This week suddenly seemed to take off..although this block in general feels a lot slower than the last 8 weeks was..not sure why either..maybe I'm just looking forward to going home more this time around, or perhaps I've got more on my mind.

Finally got around to doing my interview for my communications assignment this week:) went to Prince of Wales Hospital on thurs and friday to talk to this really nice lady who agreed to let me interview her:) Felt kind of bad taking up her time especially since she didn't look like she was feeling too well yesterday afternoon after her dialysis..but she was so sweet about it..thanking ME for talking to her and wishing me luck on my assignment..I really admire the courage and determination of the human race at times. She's had diabetes for 15 years now, and only recently found out she had renal/kidney failure..but she sounded so strong and optimistic, seeing it as just another challenge in life. I wish I were that emotionally strong at times..I gave her a nice little sunflower in thanks:)

So my interview's down but I've still gotta start on the actual writing of the report..sigh. Anyway, the biggest news at college this weekend: anna got ENGAGED. Gosh she's younger than me. I suppose engagements can go on for pretty long but I wouldn't be surprised if they'er the planning the wedding as I speak now. She's only known Jon for 6 months!and he proposed to her on the sydney harbour bridge at sunset yesterday. In mine and Ling's words, "That's so romantically cliched." I definitely wouldn't be ready to marry someone I'd known for 6 months.. How are you ever really sure? I guess everybody has different opinions. Some people can breakup and get together so easily; for others it takes a lot longer and it means a lot more to them. Not to say that anna's relationship with Jon is superficial or anything. I think she really must have been pretty sure to have agreed..she's really smart and nice. I just wonder how it must feel like to be so sure.

Coincidentally, bible study this week was on issues of marriage, love and sex. Haha probably not conincidentally. God knows what's on my mind:) anyway gotta go mug now!happy weekend people:)
