Today was my first full day off crutches. And i have to say - my foot is killing me! And as i said in the comment, i only have 2 digesics left :(
But i managed ok at uni. Slowly though. Ran into Mitch - "so you're walking again" ... well clearly. ...
Am so busy these next few weeks - group psych assignment due tomorrow; statistics exam this friday; energetics exam next monday; psychology exam tuesday; energetics assignment due next wednesday; then the next week i have a marketing exam :( ... so much work to do!!! But then i have a bit of a break (yay for VC week).
Does anyone want to come on a harbour cruise???? Its for uni age ppl ... on Saturday 19th April; 7-11pm; free beer, wine soft drinks; Dinner included; DJ etc... $65 ...
Let me know ASAP. Will be fun and then we can go somewhere else afterwards... Would be great if some of you could come... Pls?
And i can't believe it's already March 31st - where has the time gone?!

op debrief
Thursday - woke up at 5:30am so that i could eat something... cos i wasnt allowed to eat after 6am.
was at the san just before 12 - dont know why they like you there so early - didnt go up to see the anaesthetist until 2:15.
anyway, it went well i suppose ... although i clearly remember them taking the intubation tube out of my throat - which i shouldnt remember ...
Didnt get home until 7:30... then spent that night and friday and saturday on crutches... but i can bear my weight now with only a little bit of pain, so all is good... but im still on digesics, so that is definitely helping.
One good thing about the surgery is that i got 13 hrs sleep on thursday night - 10pm to 11am friday morning!! Felt so good on friday.
went to club to watch the rest of club champs on friday night, then went to mcdonalds with the crew. Was a good night.
Apart from that it's been a quiet w/e ... uni work and movies and stuff...
One bad thing - i cant take the dressings/bandages off my foot for 10-14 days (when i have my follow up appointment). Which really sucks, cos it means i cant wear shoes for all that time ... which makes it hard for uni...
now we're just waiting for pathology results...
Ari msged me on tuesday. Again. But that was my extremely busy day... unfortunately. Cos it would have been good to finally catch up.
Anyway, hope you have all had better weekends than i have.

Happy Easter
I apologise for lack of blogging. My standard has definitely slipped this year.
Quick run down of the Easter weekend:
Wednesday we had no uni. Went to Pancakes on the Rocks with a few uni friends for my birthday. Fun times.
Thursday was my birthday! yay. another year older. Was a quiet day - awesome weather though!! Went shopping and bought an awesome adidas tracksuit :) ... And had yummy chicken for dinner. And Megan gave me a swarovski crystal necklace :) ... so pretty!
Friday. Good Friday was rainy. It reminded me of Easter of 99 i think, when it was rainy all weekend...
Saturday got the worst blisters from evil shoes. Went shopping with mum and dad, then met kara at coles then went to Danielle's house for bday dinner. Was a good night.
Sunday. Easter Day. Chocolate overload. Went to ex-neighbours house in Killara. Much more fun than i expected it to be. First ever Easter egg hunt!!
Monday (today). My birthday again (kind of). Had family dinner - nicest chinese i have had in a long time!! And awesome cheesecake :)
And that pretty much sums up my extra long Easter weekend. Hope you all had a happy Easter.
Tomorrow is going to be one busy day. Uni from 11 - 3pm. Go straight to work which starts at 4pm. Finish at 6pm, get picked up and go straight to Wahroonga until 8pm. Then i have a meeting in Berowra which is meant to start at 8pm, so obviously i will be late. So i leave home at 9:30am and dont get back home until 9:30pm. Hectic is what i call it.
3 days to go... still undecided... but im kinda resigned to the fact now that it will go ahead and that im going to have to miss out... not that that means that im ok about it.

