So too much has happened to really go into doing a day by day recount so here are the highlights in picture form.
BUT FIRST, a luvo for good measure:
Going back to while I was still doing prac, I got tim his New Rock boots for his 21st except I got no good pics at all:
Wed 11th May 2011
I got really annoyed at him that day but he made it better lol. Ended up sitting on a park bench talking for ages and then ended up at CBar which had $5 cocktails on that night XD
Stonegrill + Pirates of the Caribean:
Mon 23rd May 2011
We went to go see the movie but got hungry and decided on food, I somewhat stupidly suggest stonegrill. I forgot that it's one of those retarded restaurants where you have to cook your own food. DUMB. Except it was nice cooking my meat just how I like it....but a rip off and the sides/sauces were increadibly bland. The movie was meh, I felt like it lost track of it's purpose at some points, like why was he tagging along in the first place.
Dancing performance Friday 27 May 2011:
Joely showed up, pulled on my earrings and made my ear bleed =D
Visually impaired theatre performance work Fri/Sat 27-28 May 2011:
Twas fun, i really like working there and the play was funny and the director was actually kind of inspiring in a way. Plus I got to see Rhannia and on the sat night got to hang out at Nat's place for a bit, i can't remember who was there or what we did really other than warren, sonjae, dave and nat were there, maybe lana too and they tried to teach me how to play pool.
The week of 30 may-5June was mostly spent being a loner and occasionally studying for exams. Thursday the 2nd was my 2 yr anniversary with Tim so we hung around the city looking at the light displays set up for Vivid Sydney. Twas a crappy night lol but he made it better by feeling guilty =D haha
Sat 4th June: Ryan and Doungy's 21st/22nd party. Full of boys, mainly azn, really good potatoes.
Monday 6th June: UWS newgrad open day with my aunty. wed 8 and fri 10 june: exams
Sat 11 June 2011: Kurt's 21st!!
...so lol that was fun, got a LITTLE bit drunk *cough* tim proved how much of an amazing boyfriend he was =]
I wanted to do my hair like this but didn't get round to it:
I was really diggin that tiara
Now this is when things get blurry, tots can't remember dates and what i did but ,om/fri 13/17 june i had my last 2 exams.
Oh and Monday 13 june 2011 I went to see Super 8 with stef and ate at a cafe in wetherill park.
Comic Strip Sat 18 june 2011 I went to go see a burlesque show. SERIOUSLY AMAZING. the music, the costumes, the girls. BRILLIANT. much better than the other ones Ive seen.
Monday 20 June 2011: I had my first nursing interview. scaryyyy, and I had to go out and buy clothes, such a pain and I felt retarded:
don't mind the face =.=
Friday 24 June 2011: stef mitch and aly came over. Tim too at some point and we made muffins...poorly but they tasted alright ^.^
Speaking of muffins, I have gotten a little obsessed lately:
As for last night, that deserves a post all on its own after I go see Warren and his broken-ness ergh ={
I REALLY don't want to blog right now but I feel like if I don't right now I run the risk of never going back to it **SHOCKHORROR**
I feel really antsy right now, I had a few of the girls over this arvo and they left around 9pm and I just want to leaveeeee. I want to go somewhere! Dance, get drunk, talk to strangers *twitch*
Stef was telling me about her night at Hot Damn! last night and it made me miss it so much, maybe I should have gone with her instead of choosing to sit in the dark in my room playing iphone games. wtf is wrong with me =S
I could be in the city right now with warren ={ ohhh well =( i guess I'll just wait for tim to swing by after work *sigh*
Yes, I am on a train! This blog should probably change it's name to the train diaries since that's almost the only time I post. Oh wells, hopefully some less transient blogs when exams finish =}
I'm on my way to my first one, Bio. Yesterday I was kinda ugh 'going to fail for sure' I don't have a clue what's going on and decided to procrastinate by figuring out how much I needed to score on this exam to pass the unit. Turns out my progressive score means I already passed XD so ...lol I didn't study very hard after that. I know I'm not going to get more than 20% on this exam even if I'm lucky but doesn't matter =D as long as I pass. Mediocrity at it's finest.
