my laptop goes "vroom vroom"!
Last night I just reformatted my god old laptop, so everything now is working faster than the speed of light!!! Plus, it was the first time I ever formatted by myself!
Well, I'm up pretty early because it's now Day 1 of clinical rotation and I'm getting ready. Got a bit of a headache because I don't think I fell asleep until past midnight and I got up at around 6:50AMish. Not really looking forward to it, or maybe I am. We'll just to wait and see to be honest.
I have to ask this girl to give me back my fucking text book. Since we're on clinical, I'd better get it. Seriously. Their group is messed up. I just hope that I'm in a good ward. There's like 4 wards (Unit A, B, C, D) and there's like 16 of us. 4 in each. Not too bad.
Anyway, this is going to be pretty quick because I'm in the middle of getting ready to leave and I need to have some breakie in me before I leave, so I can at least make it through the day. I can go to Epping Plaza afterwards ... YAY! The downside ... with no money? No yay!?
Anyway, I'll probably update this again really soon. Maybe later on if I can. To tell you about today.

bankrupt broke. i hate money and bills.
the fact that since i got paid last week (i get paid on a fortnightly basis), i have not touched ANY of that money or even seen it. And now, it's all gone to bills. bills bills bills. i have 2 phones that i pay off. both are around ... hmm $100 combined, not seperate. then i have gym, which is taken from my account automatically. and now i have a fucking physiotheraphy bullshit session i have to make up for because i actually forgot i had an appointment last week. (too busy with studying to even care about physio). tomorrow is deff. my last physio. fuck that. $70 for an hour is just a fucking waste, especially since now i'm all better and the cunt just wants to take money from me to perform a "checkup".
i seriously hate bills and the money i earn. i mean, hey, yeah it might not seem a lot, but because i'm studying at the same time, i possibly can't work more .. (or can i) and one of my clients (i work with paraplegics) was fucking nice enough to not even tell me she wasn't back from the hospital. work told me i start working back with her on the 25th of may. it's not the 11th of june and she's not back. so she wasted my time when i woke up at 7:30AM to get ready and go to work at 8:30AM. to my surprise, she wasn't even there. i could of slept in!
i deff. need the money right now.
i even have a party to go to on Saturday ( and YES, i have to go!) it's my friends birthday. having it at a gay club, because .. go figure, he's gay. haha. so i have to put at least $10 aside for a present. (joint present with dianne). free entry before 11pm. so deff. have to get there before 11pm!
i remember writing an entry a while ago about my financial problems and this is one of those times where i don't listen to myself and i stress out when times like this occur. this time, i didn't even touch any of my money ... it just disappeared due to bills.
work is getting annoying. i seriously want to work more to earn more, but at the same time i get a bit lazy and i prefer more shifts with the clients i already have now, instead of someone new.
ok, other than that, exams. i still have another 3 left. (one of the is after clinical rotation), so basically i have 2. thursday and friday. yay ... not.
with this whole bullshit bill randomly popping up, i'm shitting myself because of the lack of money that i may have trying to pay the piece of shit off, or maybe not. i get paid on the thursday, not tomorrow, next thursday and that bill is due on the 23rd. yeah it takes like .... 3 business days to get there, but omg i'm totally struggling on money issues. I NEED TO SAVE. and that client of mine better get back soon! My money issues were fine before she went to stay at the hospital. (nothing wrong with her, just the person she lives with had an operation and he was the one that took care of her).
it's just so frustrating with money and where it all goes. i mean, even being a freaking vegetarian, i'm still broke. what's going on?!?!?! that and we seriously need more vegan restaurants here. maybe i should totally franchise one from the states, but oh wait, i need money for that. vegan food isn't even that expensive.
yes, i said vegan. i know i'm a vegetarian (Pescatarian Vegetarian to be exact) ... which means i dont eat meat, but i eat fish. i need my omega-3 you know and i won't be feeding my body vitamin pills, or can i? blackmores omega 3 pills? i have some. haha. that's an idea. *writes it down*. Anyway, yes, i am a vegetarian, but i do eat vegan food. pretty darn yummy stuff! like i said we need more vegan places over here. they dont seem to coexist over here.
mum always finds it so hard to figure out what she's going to be making for me to eat, but i told her to not worry so much about making me anything meatless (since mum and dad aren't vegetarians), and i told my mum that i'll just make my own munchies. i don't want mum getting a headache with figuring out vegetarian/vegan dishes just for me. she's got enough problems on her plate and i don't need to put my vegetarian problems on her haha. plus, vegetarian dishes are pretty easy. for a person that cannot cook to save her life (and i have to cook for a client at work. bless god for his dear little head for not complaining on my lack of cooking skills in the kitchen. they will, however, get better!), i'm actually surprise my parents, my clients and myself allow me to step into a kitchen.
anyway, i should really head off and start studying again. i only decided to post because i got my bill (which i realised is a joint bill from last month) hence why that bill alone was $100. my other bill for the other phone reached $82 because i went over my limited amount, due to sebastian, who we will never speak of again! that sad sad satyriasis (females are nymphomaniacs) can go and be the sad satyriasis boy that he is, get prostate cancer and ill go see him and laugh in his face. serves the guy right for because a styriasis head.
anyway, best be off now. for real. haha. this is a damn damn damn long entry. hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed letting my frustration out.

