Monika

Monika and I hung out yesterday and on Monday night. She was over for the Grand Prix with her dad and brother but they came earlier and left earlier. We met at her back packer's and I took her to Riverland for a pint of Bulmers and some chips. Then we went for a walk around the river and back. I had a brief chat to sissy poo on the phone. Then we caught the tram to Brunswick St and were going to meet Kirsten for dinner but she just missed us as we went into the venue she suggested. She had lost her bike chain without realising before she left her house so Monika and I ended up going to Bimbos for $4 pizzas. I've had so many of them in the last few weeks. Always the zucchini. Then we went for a wander along the street and had a look in a love bookstore. Then we parted ways for the night. Yesterday morning before all my Uni field trips, I met Monika at 830 and we went for a bit of breakfast, well danishes. Then we went to Magnation and I got a great 10 minute workout magazine from Health and Fitness. We also went to the Traveler and Souvenir shop I bought my school bag from and Monika was getting a cabin bag and uggs when I left for Uni. It was so nice having her here.

Interesting developments

So, things are changing all the time. Yesterday Marie and I went and saw this awesome house but there were so many other people there and it made us depressed. Since then, I've been down and frustrated about the whole house issue. Nothing is coming of our work. To make things more interesting and complicated, Marie has been offered a room by a friend. She's going to look into it more but she might take that and I might find something else on my own. I'll at least look into it. I just like that we're friends, that I am comfortable around her and that I have someone to fall back on. Finding a new room might be tricky because I have high standards when it comes to room mates and the house so I'm getting a bit worried and anxious. So many feelings.

I need to look for jobs. I also need to look for rooms in already established houses but it's going to be hard. Things with Marie aren't exactly happening, just because we haven't found a third person who is 100% committed to us and that because there is just too much competition out there. It might be easier to find a room elsewhere but then again finding the right one will be hard. Kirsten found a few rooms for me on her Uni site so I'll have to ask her to check that out for me again. Ahh this is annoying. I would rather go into a new house with a friend but it might not work out that way. Hmm.

Yesterday I had the volunteering at the Mission. It was so good to be back. I did more scanning and we did a search for a pretty important artefact with no luck. Apparently it was borrowed then returned but it's not around. Hmm. It's a bit suss.

Monika is coming up from Hobart on Sunday to Tuesday! We're going to hang out on Monday night and have dinner and maybe see a movie or something. Very exciting! I can't wait to have a friend here, another one that is. I've seen Amy twice this week so that's been lovely. We went to Bimbo's and I went again this afternoon for lunch. I can't wait to get back 'home' and have something to eat. I'm starving!! Better have a quick look at houses then get out of here.
