Bored!

It's still 2 weeks till Christmas, and I still have months of holidays left before Uni starts up again.

I'm already really bored! I'm going to start painting the front end of the house soon...I hate feeling idle. I need to be doing something. I've been watching dvds, but I tend to find I need to be doing something else as well during that time. Sometimes I play solitaire, or read the paper, other times I just sorta roam about doing odd cleaning here and there.

Today is the 12th and I totally forgot about it till 4pm, but I went and found the camera and have taken my pics for today. I will post them tomorrow morning.

I am my sister's taxi-driver!

Firstly I want to make the comment that apparently I need new underwear, because when washed and sorted ended up in my sister's room....and she wore it. How rude!

Anyways....
yesterday I had to take my sister, her friend Charlotte, and two boys from their class to Chadstone to go bowling. Apparently it wasn't really a 'date' thing...but still...
So while they bowled, I did a little shopping -with a few check in's every now and then. The drive home was quite noisy, and when we got back here it got even worse. By the end of the day I had quite a headache. But at least the kids (12 is still a kid if you ask me) were pretty well behaved, and did what I told them too, when necessary. I'll just say one thing......kids are weird! They kept saying these weird things all the time.

I will do it again if I must....but my sis is gonna have to start being real nice to me!

A Whole Load of Stuff!

Ages ago I posted about this quote I had written down on a post it..."Okay you don't drive the baby." I had no idea where it was from. Ness sent me an email recently, and it ended up being from Studio 60! And when I was at her place on Friday night we watched the scene it was from...and it didn't seem so memorable...but I guess it was just weird at the time! lol

Speaking of going to Ness', I actually drove down there in Mum's car. It was a pretty easy drive, even though it was busy cause of peak hour. I know the way really well too.
I've been driving around a bit now. I've driven "Scott's" car a few times too, and finally got Nikki to come with me.

So today I finally got my copy of the letter my doctors at the RCH sent to the people at Peter Mac, and it was weird and also interesting. lol. A whole lotta medical speak...of which I could understand about half to three quaters of. Of course there were words that I just recognised from all my medical tv shows...but had no idea of what they actually meant! haha!
But at least I know that I have been taken care of and will be having check ups in the future.

I also got one of my essays back today. I got a credit, which isn't bad seeing as it was History of Ideas which I hardly understood 'cept for the evolution part. He said my essay was "too fatalistic". Geeez louise! Well the topic was transhumanism....and all that cryogenics crap and whatever! Anyhoo....
At least I know I've passed the subject. I've still got 2 more things to come back. And I think results come out soon too.

Last night I also went to see Nikki in her school concert. For some silly reason she didn't try out for a speaking part, but what she did was good anyways. The kids that were the main mains were really good. But people that are not really fond of little kids would really really hate it. I loved it, the little ones were so cute I could have eaten them up! -It did make me miss my old dancing/performing days......

oooo I went shopping yesterday and ended up buying the 2 things that I didn't get but realy wanted for my birthday. I used some birthday money to buy a new pair of thongs, hot pink Havaianas, and almost all the money my Grandparents gave me to buy a silver bracelet from Tiffany & co. It's so purdy..and goes with almost everything.....'cept my daggy at home casuals.

Not much else planned yet. I've got 3 hours and 15 minutes of work this weekend....which is better than nothing. Luckily I am earning some money in interest on my bank accounts.

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