something new.
On your right you will see "View Complete Profile". All I'm saying is that I've changed the person on there. Well, it's still me. Duh, obviously. But yeah.
I shouldn't even be on here. Time is short people and my exams aren't going to be answering themselves if I don't study. Plus, I have work. Bummer bummer bummer. But I seriously need money money money. Just like Mischa Barton does right about now.

random ramblings.
I know. I know. You're all looking for an excuse.
And of course. It's exam season (or should I say time? What's happening to my English!?!?). I've been in the study mode for a while, which I'm loving. I've already done my Spanish Listening Exam, my Spanish Oral Exam and my High Dependency Performance Assessment. So, right now. I only have another 4 exams to go. Yes I know. I had 7 exams this semester. Bummer and sad to say I did slack off a lot, as well. But hopefully, this studying mode won't leave me until AFTER my exams. But of course, I have to defer one of my exams (Spanish Written Exam) to another date because it clashes with my Clinical Rotation at the hospital. But it should all be fine.
Been busy trying to decide on my Graduation as well with what hospitals I want to apply for to work next year. I just hope I do get a Grad. placement and if I don't ... then oh well. What can you do ...
I just wanted to let peope know what I've been up to. Haha. And that I haven't run off and forgotten about this blog. This is probably the longest I've ever kept an online blog. It's great writing a journal again. I found my old journal and was reading back to it. I first started in 1999. Almost 10 years ago. From that, I took a break in 2005. Probably 2 years I think. And now I've started again. I have been printing off my entries and sticking them into a journal book (continuing my old one), which is pretty good.
I hope everyone is fine.
Oh and NO BOYS right now. I'm so sick of them at the moment. They don't understand girls at all. I think I know why girls turn into lesbians!! (Not implying that I will become one! =P)
Anyway, yes. From the other entry about the TO DO things. Stuff still hasn't been done.
The financial thing is a MUST now for sure and I got paid yesterday and I know for certain all of that will be gone in a week, due to paying off bills and maybe just enough for the petrol. Petrol prices are ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING! I remember years ago when it was only around 60 cents a litre, now $1.58 a litre. Like seriously. I'm not made from money and I have to work hard *cough* at work to pay the bills. Hah.
But oh well. That's life. Maybe if I made money off the net. Hehehe. Would be a bit of a help. I have one a site that does, but c'mon. 60 cents a month pay? I don't think so Mr. 60 cents won't even get me a Chuppa Chup lollypop at Safeway (Woolworths for some) or Coles. Even with a staff discount card, it won't make a difference!!
I'll leave it at this now. Parentals are cooking. It's starting to smell. My stomach has made the cue to go see what's up and to eat the place down. =)
Hasta la vista (baby!).

All Better!
Anyway, today I went to a place called "The Warehouse" to buy myself a new desk. I have a corner desk, but because last year my parents bought me a new bed and stuff, it wouldn't fit in my room. Nevertheless, I still crammed it into my room. Now, With a new desk that's not a corner desk, my room doesn't look as cramped as before!
OK .... that was like posted a while ago. I left it as a draft to continue on with it later, but never came back to it.
Anyway, busy busy busy. Always busy studying for exams coming up.
I've already had 1 exam. My Spanish listening exam on Tuesday. Thats all done. Hopefully I passed.
Next up is my High Dependency Performance Assessment on Monday, then Tuesday Spanish Oral Exam. URGH. Thinking about it now makes me stress out. I hope I'm prepared enough for everything that's about to slap me across the face.
Anyway, just keeping this short and sweet and letting everybody know that I'm still alive and kicking.
Hope everyone has a good week.
I have a picture of the desk and such, but haven't had the time to upload it! Omg so lazy.
Oh, and to keep people updated too, Seb and I are no longer a "couple". Ended a while ago. I hate boys that only want one thing from a girl, as if we're just there for a personal pleasure instead of a normal relationship. Urgh, boys. Seriously.
Until next time, hasta luego mi amigos. xoxoxoxo

