Thursday 21st January 1999

Wow, my first proper diary entry for the year. I've been really lazy as regard it since about New Years. What have I been up to? Got back to Uni about the 9th. I've been trying rather unsuccessfully to get some work done on my posters. It's been very, very hot, so the motivation has been really low.
Had lunch with Nikki today, so we had a good long chat about various all and sundry. Yesterday was Bridget's birthday, so Red, Bridget, Susan, Jules and myself went to P.J. O'Riley's for a few drinks. Red gave her a stethoscope for her birthday which was a really funny gift.
It won't be very long until I fly out to New Zealand, so I have to start getting my shit together. The posters have to just about be ready for laminating come Monday, so I must really try to finish them this week-end.
There are a whole bunch of rowers here at the moment, the one's staying at John's are from Joey's, and they were being idiots and making prank internal phone calls, so that was very annoying.
I got a phone message from Shane this evening, it said that the Science tutor position was likely to be relegated to an assistant academic position. If it is, I don't think I'll stick around. I don't want to have to move back into a small room, and I now have so much stuff here that I think a better option would be for me to maybe go to University house since I am a Ph.D student. I will go and talk to them tomorrow. It doesn't matter where I go, I'm going to save money if I move out. I'm not sure what I'd do with all the excess money if I was to move out into a share house, I'd only have to pay about $80 - $120 per week, and I'd have plenty left over. I would hate to end my relationship with John's, but if they want to push me out, then that's fine by me, I'll just remember to take any furniture with me that I might need. ;)
I've been reading Jennifer's page and about how her hormone treatment is progressing. It sounds very interesting. I'm still toying with the idea, but am really too busy to chase it up properly at the moment.
Susan and Jules are thinking about moving out, I'm not sure where to, but out of John's is a start I guess. I haven't heard form Soba in quite a while, I have sent here a few emails, but haven't received any reply as of yet.
What else? I don't know, there's not all that much happening. Time for bed…
