OK just a couple of things.
1) Readership these past 2 months has exceeded 100 hits per month, which I'm quite happy with, It spurs me on to do more.
2) I am super happy that i joined SUUFA aka the Sydney University Ultimate Frisbee Association, because I have been itching to play ultimate Frisbee since year 11 (2006 people)
3)Work is good but as my luck would have it i did something silly.
4)I'm going ANTI-GYM, the meaning of this? Simple i shall now take my physical training to the streets and parks, instead of the gym.
P.S. Photos Pending...
NOW FOR THE ELABORATION!
1) you may have noticed at the bottom a small hit counter and "buy ink jet cartridges" or something along those lines. If you are not from Britain that little sponsor add has nothing to do with you so ignore. Anyway i set it up in January as Blogger.com has no real hit management system in place for its blogs and bloggers.
My reports indicate that in January i had 126 hits and in February 116.
I am quite impressed with these figures as i never expected my blog to get this much attention. Either way i shall continue to bring you tidbits of my life, with a minimal amount of bitchiness that most other blogs seem to be teeming with, simply for the love of my readers.
Thank you for helping me reach over the 200 mark, now aiming for 1000 before June.
2) On Thursday i happened by the president of SUUFA, Brett, and one of my primary school classmates turned BSc compatriots, Christine, whilst milling around Manning Forecourt looking for something to do during O-week. This one event was the trigger for an entire night of partying which was super fun. We went upstairs to Manning Bar and stayed there whilst socialising for a couple of hours before being forcibly made to change locations because the bar was closing (I think it was for some gig of some kind). Anyway, after that, Brett, Bruce, Louie, Big Tom, Scott, Emily, Nat, Sarah, Emma, Ali B, Bailey, Myself and a few others who's names escape me at this point in time (it is 0250 of march 1) moved to the Marly Bar on King in Newtown, where we played pool and Emily (fellow SUUFA rookie at the first SUUFA social for the year [yeah i forgot to mention it was officially a SUUFA social]) made her big splash into SUUFA by sinking the winning shot using Frisbee rules (staring down your opponents as you take the winning shot) not once but 3 TIMES! After that we went to happy hour at Kuletos, a cocktail bar just down the road from Marly, for 2 for 1 Happy hour. Personally I didn't drink, but I did end up buying a punnet of strawberries to eat (they were good, i wish there was a strawberry appreciation society or something like that... I mean they have the Chocolate Society, why not its healthier but also as popular flavouring and treat strawberries... note to self, investigate matter further) while many of the SUUFA members were working out what to call me (nickname wise), I told them my rule (you can call me what you want so long as i agree to it) and they decided on Cheswick (this nickname is the handy work of one Mr Sean who is currently in America, props to you Sean it managed to catch on), or Charlie.
Much more drinking happened before Happy Hour ended, I insisted that the others get some food into them lest they wished to be out before midnight, which resulted in a trip to Istanbul the kebab restaurant just next door to Kuletos (yeah when Ali told me that we were going to Istanbul i thought we were actually going to the country, silly me huh) before hopping on the bus to head out to BarBroadway, SUUFA's sponsor, for more drinks and more pool. On the way to BarBroadway Brett, Bailey and myself got off in front of the Seymour Centre walked to and dropped our bags at Bailey's whilst also picking up Bailey's roomie Adam. When we arrived in BarBroadway the beer and pool continued from the Marly. After BarBroadway we went to Side bar, which Adam eloquently described to me as a backpacker slut bar, to be honest I think you'd only see it that way if you were actually "on the market", there we danced the night away. Emily, who i should mention left us to go watch a concert by a canadian band which i have heard of but the name escapes my consciousness at the moment, met up with us at the sidebar and we further danced before leaving at 2 (not before making Adam say "this is the last song" 4 times before actually leaving). Walked back to Bailey and Adams flat, i got my bag, Emily and Brett crashed and I went home via night ride.
Had a very fun night. So looking forward to next Thursday where i actually get to play some Frisbee!
3) ahh today at work, it said i had to detail clean the shelves under and around the eftpos area. Now I've done this job before but today i put a little too much effort into it. around about 8pm i decided to finish off the job. I was cleaning around the till and its computers when i accidentally pulled out a plug from the back of what would appear to be a hard drive. I heard a beep with strong attack and gradual decay (that's musicology for strong at first and feeble at the end) and as I looked up to see it the till was OK, my mind dropped into slow-mo as i saw the black screen and in my head i just heard "ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooo.................". Also as my luck would have it, it was the start of a rush... a big rush. 8 people queued up in front of the till, and not till to process orders. It was bad... We had to go back to old fashioned pen, paper, carbon paper and calculator to run orders. We survived but boy was it hectic. Also i didn't end up finishing my cleaning job... i guess I'll come in early tomorrow and finish it off.
4) I have cancelled my membership with the Gym fitness corporation Fitness First, primarily because I'm a pov Uni student now and can no longer afford the expense of getting fit in an air conditioned well equipt facility. That said, starting Monday or Tuesday I'm taking my fitness to the streets and parks, in the early morning and am going to use the resources i have available to me, aka what ever i find that might assist in working out, and start getting fitter! The reason being? Aside from wanting to look better, is that I made it a new years resolution and i plan to at least keep several of these annual things before i kick the bucket in about 7 tenths of a century (give or take a few years to a decade).
So yeah that's Chuck Daily news to the date.
Thanks for reading this majorly epic post and I'll catch you all sooner or later
