I just had a chat with Rob on MSN (since he’s still in Maine, US) about stuff and about our trip to Japan next year. He thinks he wont have enough money saved to make it and that $3,000NZD won’t be enough. He may be right - I’m just trying to save as much as possible. I’ve already thought of this and have been saving like a maniac incase I need to loan him some money. I have no problem with loaning him money as he’s always paid me back and I’d rather he came and we had the experience together than he missed out. I’ve saved $1,200NZD in the last month!! I really want to go!

But yeah now.. that conversation.. I dunno.. I just feel ‘bleh’. I know he didn’t mean to upset me. Maybe I need an early night?

I have a mega headache now I haven’t done much work at all this afternoon. Don’t know what’s wrong with me. My ‘time of the month’ is due anyday - damn it - maybe that’s it? Time for a neurofen.

On the way home from work tonight, in the shitty, jam load of traffic I was hunting through my CD holder trying to find something worth listening to. When I came across Britney Spears’ first album. I thought what the hell - it may relax me in this traffic. So I stick it in the CD player.. straight into the first song. Woohoo!! I can sing to this one. Hit me baby one more time…. Singing away is really starting to relax me. I start thinking of the good ol’ High School years when this song was top of the charts.
Back then I’d stroll to school, leaving the house 20 minutes before I had to be there and always making it in time. My Britney Spears CD playing in my CD walkman and having no cares in the world. The only issues I had to worry about was if I’d have enough money to buy something at the tuck shop and that I’d handed my assignment in on time. School work was so easy - you never had to spend any time on it! Only took half an hour to produce an essay.
It’s hard to believe that was my life only four years ago. Time is flying by! I’ve decided I need to achieve something every year. Otherwise my life is going to fly by and I’m going to feel like I’ve done nothing! This is something I thought of when I decided to go to University fulltime, I knew this was the best time in my life to do it and it meant I’d be achieving things daily! Passing all my papers is definitely an achievement each year.
So tomorrow I have Uni in the morning and work in the afternoon.. so I will be stuck in traffic again tomorrow evening. But one thing I can do when I get home now.. that I wasn’t allowed in High School…a glass of wine!

I finally saved up enough money to get my hair highlights re-done!! Yay! It looks so much healthier and nicer after a colour and cut.
The best news it that she only charged me $55!!! Last time I went she charged me $90, I’m not sure why I got it so much cheaper. :confused: But no complaints from me at all!

I’m loving being back at Uni. So far the subjects are reasonably easy and I’m enjoying it the student lifestyle again.

Today my sister Allie and I decided we’d try out some recipes. We’re making Wonton Soup with pork and shrimp wontons and some lemon cookies. :yum: The Wonton Soup is for dinner and the cookies for dessert. So hopefully they work out well. I’m using her camera to take photos - I don’t know when I’ll get them up, but I will try! I think she needs to find the damn software…

Check out my 43 things I’d like to achieve before I die. I only have a few at the moment.. but I will add to it!

That’s right… me! :dork: Some people came round our lectures today and talked about it, asking if anyone would like to volunteer. At first I was a bit iffy about it; but then they mentioned that you would get a certificate at the end and it will look good on your CV. So I thought I might as well get some more information on it.
As a student representative I will receive emails from other students in my Introductory to Financial Accounting paper (I decided to be a student rep for just one paper) with any issues, ideas or troubles they may have regarding the paper, lectureres, students or anything related to that paper.
I will also have to attend meetings for one hour a month with all the other student reps. We were told they would provide us with meals as well!! The meetings are held at the on campus bar, Evolution Bar.
A couple of other guys from my degree are also doing it, so I will know people! I also see this as a way of getting involved in my University. I don’t want to be one of those people who goes through their Uni life just turning up at lectures and not getting involved at all.
So this will be great! I will get a lovely certificate saying I volunteered and got involved and will also have the fun of being involved!
First meeting is Wednesday 2nd August. :thumbsup:

Well the title explains it all really. Back to the student lifestyle!! Shit I really can’t wait. These last four weeks of fulltime work have been every long and very exhausting! :sleep: But I’m just thinking of the money sitting in my savings account building interest. Hopefully I wont have to spend anything out of it and it’ll keep growing for Japan.
I’ve just realised I also need to buy a text book!! They’re so damn expensive :depressed: so that’s definitely going to cut into my savings.

I sent Rob an email just before, because I haven’t heard from him since Monday. I’m guessing he’s very busy. So I don’t wanna annoy him. But I thought an email would be good! Tell him what I’ve been up to the last week and anything that’s coming up!

Well that’s all I’ve really got, boring huh? Hopefully life gets a bit more exciting so intern my blogs do! lol

At least I can say it’s sunny here - maybe Winter is over? I hope so

Last night I had dinner with Rob’s family. Now of course I’ve had dinner with them tonnes of times! But last night was different… Rob wasn’t there. I will admit.. I was a tad nervous about an hour before. But once we all got there and sat down we were just laughing and talking the whole time. It was very relaxed and fun!

I love Rob’s family, they have a no-shit, no-stress policy! Unlike my own family who can be stressful sometimes… They are relaxed people. I love them!
