Happy Birthday

So yesterday was my birthday. Didn't turn out too fabulous. I didn't get the cake I wanted, didn't get what I wanted, but that's okay. My parents suck at presents. My mum bought be jamies the other week, and forgot to give them to me yesterday...I still don't think she has remembered.
My mum has no idea what sort of things I'd really like, and usually ends up getting little stuff that's kinda useless and takes up space. Occasionally they get me nice things.
Well....my dad never gets me anything actually...I bet he doesn't even know what it is they are giving me. But not that it really matters anyways.

I also have a cold this week. So my hearing and breathing are all messed up. Which is no fun at all. I didn't feel like going out to dinner, so we just ordered pizza from a place a little bit fancier than where we normally go. The pizzas were huge!
Mum forgot about a cake...as usual, so she got a mud cake from safeways...it was okay I guess. It tasted good at least.
My Grandparents came over in the arvo, and gave me some money for my birthday. I went and put it in the bank today. I think I'm probably going to buy some nice jewellery with it.

I also have finally gone for a drive by myself. I drove over to Jacinta's on Tuesday for a movie day. Then I drove up to the bank today in Scott's car. -I hate his car...it's dirty, and he doesn't stupid things to it that make it complicated to drive.....who puts on a wheel lock?! ...AND one of those other weird wheel locks. -No one's gonna steal the car!!!
Oh well.

I can drive, I can drive, I can drive!

...okay, now I have 'we can fly...' from Peter Pan in my head. lol

But today I finally went for my drivers test, and got my P's! yay! I had a great instructor who taught me how to do everything...much much better than the one I had way back when I first started driving.
Today was raining, but while I was doing the test, it stopped. lol. I felt the test went really quick, what was annoying was that we didn't go along any of the places that we'd normally practiced on. But it was all good. He made my do a reverse paralell park - which was the thing I was most worried about. But I must have done it okay, because I didn't loose any marks for it. :D I only lost 3 marks total, and they were unrelated to that. So now I have my shiny new P's...but I haven't gotten to take them out for a spin yet. So it doesn't really feel real yet.

While I'm very happy about it, I'm in just such a depressive mood this week. My stupid bed that was coming..arrived, but they gave us the wrong bloody slats and after 2 days of calling them, we finally found out that they have no idea where the proper slats are, and so I will have to wait 6 weeks for them to arrive from the overseas supplier! grrrrr. So at the moment I am sleeping on my old mattress on the floor.
Next week is also my 22nd birthday, I have no issue with the number, I'm just at the whole birthday depression stage I think. Everything is so focussed on Christmas, that it sorta feels like the birthday isn't really there. Plus my sister is driving me crazy, and I appear to have no job..not because they let me go, but because they are just not giving any shifts out. (and it appears its not just me...)
My mum's family decided to organise a Kriss Kringle this year, but instead of including everyone, they just included the parent generation, being my mum, her brother and their spouses. Which means that I still won't be getting a present. Which was part of the point in the first place, that everyone gets a present instead of just my sister, and my grandparents. Oh well. I guess I could always find my own Christmas thing to go to...or hang out longer with my cousins at my dad's family thing.

I'm sure I'll feel happier tomorrow.

Okay you don't drive the baby!

So while I was cleaning up my desk in my bedroom today, I found this post-it note with the phrase "Okay you don't drive the baby" written on it. Now I have no idea why I wrote this down. But I find it a very funny note. I'm guessing it was from a dream I had at some point. But anyways, I really liked it. No idea why you would want to drive the baby...but hey. Dreams are weird.

So.

Don't drive the baby!

Looking Pretty!

Today I had my first ever manicure and pedicure. And my hands and feet feel and look so purdy! I have french tips on my nails, it looks cool yet strange. lol
My mum decided for us girls to get them done for my cousin Ben's wedding tomorrow.

I'm looking forwards to getting dressed up, and wearing my dressy, yet not overly formal dress. And I'm going to curl my hair up for a change. It's supposed to be cold and possibly raining though, which isn't good.

Today I had 3 assignments due. I was working on the essay for Media till 2:30ish, and then went to hand them all in around 3:30pm. The essay is pretty bad...but I tried my best and that's all you can do. The other assignments I finished yesterday. It's a huge relief having handed them in. A definate weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I have to edit my story for writing fiction and hand it in by 5pm Monday, but that's much easier. It's all my own imagination. :D
Then I have my last essay due next Thursday for History of Ideas. Then I'm done with assignments. I have one exam, for Media in Australia, which is on the 14th. I can't wait till that's all overwith!

All to report :D
