Changes Come With A New View

Hello Internet!

... I've been watching way too many danisnotonfire videos on YouTube. How do I know? That greeting. Totally not stolen from him... Nope! >.>
Next thing I know I'll be referencing IISuperWomanII, JennaMarbles, NigaHiga and/or all the other YouTubers I devotedly watch...

Anyways, hiiii! This past week hasn't been /overly/ eventful, though I do have a couple of things that have happened and have spurred inspiration for writing; and so, I will be blurting away tonight... This is also removing another procrastination option as I really ought to be doing my Anatomy and Ecology assignments due within a week of each other, over the next three weeks... And the Anatomy one is pretty damn big. Creating an animal is no easy task!

So, firstly... Live Below The Line is over! Finally! The last three days of the week were rather... Interesting having to deal with very little food. I got sick to the point where I would cut down even more on food so I could have a gulp or two of orange juice, or stock up on a bit of meat, just to get a bit of protein/vitamin in me to try kick the sickness as best I could. On Thursday, I had an Anatomy prac where we were looking at the digestive system of a sheep... Now... The week before we had looked at a pig, and I was completely fine with it! The smell was a bit deterring, but I was fine poking and playing with it and all that jazz. This week, the smell was nothing compared to the pig, and it wasn't much different to the week before... But this time was different... The fact that I hadn't eaten anything in four days and was ill, made dealing with the sight and smells of an animal's insides a lot more difficult. I apparently went incredibly pale, then turned a brilliant shade of green, before I left the room to stumble into the bathroom. Nothing happened! Don't worry... As soon as I left the room, I immediately felt better; but I did end up getting a fellow student to go back and grab my books for me, as I didn't want to risk walking back into the room and actually passing out or throwing up... I didn't know which one my body wanted me to do more, but I wasn't fond of either!

I found I didn't get much hunger pain during that week... Though that could be due to the illness taking most of my attention. But I did find a lot of fatigue and, I will admit, crabbiness... I am ashamed to say that I am a first world brat! I honestly admire those in third world countries after last week; because I don't know how they go about their lives so cheery and giving of themselves, no matter what predicament they're in! When I had my food intake severely reduced... Every day I got a bit snappier, bitchier, and sarcastic. Any little thing would irritate me a lot more than it should, and I felt fatigued all the time; which also ramps up my sassiness levels. Thankfully, LBTL ended before I got too bad... But I am still slightly ashamed of myself as a person for having that reaction. I mean, it did teach me a lot! It humbled me and made me aware just how hard it is to live a life like that, and that is the point of the week. But... It's never a nice thought to know what you turn into when the things you want won't, or can't, be given to you.

Nothing much happened last week until the Pitt fancy dinner on Friday night, calling the end of LBTL for us! I attempted to straighten my hair and look decent for the occasion, but my body thought against it as usual. I know I didn't look terrible... But did it have to have been raining that day and evening? It made the weather all humid, and hair-frizzifying (it's a word guys... I swear...) and yeah... I tried to have a good night, but it was a bit difficult I'll admit. There was recording for Pitt MTV which required a lot of telling university students to be quiet and things that... You really shouldn't need to do with uni students really, considering our ages... Then again... I just returned from the bathroom recently where the person who wrote up this week's Pitt notes spelt mascaraed, instead of masquerade... *Twitch* My internal grammar Nazi is not raging at all, nope.

It also turns out that a week of barely eating anything had already shrunken my stomach... As much as I wanted to eat a fair amount of food in celebration, I physically struggled eating more than the amount I had gotten used to eating! It's changed already over the past half week. I'm slowly getting my ravenous appetite back now that my body knows I can eat whatever I like again... Especially ice cream tonight for dinner! Yeee! ^_^

