Reining It In

So not a whole lot has been going on. I've started getting 1 shift a week, 3 hours, which equals about $50 a week. -That's not really enough to live on....but I really will keep looking for new jobs. -I just wish Uni was over already, that would make things easier.

I've been thinking a lot about the way my family acts lately. Their behavior is very annoying most of the time. My dad is a selfish pain, who has the maturity of a small child. -That is a family trait. All the males in his family act like little children, have no believable authority, and like the stir everybody up and think anything annoying or teasing is funny. It drives me insane.
Both my parents have weird senses of humour. They don't understand smart humour, and act like children all the time. I don't know if its because I'm the oldest and have this sense of duty....(okay slight off-track ref to WW....moving on), I have a more grown up attitude, or because of my education or something....but they drive me crazy.

Their people skills are also really annoying. They complain about everyone else, then do similar things themselves! Grrr.


Okay this is my venting for the day....week...month...whatever :)

Close to the End

So I have a total of 2 weeks left of this semester of uni...this semester which hopefully will be my 2nd last semester ever! I'm a little overwhelmed with all the stuff I have left to do this semester, though, most of which is due next week...some of which is due later. I am however feeling a little better prepared for my exam now. -The practice tests have helped, and I think I understand the theory/theorists pretty well now, which is good.

The whole job search isn't getting very far. I can't really afford to look at anything full time or long term, cause I still have that one semester of uni left. I am getting a few more shifts than I was, but still....50 bucks a week ain't gonna go far.

I'm also DYING to go to New York and see 9 to 5 on Broadway. I'd love to see Allison Janney on stage, but also the show just looks awesome, and the music is already stuck in my head...Wicked style. I don't quite have enough to go....even for a few days....maybe if I just hope enough something will happen. -But I'm not counting on anything.
Speaking of Wicked....I'm totally depressed that its finishing its run in Melbourne in August and moving to Sydney! -I guess I should be happy that its only moving, and not ending ending. Ness and I will have to make a trip to Sydney to see it once.

Also...I'm a little stressed with trying to figure out what kind of job I'm going to do next year once I've finished uni....its hard to find anything listed that doesn't need years and years of experiance. I'm sure I'll find something....I HAVE to find something.

If I could fly I would!

So I have known that Allison Janney was doing the 9 to 5 musical for a while now. I knew it was coming to broadway this year, and yet didn't get myself organised enough to go over and see it. -Now if I had been earning enough I probably would have actually planned to be there right now, so I could see it, and also Lauren Graham in Guys and Dolls.....but I barely have enough for the plane trip there at the moment.

It's been driving me crazy all week. I'm dying to see it with every fibre of my being.....I'll definately have to get the soundtrack either way. ....now if only I can come up with some way to get me (and Ness...cause she might kill me if I went without her :P ) there.

-anyone got a few free grand to send us over to New York for a couple of days to see 9 to 5, give me a yell!


oh and now I'm also really depressed that Wicked is ending its Melbourne run and moving to Sydney in August! WAHHHHHHHH
