Long awaited update! (or not?)

Well.. now that i have the internet on my own computer FINALLY i can make a new post!

well.. on the second week of uni i was hit with 3 major assignments. havnt finished any yet, but theyre pretty much all done. i got another case study today (fluffy is a 7 yr old australian silky terrier with cancer, how do you tell the owners its gonna die? etc etc etc) so yeah. this case study is gonna be so easy compared to the first one; about acidosis in cattle. yeah. great. lol. i know NOTHING about cattle! but now i know a bit more i spose!

so yeah. every weekend/every second weekend i go to pallaranda, which is a beach nth of the strand up here in townsville. its a really nice place cause you can see magnetic island and its really nice, and theres always jetskis, etc out there to watch. and, most of all, theres a stack of GORGEOUS red tailed black cockatoo! theres literally hundreds of these cockatoos here!

well.. heres some photos!






























and ma new bike. had lots of dilemas with it up here. id never put a bike together before, so took me a while to put this thing together. then i had problems with the handlebars; they were lose and kept turning around, sliding through their holder thingy, etc. fixed that. then the brake cable snapped when i tried to stop when a car was parking in front of me; i had to use my feet as a brake and i almost hit the car. then i got it to a bike shop (in my little car; had to take the front tyre off and put it in the back seat) to get the cable replaced. but all is good now, so im happy!




thats all folks!

Update, update, update!

Ahh that lovely scent of overheating printer and ink...

Im currently printing out another 214 or so pages of lecture notes, ones that i missed from the 400 or so that ive already printed. fun fun. yesterday i found out that i have TWO practical classes late at night; one on monday from 6pm-9pm and the other on wednesday, 7pm till 9pm. GREAT. ill explain more in my next update, which will hopefully be made from my own computer instead of the colleges computers. then i'll be able to upload photos for you...

uni's been alright so far. im actually starting to really miss my family, pets, and of course, you guys. ive literally got noone to talk to up here everynight, and im always looking forward to when mum calls me everynight cause then i have someone to talk to. yeah..

the red tailed black cockatoos up here are AWESOME! i went to a beach north of the strand on the last two weekends, on teh first i noticed the cockatoos, the second i actually went and sat amongst them while they were in the trees. they are there every weekend, and probably every day during the week as well. they eat these really big green nuts that are about the size of my palm, literally. i quickly found out it wasnt sucha good idea to sit under the trees that the cockatoos were in cause those nuts hurt if they hit you... i got some pretty sweet photos of them flying, so thats pretty good i spose, considering my aim is to get good photos of every animal i see.. yes, i also took some scenery pictures for mum. i tell you the beaches up here arnt NEARLY as great. darker browny kinda sand, thats courser(sp?) than the stuff down south... and the water dosn't look great and ill never go swimming there cause of all the dangerous jellyfish.. fancy that; im afraid of my favourite dessert- jelly.

so yeah. im still waiting for these things to finish printing. ill mention more about townsville later, as i said, when i have my own computer and can upload a few photos for those of you who are actually interested. ok, adios, i got too much stuff to do! (besides waiting for this really slow printer..)
