I'm Back.

How I hate uttering those words. Sure, it was nice to be home .. for about an hour and then I was itching to be back. Back in the cramped and sometimes smelly hostel dorm rooms occupied by every culture, the little corner shops with their jaffa milkshakes that I've missed since being in Australia, back feeling like I'm doing something ever so slightly out of my comfort zone and how this will then lead to more daring + amazing trips overseas.


Tomorrow it will officially have been a week since I landed on home turf. In this week I have literally done nothing but watch TV and hang around the house with Brad. It's been good having all this time with him after spending three weeks with just occasional, quick phone calls. I just hate this restless feeling. I'm not ready to go back to reality.

Two weeks until I'm jumping off I'm watching my friends jump off this exact bridge in queenstown.

 I have never been so excited for anything in my life. Expect lots of photos, stories & videos.

Uni Ball.

I don't know what to say. There was food, champagne, dancing and joking.

Me, Alyce, Jess.

Foreshore.

Prac has made me constantly tired so that I have had no time for my internet joys such as inklink and blogging, even my facebook stalking has been at an all-time-low. I don't feel quite ready for bed yet, however, so I thought I'd write about foreshore before I forget it all..

To be honest, I was not looking forward to foreshore too much. I had uni ball the night before and my friend had booked us in for cocktails at 8 in the morning so I knew I was going to be exhausted. Tiredness I can generally deal with but on top of that rain was predicted all day and that is a definite mood-killer. But reflecting on it I'm glad I went. My friend picked me up from uni ball (I had to resist the urge to go out with everyone cause I knew that would just be really pushing it) and I stayed the night at his with two other friends and my sister. He then dragged me out of bed at 7 and we all headed to siren for breakfast and cocktails. I got a long island iced tea and some fruity thing and they were delicious, so delicious that I didn't feel weird drinking at 8. After that it was to another friends house for proper pre-drinks cause it was her birthday. Then finally, foreshore. At foreshore I got to see LMFAO, (although 'see' is pushing it, we were so far back we could only see crowd until I got on a guy I knows shoulders for the last song but the crowd had a great vibe and the music sounded good) Boy & Bear, Salt n pepper, some dj sets, Gotye & Pnau. The sky really opened up right at the end of boy and bear but we just escaped to the dance tent and snuggled up to groups of strangers for warmth.

pre-drinks. Hagan is picking me up.

the lovely hagan & me.

this photo looks like a banner for some 90s sitcom in my opinion haha.

foreshore. before it poured.

we obviously were very into whoever was being played.

My Life.

Been very busy lately with my first week of placement in which I'm working in the renal ward, Uni ball and foreshore (a music festival). I want to share stories/photos from all three but I'm just too exhausted currently, instead have this photo from Foreshore, I'm barely visible up the back but I feel this photo captures the festival vibe quite well.

My Uni Ball is this Friday (excited!!) so last week three friends and got a spray tan to test how it would look. We then decided to go out the same night. On the first day your tan is VERY noticeable until you shower again so.. SPOT THE TWO ORANGE KIDS.

 

I wasn't that colour the whole night, as the picture below was taken AFTER the first one and after my shower in the morning my tan went even lighter.. but it still makes me laugh everytime I look. How embarrassing, I must have glowed in the dark club light..
