I'm sitting on a vaguely uncomfortable vent waiting for my delayed flight at the airport. Hot air is blasting my butt right now and I'm beginning to regret the decision to wear tights. Surprise, surprise, I'm also thinking about things. I've had song lyrics and poems coming out of my ears these past few days.… Continue reading P-P-Politics and Ponderings
Colours
This site has recently been morphing into bimonthly brain dump, but I'm letting it evolve into whatever it wants to be. Little old me has been doing some thoughtful healing/processing/living in the last few months. It's a weird time when you realise the year is over two thirds through and you look back at your… Continue reading Colours
Bruised Egos
I'd like to interrupt my blogging hiatus once again. It has taken me a while to figure out how to do it. It has been less about writer's block and more about how much information is too much information - but I think I can trust myself to be reasonable in how I exhibit my… Continue reading Bruised Egos
Snooty Realtors, Futsal Wins and oh yeah, Assignments
The term is coming to an end, and so much has been squeezed into these last few weeks! First of all, somewhat dramatically, one of the previous owners of our hall has sold their share for the property, which has meant that we've had snooty real estate agents giving tours of our home while we're… Continue reading Snooty Realtors, Futsal Wins and oh yeah, Assignments
1/4 Down Already?!
I think I'm falling in love with the South Island. The image above is from outside my bus window in Hamner Springs, which is where I started writing this particular blog. I had time to kill and the site has been looking a little dry lately. Update: the trip was brilliant! Would recommend. Plus the view over… Continue reading 1/4 Down Already?!
Zucchini and Bagpipes in the Park
Yesterday has to have been one of the cutest little days ever. I visited Anne*, an elderly woman who I stayed with when I was visiting the university campus last year. She's pretty fantastic, and unlike me, she still has all her marbles and then some. I came for a cuppa and to pick up my… Continue reading Zucchini and Bagpipes in the Park
Losing My Marbles: Mardi Gras
This week has seen me start lectures, sing along to The Lion King, obtain yet more free things (spaghetti, banana smoothies, shoes, bread), join too many clubs, do regular laundry (important !), turn my white singlet pink, lose my card twice, and lose my keys once. But let me start with Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras: an O'… Continue reading Losing My Marbles: Mardi Gras
Starting Uni
What happens when you mix 74 first years, a reconverted retirement home, and an ever-increasing student loan? A whole lot of weirdness, but I'm loving every second. Oh my, it has been a while. It's my first post of 2017 so a belated Happy New Year to you, fine reader. This week I moved into… Continue reading Starting Uni
December, Decisions and Doing Dumb Things
It's chaotic. The time of year where time miraculously jumps into 6th gear and you wonder how you ended up in December already. At least that's how I feel.. This post has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas: I just needed an image. I am a person who is often either planning ahead or reflecting… Continue reading December, Decisions and Doing Dumb Things
Procrastination: My ZineFest Fail
I did a most absolutely uncharacteristically Abby thing today: I left it until the last minute. Anyone who knows me knows that I am never that I'll-do-it-later person, whose deadlines creep up until they're on the floor hyperventilating due to the very real threat of a failed assessment, angry parent, or disappointed friend. I know… Continue reading Procrastination: My ZineFest Fail
