home again home agin jigidy jig

I'm back from the beach house! I spent a good 5 days of relaxing and eating. I slept about 12 hours last night. I didn't spend much time outside because it was overcast, windy, rainy, and cold. Anri came and visited for a little while. Yes, Australian Anri!! She was on vaca with her mom and dad and stopped by the beach house for dessert after lunch. It was nice to see her again and we hung out a little. Then Noe came and slept over from Thursday to Friday night and we just hung out until practice on Friday. I was supposed to drive Noe and I back into town by myself but I forgot my license at home so I had to have Aunty Sandy drive us in. Then we (my mom, aunty, and I) all drove back out to the beach house. I ended up going to sleep outside in the hammock and it was quite possibly one of the BEST sleeps I've had in my life. In the morning I woke up and got ready for practice. I went to pointe and saw Bridgette (my favorite pointe teacher in the WHOLE world!!). After practice I went back out to the beach house. Now I'm back home and have a full list of things to do. I need to mail out heaps of presents for people I won't be seeing for a while. So upsetting that I won't be seeing Raisa for another semester!!!! and I won't be seeing Adam for another two years!!!! hmph... :( Anyways, going on with my list... I need to continue to work on my dance and flexibility for my performances; I have to apply to more places to work because borders hasn't gotten back to me yet; I really need to get in touch with the barn to I can get riding; and last but not least, I need to visit MPI and all my FABULOUS teachers from high school. I wanna make time to hang out with everyone as well but you know how anti I get when I'm home. Not to mention how much dance I'll be doing. So far my time home has been pretty boring and slow going. Hopefully more things will happen that is blog worthy. Otherwise I have absolutely nothing else to say. Until then, Laterz!

I'm thankful for...

Family. I am ridiculously thankful for my parents especially. They go through so much and make so many sacrifices to give me what I want and need. They are incredibly loving and the greatest parents ever. I also say thanks for my wonderful family I'm currently at the beach house with. You guys are the greatest people ever! I'm sorry I travel around the world so much because I never get to see you any more :( But I couldn't survive without you all!!

Friends. I now have more friends than ever. Thank you to all my friends from Drill, Priory, Mid-Pac, Skidmore, and now ANU. I could never have gotten through school without all of you by my side. You all constantly encourage me and help me with all my problems when ever I need it. You all make me smile and I love you all so much. For those of you I can't see frequently or regularly, I still say my thanks to you when ever I think of you :) For those I do see regularly, I can't describe the amount of gratitude I have for you.

Special shout outs: Fab5-Carolyn, Erin, Leanna, Mandi. Kelso. Gus gus. Zan... All of DTH!!... Biscuit E. Long Neck... Davies. Hugh. JD. Swigman. Smee... Brent. Cassidy. Bliss. Ryan. Mom. Dad. Auntie Sandy. Rendi. Uncle Grant. Grandma. Auntie Jayna. Kyle. Kiana.

Thank you very much to everyone who is in my life. What are you thankful for? Laters ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving!! Which means eating 7 meals throughout the day and being lazy. Normally the family would meet up at Grandma's house and we'd all hang out there watching football, taking naps, and eating. Ever since I went away to college I've been spending Thanksgiving with Ryen and other friends at the Macy's day parade in NYC. This year.... I'm going to my dad's beach house in Kualoa and pretty much vegging there. Anri is in town and might be joining us :) It's gonna be so much fun! I'm gonna be lounging on the beach much like I did with JD and Swigman in Gold Coast and Cairns. I was gonna go swimming in my pool yesterday afternoon but then realized I would be swimming by myself and after spending days swimming with Adam and his friends at Mel's pool and that one day at the Dickson pool with Davies, Swigman, Fergie, Tara, and Michael, swimming alone just isn't the same.

I've been working on my dance for the Christmas show. My body hurts so much and stretching is painful. I'm gonna have to stretch multiple times every day before the show. I also need to start getting back on HI time for my sleep schedule. I've been going to bed at 2 and waking up at 10 which would make my timing for Australia sleep at 11 and wake up at 7 which is what I did pretty much all semester.