For those who have noticed, I have taken a bit of a different approach to the blog tonight... As much as it's still mostly about my life, what I do, and what I think about that... I'm gonna try not detail exactly what I do every single day... I find that it might be irritating to read, and I'd like to take this blog in a new direction... I do this blog out of my own personal enjoyment, and it's a way of expressing myself where I feel comfortable to do so. Because everyone knows I am a people-hating introverted autistic child who just like to vent all her problems out in a post where she doesn't have to see people's face when finding all this information out :P But yes... I'd like to start discussing things more on here. Sharing my opinion on things, and a more detailed view on particular events that may happen to me. I already have a couple of things I will be discussing a little further down that I mentioned before... And I'm just gonna try keep it up each week if possible!
Maybe some of you want to know what I think about certain topics or debatable issues in the world today..? Who knows! If you want to know ANYTHING at all, post it as a comment on the bottom of this blog. I will read it, and I will most definitely mention it in the next blog post I write. Or, if you know me in real life, tell me in person or Facebook or whatever. Preferably Facebook, or somewhere where I can note it down though... Cause I will forget :P

Anyways! Moving on to one of the topics I really do want to write about! *Ahem*

This week I finally went to a "chime" session for the first time! It's basically a session run each week by Student Life where a group of students come to talk about God, Christianity, etc... [Bestiality] came knocking by my room, and off we went! We were about 10 minutes early, but I didn't mind... I was both excited, yet terrified. As much as I am Christian now and all that jazz... I have almost always had negative experiences in my past with this religion, and some of the churches along with it. It's been pretty difficult getting over those hurdles and accepting to go to yesterday's chime session... But I really do want to work myself back to the point where I am willing to begin attending church again, and other places of worship; because I want to devote more time to Him!
The people there were absolutely lovely and the atmosphere was so relaxed and friendly... I loved it. After an ice breaker, we split into a couple of groups. [Bestiality] and I were with a Student Life leader looking at Soularium cards. I instantly fell in love with this concept. For those clueless... It's a kit of 50 picture cards and five question cards, not that you necessarily have to use the questions they provide... It's all played by ear. The guy asked us to pick a picture to represent how our week has been, how our spiritual journey has been so far, and what we want our relationship with Him to be like in the future. The awesome thing about this is... If anyone had asked those last two questions to me outright, I would've instantly frozen up and not known what to say. I would've felt cornered, and gotten stressed out... But, somehow, this method allowed me to answer the questions relatively effortlessly. Because... I picked a picture that stuck out to me, and I explained why that picture and how it relates. It was a lot easier than having to say the answers right out, that's for sure.

After having done that, we swapped round. [Bestiality] had an event to run, so she left; but I decided to stay for the next half session with a couple of girls. One being the runner of the chime sessions. She talked to us about role-playing as well as touched on evangelism... The girl I was with and I ended up asking a fair few questions, so didn't end up doing any role-playing; which I am relatively relieved about, not gonna lie... The prospect of role-playing daunts me at the moment. I don't feel as though I'm quite ready to do such a thing, and I don't know if I ever truly will... I will happily try it someday though, because I know it helps the learning process a lot. But, maybe not right now? Just... I really do feel quite clueless and lacking in knowledge when it comes to the faith right now; which there's nothing wrong with that! It means I have so much room to grow and learn... But it also means I'm very hesitant when it comes to trying new things currently, because I just don't know how I'll be with them.
I did find myself opening up and discussing recent traumatic events that have happened to me with the girl who runs chime... I guess I was just at the point where I had an opportunity to possibly find answers, or at least seek comfort, with fellow Christians and know that I wasn't going to be judged; which is all I ever want. We discussed how my hesitance to attending church can be perfectly understood, and she helped me by giving me ideas to try and get back on the path leading in that direction which is where I want to go. She offered bible study sessions each Wednesday night, but it can clash with the club nights depending on which night's I'm going... I was unsure as to whether or not I was going to the club tonight, so I didn't think of the study session; but it turns out that I didn't go, so now I kinda feel bad... But ugh! I really should be assignmenting anyway.

But yes! I found the chime session to be amazing for me. It was small, and simple. And I really really want a Soularium kit for myself! It could be a simple get-to-know people game for one... Doesn't even have to be Christianity related! General questions could be asked. Though, I would like to use it for it's true purpose as well... I'd like to use it to see where people are at with their journeys and how they feel about everything... If I was to have any technique when it comes to talking to people about Christianity and all that... It would definitely be through the use of those cards. It's gonna totally be my thing y'all. I wanna do it!

