Weddings, studying and black holes

7 weeks until the end of the semester and finals, then i finish my B.Tech degree!

Getting thru the next 7 weeks will be a challenge however. Tests, assignments and finals over this period is going to be rough.

The wedding 2 Saturdays back was great. Seeing two special people tie the knot and dedicating their lives to each other is always a momentous occasion. Congratz T & Ann!
I did manage to catch the garter with some help from a couple of eager mates wanting to thrust me into the spotlight! Thanks T for throwing it right into my hands! What do I do with it though? Is it meant to bring me luck :p

During the wedding weekend, I got to see lots of friends and family from out of town, so that was very cool too :) Unfortunately it had to all be compressed into 1 weekend :( By the time Monday morning rolled around I was seriously sleep deprived! I was a walking zombie that day..

I've moved all of the essentials and most comforts over to my new place in Parklands, but still have many things to sort out as well as traffic from that side of the world to contend with. Will have to see how it goes because I am finding that I cannot afford to spend so much time in traffic because that means I have even less time to study and do assignments. I don't think I've managed to do any actual work over the last month :(

With the new place there are still snags that the developer has to sort out, as well as certain bathroom fixtures that we need to buy. It seems a house is black hole for time and money!

Speaking of black holes, there was a very interesting documentary on Carte Blanche last Sunday regarding Stephen Hawking's new calculations regarding Black Hole Information Loss and the implications of it.

But wait, I digress... the next 3 weeks are going to tough for sure, nevermind the presence of black holes and their implications... I might very well need to ask for leave to study and do my assignments.

our blogs seem to be black holes for comments, either nobodys reading them or nobodys leaving comments. anyways.

you need to wear the garter for it to bring any luck, so choose a special day when you need some extra luck.

also saw hawkings documentary. i'm amazed by him, how his damaged body contains this amazing brain.
