A Rusty Guide To Student Life

"The sun is in the sky! Six miles high! The sun is in the sky, Tiny Teddies makin' it bakin it' shakin' it!" 

How great was that? Wasn't that something special; our two week holiday where the sun actually shined? Ahh the mysteries of Auckland weather, not that I am complaining right now. But the world still turns, Michael Jackson jokes are still old and assignments are still due in. (Did everyone else have assignments due over the freakin' holidays?!!)

As students we have a terrible situation; to stay inside when the sun is shining ever so brightly. And I know you have tried to take your lap top outside with you and have experienced a major design flaw - sun glare off the screen. Yes it does seem like everything is against us.

As students we are often poor, dirty and depressed, but I have a solution to turn that all around! My new obsession is which pet I should own. Every flat should have pet of some kind (even an ugly flat mate?). So here is a list of pets that may or may not suit you.

Pony No. Not even a miniature! No!

Squirrel + Rabbit = Chinchilla
Oh! The name just oozes with coolness. How exotic is that? Imagine how many significant others you could pull with "Want to come to my flat and see my chinchilla?" And just to be able to say; "I'm feeding/cleaning/shaving my chin". What laughter and good times!

In recent days I have been thinking; ‘what the hell am I doing here?'  I know this is kind of old news now but, I could have a high powered job earning mega-bucks without any qualification.Where do I get my inspiration? A little old lady named Mary-Anne; she had a ‘high powered' job, 10 YEARS??! In something boring called immigration, but that is beside the point. She wasn't qualified and even better still she hooked her family up with sweet deals.

These very words were released from my mouth last Monday morning, as I slowly sunk back into reality. And I'm well and truly back, we're all back, from a very relaxing break which was the perfect size. I'm sure you have all noticed there is more than one reason to stay in bed (again, I know but it's not what you think!) It's so cold!!!!!!!! I hope the extra exclamation marks emphasized that enough. I now have even less motivation to go to my early morning lectures.
