I think I've recovered enough now..:)

Umm..yeah..WOW :D

Some party we had!! As we suspected after the sangria
was finished and ready to enjoy, we managed to have
a real party for once in Geegal! :)
We started a bit later than planned, at around 7-8pm,
mainly because Carlos was away and he had the sangria
and stereos in his room :) I made a quick playlist
to introduce the party people to some finnish music,
mainly Lordi and "Hard Rock Hallelujah", Pate Mustajärvi
and "Ukkometso" (traditional drinking song :), and things
of that nature..quite fun to see people's reactions to
that kind of music :)

Of course things started to REALLY look up when we
carried the Sangria (yeah, suddenly I wasn't the center
of attention anymore :D) to the courtyard and opened
the tap..we added some vodka and wine to give it some
twist and in the end had 25 liters of the stuff!
All in all the evening was a success, everybody had fun,
everybody got drunk and happy, we never made it to the
King's Cross as suspected, the fire brigade came around
4.30 am to put out our sausages (Oh man, Chris went
to the door with a yellow apron, offering the firemen
some charred sausages with chili sauce :DD, the only
comment we got from the fire chief was something along
the lines "you boys are having some expensive sausages there,
400 dollars"..good thing housing pays for it :)) :D
At 6 in the morning we were still sitting outside with
Carlos and wondering what happened to our sangria that
had only the oranges and limes in the bottom..so I think
it's safe to say my birthday was a success in all aspects :D

The following days of course went by recovering and counting
our losses (there weren't that many actually), and just getting
ready for the last squeeze of the semester, final lectures and
exams..Tuesday-Thursday I attended the final lectures and got
all the pointers from the lecturers concerning the exams,
slept long and started to gather data for the exams..The only
exam I'm actually worried about is the International Business
one, as I have no idea what it might be about. I have the
questions already for the Marketing one and just can't be
too worried about the Internet Commerce as it is a multiple
choice exam and I already got 18/20 on the midsemester one..
On tuesday it was the official birthday which I spent just
taking it easy, in the evening I went to Glebe to Well Connected,
this nice café, read my book and enjoyed a massive double chocolate
milkshake :) On wednesday I started on my revisions for the exams,
went for a long walk and ended up in the Chinese Garden where I spent
a couple of hours just getting my thoughts around the marketing
questions..think I might go there again as it was a REALLY peaceful place
to study and spend some time..in the evening
we stopped by at the Loft with Carlos for a few
well-earned beers, and on thursday went to see this
Battle-Of-The-Bands event at UTS, stopped by at
Nude Bar (this hostel bar near Broadway, NOT a tittybar :)
and watched a movie in flat 3.. yesterday I studied ALL day
until evening and then had a long talk with Elisa, so basically
I've had a good week with lots of things to do and plenty of
time to just chill :)

Tonight we're probably gonna go to the Rocks with Chris and
grab some Pancakes from Pancakes on the Rocks, maybe find ourselves
some live music and just take it easy..this morning I went
to Broadway Café just nearby to do some studying for the
marketing exam and actually made some progress with the prereleased
exam questions..the café is actually really nice
and it's just nearby, they have a wireless hotspot there which
is actually pretty fast, I was able to show my parents
live feed from the Broadway with virtually no delay :)
tomorrow it's an early morning and off to
Manly to the Food and Wine Festival: A Taste of Manly event
With Chris again and friends..hopefully the weather stays good,
it's been forecasting lot of rain but today was good..
