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..

I finally uploaded my photos from Jess & Tamar's birthday barbecue and the cruise from Frank's birthday so I thought I would share on here.

the birthday girls & reason i like my uni. 

more of the nursing gang.

she tried to do all of them till i took it from her (;

Tamar, Me, Jess, Erin, Emily.

Hoops & Alyce - he's decided he's in love.

Costco Cake!

The cruise, check the sunset.

Getting ready. I look a tad like a vampire?

My sister & the birthday boy.

Fuck Macaulay Culkin, never going home alone.

ZUMBA.

Went to my first class on Monday. The whole time I felt ridiculous and by the end of the class I came to terms with the fact that I will never grasp the body roll. Needless to say I can't wait for next Monday's session. Amazingly perfect abs here I come (;

P.S. re-did my OSCE today and passed. Pretty ecstatic. Just Biology this Thursday and exams are over.

Last weekend it was my friend Frank's birthday (the one sitting between me and my sister, on the left), he turned twenty. We celebrated by going on a boat cruise event that was happening in Canberra. Despite deciding to be a Sober Sally for the night, I enjoyed just hanging out, which I hadn't really done in a while.  Most of these people are what I suppose you'd call 'my best friends'. I refer to them as the 'friends group' as we all remind each-other of characters from Friends (I'm Monica due to my appetite and organisational skills). They're also the people I'm going to New Zealand with (less than two months to go!!) So I guess you could say I like these kids a lot. And Frank (aka Chandler) if you're reading this; Happy Birthday, Again (:

Sad.

It happened. I failed my first test yesterday. It was an OSCE exam, which is a practical exam. All I had to do was give a 'patient' an oral medication following the three checks, six rights etc. That part was easy. But I neglected to focus on the part beforehand, where you have ten minutes to look the drug up in MIMS (book of drugs) and fill out a sheet of questions about it. My drug was a Lasix, a drug prescribed for hypertension, and I only talked about how before and after giving the drug you'd monitor blood pressure when I should have also monitored urine output as lasix can dehydrate you sooo I failed. This isn't the end of the world, I get a second attempt next week BUT if I don't pass that I automatically will fail the class. I know it should be easy to pass now that I know what I have done wrong but hey, that's a lot of pressure to put on someone. Add the fact that I just feel stupid and useless and today/yesterday has not been a good day. 

Ah-mazing.

What Makes Me Happy.

- When my dog, Ziggy, rests his chin on me and just stares into my eyes.
- Going out - dressing up, shots, dancing, d'n'ms - it's been over a year & i'm still obsessed.
- My University -  when I consider the things I have done, friends I've made & confidence I've gained.
- Money. I love saving and feeling rich & secure, pretty much the only reason I work so much.
- Perfect fries, where they're hot & salty. Deliiiish.
- The fact that looking up birthing video's instead of studying with my friends is perfectly normal with my nursing friends.
- Late night drives and having long, deep conversations about the simplest subjects with the 'friends' group.
- When Bradley buys/makes me food without me even asking.
- Those books that you literally cannot put down.
- When my sister & I talk so fast to each-other that no one is able to keep up.
 - My Life.

Recently I realized that I waste my life on the internet ... and published this insight in a blog.

- found http://www.onesentence.org , where people post their secrets in one sentence, on a blog today and instantly fell in love with it. This secret I can definitely relate to!

Ten Confessions.

1. I can eat massive amounts, sickening amounts. Example? The time I ate three pies + a bite of a brownie. I wasn't dared to, just hungry. It's worse when I'm drunk, like the time I ate a chicken burger with four patties on it. Feel ill yet? 2. I have never smoked a cigarette or done any illegal drugs in my life. 3. I am the cheapest person in the world. To give you an idea, my friend and I are planning on raiding two friend's wardrobes and borrowing something for our uni ball to save money. I believe it wasn't for my unwillingness to spend my savings on clothes my wardrobe would actually be decent. 4. I think with my head instead of my heart in most situations. I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost three years now and love him but if he turned into a cheater or just generally an asshole you wouldn't see me sticking around. 5. I can't keep a secret. I think this is due to having no secrets myself as I share everything and have been told that I can, in fact, be too honest. 6. I'm definitely what you would call an optimist. Not in the over-chirpy-cheerleader-way, more, that I never stay sad for long and can handle what is thrown at me pretty well. In the words of my sister, 'I wouldn't say I'm an optimist but it's called stop being so over-dramatic and just get over it'. 7. This year has by far being my favourite. I finally have found friends whose company I actually enjoy. I don't think I could say the same of last year and the year before. 8. My sister says I'm narcissistic. I will admit, it's a little true but I think I'm on the 'healthy narcissistic' side of things. 9. If I could change one thing of my looks it would be my massive eyes, they stick out and I hate it. 10. I am a massive facebook stalker. It's my addiction and how I spend my time 'studying'.
