1am. Can't sleep. Been home 15 minutes. Put antiflamme on. Feet have never been this sore. Had 5 energy drinks today. Get to do it all again tomorrow. Will earn lots of money, plus a bonus. But so much pain... Shopping on Sunday. Spend money. Need to earn more money. Feet hurting. Saw a ghost hedgehog. No shit. And someone bended my windscreen wipers and I couldn't get them back down and I needed to use them and I almost cried because it had been such a long night and that was just the cherry on top.

FMFL.

I don't even like South Park. But I'm watching my fourth episode in a row.


If Tom were a tool, which tool would he be?



What was meant to be a cute couple photo but got invaded... :P



I finally unpacked Darth Tater & Spud Trooper, because I couldn't resist any more....



Freddos? Yes. And Freddo tattoos....



Chocolate mousse initiation....

Yes, I am watching Notting Hill.

Dyed my hair last night, and failed. Meant to be lighter, and went darker. Unimpressed. So I'm going to baking soda my hair a few times and hope that works...If not I bought another hair dye as backup. But I don't want to dye it twice in 24 hours if I can help it. Oh, and when I say it's darker, it's not a nice shade of darker, it's grey-brown/dark blonde. Unimpressed.

Just finishing up my assignment. It's so cold here today. Couldn't be bothered doing anything even if I didn't have an assignment due.

Just over 24 hours til Tom comes :D

Hahahaha. God I <3 Julia Roberts.

Well, back to the essay. I've hardly updated since I got back to Taupo. Nothing interesting is happening.

GOod news, I start work full time tomorrow! AND I GET SUNDAYS AND MONDAYS OFF, JUST LIKE A HOPED BUT DIDNT THINK WOULD HAPPEN! I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED!!! Leanne kinda said the other day that Tracey wanted to swap her days off but she's not allowed (in my eyes), there's no way she's having my days off now! SO awesome cos now I can go out on Saturdays and not have to go to work the next morning, which is AWESOME, and I can go visit Tom on a weekend :D MIght plan that for not this weekend but next weekend... No! Wait! If Dad does the clutch on the Corolla on Sat I might try go on SUnday :D Excite!

So, meant to be starting my 2,500 word essay since I start work tomorrow... Need to get about 1000 words done today. But don't want to start, Taupo & MTV are sapping me of my motivation!!!

I am home...
Sunny, warm. Family, Tom. I'm glad to be home.... right?

FINALLY painted my nails. They've been so scummy for like a week. Gross.
Hanging out with Nana today, going to see Uncle Chris and Aunty Raelene (Aunty from Aus), Tom's gone to Ham for his job interview.

Quiz night tonight :) Should be fun.

Had an awesome time with Teryl & Laura for 3 days :) Drank too much, because accustomed to red wine, spilt some on the carpet, the usual... "I'm drinking through it!" "..... don't even say that, you don't even have a mouthful left"

Had my last exam, almost hyperventilated before it, freaking out, but wasn't even that bad. Left early, bought booze, started drinking, ate LOTS of chips.... Kirsty came over, witnessed the consumption of CC making everyone feel sexy... Went to Matt & Shinji's 21st, was awesome to catch up with Steddy, everything else was kinda meh. Or should I say everyONE else was kinda meh? Don't like Zac, knowing what I know now, but was having fun conversing with Brad. Left at about 1/1.30, was so cold up on that deck, snuck Laura into Stafford, again, but Tom just walked in front doors. Thing Jeff's given up caring? 

Stayed in bed all of yesterday except to go get lunch and get DVDs- watched Across the Universe & I am Sam.  I am Sam is so intense, and SO sad! Loved it! mass Beatles references, which was funny since we'd just watched Across the Universe....

Have Ibus208 2pm-3pm this afternoon. ooohh bought the CUTEST pair of shoes this morning, for work/partying, were on sale (So Mum please don't be mad! :P ). Sitting at lib now considering reading the stuff for class. 60 pages!?

Oh, got my new phone, loving it, think I'm actually in love! Ha. Sad. But happy......

Better go. Reading to do.

I want to go to BDO! Tempted to just buy tickets and TELL my employers I'm going instead of asking, it seems to be what everyone else I work with does.....

Only 1 exam to go, Teryl comes tomorrow, meeting Kirsty for Burger Fuel at lunch-time, life is good! If only the weather were better :(

Loving Anton Yelchin from Star Trek :)

Tomorrow is Guy Fawks....
It's actually only 6 days til my exam, 4 days til my final shift at work, and 21 days (ish) until I move home. It's been 32 days since I met Tom and 21 since we got together. It's 51 days until Christmas, so only 26 until Summer officially begins, and 57 until New Years. 10 days until my final exam, 12 until I start summer school and 17 until my final lecture EVER (theoretically). 20 until my final exam EVER and 1 month tomorrow when my final assignment EVER is due...
That's alot of numbers- and still no desire to study! I have work in an hour and a half, but I'm going earlier to get a bagel because I'm STARVING and I need to do groceries this afternoon. And pay my bills... Then tonight I'm staying at Tom's because apparently there's going to be too many Germans in my apartment and they need my bed, hence why I'm so organised and my sheets are in the wash right now. Actually I should go hang them out....

