Well, so far it's been an interesting week. Last night I went to the 21st party of a great mate of mine, and well I guess this is the first 21st party for people who were in my year at school, and hence roughly my age.
As a shit of a kid I always used to say that everything is growing until you hit the age of 21 and then it's the slow decline into old age from there on. I know age is just a number and I was just being facetious at the time, and it's not like I really care, I'm having a great time at the moment. I guess this just heralds another stage of life, one that will be marked with quite a few chances to celebrate into early hours of the morning and tell as many stories to embarrass as many people as possible.
Something to look forward to me thinks.
Emma's 21st was great fun, were a whole bunch of people there I haven't seen in ages, some not since school finished all those years ago. Was also a chance to break out a bottle of Zubrowka, a Polish vodka I bought back with me that tastes fantastic, especially with apple juice as a chaser. It was a lot harsher on the palate than I remember, but it was warm and with no chaser, so perhaps that was the reason, or maybe I've just gone soft since I was in Poland.
To go in reverse chronological order, I was out very briefly on Wednesday night and met this random as hell guy on the bus on the way home. He just started talking to me about everything at the bus stop. At first it was really quite awkward because he was asking lots of questions about different things. I found myself increasingly amused by the randomness of this guy so I thought it was pretty humourous as I was about to get off the bus I was given this little booklet of humourous little comics about life (read Bible verses). I guess it just shows there is always a catch to random friendliness on the bus.
This post is long but I don't particularly care. The other cool thing that happened this week was a presentation on the Poland PEACE Project I did for the UQ UNSA (United Nations Student Association). Well I was part of a panel more accurately, but that is of little consequence. The people who were on the panel were from organisations such as AusAID, UNHCR, the Rotary Peace Fellowships and more. They were really interesting and had done some really cool stuff that made me jealous. Through the whole process I got to meet a bunch of cool new people from the guys who organised it through to my fellow panellists.
I love talking shit about my time in Poland, it was a great opportunity to promote AIESEC as well, although I do miss all the other guys who were in Poland and made the experience as special as it could have been.
To round out the week, I have started swimming again a few evenings a week (well I have done it once so far) as a way of doing something a bit more active. Plus it should be helpful with the coaching I do on Wednesdays.
Stay true, Dan out...
