Sooo... my mum's leaving today (6th)... (edit)

My mum took me on a driving lesson today. I decided to just drive around my suburb for an hour coz I've never driven the Audi before. I really, really need someone to teach me how to park. My brother's refused to teach me how to park and I have zilch money for driving lessons. And yet he's a prat at me saying "Get your bloody licence." Yea, love brothers eh?

So we went to the fish markets today, we got the big lobster platter, half a lobster mornay, bbq octopus, calamari, 4 king prawns and chips. Also got 1 doz. oysters, half Pacific and half Sydney Rock. Oh and also 1L freshly squeezed orange juice, mmmm... and consequently bought another 2L to take home. We had to sit in the park coz there was absolutely no room at the Fish Markets. So headed over, sat down and ate. Very, very yummy.

So came by Strath and dropped off in Dan Murphys. We got this lovely wine (currently drinking) and 2 bottles of Dogajolo 2004, some Tuscan wine, which is apparently very good with full flavoured dishes. So I'm thinking of making some puttanesca or ragu of some sort to go with it. I think I won't be bringing it to Val's day coz I wanna try it first and see. I think perhaps a bottle of sparkling wine or champers would do good for Val's Day, dontcha think?

Things to do by say Thursday:
- call Commonwealth bank to give me student privileges
- buy a 21st birthday gift for Mish (well not by Thursday)
- Dental appointment Wednesday: bring NIB card
- Enrol at uni: I keep forgetting that I have to reenrol to do Hons, coz technically I've graduated. Bring tax file # - done
- Call Wong's mum to tell her not to buy a train ticket for the 25th - done

Quite a few books on my booklist

- The Serpent and the Moon - I haven't read it yet but it's definitely after I finish Old Wives' Tales
- Charlemagnes' Tablecloth - after I finish Eve. ;)

Edit:
I enrolled today, my bro and I drove to Parra, got told that EVERYONE now enrols at Werrington campus (bastards). So we had to drive all the way out to Penrith. Finished enrolling at around 1545. Decided to get some breakfast, SOS-ed Angi for places to eat in Penrith, decided to go to Parra instead. I had stir fried beef rice noodles for breakfast at 1630 today. Currently feeling very bloated and kinda greeeeased out, ugggh... Will endeavour to eat less fatty food next time.

Today's purchases:
- Like water for chocolate - Cat has convinced me ;)
- Procedures for Nurse Practitioners - you know, bedtime reading ;)
