weird and wonderful

gee my life is so damn complicated right now. i wish i could press a button and have everything arranged nicely for me. 

it's complicated because 2 august i fly for london via singapore and dubai, train in to weymouth. sail the skandia sail for gold regatta.

then sail laser world championships in hayling island, along the coast east of weymouth. 

all in all 5 weeks, by the time i'm back in aussie (12 sep) mid-sem break will have just finished and i will be 21.

on top of that this frequent flying is likely to become a regular feature of my uni life, with more trips to come, including asian games possibly clashing with exams all over again.

so i'm applying for reduced study load and trying to arrange with coordinators and lecturers for me to have some degree of flexibility with my assessments and assignments etc. i might have to do summer courses it seems.

i'm glad i went skiing last weekend. it was a blast. now i have to deal with what is to happen next. things are complicated enough.

trivia

'new zealand could feasibly finish as the only unbeaten side at the 2010 world cup, should the winner of this clash between netherlands and uruguay go on to lose the final.'

haha!
