am happy I am spending my days cooped up in The Loft doing something producive. I just have to keep an eye on my tan, don't want it to start fading before I go home. I also need a haircut, badly. Since I probably wont have time at all next week (due to work) I think I will get it done Tomorrow.

Tonight I am going to the movies - by my self - to see "O Brother, Where Art Thou?". It's Friday night and I REALLY need to get out, even if it is moving from one dark room to another.

I have been peeking around and reading other peoples journals. Some people are like me, they list what they did - what they thought the past few days. Other people put more 'expression' into things - more feeling. I personally just write what I feel like writing. Not everything makes it into the journal, and not usually in the best grammar/spelling. I just want a record of stuff that happened so that I can look back and be 'wow! I remember when that happened!'. Not, 'holy shit! I sound like a freak!'.

The social agenda is starting to heat up again, people are cramming in more events before the end of summer and the start of school. Tomorrow I am going to a 'get drunk, sleep over' party at Emmas house. I have no idea who this girl is, but she sent out mass invitations to everyone, who then passed on the invitations to their friends. I can picture something from "American Pie" developing here. Should be good for a laugh - and free drinks too! Next Saturday is May and Anthonys combination party with about 120 people or so. More mature, dress up nicely and hang with family sort of thing. I also have to pay a visit to The Paragon - it's Katrinas 20th birthday and I told her I would try to make it.

Weather has been good - hot and sticky. Going to be a HUGE shock going into the snow and ice. It's going to be good finally freeing the black hole and be able to see movies when they come out ( and not 6 months later). Plus things seem to move a little bit faster in Canada - who knows. I am also looking forward to seeing Mark and Damon again, hopefully helping them out with their final school project and possibly going to Florida with them in March. I just miss everyone back home.
