Week 34: Minor housekeeping to let you know i'm still around!

ok, i was told that i haven't been updating much. apologies all around but now that we're only 2 weeks from launch-off, i've been swamped by things yet-to-do which i have not done!

ok, basically, what i've been doing since coming back from melbourne is packing things up into boxes, taping boxes up and shipping them down to hobart. it cost me $411.00 to send four boxes down yesterday, total weight being about 50kgs. i didn't realise it was gonna be so expensive. i know that's like under $10/kg but STILL? i could've bought two plane tickets to hobart with that weight and still it'd have been cheaper. i feel ripped off by Australia Post. but then again, i'm not the one paying for it, the lab is..so. meh.

and from tomorrow onwards, i'll be away! i'll be in hobart till next sunday (25.10) for training. then back to sydney for another four days, and then flying back to hobart again on thursday this time for good! and maybe, there'll be a mystery stop between hobart and sydney haha sorry i can't put it down here now for security purposes.

anyway...that's it for me. shitloads of travelling. love you guys.
