To go or not to go...

Today was a difficult day for me. I'm currently under a self-imposed ban preventing me from going or doing anything this wk. If u refer to my previous post, i wanna get my back better, so i'm not takin any risks, even tho i feel ok. Dan also complains of boredom. I feel your pain brother!! Such are the consequences however, and all i can say is thank goodness for foxtel digital! :) (I am not being paid by them, but i should, shouldnt I??)

Amongst all this sadness is a tinge of hope..... i bit the bullet and agreed to going to the Dental Dinner this sat nite. I um'd and ah'd about it, mainly coz of my ban, but coz it will be the graduation dinner of 2 good mates, i decided to go. So its the 1st time in a long time i get to don the appropriate attire for an evening out, but i got a feeling i wont be able to last very long :P

The dental dinner has always been a great nite to me. Being a typical uni do, we all know what to expect, but i have been going for the past 2 yrs as a graduate now, and its funny how your perspective changes. Its kinda like when u were at high school, then returning to school to say hi to past teachers. Its more so here, coz u "socialise" with your past lecturers and tutors who are now also your peers and colleagues, and in some cases, competition.

The aftermath of the dinner is also quite entertaining, as the gossip of "who got with who" or "someone spewed in the pot plants" starts around the place, even getting out onto us grads.... I wouldnt be suprised if my back becomes a topic for gossip, even though i'm a relative unknown. Hard to believe i know, but these ppl would latch onto anything for a bit of goss.....
