I just went to the gym, my first long workout in many months. I went a bit too hard with the weights but I'm thankful for it. Most of the time when I'm starting to feel fatigued I just give up and move on but instead I pushed myself and now my body is feeling all weird and tingley - I haven't felt this good in a long time.

Work's still a cunt, I'm really hating the whole rotating roster bullshit, it's fucking up my sleeping patters big time. I had to be in class at 9am today but 'cause I've been finishing at around 11pm I can never get to sleep until about 2am, which results in me not waking up until 10-11am. Class is going good overall, got a couple of assignments to do, one group assignment (network design) and one for a workplace training subject. I also have a test for the training subject on Wednesday, so I have to study a bit for that. It's all about adult learning principles & appropriate teaching methods. I've taken a liking to the workplace training subjects 'cause they give me an inkling of what I'll be gnawing my way through for the next four (I hope!) years.

Going up to see my brother in the morning, then I'll head down to the gym again just for some cardio then I'm off to that thing in the evening.

I went to a party at a mate's place last weekend, fuck those guys are excellent. A guy I used to work with. He's fucking awesome, like a brother to me. His fiancee is one of the most kind, intelligent & generous people I know, and his two other housemates are equally awesome. It's groups of people like this that make me stand back and think "fuck, the earth joint is kinda alright". I think I'm reallt fortunate to know so many really amazing people, from all you mob down Melbourne way to my fam in Sydney to my own blood (though some of them kinda suck).

I'm in a really good mood, gotta cherish this brief & rare moment in time. I think I'll go shoot some yanks in Battlefield 2.
