back to yo roots

Been back home for almost a week now. We've been squeezing 10 people in our tiny little house and will continue to do so till the 3rd... It's been pretty intense and my lack of sleep each night has been snowballing but i've enjoyed the most part - Christmas lunch with the family including Ashwin, who was so well behaved... He started tearing up when we sent him back which was absolutely heartbreaking.

It's likely this entry will be the last of 2011. So to sum up... Fucking Siong. 2nd Year in vet - passed. Just 1 more year of lectures and hardcore study. It's depressing yet relieving at the same time.

So since the exams ended, a house, car, and 2 weeks of clinical placement have been settled. In short it was pretty damn hectic after exams but we found some time for holidays just before I left for SG. David booked us a surf lesson down in Torquay, and I can now cross it off my Bucket List. And conclude that I really cannot surf. My paddling is terrible, and when I actually do catch a wave I freeze up and can't bring myself to try standing up.

Night before my flight, I drove up to Macedon and we had dinner at a restaurant in Woodend. It was such a beautiful night. David had planned to drive to Gisborne to see the Christmas lights. Some houses were just kerazy with the decorations. Now I wish I took pictures..

Came home to exchange presents. I bought him Batman : Arkham City on PC and he bought me a friggin' keyboard! With the stand and everything! Insanity! But I can't wait to try playing the piano bit for Great Gig in the Sky on it.