Okay... I'm gonna move on to the next topic now, but I can sorta do a transition because... What happened after chime literally links the two, cause it's awesome like that.

After chime I was walking and talking with a girl I met at uni the year before through choir. She was supposed to be a fellow choral member this year as well but never turned up... Yeah, I'm not gonna go into it; but yes! Fellow choral member! Anyways...
We ended up sitting outside a little away from the chapel where chime was held and talked for two hours... We're females! Do you expect anything less..? :P

So yes... We were talking about Christianity at first, seeing as we both had been at the chime session. We talked about our personal views on topics, as well as our thoughts on shallow minded people that can't be mature and accept that not everyone will agree with them and all that jazz... It was nice to have a friendly debatable conversation on issues like that. For instance, she is against gay marriage and I am not. She isn't against gay people... It's more her religious beliefs and views influence her views on what a marriage is and things like that. As I discussed with her... She made valid points, which I can see where she came from; but for me, it's different! At least she wasn't a complete homophobe! And she accepted that if gay marriage is to be allowed in Australia that she's not going to hate it. It doesn't affect her personally, so she can just allow it to be; but not bring attention to it, like any mature human should do really...

ANYWAYS! Back to the original point... 

We didn't stay on such topics for very long... We very quickly turned to a conversation that involved the both of us basically fangirling over our boyfriends... We caught up on how each couple met. First kiss, how long we've been together, all the usual sappy jazz... I swear, I'm not normally this cheesy and that... But, for some reason, when talking to her that day; I just became this excitable, giggly mess that was n'awwwing over everything her and her partner did and was receiving the same from her.
Is it age? Cause I swear... I used to be the biggest tomboy ever who thought I'd be forever alone, and would live in the forest with all these animals; and be an animal whisperer or something stupid... Basically, I was totally okay with not having a man in my life at that point. But, the older I've gotten the more girly I've gotten... And dependent! What happened?! Darn it all... And I guess since dating [K-Dawg] it's gotten chronically worse. 

Especially lately. I've been predominantly thinking about long-term relationship type things... Not with [K-Dawg] so-to-speak... Just in general. Like... I never really thought about weddings and marriage... Some girls have their dream wedding planned out by the age of 10 years old... I was just happy playing Crash Bandicoot and Spyro at that age... Now I'm almost double that age (ew, oldness...) and have only recently started pondering it... And you know what? I'm clueless! Utterly clueless! There is one thing I have always known, even as a kid... And that is that I don't want my wedding in a church or chapel. It might have to do with the fact that I wasn't religious when I made this decision... But I think it's more the fact that I want to be outside somewhere. The thought of being inside with a whole heap of people unsettles me... At least, if it were outside with the same number of people; it would seem so much more open, and I would be much more okay with it. Plus! You can get some wicked sights depending on where you have it... On a mountain overlooking a city? A beach with all the waves? And the sand... Which is a bit of a turnoff not gonna lie... Maybe not the beach... Ick. Anyways, you get my point!

Bringing [K-Dawg] into this now... It gets a fair bit worse, jus' sayin'... Never have I been so attached to a guy so quick, and for such a prolonged time either... I'm an easily set off person. It doesn't usually take much... And with previous relationships, it hasn't taken too long for my boyfriend at the time to tick me off; and for me to have partially snapped at them, or I took some time out away from them... But with [K-Dawg] that hasn't happened yet! I spend all week waiting for the weekend to arrive, then as soon as I'm heading back to uni; I'm missing it already and complaining to myself about how far away the next one is... I can't lie and say I'd have a good day if he hasn't messaged me at some point that day... It hasn't happened yet.. Thankfully! But, just saying... :P

I can't believe I'm admitting this stuff on the internet... Where has this blog gotten too [Miss Invisible]? Honestly! Embarrassing...
May as well continue I suppose. Can't get much worse! :P

