The past week I've worked a shitload!! my week consisted of:
Monday: study day
Tuesday: 9:00am Multimedia Technology exam, then work 5:45pm til 1:00am (7hrs 15mins)
Wednesday: work 5:00pm til 1:00am (8hrs) (sleep for 4 hrs then go back to work the next day)
Thursday: work 9:30am til 7:00pm (9hrs 30mins)
Friday: work 2:45pm til 10:00pm (7hrs 15mins)
Saturday: Reece comes up Friday night, so Saturday is a bum around day, catch up day
Sunday: Reece leaves when I go to work. Work 3:00pm til 11:15pm (8hrs 15mins)
So that's a total of 40.25 hours. No wonder I'm sick as a dog!!
I was going to get a haircut with Brooke this morning but our hairdresser canceled on us, so I went to the doctor instead, after a 3 hour nap. It was crazy because I never sleep during the day!
I went to the doctor and she gave me some drugs, because as I'm flying to Sydney on Friday, I really don't want to get an infected ear like I always do when I'm sick. So I've started taking those now, so hopefully I'm right for Friday.
Apart from doing nothing today, I've found this new site -- kind of like eBay, but with handmade and vintage goods. It's called Etsy. So I found my outfit for our Mexican party next weekend: so that's gonna rock. and it's even from Mexico! Yay!
On this site I found a few more things that I'm interested in, as well as finding my old favourite from Free People. Of course Free People don't ship to Australia so I'm left here being sad over this beautiful dress. I'm thinking I just take a good look at the pictures and try to make it myself with the help of a few people.
Anyway the other things I found that I like are:
- A little purse
- Dress -- from France
- a sexy red dress
- Bluebell earrings -- for Brooke, they would totally suit her.
And of course I've been staring at my Free People dress all day. If anyone would like to buy it for me and send it to me in Australia it would be much appreciated. I will pay you back via PayPal!!
So that is my internet surfing for the day. Oh! And I found the most amazing cake I have ever seen here:
So this coming week consists of:
Monday: 2:45pm Doctor's appointment. Ellie's 15th birthday.
Tuesday: work 9:30am til 6:00pm. Kellie's 18th birthday also, not going back to Geelong in order to get better for the weekend.
Wednesday: work 6:00pm til 12:30am. nothing planned during the day.
Thursday: Work 11:30am til 5:30pm, travel back to Geelong and get organized to fly to Sydney the next day. Leave Pie at parents place. Stay at Reece's.
Friday: Arrive AT LEAST half an hour to check in for the 6:30am flight to Sydney. Maybe go to Sydney Aquarium?
Saturday: Sydney - 3:00pm see recording of Good News Week.
Sunday: 7:30pm flight back to Melbourne - Avalon. Get Pie and go back to Melbourne for 9:30am class on Monday.
Pie has been going crazy lately too -- she's been getting very affectionate, and because of this I can't cut her nails because she won't sit still! Here's some photos of her craziness...
In other news, there are 25 days to go til the Apple 3G iPhone is released in Australia!! Can't wait for this beauty =D
I think that's all the news for now, I'm just hoping I get better before Friday's adventures begin!
Let me know if you want to buy me a dress =D
back to uni it is...
I've been back for a whole week and I am exhausted.
I have four days of classes a week,
one hour monday
three hours tuesday
day off wednesday
five hours thursday
three hours friday
and then I've been working as well.
last week I did
monday 12 til 4 sapore (4:30 - 5:30 lecture in between) and 5:30 til 10 spudbar
tuesday day off
wednesday 12 til 5 sapore and 5:30 til 10 spudbar
thursday 5:30 til 10 spudbar
friday 5 til 8 sapore
so that equals 12 hours work at cafe sapore and 13.5 hours work at spudbar
on friday Reece drove up and picked me and Tom up from the station/safeway, and drove us home. I then had to go to Sapore to work, so he stayed in Camberwell for a bit and then came in when I finished up. We both bought new shoes from the Converse shop at the DFO (they're awesome!) then went to Lord of the Fries for dinner. Then caught a train back to Camberwell and drove home. Stayed up for a bit then went to bed.
Woke up on Saturday and got ready, went to the Pixar exhibition at Federation Square. It was pretty awesome! We saw all the sketches and drawings and research and casts of figurines that have to be done to be able to make these amazing 3D films they make possible and realistic.
We walked around for a bit and looked at the shop upstairs with merchandise, then went to some burger place and I had a burger and we shared some chips. not the best burger I've ever tasted. =S
Then as we were walking out of Fed Square there was a street performer, on a UNICYCLE! I had to watch. He was pretty funny too. He juggled knives and yelled a lot.
Then we went and got a slurpee from 7-11, and caught a tram home. It was bloody freezing, Mum said it was raining in Geelong so the rain was coming. We got home and I packed my things and we drove home basically. Picked up Tom on the way and then had KFC, bummed around at Reece's and then got a taxi into town.
First stop was Chief's, where we found Matt, Hudgy and a few other people. Tom got me onto Frangelico and OJ, tastes like orange chocolate. awesome =D Watched the band we watched a few weeks previously, with the middle-age singer thinking she's still about 15. yuk. Pretty dodgy guitar playing, but oh well. We spent most of the time outside.
Then Jess & Beck (and Gerard) met us at Chiefs, and we headed to Bended. We sat ourselves down in a booth and Jess, Beck & me had a few rounds of Frangelico & OJ. Then Jess got us a round of fruit tingles, tooo purpley for me. =S Drank half anyway.
Next stop was KFC, yes again. Reece had a burger and I had his large chips. Leigh and Glenn met us there and we watched the drunken idiots and the massive amount of chicken bones on the floor. yuk.
Tom wanted a kebab so he went and got one of those while we waited at the taxi rank. Waited for about 20 minutes before we got a cab because the line was so long! Got back to Reece's, and Tom continued on to Lara. Got into bed and went to sleep straight away I was that exhausted.
Woke up this morning and got out of bed and ready to go to Jess's for a spa!! Went home to get my bathers and also petrol for Reece, then out there. Spa was awesome, nice and hot on a cold day! Then came home and cooked chicken risotto for dinner as well as Mum's soup and pies.
Sorted out my lecture notes and now I'm going to bed. I'm getting my couch tomorrow, and my computer fixed then training it up to Melbourne for my 4:30 lecture then back home. Back to another working week without Reece. Even longer this time...a fortnight... because I'll have to work the weekend at Spudbar.
Another bout of torture. See you when I'm alive and functioning properly again.
