Culburra was really great! My aunt got married in my grandmother's backyard, and it was such a beautiful, casual ceremony. She and her partner had been together for a few years already, and both of them have children from previous relationships, so now they are one big happy family. It was really great to see my family and meet some new relatives. We had the reception at the Surf Life Saving Club that overlooked the beach, and I was bombarded with childhood memories of being on the nippers team and winning relay races. I was really happy to see familiar faces and sights, and it was great to share it with my fiancé. He remarked that it was a really beautiful town, and as I looked out over the crash of the waves on the beach I realised that there are only a few places that make you feel like home, and Culburra is one of them. I haven't lived there since I was twelve, but I still consider it as my hometown. I guess if a hometown is a place where you know every street and every secret pathway and every grain of sand on the beach, then Culburra must be mine!
We ended up driving down to Culburra with my family and Daniel, Izzy, and I flew back. It was Izzy's first time on a plane, and she was surprisingly calm! She loved it, and didn't even cry. Her ears popped a few times, but she just kept laughing and smiling and looking out the window. Daniel was a little nervous on the plane, but I loved it. I love planes. I wanted to be a pilot when I was younger, bit unfortunately Epilepsy prohibits that :/ Oh well!
I'm happy to be home, but that means I'll be back at uni soon! I'm on my mid-semester break, but my exams are coming up and I need to start studying. Luckily I am ahead with my assessment, but I have to admit that I'm behind with my News and Politics readings. I guess I'm so busy with other things now, like with Search Factory and mothering duties haha But that doesn't excuse falling behind. I've passed one subject already, and I am sure I will pass Negotiation (maybe), but I'm a little worried about my News and Politics and my Accounting exam. Accounting isn't that hard, it's just tedious, and I tend to fail tedious subjects. I wish there was an exam on children's television. I'd ace that for sure! I know everything about every show. It's funny how you memorise crap, but forget the things you need to learn.
My diet isn't going too well. I haven't strayed from it too much - I eat a lot of sandwiches! - but we haven't gone shopping lately, so I tend to snack on crap and leftovers, and the road trip to Sydney didn't provide the healthiest foods. I think I have to write up a diet and put it on the fridge. My next PT sesison is on Monday, and I am afraid she'll weigh me and I'll have gained weight. I really want to get to 60 kilo's, but I can't seem to shed the baby weight. Time to become a gladiator, methinks. I need to stop eating chocolate, because it actually makes me physically sick. I think I just convince myself it's good for me because it tastes so good!
