i experienced my first ever dust storm in melbourne . . made all the chairs , balcony , blinds , desk , bathtub , BEDSHEETS ( that i had just changed ) completely gross and disgusting with a layer of dirt . jinners and jon , you guys completely missed out on the mess . HAHAHA .

so it's kind of a bummer when you wait excitedly for your best friend to arrive , rush home after class just to wait for her and realise she doesn't really bother to tell you she's touched down at all . there's a note on my door saying yes , she's come home and she'll see you in a bit . . but i guess that's what happens when priorities shift and you've become a flying outlier in her so-called life . no point crying over milk that has already been spilt , mopped up , spilt again and left to curdle ; such is life then . 

anyway , enough of that . i got my credit card , slippers and a fat wad of cash along with her arrival . i was happy beyond happy cause my family thought to send me some love from home ! i miss them so much and melbourne really sucks when the winds are kicking up the sand all the way to the bloody 32nd floor and moths are dying all around the house .

so the unimelb portal is down ( what's new ) and i can't access my email to see if my subjects got approved or the coordinator got back to me about an appointment .
