Freezing cold day again, but nowhere as cold as yesterday. It makes me wonder how I survived the winter last year here though... And it's only autumn. A tutor asked us in class today whether we preferred Winter or Summer. I told him I'd rather have Spring or Autumn.

Big news on in Aussie today... There was a gigantic screw up by their Defence Forces today. Apparently an Australian soldier died a few days ago in Iraq as a result of a weapon accidentally discharged, supposedly while he was cleaning his weapon. Today, his body was due back from Iraq for his funeral with full military honours. What did the dumb aussies do? They brought back the wrong body. The Australian Defence Minister refuses to apologise, claiming that he didn't do anything wrong. Somewhere in another part of the world another family is thinking, "Who the hell is this guy?". Typical aussie screw up.

Getting real, real, real stressed over the paper tomorrow. Apparently the failure rate for the mid sems last year was 80%. Incredible right? Although the paper was scaled in the end, I'm still petirifed of it.. Even though I've spent like a fair bit of time studying for it, I feel like I'm gonna get executed tomorrow.

Falling sick... Think the late nights, early mornings and cold weather is getting to me. Felt a bit feverish while studying today, and my throat also felt sore. It was a real weird feeling, being cold on the outside and hot on the inside. I hate it. Maybe I should just go see a doctor tomorrow and get an MC, then I'll solve both my problems at one go.

Going to sleep early today... I can't take it anymore...
