Wow August has gone and September has graced us with its promises of longer days, shorter nights and sunnier weather... well hopefully. September here is usually a mix of very windy and cold days and warm days that make it seem like winter is well and truly gone.
September also means that I'll be another year older... yay... well maybe not so yay. I think 24 is really bringing home that I am getting older and am an adult. Maybe its also because, as my boyfriend says, I have my shit together - except the still living at home part.
Maybe I should explain what else August brought me. A boyfriend. Yes, all that agonizing and bitching about online dating caused me to meet someone I seem to click very well with. We've been together just on a month now, and its really flown!
Otherwise August has just been a continuation of my usual state of being... sick. Another course of antibiotics for a inflamed throat and I've realized that I'm almost out of sick leave too. Hopefully I won't get so sick next year.
Kendo has been going great, I love it! Haven't been swimming as much as I've wanted to but now that the weather may clear up a bit more I might feel more motivated. I've also been dragged (literally) up Mt Taylor, which was a good exercise (and I made it to the top!).
Over the weekend I went and saw Bill Bailey's latest show at the Royal Theatre in Canberra. Between remixing the theme song to Downton Abby with Jamaican hip-hop, and existential heckling ("Where the bloody hell are you?"), I could hardly stop laughing! Bill Bailey Marathon - I think so!
I also got myself a car! A 2011 model Lancer SX, and I managed to pay cash! No loan - yay! I've finally managed to do all the insurance and rego stuff which cost me close to $2000 (they really make money from stamp duty and the fact I'm under 25 years old).
2 months to go until I'm off to NZ! Really have to save up the spending money now! I'm really looking forward to it.
