Another Virus

No, not the computer type. The maya type.

I hate being sick. My body despises me and all I seem to do is try to prevent myself from complaining loudly every time I get an ache or I cough and it huts. At least I won't be able to pass it on to Robin who is in Papua New Guinea this week *miss you babe!*

The most enormous headache struck me on Sunday morning which then carried on the whole day. By Monday morning, I had a swollen neck, sore throat and the remains of the headache from Sunday. I had the day off work and tried to dose up and toughen up on Tuesday. I was in the office by 0630 as I couldn't sleep anymore. I piked early to head home but stopped off to do some quick groceries so I wouldn't have to eat yoghurt for dinner. I made cannelloni and Mirkz came around to help me eat it and keep me company.

I'm still sore and achey as all hell but at least I'm not completely bed-ridden like the last time I was sick in September. Urgh, I couldn't go through that again.

No running for me this week, even though last weekend I covered 6km. I might do some circuit training tonight if my body lets me, but I won't count on it.

Here's to some lovely weather on the weekend so I can catch up with family and friends!

Contemporary Accounting

You probably wouldn't believe it if I told you, but I just bought two textbooks for Uni; Economics and Contemporary Accounting. How mental is that? I never ever thought I would stoop so low as to buy accounting and economics books. I've truly gone crackers!

What's more, I even read chapter 1 of the accounting book... for fun!

Back to Uni

I have been extremely lazy with my Blogging again (which certainly isn't a good thing).

As I'm also maintaining the website for the ECU Cavalier School of Fencing, it has been difficult to just sit down for half an hour or so and just write. Express. Inform.

I got a letter of offer for entrance back to Curtin for a double masters degree. I must be crazy, but I've been thinking about it for years and I've finally done the research and signed up. I have a place in the Master of Science (Mineral Economics), Master of Business Administration course starting in May and I'm busting to get back into study.

Things have been a little idle at work and this is just what I need to shape up the 'ol brain and get some more knowledge. It's a business kinda world out there, and not much room for "just" an engineer.

I've also signed up for another semester of Swedish classes on Monday nights which starts next week. Again, I haven't had the chance to practice too much but I'm looking forward to advancing my knowledge in my third language. Good things come in threes :)
