Well it turns out Pat has had a more exciting and painful weekend than me, he has got a dislocated knee and tonsillitis. Apparently a trailer fell on him when he was unloading it and was stuck under it for 20 minutes, he was then rushed to emergency where they performed not so life saving treatment.

(For those of you that have no medical knowledge, the Tonsillitis was not caused by the falling trailer).

I’ve spent most of today preparing for VET IT 3 & 4 exam. I’ve done three practice exams, plus some multi-choice and some reading so I’m fairly confident. Anyway my exam is tomorrow at 9am, and then my International Studies exam is on Wednesday, that one I’m a little more worried about. My aim this year is to get over 35 in both my subjects, so hopefully I can do that without to much of a problem.

Telstra launched its ADSL 2 service today without much publicity, for those of you on ADSL 1 plans (256kb-1500kb) with Telstra you will be able to either upgrade your plan for the same price each month as your current plans, or change you plan to the cheaper version of your current plan hence saving you money. For those of you that aren’t with Telstra, you will have to wait to reap the benefits of this shakeup.

Every year I bet on the Melbourne cup, and the 9 other races that are held at Flemington on cup day, and every year I lose money however this year I broke even (I actually came out $1 in front). As a VRC member I must say that Melbourne Cup day is the worst day of racing in the spring carnival, and the only good group 1 race, the cup itself is full of longshots that come out of nowhere to place. At least the winner this year (as well as the last 3 years) was deserving, with the Group 1 Japanese horse “Delta Blues” finishing in first place. Unfortunately there are only two good days at Flemington left (Oaks and Stakes) and then its a whole year until it happens all over again, however this year because Flemington is being renovated (again) there will be no race meetings held literally until next spring carnival, so I’ll be relying on my MRC (Melbourne Racing Club) which gets me into Caulfield.

Krispy Kreme has come to Chadstone, which will be a welcome addition to my favourite and closest shopping center. In other news, I am now moderating all comments left on my blog, as I had to spend ten minutes today removing comments that were inappropriate and/or critical of me. So anyway your comments will not appear straight away, however they will appear (after I have approved them of course).

School today was its usual busy yet mundane self. The highlight was at about 3:30, when the librarian approached Al Wyatt and myself and asked us whether you had recently purchased two Pentax cameras. We said no we hadn’t, however Newlands did buy a new Pentax camera not long ago. We asked why he was asking and he said that he just got off the phone from JB Hi-Fi in Chadstone and they were wondering whether Haileybury were planning on paying for the cameras we bought. Anyway we don’t know for sure whether it was Newlands, as it could quite possibly be one of the other campuses, however Castlefield bought a camera in January and Edrington bought one last year, so anyway it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

Also I’m up to 8 coffees, so I only need to buy one more and I get one free, YAY!!!. I can see myself spending all my money on Cappucino’s. Also a quick message to Luke, I got absolutely nothing done after you left!!!
