I want to do this

[gemfyre]

I want to manage 9 months here just so I can say I did it. And have many tales to tell about what went on up here.

I'll have to deal with the fact that my feet are going to be perpetually grotty because I have to walk along a sandy track between my room and the showers.
I HATE all the bugs at night, especially in my room. But eventually I fall asleep and don't notice the bugs anymore. Then it's light again eventually.

It'll probably be better once Chris gets here (tonight), then I'll have company near me. And once guests start arriving I should be able to settle a bit more.
Also seriously considering getting beads sent up. Discman is being temperamental at the moment so I have no music right now. :( I'm singing instead.

If I continue to eat like I did yesterday I'm gonna lose weight up here no problem. Had the usual bowl of cereal/juice for breakfast, a nectarine for morning tea, a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch and maybe a third of a packet risotto for dinner. No microwave and dodgy cooking facilities should help.

2 new birds already this morning - Great Bowerbird and Torresian Crow.

You will get used to it. You're always telling me that you love it out there in nature, and that you can do without all the modern conveniences. you'll be fine.

Eating less is a great way of losing weight, but I hope you're eating enough to have the energy to do what you need to during the day.

*hugs*

That's my motivation for getting through college too. ^-^ Nine months isn't that long. Mine are already half over. *snuggle* Give it a few days to get acclimated.

*nods* nine months is not long at all.

Wear closed in shoes to and from the showers, if possible.

Sleep KNOWING there's bugs around me? Hell no!

have you tried sleeping with earplugs? im assuming its the noise of the bugs thats bothering you more than anything else. also mozzie nets are good if you dont have one already.

They're pretty quiet (except for the mozzies that seem to be around the kitchen/shadehouse instead of the rooms). I just can't stand them landing on me and crawling on me and possibly biting me.