I think I have officially reached my lifetime capacity of Mi Goreng noodles. FML.

Got my result back last night for the assignment I was doing when my computer crashed, I got an A! I was SO freakinge excited! So I got a B+ and 2 As for those 3 assignments that were stressing me out for a fortnight, and I feel like I'd be better off if I'd put in that much effort right through my uni life... But at the same time, I'd rather have shit results for 100 level papers and better results for 300 level papers, it just looks so much better than the other way around!
So yeah, I'm pretty stoked. Wish I could say the same about my exam yesterday... I wrote 3000 words in 3 hours, which is INSANE. And it didn't go so well. It was so vague, and argh. I hope I pass. Everyone else thinks it went shit too.

Gotta do groceries today, finally. Gonna have a shower then wander to New World. Then go and study at the Lib with Amie.
Ohhh, saw Couples Retreat last night, it was good :) I likey. Went with nic as a wind down after our exams.

Brendan comes back tonight! Woo. This place sucks without him.

Was going to say something else..... :S
So, 2 weeks until my next exam. Another open book exam, where I'll have to write a marketing plan for the Adam Art Gallery. Definately gotta go pick up my assignment before this exam, will come in handy. Lucky I picked up my Mark311 assignment before the 311 exam yesterday. Almost forgot to. The lecturer marked mine instead of the tutor, which was weird, and he wrote some really nice comments, I'm so proud of that assignment! Usually I don't even read the comments on an assignment cos it makes me sad, but since I'm doing so well it's nice to read what they wrote. I think these are the first assignments ever that I've been proud of, I think in first year you take good grades for granted. That and first years generally so easy anyway.

Wow. It's hot here today. Sunny outside, perfect day to go for a wander. Might do that for some exercise and some quiet time, wander t the waterfront. Cooking Amie dinner tonight after our all day study session :)

Am a little bit sick of my fat thighs causing holes in my jeans... Well, that's what my dad said the cause was. And Bex and I kinda agreed last night that it's the problem. I mean, there's people with WAY bigger thighs than me, but apparently jeans just hate my legs. I've had these jeans for 2 1/2 years and a hole started to appear, so I've patched them from the inside (because I'm a tightass and because they're the most comfortable, unique jeans I own) so hopefully they last a bit longer. Fingers crossed.

First night sleeping alone since Thursday... Not looking forward to it. I'm such a wimp.

First exam tomorrow afternoon, mark311, Strategic marketing management or something or other... Have eaten WAY too much today and feeling kinda blargh, and left my water bottle at Amie's. :( Sad face.
Amie has a mutant rat in her kitchen! Muahahaha. And it just eats the rat poison then keeps on living, mutant-hulk-rat. Eventually we're gonna need a tranquiliser gun and a chainsaw to kill that bad boy.


Looking forward to Bex' exhibition! But what to dress as?

2 1/2 hours til I leave. It can't come fast enough... I want sushi......
Mum found a lighter in my bag and interrogated me about it. I'm 20, and have every right to smoke if I wanted to. THey smoked for 25 years and are hardly in the position to judge me. But no, I don't smoke, do they honestly think I'm that stupid!? FUck. She obviously doesn't know me at all.

Wax fail this morning. Haha. Amber you're right, wax strips suck.

Meant to be going out tonight.... but it's raining, and I'm tired (Stayed at Amies last night, so slept amazingly but didn't go to bed til like 1 or something) but it's Hayley's birthday and it's a cocktail party and I get to dress up all pretty, butttt I'll probably get wet getting to McKenzies... And my hair will go yuk, and I can't afford alcohol.. Well I have money, but don't wanna spend it on alcohol? Argh. I dunno.
Wasabi is groossss. I hate Sushi places where they put it in there and it gets all over your sushi, I swear they're trying to kill me.

Hmm. So I should have a shower and man up for tonight. / Try curling my hair. Or SOMETHING. Argh.

Mmm I have chocolate in my bag. Good call.

Hogging Brendan's computer while he's out... His screen is really weird though, everything's really big and it's giving me a headache....

Have class soon, so just a quick update- KIRSTY! I have sent you numerous texts in the last week and no reply... Including this morning. Hope you're still alive!

Having our flat party tonight, should be fun :) Wanted something new and awesome to wear but not going to happen I don't think. Oh noooo it's raining outside! Rats. Screw it all -_-

Need to get some wine from the supermarket after class and I'm good to go.