I've been working on cleaning my room since I've been back. There are so many things in my room that I really just don't want but can't really get rid of. Luckily, Rendi wants girlie going out clothes which is the type of clothes that I have and kinda need to get rid of. It all works out pretty well. One of these days I'll have an uncluttered room. I just have to take it one step at a time. I'm gonna go take one of those steps right now... Laters!

Back in Hawaii. But not quite home.

So I left Australia reluctantly. The trip to the airport was fine. Tara drove me to the bus station and the bus took me to the Sydney airport. After checking in and going through all the security and whatnot I finally go to the gate. Not gonna lie... I cried the whole time I was at the bus station and on the bus going to the airport. Then I was fine until I got to the gate. I messaged Adam for the last time and his response made me cry all over again. It was hard to leave. Then I boarded the plane and sat down, exhausted. When the woman I was sitting next to came to the seat she was more of a mess than I was. She hit me in the head with her bad while trying to put it in the over head compartment, and then she had me get up so she could sit but then she had to use the bathroom so I had to get out again. Ten minutes into the flight there was a guy that caused a lot of problems because his head rest was broken. There was just so much going on that I literally wanted to yell at someone. Finally everything settled down except the plane. We had quite some turbulence but it lightened up. The two movies that played were Up and Ice Age 3. I watched Up while I ate dinner but then fell asleep before Ice Age started. I slept for quite a while but then woke up for breakfast. Finally I landed and messaged everyone that I was back. It's safe to say I sent out 50 messages and replies to people. Then I got home and kinda just chilled until I needed to head out to Noe's house. After visiting my favorite lil sis I went to dinner with my family at the wonderful Sunday night dinners. We talked and had a good time as usual. I ate a lot and can't wait to dance it off tomorrow. I miss my Aussie friends so much and I've only been back for a day. Hopefully I'll be able to return to ANU for grad school! I will work my ass off to get into that school because I really want to go back. I can't believe that I grew so attached to the city, people, and school.

Tomorrow I have to clean my room... it's pretty disgusting. Then I have dance practice which is incredible because I miss dancing so much. Not that I didn't dance heaps when I was in Australia but it'll be nice dancing with old friends again. I have to work out early in the AM because I kinda just need to. Working out will help me get my heart whole again. I may be back in Hawaii but I left my heart in Australia; at least part of it. If home is where the heart is then I have way too many homes to return to eventually. Until I do... Laters.

The last post in Australia

Today is my last day in the greatest country I've ever lived in :( The last three nights here were amazing. On Thursday my farewell pub crawl was CRAZY!! I had so much fun and my friends all helped to make my last drunken night one to remember.... too bad I can't remember much of it haha. I remember starting off at Le Chat Noir and then headed to ICBM. I was absolutely drenched in sweat! It was so hot everywhere we went. I was an absolute mess but had SO MUCH FUN!

On Friday when I woke up I was COMPLETELY still drunk. I spent all day in my bed because I couldn't move, I was too tired. I had to say good bye to so many people that I spent a good portion of my day crying. The handful of people left at Burgmann decided we wanted to watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in the common room. We spent our last night together in a quiet but hot room.

Saturday was the day that I absolutely had to pack. I put everything away and realized that it was a lot harder than I had imagined. I managed to put all my stuff into my bags and clean up my room. Then Adam called and we went out for the last time together. He took me to a $50 performance of a combination of aboriginal and contemporary dancing. It was called fire and it was AMAZING!!!!! I'm so thankful that he took me to it because it was a night worth remembering. After the show we went to Red Hill to see the lights of Canberra. It was so beautiful and I'll never forget it. It was the perfect way to end my time in Australia. I can't believe my time is nearly up. I will be back and all you Aussies can look forward to my causing trouble in Oz again :P I love you all and below are a few shout outs to some of my closest friends.

