Summer is such a double edged sword. I love it because I feel like the day never ends, but the day NEVER ends! It's now 7.22pm and it looks like its 4pm. If you check my twitter, I said the sky looked like it was 4pm an hour ago. That just goes to show that an hour has passed in real time, and the sun has barely moved.
Exam period is my frequent blogging season I think. Must be because I'm cooped up at home that my mind wanders between work and random thoughts. Today I was thinking about all my road trips in my 3 years here. I've been to Grampians, Great Ocean Road, Warrambool, Werribee Zoo, Dandenongs, Yarra Valley, Wilson Prom, Skiing at Falls Creek, and Gold Coast. Other than the time to the zoo, I've rented a car to drive to all these places. With all that money, plus the money I've gotten from tuition I could have bought a second hand car!
I guess its just one of those things where you think its always cheaper to rent, and when you sit down and do the calculations at the end of the day you realise that you could have bought a car and enjoyed life more than you did. But that's life, we always need the benefit of hindsight to see these things.
Off to more study now.
