The fingerprints of koala bears are so indistinguishable from humans that they could be confused at a crime scene

So I had a great weekend! I went skiing on Saturday, at Mt Olympus and it was brilliant! I decided after my seminar last week and big assignments that I needed a break before starting studying for my exams and doing my last assignment this week. On Friday night I mentioned I was going skiing with Matthew and Ron made some envious noises so I invited him along too and he actually came - I wasn't sure if he would or not. Anyway it was kind of a random day cos it was the end of season party and club races and stuff, so there were people in all kinds of retro gear, and suits, and dresses, all skiing round. The snow was beautiful spring stuff on the Back Run and Parson's Dollar, but icy yucky stuff elsewhere - so if you skied in the right places it was great. So sunny and beautiful, good catching up with a few people too.

Saturday night it was Amy's birthday party which I attended rather late by the time we finally managed to get home from skiing (had to go via Alice's home, where we waited for a while cos she'd left her car-keys up the mountain - we were supposed to be dropping her off at her car down the road but that didn't work for obvious reasons. but we got to see her puppies, and some of her 21st video with Matt filmed pulling the moves on Brit - funny!) but it was fun anyway.

Sunday I tried to get up at 9am (stupid daylight saving, cost me an hour! makes it so much harder) but managed to at 10.30. I then went to visit Big Nana and Pop, and had a delicious lunch (as you do at your grandparent's) and then attempted to study for tomorrow's exam, except every time I tried I ended up falling asleep. Had choir last night and that was *terrible* - the sopranos sang one note for one beat too long, and then the altos got out of time too cos they were waiting for us, and the whole thing fell apart, and what do I do? Have a guess. Yes, that's right, keeping true to form, it gets to the most inappropriate moment and Lara starts to laugh. And she can't stop. And then Jenna starts. so any time Lara almost has it under control she hears Jenna and starts again. Lara is almost biting through her bottom lip to cause herself enough pain to stop, but still can't... Finally regains control. then a later piece, the intro is being played in E minor and there's this random E-flat note being played under the whole piece. Even when the intro is stopped the Eflat is still booming on. Then we have to start on an E. and Lara is laughing again....After this piece, Lara and Sarah come in during the introduction for the next piece... you won't be surprised that this sets Lara off again...

After the service Lara apologises to the choir. She is then yelled at by the conductor - "For goodness sake, you're not a school-girl!" - well, no, technically not... but I've always had this laughing problem... So she then bursts into tears (nervous tension?) ... and then gets over it. I mean, it was funny at the time obviously, and it happened anyway, so may as well laugh about it now too ;)

Then Jenna and I went to Lisa's and watched Chicago and ate lemon pie for dessert. Yum. Weird movie. Would have been better if any of the main characters (apart from the husband) were actually nice at all so you cared about the outcome of anything. Like both of the girls were a) bitchy b) murderesses and c) stupid - well- only one of them was really, but still.

Then I went grocery shopping, and then to bed cos I was exhausted. I am still tired, and I have a headache. However, i'll feel great real soon. Cos I have a full-on day today - I have to see my lecturer about my tute and do some study between now and 11.30, and then I'm doing a psych expt, then attending russian for the first time in maybe 3 weeks, and then it's tute time. Which I am super not looking forward to - just can't be bothered today. Then it will be 3pm and I'll do maybe an hour of study, and then I'm visiting Megan, and going to Thai boxing, having tea, and studying all evening. Cool. So I should stop procrastinating now and actually get on and do some study now then!