Adam: You've taught me in more ways than I can count. I can't wait to come back to see what we can be. IMYA Xx
Ben: It was so great to get to know you this semester! Thanks for all the meals and laughs.
Carla: You're an amazing athlete and a quick learner in gymnastics. I'm sorry we weren't able to hang out much this semester.
Davies: You're the first person to meet me and Swigman at Burgmann. Thanks for being the awesome friend you are.
Foster: Thanks for all the ridiculous mornings when I would stare at you in absolute confusion while you just smiled and laughed at me for something I did the night before lol. I'm gonna miss you crazy boy!
Gabi: Good luck in all your science courses and with everything in general. I'll miss being in blue planet with you! Keep paving the road for me and my Aussie boys ;)
Hugh: Thanks for always keeping me sane and giving me the awesome tough love that I so desperately need :P
Hinchy: I'm sorry to say that I wasn't able to get to know you better. You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever met in my life. Take care love!
Jarrod: You're a great soccer player and an even better friend. You've always been so nice to me.
JD: GEO NERD!!!!! Don't forget me ok? You know I'll always remember the vent sessions and random night walks :)
Jeffsy: Oh my dear, how you've taught me so much about being "Australian" :P You were a great friend and I'm glad I got to know you early on in the semester.
John Daly: JOHN DALY JOHN DALY!! You'll always be my favorite Cadbury to hang with :) KIT
Josh: I'm gonna miss that awesome hair of yours, not to mention you as a person as well. I will never forget you Hartnett ;)
Peter: AHHHHH!! Just imagining you shocked me AGAIN. I'll never forget you Pete. Keep in touch!
Schwebel: Schwebel rebel!! Even though you're not a rebel lol. I'm so thrilled to have you as a friend. Make sure you stay safe and take lots of pictures in Canada and America so that I can see your adventures!
Stephen: Priest-kun! You're more Asian than I am and I can accept that. Keep up the good work in life and practice with me sometime :D
Swigman: My other half :) I'm so glad I met you here. I'll be sure to visit when I get my CAR next year :D love you girlie.
Tara: I was so thrilled to learn that you were in my Anth class this past semester. I absolutely loved hanging out with you. I'll miss you heaps!
Tom: Thanks for keeping me in your drawer next semester ;) Be sure to feed me!!

I love you all and will never forget any of you! Make sure you remember me! Until I get home Xx

Finally Done!!! but busy as hell

Tuesday:
I went to my exam at 2:30 and thought I was gonna die! The very first fossil that Patrick showed us I drew a blank. I panicked! And then for the other questions there were some that asked what age the rock was as indicated by the fossil. I knew when the fossil was alive and when it went sorta extinct but I had no idea how many millions of years ago that was. I frantically flipped through my notes and almost ran out of time for the end of the exam. ugh awful awful awful!! Then I hung out until about 8ish. Adam came by to take my mind off the exam. Trent invited me out. Adam didn't wanna go out because he had to work early the next day but after Adam left around 10, I met up with everyone else out. We went to Wig and Pen and then The Phoenix. I didn't drink anything (miraculously) all night. At the end of the night we went to maccas (McDonalds) and I got a yummy bacon cheeseburger and an oreo mcflurry with fudge. Greatest night ever!!

Wednesday:
I took it real easy yesterday. I woke up, ate breakfast, made some jewelery, and packed up my room a little. I now have NOTHING on my walls :( I packed up my books and some of my DVDs. I almost had a panic attack again because my DS needed to be charged but my charger for some reason wasn't charging it. So I tried every outlet and every converter that I had. Finally an hour later I managed to find out how I needed to charge it. Apparently I needed have my adapter turned on lo instead of hi. Then I got back on the network and downloaded a bunch of movies. I was in a bit of a depressed mood from packing up. Then I turned in early for the night.

Today:
Tonight is my farewell party with Sarah. I'm gonna get smashed!! Aussies are gonna be sending us home the proper way! I'm going out tonight and tomorrow and hopefully we'll be able to see everyone before they leave. I'm looking forward to being home just a little bit more now because Anri is gonna be in Hawaii! I can't wait to see her :) but I'm still so sad to be leaving the place I love so much. I'm gonna miss everyone so much! I can't believe the time has gone by so fast. I'll be sure to keep in touch with everyone. Then WHEN I come back for post grad I'll still have friends to see (hopefully). If anyone has skype be sure add me!! vixey_gurl808 I'll update once more before I leave but for the most part my Aussie experience has come to an end :( laters

