survived first year!

Well at least I think I survived...

It's only been a week and I'm already bored...dare I say I already miss uni =/ I think I miss the structure, and going to uni at least made me feel like I had a reason to get up in the morning. Now I just don't know what to do with myself ahahha

More hate on work - I agreed to changed my Sunday 7-2:30 shift to Saturday 10-5:30, so I could have a later start. Turns out after doing 2 Saturdays, I'm told that I'm working 7-1 on Saturdays and there was nothing I could do about it. EXCUSE ME if I were to willingly start at 7am, I would prefer Sundays! At least I could do more hours...I was so angry I almost quit right there and then, but I calmed down and decided to wait til I come back from USA, find a new job, and then quit :D

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY AND EXCITEDLY - AMERICA IN 9 DAYS!

All flights booked, all accommodation booked, all tours booked...Amtrak from NY to DC not yet booked but OH WELLLL! Hopefully will be a trip of a lifetime (not gonna lie, I'm a little scared about getting shot though.)

So for the next few days, I don't have much planned. Gotta submit my exchange application for "Fall 2012" (check me out with my american lingo hehe) and fingers crossed I get accepted. My preferences are Carnegie Mellon, McGill University and University of Pennslyvania...originally I had UCLA and etc as my first preference til I realised their neuroscience program was totally different from Melb uni and it was just alllllll wrong for me.

Anyway I'll try update more often, especially when I'm travelling. Will probably update before I go!

RECAP

What have I been up to/so busy with this week?

...not very much. As in, I can't remember what I've been doing, but I think I was fairly busy? Last night we had our annual Christmas piano concert for the Royal Childrens' Hospital, which was a success (I think). Last year we raised over $2000 so hopefully we can top it this year :D Susan hosted it with some name pronouncing errors...Jacky seems to suck at spelling peoples' names, making me look stupid when there's errors in the program that I made =__=. There was this ADORABLE little boy who wore suspenders and a bowtie, and playing a violin duet with this little cellist girl and stuffed up twice and got all flustered...SO DANG CUTE OH MY GOSHH

I performed last :| wwhhhhyyyy mmmeeeee, it wasn't even a WOO FINALE kinda song, I mean come on..Clair de Lune REALLY? But it went well...wait yeah that's what I was so busy with this week, PIANO. Here's a photo of the awesomethree, est. 1998...I love how 12 years on, the first thing we do after concerts (apart from eat food before it disappears) is get changed out of our damn dresses...and then cop it cos we're still wearing makeup and look stupid anyway

I think other than piano I've actually done nothing :| Went out with Ian again some time last week and he got me chocolate WOOOO...it's almost sad how easy I am to please haha. Lack of activity this week aside, SCHOOOOOOLIES TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch this space (and pray for good weather)...

heat, pollen & boredom

Today marks the first day when I've started to feel bored with lack of school (not complaining, just saying :P). Nowhere to go because it's too bloody hot/windy and hayfever is through the roof.

Went to the pool yesterday to actually swim laps...probably did around 100m before my arms were exhausted, but the pressure of Susan & other fast people in my lane pushed me to about 1km before I yelled to PLEASE STOP, CAN WE JUST TAN?! Changed outta the bathers into a bikini, and to my horror I had this terrifying circle tan on my back that was kinda grey in colour because of sunscreen...I think it's faded out now, but judging by my white ass I got blacker anyway.

Mum talked me out of going to Susan's after dinner, so instead I did some massive redecorating - for the few youtubers who follow me here (I swear I will make a video soon!) you might be sad to see the Oosp poster finally retire...

but it's a welcome change for me seeing as post-school life is changing so much now :) plus, I will neverrr get bored staring at my wall anymore!

I think I'll go to Susan's later in the comfort of mum's airconditioned and freefrompollen car and just watch DVDs. ANYTHING to get me out of this house/off the computer

primary school reunion !

So. Bizarre.

It was pretty fun actually, I dragged 2 of my best mates from primary school to go with me (both were dreading it) and on the inside I thought it would be seriously awkward...

And okay, there was *some* awkwardness for Steph and me because we left in year 3&4...I remembered everyone but people looked at us without seeming to know who we were so we just didn't say anything LOL

To the half of the 40ish people who did remember me, it was really good seeing them :D Spent most of the time talking to Olivia and Tiffany, exchanging hilarious memories/stories, ohhh mannn so much laughter! I definately didn't know the guy sitting opposite me (..Jay? err) cos I had already left school, but it was strange how we barely spoke and he added me on facebook =/

Also really funny when people remember the most random things...James was like HEY you're the girl who can say the alphabet backwards! Well....yes, but HAHAHA WHAT A RANDOM THING TO REMEMBER?

Most people haven't changed at all...Kathy came alllll the way down from Koo Wee Rup (yeah where the hell is that?) in the country and she was soo cute cos she was nervous haha. Didn't get to say hey to the twins either but it didn't look like they recognised me anyway :( Vaguely said hi to 2 of my really good friends back then, but we're all soooo different now that there wasn't much conversation...but at the same time, none of us have changed that much. I guess friendship is just way easier when you're 10 years old :)

fire in melbourne central

SOO my day's all messed up now...Lisa, Juls and I set out to watch Karate Kid today (cheap Tuesday woo!), and whilst lining up for tickets, there was some weird burning smell but we ignored it and went into the cinemas

20 minutes into the movie, the film suddenly blacked out and the sound like...slow-mo'd to a stop, lights went up and some dude came in to evacuate us all out =/ it was pretty crazy the amount of people just FLOODING down the escalators. I saw a few firemen so I assume it was a fire (and yeah, apparently a fire in the kitchen of Groove)...

The guy said we'd all get a refund blahblahblah but COME ON, I hauled my ass all the way to the city to do absolutely nothing! Like I'd come back tomorrow all over again...hrrmph. I'll get that refund hopefully next week...imagine how much it would suck if you were 10 minutes away from the end of your movie, or at the REALLY exciting part and they stopped the film ohhh man...I guess I'm thankful we were only 20 minutes in :)
