Today I had lunch with Luke, read a chapter of Don Quixote, and prepared a sumptuous anti-pasto platter with baby octopus, marinated mussels, sundried tomatoes, olives, salami and artichoke hearts followed by a tropical fruit platter. Mmmm baby it was good. The lady who lived in Beijing gave me a call and she said most of the girls she spoke to have funny timetables too so it will be more of a time-share situation. Anyway I'm ringing her when I go back next time. I told her about my major in Chinese studies and she said 'tai hao le!'. Man I wish I had lived in China for eight years I'd be a god. Hunter starts school tomorrow and today Kate enrolled in Visual Arts at TAFE which starts next week. I'm still excited and relieved that I got a room in the uni appartments and can't wait to go and start my new exciting life although I'll be sad to leave Tumut which has become my home so quickly. Ah life. OK it's bloody hot. I finally bought some new pyjamas for summer today they were only thirteen bucks from Target Country! Bargain!
This morning I woke up after dreaming of John laughing in the good old days when we were 16 and gloriously happy. Just him laughing the way he used to - then I woke up. I fell asleep again and dreamt that he had turned straight again, and there was this girl in his life and I was trying to win him back, saying I was better for him, that I was his first love etc. Then I woke up again and thought of all the ways of explaining what happened to a psychiatrist. 'And then um.. he said.. and I said... and it was a nightmare!'
OK good night, tonight I'll pray that I'll fall in love again one day soon. Sooner rather than later! If ever...