a headache and a half but still smiling... sorta

Saturday night I went out and had a great time. I went to knightsbridge first with Simon, Peter, and Bin-Ben (Shaun drove us). There were a bunch of people there but the cocktails were expensive so Bin-Ben, Trent, and someone else (who I don't know the name of) left fairly early. We went to Uni pub where we had affordable drinks and danced for a while. There was where we met up with Beth, LJ, Sarah, and a bunch of other people. We all danced and I saw Adam there. Then he and his friends left and I stayed with my friends. I saw Ben, Johnno, and Markle there and they kinda hung out with us for a little while. I told Bin-Ben that I wanted to dance somewhere else so after his tequilla shot we decided to leave. Ben, Markle, Trent, and I decided to go to Meche while Bin-Ben, Sarah May, and some other people decided to go to Shooters. We split saying that we'd meet up again but none of us had each others' numbers. Oh well. I stuck with the three guys and we went to Meche but couldn't get in because Ben had shorts on so we went to Moose instead. Markle bought me a drink (smirnoff ice... YUM!) and then Adam messaged me. So I told the guys I was leaving and they said to be careful. I met up with Adam, David, and two other people (both of whom I can't remember the names of). We went to Acadamy, which wasn't very good, and then back to ICBM. We danced quite a bit and I had TONS of fun!! Then Adam's friend drove me home. I wish I could've stayed with Adam for the night but his friends were waiting for him downstairs. At least now I know how I feel about him :)

Sunday morning I woke up and went shopping with Sarah. We needed to get a dress for Thursday's party. We went to three stores, tried on 15+ dresses, and FINALLY found the perfect dress. We both got dresses and we both look HOTTT!! Then a little while later Adam messaged me and asked if we wanted to go to Mel's pool again. I wanted to go but Sarah had plans already so he just picked me up. We swam for a while. His friends were throwing a football and beach ball around. I occasionally threw it to them when I got in the path of their throwing. Then I came home after a great/exhausting day in a pool. I studied and transferred my notes for my exam tomorrow and then went to bed.

Monday (today) I went to breakfast and lunch (first time I ate both meals in a while). At lunch Davies and Sarah invited me to go to the pool with them. I went because despite having an exam tomorrow, I needed to get out of the heat. It was 36C today!! That's way too hot for me to deal with. Michael, Tara, Fergus, Davies, Sarah, and I went swimming and had a blast! We threew around a tennis ball for a while and then played volleyball on scortching hot sand. Then after throwing the volleyball around for a while we decided it would be nice to lie out in the sun. We did and essentially just fell asleep in the sun. I'm pretty sure I got more tan. I got back to college not too long ago. I still have like a million bruises and don't know what they're from. I have a swollen calf from a bug bite and it's currently inflamed. This sucks! Only me.... Only I could get hurt from a bug bite. I tried to print out my confirmation email to make sure I could get to the airport on Sunday and realized that I didn't have the email. I'm pretty sure for some odd reason that I lost it. Then I learned that I might have to leave my room Sunday morning, which sucks because my bus leaves at 4 in the afternoon so basically I need to find somewhere to put all my bags and crap until I have to go to the bus station. Again, THIS SUCKS! Today has just been the night for bad news. I can't believe that I potentially screwed myself over. I'm not leaving Australia on a good note. At least I get to see Adam tomorrow night after my exam so there's one thing to look forward to. Once my exam is done I will have to start packing and that's only gonna make me more sad than I already am. This is so depressing!!! And yet I'm still smiling... WHAT?!?!?! I confuse myself sometimes. Oh well I'll just deal with it. I have to go back to studying now but keep an eye out to see how my week pans out! Laters :)

a trifecta weekend??

Thursday night:
I was DYING to go out on Thursday night. I messaged Jeremy to find out who he was going out with. I went to Gabi's room and had to convince her that she wanted to go out. Then when we were getting ready to go out and Peter and JD met up with us in Gabi's room. On our way out we ran into Josh on his way out and he came along with us. We went to North Bar and had a few drinks there. Then we went to ICBM and danced and had a few more drinks.... you can only imagine how drunk I got. But on the plus side I managed to get Josh hooked on my second favorite drink.... Vodka sunrise :) Then we went to shooters for some more drinks. Then the gang decided to go home and I met up with Adam. He introduced me to more friends but I don't really remember them. At some point in the night Jeremy left us and I saw him at Moose and he called me thinking that some random guy had picked me up. I didn't drink the rest of the night after meeting up with Adam. We just stood around with his friends. From what I can remember it was an amazing night out.

