Assuming that is a pool.

On a sugar overload and I'm bored ****less with assignments.
It's a pool. I would do the same, Splash it right into their "indoor outdoor living"
haha.

Looking at all these posh houses makes me wonder where is all there stuff. Like tv remotes, mobile phone charger, Toothbrush, bloody even pillows on the lounge. They seriously must live uncomfortable. (May or may not have just listed the things around me)

Awww poor little Aaron. Don't forget to take a bottle to bed with you in case you get thirsty...(The adult equivalent to a bottle could be booze, its entirely up to you )

Packing is ok, unpacking is worse. Normally resembles tipping the bag over the washing machine and hoping nothing valuable was in there

I have uni today, hopping to get a huge chunk of my wordpress assignment done. Once i finish that, just a editing assessment and handing everything in, then im FREEEEE for about 3 months.

Sitting at the UoW Trade Show and Research Showcase showing off our new application which was the result of my yearly project subject at Uni.

It's all judged - judges didn't look too impressed, looked at some of the other projects and I could see why. Oh well.

After being bored and doing nothing for so long...
Decided to install the muffler.... Now that was stupid
Firstly it didn't fit as I hoped, Need to modify the stock mid pipe.
And secondly because now my arms are super weak... Legs like jelly and light headed.
At least it looked sweet
Re attack it with my brother on the weekend.

Cheers Mad Mat for the help

Kind of got some exciting news. We had to write a illustrated book for this creative writing class im taking (It's an elective, has nothing to do with my degree, and it sounded easy at the time) Got my results back today. HD with a side note of "You should get this published, speak to me after class"

Now, HOLY SH1T BALLS, PUBLISHED?!?!?! Me, a writer? Nooooo. I met with her, she gave me some contacts if i wanted to develop it further.

Little does she know, i wrote it in a matter of hours before it was due. Biggest piece of poo i thought i've ever written hahahaha