I guess I'm just getting to that age where I want to start settling down and getting my life really together... At this rate, I am most likely going to be adding on another year of university so I can finish all the subjects without over-stressing myself... So what does that mean for me? Another year of putting everything on hold..? Is everything riding on my finishing the degree? If so... Yaaayyy... I really don't like that thought...
I honestly can't give you a specific age where I want to be married... But I know I'm totally okay with it being sooner than I originally felt, if it happens that way. But... Not too soon. I mean... Being engaged after half a year of dating, yeeaaahhh... Probably not :P Need at least some time to really get to know each other. Not just the honeymoon period where everything is happy and cheesy all the time. I don't even know where this post is going... My mind is a bit all over the place tonight! Absolutely no idea why... I hope you can keep up with what the heck I am saying, cause I'm struggling and I'm the author! If I have grammar errors or something doesn't make sense... I'm too lazy to proof this, so I'm not gonna check. But feel free to ask questions for me to clarify any confusing points, cause I'm sure there are a fair few...

Random point that I just remembered because this year's Swedish entry is currently playing on my iTunes...

EUROVISION IS ALMOST HERE!

Well... Actually... If you're in Europe, it would have already started; along with anyone who watched the live streamings from Europe. For people, like me, who is waiting for the Australian SBS broadcast this weekend... SO CLOSE! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I am trying to stay away from anywhere on the Internet that can give away spoilers, as I don't want anything ruined for me... Last year, I was happily checking Facebook when [Mr Awesome] popped up with a message saying "Hey! You happy that Sweden won?" (Oh yeah.. Sweden won last year in case you didn't know guys...) And all I could do was sit at my computer like O.O

I hadn't watched the final yet... It was that night that I was going to watch and find out... The country I was going for happened to be Sweden last year, so I was relatively happy; and I figured Sweden had it in the bag anyway (to which Loreen absolutely smashed everyone with her amazingness), but COME ON! I didn't wanna know! I wanted to be biting my nails anxiously while watching the voting and freaking out whenever any country looked like they could beat Sweden... I wanted to have a heart attack and stress myself out way too much over a show aired on the other side of the world! And that opportunity was taken away from me! ... *Sigh*

Just so long as it doesn't happen again this year... [Mr Awesome]! Don't you dare blurt out to me the winner again this year, or so help me! I will fly over to South Australia and burn you in flames! ... I kid, I kid... But seriously. Everyone. Please. Let an Australian girl watch the entirety of the Eurovision Song Contest without having anything spoiled for her, so she can have an amazing night with [K-Dawg], [Phantomess], [GoJo], [Tenuto Tuo], [Clearly Unfocused], and a couple other peeps on Sunday watching the final together; as well as playing a non-alcoholic Eurovision drinking game, cause we are just awesome like that ;P

So, again... I'm not entirely sure where this blog ended up; but I'm pretty damn sure I did not originally intend it to unfold like this... But hey! Since when does it ever? ^_^

I might go work on a bit of Anatomy now... Or go on a Maccas run, because I've been denied for far too long; and my body is craving it... Yeah, it's that bad... Don't judge me and my eating habits!

... *Shifty eyes*
...*Waves* Byeeee

Confrontations

Hi guys! It's crazy how regular I've become with these blogs... So proud of myself! Or, I really shouldn't be, cause ya know... This is being written because I'm procrastinating... Hmmm... Oh well!

So, the past half-week has been somewhat uneventful; but a few events have occurred so, I should have a decent amount to write about this week hopefully (for all you whiners saying I'm not writing enough for your liking ;P).

So after posting the last blog very early Thursday morning; I then headed off to bed and had another broken night's sleep, to wake up at 11am (my usual wake up time really...). Managed to get myself out of bed and ready to go to lunch, then head off to my Anatomy prac at 12pm which was on digestion. Hmm... What's that smell? Oh. That would be the entire digestive system of a pig laid out on a table in the middle of the room! See... I'm a bit of a weird one... Give me any part of an animal, whether that be just the outside, just the insides, just it's blood; whatever... And I'm totally fine with it! The only thing that gets to me is smell at times. It never affects me to the point where I feel like I'm going to be sick (or I haven't been exposed to such scents yet..), but it does make my stomach turn a little.
Give me any part of the human? Nup. Can't have it. Just does not agree with me at all. Even though, if you think about it, half the time it would not be much different... I'm weird in the sense that I just can't handle anything human (wow... I really AM anti-people! ;P).