Friday:
I woke up slightly hung over. After I got over it at lunch I went to a review class. My prof brought us cake since we had to come in during exams :D yummy yummy cake!! Then I went back to my room and just hung out until dinner. At dinner I found some people going to the farewell party. I had to tag along with them because I had no idea where to go. On my way up to see who was ready to go I got snagged by Peter and Hugh. I was literally picked up off my feet and carried me down B block stairs by Peter. A group of us headed over to the party and on the way there Adam called me to see if I wanted to hang out with him. Of course I said yes and he picked me up a couple hours later. He took me over to his friend's house where we went swimming and hung out in her hot tub. The girl to guy ratio was pretty damn hilarious. Mel and I were the only girls and there were 6 guys. It was a lot of fun. Talking and hanging out with Adam always puts a smile on my face. I get a lot of shit from all my friends at Burgmann because he was my dance teacher. Even people at Skidmore get on my case about "sleeping with the teacher." I like him a lot and I really wish I didn't have to go in a week because he is so great to me and it feels so right to be with him. But hey meeting the greatest guy always happens right before I have to leave somewhere. Story of my life. I REALLY wish I didn't have commitment issues. I'm afraid to do anything with him because I don't wanna get emotionally attached (I'm leaving in a week!!). But I also don't wanna leave without letting him know just how much he means to me. Should I give into my wants and just deal with the pain later? or should I avoid the bad by not having the good? I wish I knew. After I go out tonight I'll be sure to update you about my decision. My drunken hook ups are always the most honest hook ups I have. So I'll just get pretty drunk and see where my mind takes me without me thinking too much. Wish me luck! Laters.

One more exam and I'm freeeeee

My second exam went decently OK. I wrote everything that I anticipated to write but my notes suck and I didn't have anything else to say. I finished by an hour and a half into the exam. I went back to college and visited Hugh to get back my highlighters (one of which he lost). I ended up sitting on his couch while he cleaned his room and talked to him about how crazy I am. Then he started to push me around so I exerted force back. We ended up getting into a wrestling match which I technically won until he started tickling me. I am weak when people tickle me. I didn't really have anything to do for the rest of the day except my mini make over. I plucked my eye brows and now they look pretty good. I didn't do anything else the rest of the night. I slept A LOT today though. I woke up at 8:30 because the stupid birds outside my window. Then after breakfast I just hung out in my room for a couple hours and fell back asleep. I woke up after lunch was done which sucked. I did my nails so that they look good again. And then fell asleep until dinner. I essentially slept through today. At dinner I realized just how sore I was from the stupid tickle war Hugh and I had. The left side of my ribs hurt like crazy now and my whole body is just sore. That's all I really did in the last couple days. I've been MIA from college life which kinda sucks. If I have anything else to share later on I'll be sure to update. Laters!

one down, two to go!

BLUE PLANET IS OOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! I'm am so excited that my Blue Planet exam is over with because that's the end of that class. Unfortunately the exam didn't go as well as I had hoped it would. There were some pretty damn specific questions that I sat there and was like WHERE WAS THIS IN THE BOOK?! and there were some questions that I looked at and said to myself 'is that in English?!' oh well. Can't do anything about it now. I studied as hard as I could and all I can do now is pray that I did well enough to pass the class. I just need to say right now that if JD didn't help me study I would've failed that exam with flying colours. At least with his help I had a chance of passing... THANK YOU SO MUCH JD!! YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!! well at least a Blue Planet grade saver :P After my exam (as I always do) I gave myself a mini beautification day where I spent four hours just doing typical girly things to make myself look pretty. Then I got ready to go out with Adam and his friends.

