friday

cripes.
I feel so stupid. I paid my uni fees online but punched in the wrong amount. I'm gonna get a second invoice telling me how I've not paid enough. I know, I saw it wrongly. Such a simple task and I get the numbers all mixed up.

After uni, went to bourke st with rosh and met up with oslr, ben, heb and shrly for badminton. we took a tram from there, but really it was the wrong one, it was going in the opposite direction. we only realised our mistake once the tram came to its last stop. it was frustrating. but then we got it right (we had to get it right) and made it to msac which took about 30 mins. played for 2 hours. the whole booking of the badminton court was so ridiculously priced, $70 for two courts for two hours. but I guess that's normal since everything in Australia is overpriced. I initially thought these things were free, silly me. but oslr insisted that he paid for the whole thing since his bday is coming up and he wanted it to be a treat from him. which was really nice but shouldnt it be the other way round. I feel bad for not paying anything.

I thought the whole idea was to promote healthy living-make things cheap and accessible. no wonder its easier to sit at home and watch tv, it doesn't cost anything. (not incl. electricity bill etc)

Kiran Desai is-brilliant. You can't help reading her sentences over and over again just because its so beautifully written.


All day, the colors had been those of dusk, mist moving like a water creature across the great flanks of mountains possessed of ocean shadows and depths.