I mean, needles. I, personally, can't stand them. Painful, mental scar-inducing little suckers that they are! I can't stand them! Unless it comes to animals... I could jab away at them all day long for all I care. But humans? Nope. No thank you. Have a nice day.......

So yeah! I had a bit of fun playing with pig intestines and being a good student and identifying each part of the system and all that jazz... A++ yeah? ^_^

Friday was a pretty tiring day for me... The Anatomy lecture was good, as usual; mostly due to the fact that they only go for an hour maximum, and you have to be on your toes to write down extra notes and things like that. Plus our lecturer is just a funny, and slightly crazy, woman! I then had lunch, followed by three hours of Biometrics... I normally only have the one on the Friday, but I'd swapped my contact over to the Friday so I could spend the extra time finishing off my Ecology assignment on that Monday it was due.

The hour long tutorial was spent [Bestiality]-less because she had equine things to do instead... So I instead had to suffer almost an hour of a fresher talking to me about gaming. It wasn't the topic that was bugging me. It was his pompous bragging over how amazing his game setup is in his room on campus, how much money it's worth, etc... I get it! Your family's loaded! But seriously! Your older brother isn't anywhere near as bad as you when it comes to flaunting... PIPE THE F*** DOWN!

The two hours in the contact was a bit better since [Bestiality] was actually there for that one, along with a friendly Thynne resident we get along with. I don't think we really learnt that much from it... Or, at least, I didn't. Or I did and I just can't remember it now... Oh bother... Who knows! :P And it went relatively quickly, which is always good.

I then had a couple of hours to kill before the bus arrived for me to head home... So I went over to the post office to buy the bus ticket, check my mail, then book a doctor's appointment... For those of you who don't think of this as a massive deal, it was for me okay?! It was utterly terrifying! I do not do well with doctor's (at least when it comes to my health), and when it comes to the reason why I was going... Well... I shall get there when I reach the day in this blog; but it added an extra element of horror for me.

I then hopped onto the bus and headed to another of my Uni's campuses; where [K-Dawg] picked me up in his lion onesie, and I just happened to be in my lioness onesie ;) It was totally not planned at all guys... *Cough* So yeah! Then we headed over to my place to discuss with my parents ideas on what to do about
Lion King and how we're gonna go about it; then we ended up playing the surgeon simulator game together along with my brother, who seemed to always jab himself on the needles and was basically drugged up the entire time... He had too much fun with that. Like... Way too much 
:P

The usual cuddles were had, then he was sent on his way home so we could both get some much needed sleep. I woke up sometime around 10:30am and lazed around until I had to go to work with the oh-so-slow junior. You know you've been working at Subway long enough when you get excited when your boss brings in a new mop... Yeeeaaahhh... Especially considering the fact that I had to clean the floors that night, it was nice! Except the fact that that mop was heavy! Like, ugghhh. Heaviest mop we've had so far; and for little ol' me, it wasn't overly ideal :P But new mop! Along with the mop bucket and broom being replaced recently as well, makes for a happy [Miss Invisible] and Subway workers! ^_^ Oh... And I may have sliced myself on the tomato slicer... Hmm... I totally do not fail at life okay?! The tomato slicer and I are just sworn enemies; and it has been that way ever since I first worked at Subway... Stupid piece of machinery... -.-

Sunday wasn't overly eventful really... [K-Dawg] turned up after church to chill and so he could take me to the train station later on for me to head back to Uni. It was also this day when I started Live Below The Line! Lunch on Sunday was my last decent meal, before I started dinner that night. Which, I actually ended up eating nothing so... It was a great start! Not entirely sure if it affected how I woke up the next day though...