That night I got picked up by Curtis and Adam at 10:30 and we headed out to Uni pub. It was a ridiculously fun night. It started with Adam buying me a vodka sunrise (my second favorite drink :D) and meeting 3 more of his guy friends (all of which their names I've forgotten... Sorry :/). Then they bought me two more sunrises, which I didn't need, and we talked a little. They're crazy fun to hang out with! I only had three drinks but it was all while we were at Uni pub which was about an hour I think. After that I stopped drinking. I refused the following offers for drinks (which was a lot). I think Adam wanted to get me wasted because he kept trying to convince me that I wanted to drink more. We went to upstairs Moose (my second favorite place to go to dance) and Shooters (becaus they had cheap drinks). At shooters we met up with Simon, Josh, Will, Seth, and Trent. After a little while Simon, Josh, and Will decided to split. Seth and Trent stayed for a little and left with us to head towards Moose again. But then Seth left to go to Transit. Trent stayed with me and the guys and we all went to upstairs Moose. I found out that I was a better lesbian than Adam's friends were straight guys lol. There were two girls that wanted to take pictures with me and then a group of girls who wanted to dance with me up on the platforms. They were all very trashed but I had fun dancing with them. In the bathrooms I had three interesting conversations and it led to a lot of compliments on my dress and how I looked. I don't think I'll be going back to Mooseheads for a while. It wasn't until 3 that I decided I was tired and wanted to leave so Adam walked me back to Burgmann. It was a long walk after dancing for two hours. But it was one of the best nights I've had out in a long time. Thanks for taking me out Adam!

Saturday I woke up and forced myself to study. I may be done with Blue Planet but I still have two exams for Marine Palaeontology. The theory exam is first and I have to memorize a million facts about everything we covered. I also have to study for the practical exam.... except its not until the 17th so I have time for that one. I wasn't too successful in studying so today I really have get down to it. My essay is due tomorrow and I have to remember to turn that thing in or else I'll fail the course :( I can't wait to finish my exams but that only means that it's all over and I'll have to go home :( I'm not ready to go hommmmeeeee!!!!!!! hmph time goes by too fast. But I don't really have time to cry about it now because I have to go and study. Check back on Tuesday for updates on my aweful exam. I hate exams..... Laters!

Water starts to fall

All week I've been writing my Violence and Terror essay (worth 40% of my grade) and studying for my Blue Planet exam (also 40% of my grade). I finished my first draft of my essay last night and was really excited to send it via email to be edited. Then I turned all of my attention to studying today. I looked over my notes, read the chapters, and reviewed the lectures. Regardless of my preparation, I still feel like I have no idea what's going on in this class! This is the reason I am not pursuing a Science degree >:( I don't know what possessed me to take this class at all! I had a nice stress-out cry at dinner because that's when it hit me: I really am fu**ed for this exam. Everyone tried to make me feel better about it by saying things like "I guarantee that you're more prepared than anyone else because they haven't started studying yet." Them failing isn't going to make my grade any higher! Even if the whole class fails the profs don't scale it so there's no point in relying on anyone else to raise my grade. The only thing I can really do is put faith into the fact that I've been to 95% of lectures, I've taken notes that I can read and somewhat understand, and I've read the textbook (well most of the chapters). I just really need fab5 and bio cult because we went through senior year together and I survived but only because of them. They know how I react to stress and I just can't control my emotions when I'm this freaked. My whole day has been dedicated to Blue Planet and unfortunately this is how my next couple weeks will be. I still have my theory and prac exams for Marine Palaeontology to study for. Luckily they're spread out so that I focus on one at a time. But that also means that I just stress out about one at time. Hopefully after the first exam I'll calm down because I'll be a little more comfortable with the idea of taking exams again.

I can't wait until tomorrow night though. Adam is taking me out clubbing because I haven't been out in a couple weeks and I will need to blow some steam off after Blue Planet is done. Next week friday I have a party to go to and then the Thursday after my exams are COMPLETELY done I'll be able to go CRAZY!! I need to get all the partying out of my system because I will have a tough semester when I go back to Skidmore. I can't wait to finish but I know that the end of exams is the signal to go home. I'm not ready to leave Australia. I belong here. I've always said that I couldn't stay in one place too long but I haven't been here long enough. I can't wait to come back for post grad. To all aussies/ANU international students (coughcough JD) reading this, you're my favorite people and have helped me to see through different eyes and I absolutely love that I can call you my friends. I won't ever forget what you taught me about life and about myself. I'll see you again (I'll make sure of it).