On the other hand I have an exam Friday that I need to get at least 70% on to pass the unit =S ergh. To be honest I was half welcoming failing again because it means delaying future pracs and eventually the newgrad program. I so don't feel ready. How the hell am I meant to be competent enough by March next year to work unsupervised. Ergh.
Anywho. Then next week 2 more exams and I'm set =} then I finally get proper time off for THREE whole weeks! I'm also going to the snow with Tim's family, uly, Katie and Jamie. I've already payed for some of it and miraculously managed to save up for pretty much the whole trip. Oh the things I could do if I had consistent work lol. Not looking forward to it that much though but only because I'm an unco cluts and will most likely fail at snowboarding. Plus it seems like a lot of money for something I would never do otherwise. It's cold, depressingly White and involves a great deal of physical activity and lack of rest. For me holidays or road trips should fall under two categories: relaxing or 'let's get wasted'. This falls under neither and is more of the whole adventure holiday. Bleh. The more I think about the money the more I think I could be going to Fiji or Bali for the same amount and doing something I actually want to do. Oh well, maybe I'll actually like waking up at 6am every day, being thrown out into the cold and made to cary a heavy board all day long and attempt to go down a mountain and have to go up again...for 10days. Tim's family goes every year, it's what he looks forward to all year so maybe I'll like it.
BAH! We're so different, I really did try to get into Doctor Who. I watched all of last season, this season and seen a few from previous seasons but I've just about given up. It's SO boring! I don't get the shows form of suspense. All the big shocker moments go over my head while Tim and his friends are all in disbelief, having had their worlds momentarily rocked and staring at me like I "have no soul" (to quote them directly). It's frustrating. It's a stupid show =.= and I'm just not invested in any of the characters enough to give a shit to what happens to them. I understand the feeling of having those 'yell at the screen' moments with different tv shows but I haven't ever come close with doctor who. To me, the characters just don't have enough of a human aspect to them to relate to them in any way. I don't understand their motivation so it just feels like a show whereas other tv shows become so immersive that you know exactly how you would fit into that reality. It made me think that maybe I just don't like sci-fi and fiction but that's not totally true, I like Supernatural and True Blood. The characters in Doctor Who are just so flimsy.
Ick.
So I don't think I'll have time to make muffins this week ={ I made double choc last week with this weird icing on-top where I had to melt chocolate, add full cream and add it to buttercream icing. They didn't taste or look good so I didn't bother taking pics.
You know, I didn't sleep at all last night but I'm not tired. I was in bed but I couldn't get to sleep. I had ONE cup of coffee yesterday when I woke up and I got all crazy hyper and kinda strung out. It was shit, I felt sick to my stomach, frazzled and couldn't focus. That normally doesn't happen to me...not with coffee at least, not ever. Guess I won't be having coffee for awhile =.=
I think I'm going to be late to the exam *sigh* not more than 10mins but still. I hate walking fast lol. It's a 30min walk to the exam centre but I'm not getting to central till 8:40. Oh well, i've been almost an hour late before lol. I was lucky they let me in, not that I tried very hard. I was hoping they wouldn't let me in so I wouldn't have to sit the exam. Lol... They're meant to close the doors after 30mins I think.
Geh. Anywho looking forward to the break, Kung Fu Panda2 XD and seeing more of my friends. It's difficult to balance things out properly. Some people think I spend too much time with Tim and choose him over everyone else but it's not really like that at all. He's just more convenient, I see him more than anyone else because he tends to come visit me after he finishes work but that's only for an hour and that's at like midnight. Other times I'm coming home from the station and he's on my bus route so it's just easy. It's not like it's quality time or anything lol...we don't go out a whole lot and when we do it's sorta set events like birthdays so it tends to feel like a bit more of an obligation to go than something fun to do.
I'd like to hope that when I have a car and more free time that I would go out of my way to spend time with people but at the moment I rarely do because it is just that. An effort. It involves trains and buses and money I don't have. I rarely spend money, Tim tends to shout me if we go out to eat but we don't very often and I'm trying to pay for myself from now on and when I do go to pubs/bars in the city when I meet up with him after class I never drink because it's too expensive. So cut me some slack! I don't hate you all. I promise I'll get around this break and try to see you all at least once.