Yeessss. Yesterday (Monday) morning, I woke up feeling like death. Granted, I woke up at 8am (which is bloody amazing for me) so I could have a 60c breakfast (one scoop of baked beans & a boiled egg); but I woke up feeling like death. No joke. My throat was dry, and ridiculously sore; and I had the biggest headache, along with extreme tiredness and dizziness whenever I got up or moved too quickly. I was the most attractive sight ever, I'm sure... Thankfully I only had three hours of class that I was going to attend. The Anatomy lecture was fine to go through. But the two hour Biometrics contact? Nope... I was gonna try and actually help out this time round; but I just felt worse and worse as time went on by, and I literally felt like passing out at multiple points. It was not pretty... And it probably didn't help that I only got one scoop of tortellini pasta for lunch that day as it cost me 75c for that one scoop... Leaving me with 67c for dinner; which got me two scoops of rice and one scoop of beans, as well as 3c worth of Vegemite spread to snack on after :P

This morning I woke up a lot better, thankfully! I've borrowed a blanket off a friend until I can actually remember to bring mine up, so I think the warmth helped me be able to sleep. But, I did sleep through breakfast this morning.. It was unintentional! I had set my alarm; but there was a power outage throughout the uni, so it reset my alarm clock and didn't set off the alarm... Yay! So I woke up around 10:30am and just drowsily browsed the internet until it came time for lunch, which was dreadful. They had put out burgers for everyone, so for us LBTLers... It was shite. They had soup there, which I think was pumpkin... Which, I don't normally like pumpkin soup; but I can tolerate it well enough. This one? Nope. They had put some ridiculous herb in it, that made me feel sick eating it. So I didn't! I had taken two sips (so what... 2c?) and a slice of bread (10c) and that was all I had for lunch. I'm still relatively ill, so I don't feel like eating much currently; so it is somewhat a plus but... I know how hard my body is finding it to fuel my immune system so it can kick this virus out.

At 3pm, a group of us Pittlings headed over to a grassy area for the filming of the main scene for the MTV video. It took longer than they said it would (20 minutes turning into a little over an hour); and it was hard keeping everyone interested and sticking around, but it should be worth it in the end! I'm so proud of Pitt this year with our organisation and everything. So much better than last year when we did the video (filming & editing) all within around two weeks; which almost made our editor go insane... So on top of things this year, and it's absolutely fantastic! Can't wait to see the final product! I'm sure it'll be amazing ^_^

The only downside to the filming though, was the after effects it had on me. I woke up pretty good this morning. No headache... Still a sore throat, and couldn't make too fast a movement or my head would throb for a while; but other than that, I was fine. But the filming today involved a lot of people talking around me, as well as being thrown around a little to the point where my headache returned; and possibly to the point where it was a little worse than yesterday. I was in my room, and the world would spin momentarily; and this was while I was sitting in my chair... So yeah, I was a little concerned; not gonna lie! But dinner wasn't too far off, so I went to that and stocked up on a fair bit of food since I had basically eaten nothing all day and had almost my entire $2 to use. I had a scoop of pasta (20c), a scoop of veggies (which I'm guessing are 44c, since they didn't have the sign up), and a small scoop of bolognaise mince. Now... I am worried that, since they didn't have how much it cost, I may have gone over... But I'm going off the idea that the amount of meat I had was about $1 worth; which, when adding the two slices of bread I had as well, should still be under $2. I really needed a bit of protein in me, okay?! I was almost dying... And this week is about walking in their shoes, but always keeping your health a priority. But yeah... It should still have been under $2, so I should be right!

What am I doing now? Not much really. I already feel better since eating, and have a nice energy spike so I might do a bit of work after I post this up. Or, I might set myself up so I can do work another day and then procrastinate the rest of the night... Which is the more likely scenario :P

Oooh! Before I forget. Last blog post I mentioned that I got a message from an old friend and that I would go into detail in this post... So I guess I should probably do that :P

For those of you who guessed [Carl]... You would be right! Ding ding ding! Winner/s!

