PHEW!
assignment = all done. i don't want to dwell on whether i did good or bad because that would just ruin the peaceful frame of mind i'm trying to create. i've just chowed down a gargantuan subway salad, pocketed some cash from babysitting, lined up australia's next top model to watch and have lolita to read, so i'm happy right now. wish dafydd was back though.
tomorrow i'm gonna do what i've felt like doing for a while - cook and bake! gonna make a surprise dinner for dafydd when he gets home, his favourite, RIBS. i don't really dig on the swine, but i'm trying to surprise him and he loves that shit. annnd i'm also gonna make heaps of cinnamon buns for everyone, parents, their friends that are staying with them, us, other peoples, everyone! i saw the most amazing recipe yesterday: NUTELLA RAVIOLI. will def. be making that sometime. also, this weekend i'm going fabric shopping! yay exam week = heaps of sewing. i have so many ideas and patterns thanks to my patternmaking evening class. also, next week i'm going to start doing heaps of exercise. because i finally have time!! yayayay.
badness = today, once all the stress wore off i realised i was coming down with a cold. i've attacked it with multivitamins and healthy foods, and i'm gonna add heaps of rest tonight to the mix. have not been sleeping well this week, due to assignment TERROR. it was the hardest thing i've ever done. SO EXHAUSTING. but i still love linguistics, so whatevs. i'm a nerd.
also, can't wait to wash my hair tonight as haven't done so all week. grotty, i know, but it looked alright somehow. clean and fresh!

i'm loving the hell out of that song, at the moment.
STRESSFUL
WEEK.
not only that, but stressful weekend to come, and stressful week thereafter. i'm so sick of the stress. today i had my spanish oral test, and i had to get up early to drive Dafydd to the airport. i then went back to sleep, but it was a bad idea because i woke up for the second time groggy and tired. ORAL TEST = FAIL. i'm not exaggerating, it was that bad. i had to ask her to repeat most of the questions, think i completely misunderstood one and answered wrong, then she caught me out of the blue by asking what i think of the hispanic culture and hispanic people. WTF??? everyone before me had been asked about what they like and don't like, and i get this general i dont even know how to answer in english question. yeah, i said "i don't know". en espanol. it was excruciating. the only thing that made me feel better was that my study partner Sarah went straight after me and she also got the hispanic question and also faltered. phew. but i felt so prepared, and now feel like shit. i'm not doing spanish next semester. i was thinking about dropping it, but now i've decided.
i have an assignment due in on thursday for linguistics. a phonology assignment that's going to take up most of my time this weekend. i really need to get a good mark, and it's gonna require a lot of work. which really sucks, because there's so much on this weekend including Supitcha visiting from Melbourne, but i just really have to take the time to do it. it's important. i need to get my grades up up up to get into Speech and Language, and i know i can do it if i make the time. other things will have to wait.
i am DREAMING of it being thursday now, assignment done (to the point where i'm 100% satisfied i did my best), no more classes, apart from spanish on friday, which i will SKIP because i don't give a shit.
i sound like the world's biggest nerd in this post :( i just need to get my nerd-mode on for a few days. then i'll definitely be letting my hair down/glasses of in a sexy porn-music montage. party time

| bagged myself a bargain...potentially |
[05.26.09] |
so i got a bag of crap. not literally, although there are copious amounts of that around ever since we got evil naughty cat Penny. buuut, i mean this:
from http://www.1-day.co.nz/ apparently it can be worth anything from $11 to $500. i am unbelievably excited to see what i get! i hope it gets here by the end of the week. my boyfriend got one too, and i SURE HOPE mine outdoes his! muahahahaha!

| soundtrack of my life |
[05.26.09] |
i have been listening to mainly soundtracks lately. i find them to be like a little mixtape and even if you haven't seen the accompanying movie they are a pleasure. dependant on the soundtrack, though, i'm sure there are tons of horrible ones out there. i think tarantino's movies come with the most bad ass soundtracks ever. so good. i love so many things about tarantino, but his soundtracks are up there and never disappoint.
some of my current favourites above. share yours, and why you love them so much.

| make-up tips post? |
[05.17.09] |
make-up tips. i needs them.
i know how to apply concealer and foundation properly, lipstick's alright but there are two things that make me gulp, shudder and run away.
1. blush. i can never get the right amount of blush. either i can't see it at all, or i can see it and there's HEAPS. i know to put it on the apples of cheeks, but i can never get it to look right. so: help. brands, colours, etc..
2. eyeliner. the only eyeliner i can wear is a line of black liquid on my upper eyelid. but i want to get a smoky eye look and i want to try wearing liquid liner on my bottom eye lid. IT IS SO HARD. or am i just too gammy to pull it off? i tried just now, and this is the result:
it looks like i should belong to a bad makeup community!!! :(
i have tried doing the pencil lower eyelid (and upper, which is fine, but the lower is the problem) and it always makes my eyes look teeny-tiny. how do you girls do it?

this is what i want my pandora bracelet to look like. so far i only have the four beads in the middle
( because it would stretch out your f-list, i shall be kind and lj-cut this shit )
phew, i feel pretty f-mylife today. because spanish is SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF ME RIGHT NOW. i have 2 chapters of vocab to learn for my test on friday, and that means TWO CHAPTERS of fucking writing it out and memorising and writing things out a million times. my hand, head, and soul are aching from the process. i'm trying to do spanish language immersion for the poor spanish student who can't actually go to spain by setting my cellphone settings on spanish. i am one confused texter. i have a lot of study to catch up for lingyling too.
BUTTTT good academic news: (make that potentially good academic news) i am seeing an academic advisor next week about my chances of getting into speech and language therapy. basically i'm gonna finish my degree next year and if there is a chance of getting into SLT i'll take some required courses this and next year, then hopefully get into the professional year in 2011. yay, three more years of study. wut. :( SAD PANDA. but yay, speech and language therapy!
this will b me. i hope i can be as dowdychic.

here's the kitty at play. she's quite hyper sometimes, and i think she has too much energy because she isn't allowed outside yet... another hinderance of that is the fact that she still has to use the kitty box, and she makes the most UNGODLY smelling poop. seriously, it is sooo bad. and because we changed from her eating jelly food to "casserole" style food, she's been having quite runny poop too. SMELL BAD. yuck.

| NEW CAT!! |
[05.03.09] |
We adopted a cat from the cats protection league today.
her name is Peony (that's the name the staff there gave her). i really like the name, peonies are my favourite flowers, but my boyfriend wants to call her something else and my flatmate wants to call her smirnoff :/
little meow meow!
