Quick update from a busy girl

7 August 2007 by kristarella

Yes, things have been busy, especially today when I have classes 9-6 with one 1 hour break. I wanted to give a quick rundown of current things.

  • We had a really long lab this afternoon and instead of making us stay back until after six they let us out just before 5! Part of the lab work was letting something soak for an hour so they did that part for us. 😀
  • Hubby is really sick today. Poor thing has the flu. I bought him soup on the way home because I thought it would be all he could eat. Sadly the soup had chilli in it, which his coughing throat wouldn’t abide (the menu said “tangy” so I decided that meant it had flavours, but not chilli).
  • It’s my mum’s birthday today. Happy Birthday Mum! Only today I discovered something totally cool that I really want to give her, but since the day is over it might have to be a Christmas present (I’m seeing her on the weekend, but it will take longer than that to get).
  • I’m currently making a pretty large, many-layered image, photo montage type thing. It’s good fun and I’m learning even more about GIMP and digital manipulation. I’ll let you know when it’s done.

‘Bout time for bed I’d say! Goodnight. :zzz:

Update: Freaky! I think the madKast code made a huge space at the bottom of my blog… have to see about fixing that.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