Yes... After having not talked since October last year, my ex-boyfriend decides to start messaging me late Wednesday night on Facebook talking about how, after reading a couple of posts I wrote, he realises "how much of a dick he was to me" and "how sorry he is" and all this stuff... Along with the fact that he and his current girlfriend are going through difficult times - aka; she's a controlling, crazy bitch who he's not so fond of anymore for reasons I haven't entirely been divulged in but yeah... Apparently I'm still the only person he can tell anything and everything too, so he came running back to me.

You know the awesome thing is though? Every other time this has happened... I was either single, or in a relationship that was spiralling downhill; so when we started talking again, we'd slip into our old habits (cause he's generally unhappy as well) which was never a good thing to do... But we always seemed too. Which would confuse me emotionally and mentally... But, it wouldn't last long before we were verbally attacking the shiz out of each other; then he cuts off contact, and we stop talking. This time? Completely different!

After the way he hurt me in October when we stopped talking, it helped me be able to finally completely move on. I accepted the fact that I couldn't have everyone in my life and have everyone be happy and all that... But, it was when I started dating [K-Dawg] that any miniscule emotional attachment I may have had left towards [Carl] was removed for good. And it just feels utterly amazing!

When [Carl] messaged me on Wednesday... I was shocked and anxious. I wasn't sure if I was willing to go through our usual cycle again. But, as I pondered it, I realised that we wouldn't be going through that usual cycle. Because I have moved on! And, I'm assuming he has as well... Or, I'd at least like to hope. Whether we continue talking and go back to friend status, or whether we do get to a point where we stop talking again; it doesn't matter either way for me anymore. I can live my life no matter what way it turns out!

So, I ended up replying to him. We emailed each other for a couple of days then we stopped for a bit.. Mostly cause I was too lazy to talk to him first, which I'm guessing he realised cause he emailed me for the first time again this morning. Our messaging is very disjointed at the moment, but that's because we apparently have to keep it on the low-down in case his girlfriend finds out. Which is a fair point, I suppose. I mean... She went on his account and unfriended me from it (at least that's what he said happened), so she is seeming incredibly controlling and a little bit loopy in my opinion... But I'm not going to make too major judgements on someone I haven't met.

So yes! Let's see how this goes... Shall we?

I don't have much else to talk about now... I've exhausted every ounce of anything interesting that could be going on in my life right now that I can think of. I have a few events coming up soon, along with multiple assessment and exams so... If I become less regular, please don't kill me! I have reasons!

Catch ya later homies.

Procrastination Time!


'Sup y'all!

Another week has passed, and so many memories with it... Okay, I lie a little... Not much happened at all this week really. Just last minute cramming for an exam and an assignment that had a maximum word limit of 10,000; with the minimum being assumed to be at least 5,000.

Ahhh yes... The life of the Queen of Procrastination... As fulfilling as ever!

Yeah, so... Most of last week was spent spending hours in my room telling everyone, and myself, that I was gonna get focused and smash out some work so I'm not doing it all last minute... Nope! HA! ... Spent pretty much all of my time on YouTube instead, or lazing around on my bed... I am a truly horrible Uni student... Like, honestly... I did somewhat suffer when I realised that Biochem required a bit more studying than I initially realised... But I still managed to get most of it memorised; and walked into the exam semi-confident. Only to find that the one or two things I glazed over and/or wouldn't stick in my brain, took up about half of the exam... Oh the joys!

So, once that half hour long exam was over; I decided to treat myself to the day off after cramming the day and morning before it... And, ya know, it's more procrastination so; I wasn't complaining!

So, the exam was on the Friday... And that 10,000 word assignment I was talking about? Well... I basically did the entirety of it over the three days following the exam. I did the first section (worth around 2,000 words) on Saturday morning before heading to work... I then struggled through the second and three quarters of the third through Sunday. I say struggled because I was incredibly tired and lethargic due to lack of sleep and sudden work rush. Like... I don't think I've been this tired in a while. It was somewhat concerning! I literally looked like a zombie, trudging around the house... Dropping things that really should not have been dropped... I even burnt myself making two minute noodles that night when I got back to Uni!

