9 December 2006

Hello people! So much to tell…

Exam Results

After my last exam, where I walked out 1/2 hour in, I wasn’t expecting a lot in terms of results this semester. Indeed, I was fearing that I’d definately be back next year, to continue this never-ending degree.

Results came back on Tuesday… frankly they shocked the hell out of me.

  • The exam I walked out of (and did supplementary for) — 66% - Credit
  • Satellite Comms - Another iffy one I thought I wouldn’t pass — 61% - Pass
  • Thesis (The big one, that I mostly wrote in 2 days) — 73% - Credit

    Overall, I’m completely stoked and finally the end is in sight!

    Mini-holiday to Avoca

    Days off have been rare, so when both Adam and I managed to find three days off in a row, we packed up the booze and the dog, and headed up to the Central Coast to Avoca Beach.

    As with all holidays! the time went sooo fast it wasn’t funny! Walks on the beach with Shelton, who proved that he is really a water dog. He’s still disobediant, and enjoyed splashing in the water, rolling in the sand, then jumping over unsuspecting sunbathers.

  • We had a few friends come up to Avoca on Tuesday night to celebrate passing the exams… Scotch and Poker, a most enjoyable mix! Lost at the poker unfortunately… as is law the person we taught to play poker for the first time cleaned up completely!

    Yay, a credit for a course you did a supplementary for! Go Gussie! And you got through everything and nearly a D for your thesis. Congratulations!

    And it really sucks that someone could be so narrow-minded. This is not an example of Christian love in action, is it? Adam certainly deserves better. And so do you.

    such a cutey - and the dog as well ;-)
    My brother is a fundie - I went to his wedding where his father in law talked about how catholics ie my family weren’t proper christians and my brother thanked his best man who was like a brother to him, but didn’t mention me once… so I guess it’s be careful what you wish for at the same time as yeah it bites big time.

    GUssy finally updated and yay for some new photos!!!! Im most disturbed by Adams family. They’ve been acting this way for a very long time. It’s high time Addy stop trying to appease them and just cut ties. Tell him to stop being his sweet and adorable self for once and think of himself rather than what’s best for others…

    Please give him some hugs for me *hugggs*

    She sounds really small minded and bigotted. I would simply ignore her back. Acknowledge her kids and partner (unless he’s a jerk too), ignore her.

    Or, if he wants to attack, ask her how she explained to her kids that daddy and mummy weren’t married when they were born, and perhaps where they came from in the first place (Random pre-marital fling? Condom broke? Is she only getting married for her kids sake?)

    Give Ads a hug from me and if he’s really down, tell him I said that obviously, her wedding is, to her, all about her and her ego, and if she feels his presence would ruin it, she’s not his sister, she’s just genetically similar. Fuck her.

    yay on the credit!

    That’s really sad for Adz. He’s such a nice guy. I agree, he doesn’t deserve that kind of treatment.

    Congrats on your results.

    You are the 2nd LJ friend who has a partner called Adam. Just remind him, you are family now and your combined happiness is all that matters.

    I have a cousin who is much older than me so much so her children are late-teens and early 20’s. Years ago she never attended when we visited family on the west coast (USA) and avoided us even when in Vancouver her home town……because well i’m a pervert oh yes and gay too, and sharing a bed with a guy…..all the sinful stuff.

    Some see it as God’s pay back…..her youngest son is gay. He told her so. When she came asking me what she did wrong to have a gay son I told her she did everything right, who catches his eye and whom he prefers to bed is just 10% of what makes him a (gay) man…..accept you can’t change him and concentrate on the other 90%.

    Merry Christmas and happy SAFE holidays to you and yours.