My crappy weekend
Friday was swim club champs - which started out good, but cancelled half way through due to the storm. Which provided us with some entertainment, as we didnt want to go walk to the car in the pouring rain, so charlie ran to the car for us (with a towel over his head - dont know what that was going to do!!) and drove it back for us :) and we all sat there laughing cos he looked so funny!
Kara's party was fun, even though i was only there for such a tiny bit of it.
Saturday i had a state swim meet in Botany. Had to be there at 8:30am. Picked up bronze in my freestyle, silver for free relay and bronze for medley relay. Which was good - a medal for all my races! .. apart from that it was a good day.
So... dad and i get home at almost 6ish and i was planning to go meet up with this guy at about 8:00ish. So thats all ok.
But then mum tells us about their day - my pop (who is 82 by the way) was on the roof of their house and fell off and hit his head. So the whole of berowra knows, cos a helicopter had to land on the school oval and fly him to westmead, where he still remains and probably will for awhile :(
But i was still going to go out - i thought it would take my mind off it and whatever. But then i went back up to the bathroom (at about 7:40) and discover that i have flooded the whole bathroom/vanity!! I had put the plug in the basin and turned on the tap and walked away and completely forgot about it!!!! And there was water everywhere! The carpet is still drying now as i type this. ..... So i had to bail on Ari at the last minute cos i had a big job cleaning up to do.
So my weekend was going to be good, until my stupidity totally ruined it :( I feel so bad for bailing on him.
Yesterday was a good day at uni though. We did ergometry in the lab, which was fun. Then jacelle and i went to the library to answer our lab questions and get them out of the way, and then the lect and then kathy drove me to Hornsby!! ... the only thing that ruined that was seeing a car accident... :(
But i have to go get ready for uni!! And i dont want to be late.

Happy Days!
So last night i get home and im making megan and myself pizza for dinner and i got a msg, and we just looked at each other and laughed, cos we so knew who it would be from. And it was from him! Funny, cos we had been talking about him on the way home with ali. ... (if u want to know the full story you're gonna have to ask, cos im not blogging it or anything)
Anyway, today was good. Got up at 7ish and mum decides to be nice and says i can drive to uni. Had the house to myself all morning (was awesome!!) and then drove to uni midday-ish. And then met caitlin and phil and we headed to our tute. That was oh so interesting! haha.
Lecture straight after was good. Not because of the content, but because we sat up the back of the massive auditorium and entertained ourselves. Random thought of mine made us laugh for ages - i said that it would be so much more interesting if our lecturer brought an emu into the lect...
Doesn't sound like that much of an interesting day, but i had a ball. Definitely having a good day! Which is rare. So i'm happy!! ... just wish there were more of these days!

back to routine...
1st of March today!! Summer is officially over and autumn has arrived. And that's exciting cos it means that my birthday and Easter are both in 3 weeks!!
First week of uni is over! Only... something like 11 or 12 to go... subjects seem like they will be ok. ... Thursdays are my day off, and all my other days are just for 3 hrs...
Tuesday was a hectic day. Went to jeff's swimming carnival at 8:30... watched his medley race... then had a psychology lecture at 11am. Was meant to finish uni at 1pm. But no. They decided that they would run the tutes (which they said they wouldnt do!!) That meant i finished uni at 3pm. And i had to get home and changed and be ready to start work at 4pm. (i just made it in time). Finished work at 6:10, and then had to be home in time for alison to pick me up at 6:15!! ... i dont think i need to say she had to wait a few minutes for me... what made it worse though, was that i didnt really ever have an opportunity to eat. So i had a piece of toast and an apple for breakfast... then a lollypop from the co-op bookshop ... then a piece of bread that was shoved into my mouth when ali picked me up... that was all i ate from 6am to 8:30pm...
Nervous/worried about the 27th March. That's the day of my operation (my foot). I wasn't worried about it, but they sent me the pre-admission booklet and letters and stuff on Thursday and it went on and on about all the risks and stuff... such as being aware of what is going on (thats the scary one), stroke, eye-sight damage, nervous system damage, death, could stop breathing and they will have to intubate which could lead to damage to mouth, teeth, throat etc... and the list goes on...
Soo much to say!! well, not actually that much, just that i want to talk!! About something...! gossip session anyone??