So I feel like a shitty rude person. I got on the train and sat in the carriage with the doors because I'm lazy and some guy sat opposite from me and started talking. I really couldn't be bothered but at least he wasn't a total creep. I felt guilty for having almost no questions to ask him so it turned into him interviewing me and since I had nothing to ask him I rambled on and on about nursing. Then we would run out of things to say and he would need time to think of more questions so there was this awkward silence. Ugh. That wasn't really the rude part, I was pleasant enough but then we got to lidcomb and I got up and said, 'i read if I swap here it's 10min faster' so I walked to the door and just left... And we were both going to the same station so I felt even worse. I hope he doesn't think I switched trains just to ditch him...coz I didn't but it was a welcome byproduct =D
Beh.
Anywho. I'm on my way to meet Tim in the city =D today is our 2 year anniversary so Im making him Come with me to see Vivid. I'm really excited, it started in Sydney 2 years ago, right whn we first started dating and I wanted to go so badly. But Tim was an ass and cancelled on me like twice last minute that year and cancelled on me again last year lol so this is my chance! Finally to see those stupid lights =.=
But I'm pretty excited, mostly for the fire show at the Rocks XD
We're also getting dinner at some point and yis =}
I have a catchup blog to do but I'm not bothered right now.
So one day I was hanging out with Kurt and we realised that there are some pretty wacky sayings in the spanish language.
Each Spanish speaking country has their own sayings, metaphors and similies but these are a few that I have collected over the last year or so.
Every time I hear my mum or grandma say a new one I text Kurt XD It has become somewhat of a little tradition for me now =]
Saying: La negrita astuta vende fruta.
Direct Translation: The (Astute, cunning, sly, crafty, fraudulent) cute/little black girl sells fruit.
Meaning: This saying is said as a sort of warning that you are/someone else is a cocktease
Saying: No calientes el agua (si no vas a tomar té)
Direct Translation: Don't heat the water if you're not going to drink tea
Meaning: This is also a sort of warning to someone who is being a cocktease. Kind of like, don't flirt and lead someone on if you have no intention of hooking up with them. It is also a play on words because in Spanish (Chilean at least) the word calentar (to heat) is also used informally as a way to say 'make horny'. So 'estoy caliente' = I'm hot BUT it means I'm horny. If you wanted to say I'm hot (because of the weather) you would say 'tengo calor'
Tongue Twister: Tres tristes tigres trigo trillaron tranquilos tragaron
Translation: Three sad tigers, wheat they threshed (To separate the grain from the straw or husks by mechanical beating), calmly they swallowed.
Tongue Twister:Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira pobre pintor portugués pinta paisajes por poca plata para pasar por París
Translation: Pedro Pablo Pérez Pereira poor Portugese painter paints landscapes for little money to pass through Paris.
Saying:Buscarle la quinta pata al gato
Direct Translation:To look for the 5th leg of the cat
Meaning: Looking for problems when there clearly aren't any in that situation, so you're over thinking it and overcomplicating yourself.
Saying: Para ser bella hay que ver estrellas
Direct Translation: To be beautiful you have to see stars
Meaning: I'm guessing this is a fairly old saying because my grandad said it to me once, I kind of fell in love with this little rhyme/mantra. It means that no pain is too great to endure in order to look your best, this particularly refers to women having to wear painful shoes (stilettos) because it makes their legs look hot, wearing tight clothing to show off curves, waxing, plucking, dying hair, and I suppose nowadays you could extend that into getting cosmetic surgery. Just to clarify, my grandad wasn't a dick, I remember the saying coming up because we were watching a show with really attractive women and I was in awe of them and he explained that constructed superficial beauty comes at a price =) Oh and if you don't get the imagery, it's based on seeing "stars" when you hit your head/get dizzy, like if you've ever seen the cartoon representation of stars around the head when they get hit.
*To be continued
