I think i'm sick

I feel completely horrible. Yesterday i got home 2:00 ish and after finishing my lunch i lay down on the lounge room floor and was asleep within seconds... woke up and migrated to my bed where i stayed for another hour or so... went to bed properly at 9pm and i don't think i have ever fallen asleep so quickly (with the exception of earlier in the afternoon on the floor)... i think i might be sick... ... don't know how well im gonna function in the speed and agility tute that i have this morning...

I cant be bothered doing uni work... poor ash - he wanted to be my parnter cos he thinks i am reliable ... ha. Not atm i'm not.

Oh but i have some good news... i am starting "work" at a gym tomorrow! Not allowed to do proper stuff yet obviously, but i am shadowing the assistant manager for a few weeks... and the manager is going to look at ways i can cut corners to get my gym/fitness instructor certificate III so that i can work by myself...

Happy 50th

I have [finally] reached the first milestone!!! (which i thought i had reached 10 posts ago!) 50 entries... which, like i said before, is an achievement for me, as i was once so opposed to this sort of thing... and also cos i never have anything interesting to blog about...

So i went to the markets on the weekend with Megan... i got the best top - with the best phrase on it... ha ha. And a cute jacket. And the yummiest bananas! ... and there was a stupid man who tried to sell us a window cleaning thing - why??? cos he was stupid! Who tries to sell two teenagers something like that?

I read in the paper this weekend about a 26yr old who is dying from skin cancer cos she was a regular user of solariums. There is a girl in my course at uni who is also a die-hard fan of solariums - to the point of having a killer tan (and very unnatural looking) ... and she is going to end up just like this girl in the papers. Either dying from skin cancer, or looking like a shrivelled prune before she's 30. Do people like this not realise the dangers of what they are doing? ... no, how stupid of me - how can they not realise? There are warnings everywhere. They must just be naiive and believe themselves invincible and immune to such things.

Headed for the markets

So I just got home, and find out that yes, we are going to the markets tomorrow! Perfect. Now I just need $$ ... and i have to get up in 7 hours and leave in eight, so i should probably go catch some zzz's

Boring day

OMG i just had THE most boring tute! Discussing results from last weeks class and answering questions on it and then we had to go over those questions! And my table also finished way before everyone else, which made it even more boring waiting for them all!

And now i escaped to the library for some peace and quiet. And also more intellectual thoughts than the immature ones that were being thrown around in the cafeteria. But also cos i have a headache and it was just too noisy there.

And a big Happy Birthday to Jillian!!!!! Hope your day is more fun than mine is turning out to be. ... also relates back to yesterday's entry about growing up...

Yes. So not a great day so far. And what makes it worse is that i can't even go home this afternoon to be entertained by Jeff, cos he left this morning :( ... it was so cute. He gave me this big hug and he didn't want to let go... i don't think he wanted me to go to uni - he would have preferred me to go see him off at school...

I think i might be going to the markets this Saturday... so hopefully i will pick up some good buys.

But now i should do some work. I always feel guilty when i am blogging in the library and everyone else is studying or doing assignments or the like.

Everyone is growing up...

My brother is going to Canberra tomorrow (with school)!! How sad is that? His first camp :( ... i mean it's exciting for him, but it's sad that he's growing up so quickly. It's gonna be sooo weird without him at home for the next 3 days... ... if im this sad about my brother going to Canberra, what am i going to be like when my own child starts school?? Tragic.

And speaking of growing up, the first year of uni will be over in 11 weeks!! How crazy is that?!

Completely different train of thought: Traffic was shocking this evening... and apparantly I am a very judging person. That can't be good.

Anyway. We should go to Neverland for awhile so we stop getting older.... and because it would be fun!

oh, btw, our lecturer asked us today to think of someone that we know who either really really annoys us, or who we enjoy spending time with... and guess who's name popped into my mind first? And for the annoying category... yup - justine you probably guessed it... probably noone else did, but that's ok. I cant reveal it on here... i know, i know, it's horrible of me. But i promise the person isn't in that category all the time.

baby

I completely forgot to tell you! My cousin had her baby last Tuesday!! A boy. So now little Abby has someone to play with... Isaac William. That's his name... i must admit i am not a fan of the name Isaac, but I like William. ....

That is all.

Sunday afternoon

Rain... lots and lots of rain today... but it's nice though - there's a pretty mist over the valley and the rain droplets on all the leaves...

Made a yummy tomato-ish pasta for lunch. Was good. And warm. (well hot actually, but it makes you feel all warm inside) And to balance out the healthy-ness, a hot self-saucing chocolate pudding.... yum.

i realised yesterday that i can't (or shouldn't) drink alcohol for 5 months :( ... the other day i started a course of antibiotics, and being completley not used to taking them, i went and drank on Friday night... then saturday morning, i woke up and realised that it was probably a mistake. And looked up the drugs to see if i was going to die (ok im exaggerating) and found out that no, i wasn't going to die, but i should "try to avoid alcohol" ... .......so there goes the plan of being drunk for all my finals this semester!