Am sleeping on my mattress on my floor, cos that's where I put it for Amie to stay, and I decided I quite like sleeping on the floor.. So I left it there... But I guess is we're having people over I should probably move it back onto my base :(

Don't really have anything to say.. Going home on Monday for a week, kinda wish I wasn't now. I'm so calm, no more assignments to do, just impending doom ni the form of study.

I feel like yesterday was one of the longest days of my life.....
Up at 7.30, work at 8.30. Frustrating shift, but not too torturous.. Finished at 2, bolted home, got changed, grabbed my stuff and Nic picked me up to go to Pip to work on our Mark310 (due today, at 4pm).

Computer turned on, yada yada, turned off, repeat previous two steps about 4 times, and then it just wouldn't turn on. ANd I was like "Oh no, it's finally done it", and I'd been expecting it so it didn't come as too much of a shock, not like last time (In January or something). So I was like Ohh I'll just get it off my USB. But alas- the last time I saved to my USB I was at 400 words, and I was up to 1500 when my comp packed it in....
Rung mum, couldn't cry, texted a few people, and Tom (Amie's flatmate Tom) came and met me and took my harddrive out and tried fitting it into a case, but it didn't fit so he told me to go to DSE and get one, and then use it like any other external. So i went and did some of my assignment, Nic told me not to bother doing what I'd already done incase it could be recovered, and i looked at her like she was mad but started on a new part anyway, then she left and dropped me at DSE at 4.50 but they closed at 4.30 :( Dammnit.

So I wandered home, had a panick, but still no tears, and Richard said Rick up to have a look, and he said he could do something if I found someone willing to donate their laptop to put my harddrive in... THen Amie turned up. So I grovelled a bit, told her Rick had done this before and we explained it was just like putting my brain into her body, but easier. So Rick did that, it took 45 mins cos my harddrive is slightly damaged from all the times it didn't shut down properly (like, just turning itself off), and Vista created a problem too... But he did it, and recovered my assignment! THen put Amie's computer back together (Which I'm using now... while she's asleep....)
So I put my old assignment together with what I did yesterday, and I've done 2000 words, so now just another 1000 then to piece it together with my appendices etc, and it's all done! In the next 7.5 hours... With 2 hours of class in there somewhere. Awesome. Wish me luck!!

I’m going on a datteeeee!!!!

 

Haven’t been this happy in AGES. SO long… Over a year? Easily.

Just printed my 2000 word Ibus assignment, handing it in in 40 mins, then just my 3000 word Arrts Marketing assignment to go and that's it til exams! Stoked!
Sitting in the lib with nicola, she'd only done 500/2000 words at 9am, cos she went out to drink last night. Ha. But she'll get it done and prob still pass too. ibus is good like that...
Stayed at amies last night- Watched Outrageous Fortune again, had a bitch and moan about the ending, finished my assignment, wrote in my journal, had dinner, then Tom got home and we decided to go get some drinks, Liqour land was closed (It wasn't even 9pm!) so we went to the Mill, bought some alcohol, I had a sulk because there's gluten in Whisky and I recently became a huge fan of Wild Goose and CC :( Got Smirnoff black, foul, and only had one before I started to get tired, but then ended up staying up til 2 watching crap tv with Amie, Tom & Beth... Went to bed, was tired but couldn't sleep, even after my Unisom.. So got to sleep at about 3, woke up at 7.45 because Amie & Tom were going swimming. He was meant to wake her up at 7.28 but he's slack, and probably was scared I'd throw stuff at him if he woke me up too early. Haha. But why do they even bother listening to my opinion, I don't even live there! So yeah, went home when they went swimming and now here I am, in the lib....
After we do our group bit for Arts I'm going home to nap while Amie does her washing, yada yada, clean my room maybe? Actually make my bed... Still no duvet cover, cos it was a little bit damp the other night so I didn't put it on, and sleeping under a duvet with no cover feels kinda gross... But I did it, and lived to tell the tale.

I'm a bit overtired, but in such a good mood that it doesn't even matter? And typing faster than I think I've ever typed before, must be a combination of Lift Plus and being overtired. And the Crunchie bar i had for breakfast? That was a bad idea. I want fruit :( Or sushi! Yum. I <3 Sushi for breakfast.
Going home in a week and a half, for study week, for 7 days total. So excited, just sick of Tom and his stupid German-ness. Judging me, all the time, and judging Brendan too. Bah.

Wish I had a stapler handy to staple my assignment.. I wonder where I'll find one of those?? There wasn't one on the lib desk when I went out there. Slack. What kinda lib desk doesn't have a stapler? If any of this entry doesn't make sense it's cos my typing is a little overexcited and when I look back I find random words misspelt (?) which change the entire meaning of a sentence. Words are good like that.... So sneaky.

Reallly need Dad (3 Ls, really?) to courier me my external, my computer is so close to shitting itself and I really want to rescue Big Bang Theory & How I met your mother before it does :( Dammitttttttt.
Well, should prob go find a stapler, etc, and start the group part of our arts. Win.
