Whooshing past Winter Swoop
July 6, 2007Today can be summarised in one word: long.
Or rather, ‘tiring’.
Got off the plane at 7+am, which was behind schedule, and was stuck in baggage reclaim until almost 8, which was… definitely not good!
Took a taxi back to SEF since I couldn’t afford to wait for the next bus (obviously I missed the 7:30 Dandenong) and arrived a few minutes past 9am at my doorstep. This made it… how many minutes until I had to report in for duty?
Dashed for a shower, said hi to Amanda and passed her a packet of muruku, threw a few things into my overnight bag (I’d been planning to overnight at Aunty Soo’s place to catch up with the cousins), and then rushed down to the Welcome Centre to help out with Serene’s Winter Swoop program. Made it with barely minutes to spare x.x
Was paired up with Terence for the on-campus games… what went on next? A quiz, I think, and then some off-campus activities that I was thankfully spared from. The rest of the day passed by in a kind of daze… between resting and worrying, I found out that the relatives would largely not be in until late… so after consultation with varied parties I opted to hitch a ride to Doncaster with Serene, plans which then morphed into me hurriedly packing for the NLC stay as we waited for her dad to arrive at my flats.
Thus in the end I stayed over at Serene’s with the promise that I would drop by Aunty Soo’s place first thing the next morning (it was too late at night for them to come pick me up by then).
Talk about hectic.
Yawn….
