It's been too long.

Dear blog,

It's been about four months since I last posted, and i must say, a lot has happened since then!

After turning 19, Coles promoted me to assistant manager, so i started working full time (40 hours a week). That was pretty intense, and I rarely had any time to see my friends or have some quality ME time.

I looked for other jobs online and came across 'seeklearking' and applied to do a Bachelor of Communications with Open university (online uni). Days later, I got a phone call from a guidance counselor and before i knew it, I had enrolled and am now in my first month of study.

It's going pretty well, I have my lazy days here and then and am embarrassingly behind on my reading.. but i'm up to date on my assignments which I'm proud of!

I got results back from my first ever assessment task (4.5 out of 5 which i believe calculates to something like 86% - i'm content with that).

Currently I am working on the last reading review of the assignment.. it's taken me 2 hours to sit down and actually start it.. ill get there, hopefully before its due (which is in 4 hours).

Oh and last week I got offered a position with Liquorland, so i'm leaving coles.

Basically, it's better pay, less hours, closer to home = save more money for my bloody car registration.

Anyway, enough rambling, I'll surely be back in a few days.

Promise!

Love from the worst procrastinator in the universe.

I was hoping that i'd have time on my birthday to write a quick blog.. but obviously that didn't happen..

My birthday was surprisingly better than I anticipated. On Saturday night, Ryan and I checked into a building of serviced apartments called "Nova Stargate". The name sounds funny, but when we got up to our room (a two bedroom apartment because the single room apartments were all booked out) it was actually really nice. It had a huge balcony too which was convenient for Ryan and his smoking habits.

Anyway, after walked down the wrong side of flinders lane, we turned around and finally found the Nectar Lounge where most of my friends were already waiting. This lounge had a whole heap of infused vodkas including flavours like Vegemite, Pink & Purple nerds, juicy fruit, mango, caramel, coco pops and more. The drinks ranged from $5 to $9 which was awesome. They even had a straightener in the girls bathroom which only cost $2 to use! Ha!

Such an awesome lounge, the atmosphere was really chilled out, and sadly it closes forever tonight!! Boo!

Anyway.. so most of my friends left at around 11pm, and we went in search of food and other good places to chill out.. didn't take us long to find McDonalds. Then we headed to Lion Bar for a while.

It was about 2am when the crowd only consisted of Me, Ryan, Tam, Kiman and Steven. I asked how the guys were getting home and they hadn't planned anything. So it was only smart to let them stay with us in our tiny apartment with 1 double, 1 single bed and a couch that hardly fit one person on it. But it worked out, they ended up sleeping on the floor haha.

I didn't wake up hung over which was awesome :) I think the amount of drinks I had was outnumbered by the amount of carbs I had eaten that night.

The past week has been really good.. I have some great news that I can't tell anyone yet, which really bugs me because I'm so excited..

I think the news should be safe to spread in 2-3 weeks! Woo!

:) Generally, life is pretty great.. There isn't much to complain about.

Off to Ryan's house for a night of movies in bed :)

Bye!!

Ps. My room smells like Vanilla Cake. mmmmm!

Tomorrow is my birthday!!

Although, in all honesty, i'm not really looking forward to it.

My birthday this year falls on a Tuesday, and I assume that everybody that means anything to me is busy with school or work. Including my boyfriend.

My prediction is that i'll wake up tomorrow AFTERNOON from an awesome sleep in, shower, do my hair and make up, and then sit in front of my laptop all afternoon in all my glorious nineteen-year-oldism.

Saturday should be good though. Hopefully, but i'm not entirely sure where i'm heading after the Nectar Lounge..

I think i've narrowed my search of hotel rooms down to about 5.. ryan wants a hotel that has a pool, and I need one that has an onsite car park. However, I don't know what good will become of having a swimming pool there, because I may be getting a new tattoo this coming Friday :) A birthday present from my lovely boyfriend :) Just sayin'

In terms of tattoos, I think i'll get some sort of script, either going across my lower back, or the side of my rib cage. YUM! and ouch at the same time.

I was thinking something.. Alice in Wonderland inspired. :D I love Alice in Wonderland. Seriously.

Anyhows.. i should start getting ready for another fan-fricken-tastic day at work..

Bye.

Evidently, the blog that I posted a fortnight ago has not yet come into effect.

After all the inspiration, looking at pictures on google for hours and watching beauty videos from people like 'juicystar07' and the lovely Michelle Phan, my plans to upload make up videos and random posts about what I'm wearing for the day have are yet to exist..

Instead, the past week, I flew up to Canberra with Ryan and his sister for their brother's wedding. It was lovely! It took place at a small, quaint winery which was nearing the centre of Canberra and Sydney and because of the location, we stayed at 3 different places in the 3 nights that we were interstate.

Unfortunately, I didn't bother to take photos of what I wore. But I think I looked pretty smashing ;)

I wore a light peach/apricot coloured dress that was neither too tight or too loose fitting, with a black sailor-inspired blazer (black with white lining around the edges) and a pair of tanned heels that had shoe laces. :)

I think its safe to say that it was $140 well spent on the shoes, which to my surprise were extremely comfortable for heels. For the whole day (from about 1ish to 11pm that night) my feet did not ache at all!

Now, I'm just working everyday, trying to make enough money for next weekend, which I hope, will be unforgettable, but yet not too expensive for me..

For those who are unfamiliar, My birthday is creeping up slowly! October 5th guys!

But i'm celebrating on the coming Saturday because the 5th falls on a Tuesday.

I need to search for a nice hotel room that ryan and I can stay at that night, or maybe even for 2 nights, depending on how I am going financially..

AAAAND.. i just realised I have a $70 phone bill to pay next week.. One night it is.

Time to pack a bag for Ryan's house. Enjoy your week!

Tata.

I wish that people would just let me do what i want to do instead of trying to mould me into something they want.

Life would be so much easier if I had love and support from my family to do what I want with it and if they just accepted the fact that I'm not going back to school.

Life would be so much easier if they realised that I am nothing like my sister who does everything right and is studying nutrition.

Whatever.

I wish she'd just disappear like that nail polish I swear I put in my bag..