Even though I was more behind on the assignment than I preferred to be at that point; I ended up inviting [K-Dawg] over a little earlier than initially intended (also because my Mum invited him over for dinner, but minor details...), but it was definitely a better choice... I was so tired I doubt much more work would have been completed; and, this way, I got to have some cuddles and uplifting company to perk me up a little before the dreary two hour trip back.
I've been so tired lately I've been falling asleep on [K-Dawg] mid conversation... It's that bad! I don't entirely know the reason for it either... Apart from the fact that I've been messing with my body. Working out in some gym classes, then going without and eating junky food... Then kinda repeating the cycle... Let's not forget that Live Below The Line is next week! And I am currently eating like a horse! Okay... Maybe not that much... But still. A ridiculous amount of food!

So Monday I woke up and finished the last bit of the section I intended on finishing the day before... I then went to lunch (and found that the Anatomy lecture was thankfully cancelled... YAY FOR MORE TIME!) and headed back to my room to smash out the last part... This assignment is for Ecology so... I'd already written about soil, invertebrates (insects to you commoners), and wildlife tracking methods... This last section was about vegetation... Oh the joys! But it had to be done... Oddly enough, I managed to smash out this last section with a rate of around 1,000 words an hour; making the section finished within 2-3 hours. I then spent an hour or so doing up references and the title page; and doing final touch ups and grammar checks... To have it handed in by around 4pm. This was due by midnight that night, and I was expecting to be solidly working up until that point; with how tired I'd been over the past few days and the slow rate I had been completing the other sections... But nope! Something kicked in that day and I was a typing machine. It was amazing! Even a few friends admitted that they were surprised I got it done so fast...
So... It's not exactly the best assignment ever... But it covers pretty much everything she wanted (at least vaguely) so I should definitely get a pass! Which shouldn't be too difficult. I heard a guy handed in 2,500 words last year and scraped a pass... Surely I must be able too with the 7,400 words (ish) I handed in... ^_^

So yeah! I gave myself the rest of the night off and played some Pirates (thank you [K-Dawg] for reminding me about the game I so sorely missed playing) and just relaxed...

Tuesday I spent doing... Well... Nothing... Literally. I skipped all my classes and sat around doing nothing. I told myself I would start on my Anatomy assignment; but it just didn't happen... I've been starting to feel drowsy all the time now, and I'm pretty confident that it is due to the fact that I am doing absolutely nothing with my life currently except sit around and eat way too much Maccas... Seriously... The amount of Maccas trips I've been going on recently is horrendous!

Which brings us to Wednesday... Which I'm still considering as today; but it's kinda past midnight right now so it's kinda Thursday now... So yay for time confusionism!

I woke up at 9am (hey! That's a feat for me currently) and stumbled out of bed... Literally. The lack of sleep I've been getting lately is ridiculous... To get dressed in pants and gum boots to head out to a farm area the University owns to look at... Wait for it... Trees and soil scales! Oh yes! The utter joy I felt trudging through mud and long grass was so immense it was overflowing... Add in the fact that it was ridiculously hot and I was stupid enough to forget sunscreen and a hat and yeeaahhh... It wasn't entirely fun.

I then came back for an Anatomy lecture that I couldn't quite focus in... Why? Because [K-Dawg] sent me a message informing me that LION KING PRESALE TICKETS ARE OUT! ... For VISA card holders, which I am not buuttt... ASDFGHJKL! LION KING! Okay... Now that my feelings have exploded everywhere... Nope, I lie... Still pretty damn excited! But have to wait until Friday (which is only tomorrow if I think about it... Ooooohhhh) until tickets come out for us non-VISA people.

I really don't have much else to discuss at the moment really... I'm currently Skyping with [K-Dawg] as he wears his lion onesie, and I wear my lion ears after watching him play a new surgeon simulator game and watch him finally do a heart transplant after multiple attempts... *Applauds sarcastically* And after receiving an intriguing message from an old friend... I shall go more in depth about this probably in my next blog as I don't really wish to discuss it right now. Mostly because I'm still wrapping my head around it, and it's late... And I really ought to be headed to bed soon rather than going on a mental rant! :P

So... It is with this that I shall take my leave... Until next time folks!
