I'm sitting here, studying for an exam. Well, I'm blogging to distract myself from study. That seems to be my prime time for blogging - when I'm desperately avoiding doing something much more important.
I have my Sociology exam today. It's 145 til 345... and I kinda sorta completely accepted a shift at work starting at 3. Uh oh. Luckily, the exam is 50 multiple choice (or 'multiple guess', as Guy puts it) and nothing else. 50 multiple choice in an hour? Easy done... right? Work is only a 5 minute drive from uni... ugh. It's going to be close. But THAT'S how desperate I am for money at the moment. The family I babysit for got the flu for a couple of weeks so it's been a fortnight since I got that spare cash... very, very helpful spare cash.
It's holidays for me in... about a week. As of next Friday, I'm free until... 27th July? I think? No netball in that period (until August!) which sucks immense-sized balls - but Sarah and I have potentially enrolled in a 4-week boot camp on Merewether beach in that time. Wholey eff, what were we thinking. More on that as it occurs, if I can manage to lift my fingers to my keypad after that much exercise.
News other than that? Work is okay, I might be looking into working at a new OOSH in vacation time. Knees are still fragile as heck. I bought new clothes and they are sexy. I cut my hair a little too short. And I really need to do some more study. Less than 4 hours to go.

Come along, Pond!
Pretty stoked with most of my life right now.
Yesterday I finally bought a car. Her name is Amelia Pond and she is a ginge. I probably didn't do my car-shopping in the best possible way. I made 3 or 4 phone calls and then grabbed the first car I test-drove. She's almost as old as me and an automatic (blurgh) but so far (in the one 15-minute drive I've had) she works just fine. Here's hoping the lovely bogan ladies who sold it to me are trustworthy, otherwise I'm screwed. So today will be full of boring insurance-buying and registration transferring - but hey, I have a car!
University? Welllll, I have two major assignments left, neither of which have been started. They're still a couple of weeks away though, so I should be fine... maybe... oh and that piece of shit Ab Studies assignment I was so embarrassed to have handed in? I got 60%. How the fuck that happened, I'm not entirely sure, considering that I didn't even do the large final part of the assignment. It was in my stupid tonsillitis period and I just didn't have it in me. I'll make up for it in the group task, though... probably.
Speaking of my stupid tonsils... they've flared up 4 times now since I got sick. Bloody hell. Even now as I typed, they're swollen and sore. Sooo I guess I'm going to have to head back to the doctors soon to talk to somebody about it. I'm afraid he's going to tell me that I have to get them out. A diet of ice cream and jelly aside, I just don't have time for that shite! I still have a few weeks until uni ends in which to get those assignments done and then it's exam period. I have an exam for every class this semester. Then I was hoping to get to Taree to go see Sandy and the kids and maybe pick up some vacation care work for some monies... where do I fit a hospital stay in there?!
In awesome news, Mark is... indescribably awesome. Again, I don't want to use this blog for gushing but man... he's just... =D. He's convinced me to try out for a NSW Men's Netball Team... if there's room on it... I guess I'll wait and see what happens there. I'm definitely not at State level just yet... but neither was Mark when he started. Hmm.
Oh! And yesterday I bought new flannel bedsheets and a rice cooker. Now, these items may seem stupidly small and irrelevant to the use of an exclamation mark but they're more than random purchases. They're a representation to me that I'm finally getting back on my feet. The last year has been kind of all over the place with different living locations, study habits, money issues... and the fact that I can buy these (along with Amelia Pond) just means that I'm finally getting some stability! Now if I can just pick up my uni habits and get back to my nerdy first-year, HD-achieving ways, I'll be set!

I finally went to Sydney Wildlife World. Got a combined ticket with the aquarium. Turns out there's a reason I've never been to the Wildlife World - it's boring. Well. Not boring. But I definitely don't think it was worth the $50 for the combined ticket. That place is obsessed with crocodiles! Unfortunately, the highlight of the day was the a dugong deciding that it thought Wade was particularly sexy. A little girl passing by exclaimed that the dugongs belly button was visible... we all look... The bellybutton starts to extend... and before we know it, this disgusting, wiggling appendage with the ability to move on its own accord. It was unpleasant. That said, who doesn't enjoy a day trip to the city?
Doctor Who Season 6 premiered today! Simon and Chris are coming over to watch. There will be River song and pizza. Can't think of many better ways to spend a Sunday evening. Tomorrow I'm off to Sydney (again) to watch the netball championship!

Ab Studies Essay...
So I somehow managed to leave out of my last post that I've been stupidly sick for... a month? Maybe more? I had tonsillitis first. That took forever to get ver because I wouldn't go to the doctors until the vomit couldn't pass my swollen throat. Nice and graphic for you. I finally got past that and immediately developed the flu. And while at the bad part of the flu, I took a 3-day trip to Melbourne - in a car - where is rained and made it even worse. So now I sit, a week and a bit post-Melbourne and I'm still coughing, annoying my fellow studiers in the university library.
That's why I'm blogging right now, to be honest - avoiding university work. I could say I've been too sick to blog lately, but that excuse is as weak as the one I've been using about being too sick to do my assignment until now. The one that was due at 5PM yesterday. I'm sure to start it any moment now...
It's not that bad an assignment. I'm just so anti-essay at the moment. I can't fucking bring myself to think about them until the last possible moment. Group work? That shit is fine, people rely on me. Tech projects? Awesome fun, that'll definitely get done on time. But 2000 word essays? Suck my delicious balls, university.
...I say that, but I'll be here working all day on it. You win, university. Please present your delicious balls for a victory ball-lick. Wow, I hope for their sake that no stranger is looking over my shoulder reading this. Only those who know me well should be exposed to my disgustingness.
So... Aboriginal Studies. Focus time.
I'll probably be back to blog again in a few hours.

Let's try again, huh?
So let's try this blogging thing again, yeah? I've installed a new app on my iPad. The idea is that hopefully I'm going to start using my iPad for thing other than Plants Vs Zombies (ie for uni if I can get past my fear of looking like a complete wanker using it in class) and so this neat little app will be right there for me to use, too.
Life has thrown me a few second chances, of late. Mark and I are back together. It kind of came out of nowhere but everyone knows I never really managed to get over the guy. So when he tells me he's made a massive mistake... I didn't really have much choice, right? We had a year apart. Both of us experienced what life is like with other people and it turns out we both know we work best together. So it might not be the best decision I've ever made if you look at it from certain angles - which plenty of people have chosen to. Fact is, I'm in love with the guy. Yeah, he's plenty floored and has fucked me around in the past. But there is a lot of good in him too. Noone but me need to see that in order to justify my decision, though. I see who he really is and I love that guy, arsehole or not.
That all came out a little harsher than intended, but the it is.
I'm off to Melbourne for the second time this weekend to. Look out for blogging involving the insanity of a 15-hour cartrip with my fellow Parkhillians o.O
Now to focus all this second-chanceness on my university work. I'm already falling behind and losing motivation. I have to fix this shit. No more failing for Beau.

Strip Hangman
Man, I just had the most random Internet encounter of my life and it was fucking brilliant.
I just met some random, hilarious, fun, 20-year-old Cali kid in an innocent chatroom with no intentions whatsoever.
Half hour later, I'm playing Strip Hangman.
If I never see him again, I'm kind of okay with it - he was that awesome, I can just encapsulate that memory and fall a little bit in love with it whenever I think of it.
Bahaha. I feel so weird.