Needles hurt

I had an injetion this afternoon... it hurt while she was doing it, but afterwards it was fine... but still 2 more to go :(

Ok so every Thursday I have prac at uni. So today we were doing sprinting (interval training) and fun fartlek training and played soccer. So we get out on the oval waiting for the previous class to finish, and it is not raining. But as soon as we start our class, it starts sprinkling. Then it gets heavier. But do we go inside? No. We have a vote, and all but 2 of us voted to stay out and finish the class. So we are out there in the rain running around, (and also got to go running through the pretty bush) getting wet and very very cold. Freezing would be a better word. Apparantly my legs were turning blue. It was fun though. And then most people from my class ditched the lecture, so i go to the cafeteria and sit with ash, scottie, steven etc (all guys mind you) then we go to lecture and I sat with Amy and Erica and Sam (in front of Toby who was mumbling to his friend the whole time, and behind Laura who must have filled up pages and pages with notes.) ... So Amy drives me to the station and i walk home and then (the best bit) i have a yummy hot chocolate!

Yeah. So that was my day. Oh except I met Nat and Kirsten for our group assignment this morning b4 the tute, and we decided we would try and find where our tutor would be (she has a different "staff room" cos she's still a student) and we ended up knocking on random doors that were apparantly empty... well noone answered anyway. But it was fun, cos we got to see parts of the uni that we hadn't seen b4.

I found my usb!

Hey guess what?! Yesterday when we went to get lunch in West Lindfield, we saw Rai (is that his name?) from Thirsty Merc!!! He was having lunch at the cafe (and we walked past him 3 times - not on purpose might I add) How cool is that?! My list of famous sightings is growing...

Oh and the biggest relief ever today! Someone had handed in my usb at the library - which means we didnt lose our assignment!! After getting no sleep last night, i was worried for nothing... Thanks Justine for listening to me stress about it last night.

Ok. Which do you think will go further? Me throwing a soccer ball, throwing a soft ball or kicking a soccer ball? .... nup you were wrong! Out of all these things I can throw a soccer ball the furthest. Probably cos i'm used to throwing a waterpolo ball which isn't much smaller than a soccer ball ... But I probably could kick a soccer ball further if i had shoes on!!! Dirty dirty feet and wet wet shoes from that exercise this morning. From the wet wet grass. And Chris is hilarious with his warm up techniques (which could be classified as a dance!)

And I am going to do more work this semester for uni - if i dont im gonna fail everything - there is so much more work this semester!! And it sucks! And come to think of it, i should actually be doing an assignment right now... Ash is at the computer next to me and he is busily finding stuff for it (another group assignment) and here i am typing on blogger. Yes, i know i know... i can hear you all screaming that Im slack and lazy... but think of it this way - he will find all the info and then i thats less stress for me and then i will help him put it all together. I mean someone is gonna find that info anyway, so why shouldn't it be him??

Lol. I should go. Hope y'all have a good day!

Crazy weather

Wow - it is so hot today - currently 26 degrees at my place! Bring back the summer dresses!

There's a first time for everything...

hmmm... i just spent half an hour ...actually, maybe more like 45 minutes... creating the first page of a power point for a uni assignment... but at least i can say that time was well spent as it is fun and funky (and very appropriate lol) and i think it should get a laugh... it has a picture of nuns holding rifles.... yeahhhh... and you're asking how is that appropriate? Well to tell the truth, im not too sure - it has something to do with personality... or maybe conflicting personalities?

Anyway. Onto something else. My brother is in yr 5 and he comes home today to tell us that he has to read 'The Diary of Anne Frank' for literacy circles (kind of like reading groups). How is Anne Frank appropriate for 10 year olds??? How is a ten year old possibly going to read it, appreciate it, answer lots of questions on it? And more importantly, they won't enjoy it. ... Does anyone agree, or am i just way off the mark on this one?

On the way home today, someone was smoking... on the train!! How disgusting. At least when they smoke on the platform you can escape it. But on the train! Well i didn't see anyone smoking, but i could smell it... or maybe i could still smell the smoke i shared with other sports ppls after the beep test this morning (ha - how ironic is that... that actually sounds really bad)...

Did you know that once you ppl get to the age of 25, if you do not keep physical activity up you will lose physiological functions (including brain power) by 1% each year! ... Although even if you are active you still deteriorate by 0.5% each year...

Ok. I should go... places to go and people to meet...! (and the piano sounds like a carnival, and the microphone smells like a beer!!)

Oh and by the way, i was only joking when I said i had a smoke today. That's if you were even gullible enough to believe me in the first place...

Edited version

Ok. I had typed up a whole blog, but then realised you guys don't care / wouldn't want to read about it, so I deleted it and am left with nothing really. Oh and it makes me feel bad (and guilty), so why would i want to blog about it anyway? All I can say is why couldn't I just have kept my mouth shut?! I didn't even think... it just blurted out...

But anyway. I have a dilemma. Two ppl currently want to be my partner for a uni assessment worth 65% of our final grade for that subject, and I have to chose between them! How can i do that? Ash turned around in class and said 'you're my partner', but then poor Megs next to me said 'Oh... i was about to ask if you'd be my partner' ... and I would love to have Megs as my partner cos she has great ideas and is confident and enthusiastic (meaning she would be an awesome partner for the seminar we have to give)... but Ash is very competent in the mechanics component of the subject, so he would be good at the content in the written part of the assessment... So who should I choose?

And I need to go on a diet/healthy eating plan... anyone got any suggestions as to what i should/shouldn't include?

I love looking through Ikea brochures... and planning out my whole house (when I get one)...

Oh and can someone please remind me to book a doctor's appointment? (Stupid vaccinations which I apparantly need) ... Why is it that i keep forgetting to do so? ... Convenient I call it.