i hate being sick.
Anybody been keeping up with Eurovision? You all better be watching it!! It's good. Not only that, but because Norway is in the Semi-Finals. GO MARIA! Oh, and not only that, because Mira Craig (who writes to me on Myspace occasionally) composed the song Maria is singing! "Hold on Be Strong". Upon hearing it, you can hear her accent. Heh! I hope Mira puts it on her album, since she wrote it and all. I should pester her about it and tell her to put it on her next album! *makes mental note*
Another thing that's really bothering me, that I really really need to get ontop of:
- Study for exams
- Submit hospital applications on Computer Match before July 31st.
The not so important at the moment:
- Clean room. (Recycle all unwanted junk and possibly rearrange the bed.)
- Reformat laptop.
- Get PO Box sorted out.
- Get bills organised & handle the rest of my financial stuff.
That last point it badly needed since I don't actually know where all my money wonders off to. I've been meaning to split my pay so half of it goes directly into my other account (the account I don't touch!). Argh. I'm soooo freaking unorganised and it's driving me absolutely mental.
Only, because I'm a perfectionist and very highly organised and since exams have been coming up and I've been trying every single trick to avoid studying, I slack off. It's gotten to a point where the rooms a complete mess and I'm behind on study. *Slaps self*
So starting tomorrow, and all that, I'll be studying. STUDY STUDY STUDY or i'll get someone to literally kick my ass!
I guess in a way I'm disappointing myself and I don't want to disappoint myself or disappoint the parentals when they hear that I flunked my exams. NOT GOOD! Urgh, I should really get some sleep. I don't want to start messing up my sleeping pattern YET again.
So, I'm off. Cherrio, cherrio, bye bye. (Yes, that's part of a song.)
Chau chau. xoxo.

Happy Norway Day!!!!
Saturday, 10 May 2008
shops are choccas today.
so after work, i went home very quickly to pick up a ring that i need to get engraved.
... it's for my friend in Norway, Sandra. I told her I'd send it like last year. I've had the ring for so long already. So i got the words "Unhearted" engraved on it, in italics. "Unhearted" is a song from a band called Automatic LoveLetter.
Anyway, I don't have much else to say. I'm actually really tired right now. heh. Oh, i finally got a new pair of contacts. Since the car crash last year, I lost them, probably in the crash.
So yeah, mums present. I got her a ring from Salera's. $149. Mum wanted one from Michael Hill for $39. $39!!! Cheap ass. I'm not cheap ass. (Well, when it comes to my parents, i'm no cheap ass!), so hopefully she likes it ... *fingers crossed* (Btw, if you're going to google Salera's website, it's a really shitty made website!)
Anyway, I can't even find a picture of it on the site. It's not for sale in the catalogue and right now I can't actually be bothered. Hehehehe.
Anyway, everyone enjoy your weekend.
Happy Mothers Day for tomorrow! Give your mothers a huge hug from me. (Yes, say it's from Mary Ann, a complete stranger!)
Hasta Luego.
mothers day eve.
But yeah, I will figure it out.
Ok, so this is like really really short. Shortest yet, but it's almost 1am and I'm starting to ruin my sleeping pattern yet again. Hehe.
Chau chau.

the burgers are better at hungry jacks...
Nothing exciting has been happening, I'm afraid. Well, that or I don't remember.
Ok, so starting from the gay club... the rest of the weekend, all I did was basically work. Work, work, work. I'm not too sure if I saw Seb between then either hah. Damn the memory is bad.
Tuesday at Spanish we had a test on Unit 4 & 5. I honestly think I messed that up completely. I was unprepared for it because i've been catching up with everything else at uni.
Then the rest of the week was just catching up with everything and working on the weekend.
I hung out with Seb on Saturday night (told the parentals I was working til around 12:30ish) and I came home at around 1am. Which, really, really, really sucked. Basically because I had to get up at 6am, to go to work at 7am - 10am with a client I hadn't worked with before. But I was getting paid double time for 3 hours ($120 for 3 hours), so of course I didn't argue with that. I then had to go to work on the Sunday night as well (instead of the Saturday night). Then basically after that, I just crashed and burned. I was sooo bummed that day. I have recently been enjoying my mornings where I can sleep in. I use to survive with only 5-6 hours sleep and feel fine, but now I've been going to bed so early and getting an extra 3-4 hours sleep and I'm loving every minute of it!!
So Monday today ... Dianne, Chinh and I went to the library after our High Dependency lab class to work on our High Dependency take home test (Due Fridayish). Chinh left us not even half way through the test. Well he had to take his mum somewhere, so he had to go. Dianne and I were left in the room (she booked a room so we can work in there). Freaking took over 4 hours to finish half the test!!
It's worth 100 marks. 50 multiple choice (which were kinda hard, freaking respiratory bullshit) and then 50 short answer questions. The short answer questions seem pretty good. A lot of the students were complaining about it though because on our Course Guide on the subject, it said that the take home test was going to be all multiple choice, so he gave us an option of just doing all of the questions on the take home test, or do a quiz online. The quiz online had to be finished in 90 minutes... Like seriously, I'd totally do the take home test. At least you get a couple of days to actually do it.
Anyway, so that's out of the way, and I'm about to go and have a shower, then organise everything for tomorrow, then go to bed. To wake up early to catch the 7:42am train to the city for breakfast and spanish! heh.
Anyway, that's all that's been happening to be honest. Nothing too exciting except study study study. Exams are freaking soon and I'm so behind on my studying!! *cries* STRESS!!!!
Hasta luego mi amigos/as.