As for my Skidmore and Hawaii friends if you get the chance to visit Australia... DO IT!! This was the single most rewarding and worthwhile trip I've ever made in my life. I can't wait to tell you all my experiences when I return. I love Hawaii as much as I love Skidmore but ANU just stole my heart.

For the next few weeks I'll probably be crying. Don't take it personally. Stress, sadness, happiness, everything... it's all emotional for me. Keep a look out for updates on my last few drunken nights out :) laters!

What a week!

The semester finished way too quickly! Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday all feel like a blur. Wednesday my dance class was cancelled... thanks a lot Adam (jokes). Thursday I had the ENTIRE day off. Friday I studied for exams. That's pretty much all I can remember from each day. Saturday felt like a Sunday because I hadn't really done anything all week. It was also the day of Siobhan's birthday picnic. A ton of people got together and went down to the river by south oval and we all ate and had a good time. It was the perfect way to end my last week of classes in Australia :'( James, Cam, and Joe were climbing trees. Paige and Michael occasionally climbed it with them. Fergus tried to capture a bird with a laundry basket, a stick, and chips. We danced and made fools of ourselves. It was just so much fun. Unfortunately, on my way back from the picnic to my room I got hurt. It wouldn't be a Chelsey Day if I hadn't. First I stepped on a twig and part of it broke off while it was still in my skin which is why I had to leave to begin with. Then on my way UP the stairs to my room I twisted my ankle. I've had bad ankles since senior year because I sprained it and danced on it for the concerts. I never really healed from it. So I'm back in my ankle brace because it still hurts (hasn't hurt this long before). After dinner (which was DISGUSTING) it was time for 2H's Halloween party :) There was such a great turn out compared to recent tim tam nights... granted half the people there weren't 2H ressies. We ate lollies and popcorn and chips (more junk food) and watched The Boat that Rocked. It was a pretty good movie. I had such a nice time chilling with new friends. Steve and I got into a bit of a lollie fight. It started with Zemma throwing all kinds of food at us (like monkey brains!!) and then I decided to throw an m&m at Steve because he was sitting on the floor in front of me. We threw the same m&m throughout a good portion of the movie too. We tried to get Lauren to get in on it but she threw it into the rubbish bag... Angus and Tash kinda joined in a little but they were on the other side of convo. At the end of the night I went back to my room and watched Friends.

Sunday morning I woke up and studied for a while. I felt kinda sick. I was dizzy and tired. So after reading through three chapters in the Blue Planet textbook I decided I needed a break. So I looked up some stuff for my essay for Violence and Terror. I didn't get very far because I somehow turned on my computer and pushed play for Friends again. Let's just say that I stopped studying for the afternoon. I went to lunch and of course it was disgusting again but I was feeling sick so I went back up to my room after about 5 mins of being outside. I couldn't eat all day because everytime I did I felt like I was gonna just throw it back up. I watched Friends for a few hours and then went back to studying. Then I realized that I hadn't updated my blog in a while so I turned my internet on and realized it was time for dinner. I didn't really feel like eating but I figured I should at least try. I got dinner and ate half of it (better than I expected). Then I studied more and forgot about my blog :( I talked to Angus and Adam on facebook for a little while but Adam went to sleep and Angus wasn't really talking to me plus my computer was overheating and making my room wayyyyyy too hot. I turned my computer off and fell asleep around midnight.

This morning I woke up five times starting from 6am. I couldn't get back to sleep without stupid dreams, none of which I can remember now, so I finally got up around 8:30. I really need to work on my V&T essay today because I focused so much energy on studying Blue Planet yesterday. I plan on having it done by Saturday. My exam is on Friday so I'll have all of Friday after my exam to focus only on this but I'm also going out on Friday so we'll have to see about this time table-ing I've got going on for me. Hopefully I won't stress too much because those of you who know me know that I get REALLY bitchy when I stress. Well, bitchy/moody/isolated/sick. So let's try to keep me happy then alright :) ALRIGHT! Until then I'll be studying. See Yea!!
