One week down, 11 to go

Not liking uni and I still have 3.5 years to go.
I'm a practical hands on learner which is probably why I like my biomed side because of all the pracs and stuff but like LECTURES kill me. I absorb pretty much nothing. But I'm pretty sure this is the case for everyone.

Hasn't been a very productive week, thankfully it's only first week so I can relax a little.
Been trying to read the first chapter of my marketing book and it's soooooo damn dry and the words are printed almost into the spine so you have to keep making a 90 degree L-shape to read it. Bloody annoying

I've gotten one textbook so far, one is on its way from the UK and the other was supposedly "misplaced" by the courier service and the company has no more stock...But I got refunded which is good but now I have no textbook and my only options are to buy it from uni for $128 or buy it off ebay from a different seller $98 inc express shipping.

Today I got some new apps on my phone cos I was sick of reading the marketing textbook. First one I got was a photo editor just for the fun of it. Then I got an alarm app which is supposed to try and wake you up during light sleep not deep sleep so you don't wake up grumpy cos you got blasted out of your dream. And the third app and probably most helpful is the Metlink App, although the android one is crap compared to the Apple one. But its better than taking photos of the bus timetable and zooming in every time you need to check when the next bus is.

How's your week been?

Back to uni

My 4.5 week holiday has unfortunately come to an end and it's time for uni again.

Though it was a good last few days. 

-My bestie's b'day party

-Went clubbing (though the hangover in the morning was badddd. Worth it? YEP)

-Spending time with the boy after him being overseas for a few weeks

-Watching the final Harry Potter =[

I still have a list of things to do this morning before I head off because I've obviously been too lazy to do them in the holidays.

This semester is going to be insane.

Hopefully I'll find time to post some interesting things

But most of all I hope to stay on top of all my work this semester. 

Good Luck to everyone back at uni today!

Product: BYS Nail Polish Cracked - Black

A little off the productivity trail BUT the best and probably only time I apply nail polish is when I'm watching tv/dramas/youtube. Multitasking!! And there's less chance you'll smudge it. When I was in Geelong I had an hour to kill in the morning so I decided to walk around a tiny Kmart opposite to where we were staying. I encountered a whole shelf of BYS nail polishes which I wished was in my room (they had soooooo many colours). I spotted the cracked finish ones (much like OPI's Kate Perry Black Shatter except at a fraction of the price) and just had to get it. $4 which is pretty reasonable for a nail polish.

The consistency is thin but one layer is all you need. I don't know how it is so pigmented and whether it is only the cracked series that have this consistency+pigmentation, I hope all the other colours are the same as I might go get another one. However I do think you need to apply it when the base colour isn't completely dried yet as the first time I did it, it turned out pretty well but the second time I let by base colour dry completely and the black didn't crack properly it just flaked.

Base Coat


Still wet cracked coat


Dried coat


Hopefully I can figure out why it didn't work out.

Boring post much?

And the count stops at day 10

I can't find the motivation to do the everyday posts nor will I have the time to once I start uni.
So from now on I'm just going to post whenever and whatever.
Hopefully whoever actually reads this blog doesn't mind.
Promise to blog soon

Day 8,9,10

Eeeppppp a little behind

Day 8:
The day I watched my bank account go down down down.
I had a bad day the day before and I went shopping with my bestie and we got some things
In my defence IT WAS CHEAP AS CHIPS!
Total original price was $300 and I got it for $40.
If my maths is correct that's almost 90% off.

Day 9:
Went and played badminton and basketball with my friends
It was pretty fun except now my right side is sore cos my friend was teaching me how to shoot properly in basketball and kept making me shoot and shoot and shoot
Then we went and played monopoly and it was pretty epic
Out for dinner
And then DESSERT and I had a super delicious honkie waffle *droooollll*

Day 10:
Went shopping with my family
Except when we go shopping its never for fun things
Went to officeworks, bunnings, rays outdoors, computer shop
ALL THE GUY SHOPS!!
Also watched a pretty intense mind boggling movie, The Adjustment Bureau.

Sorry not exactly the usual type of blog
Hopefully I'll get back to those tomorrow

Plan for tomorrow
-Finish organising photos
-Finish organising recipes
-Clean desk
-Check marketplace for textbooks
-BLOGGGGG

Day 7

Today

-Seriously go job hunting

-Clean desk (HALF DONE)

-Oganise some more recipes (I'm 95% done)

-Do a food blog post (I HAVE AN EXCUSE)

Today was pretty productive however it was a very sad day.

Things were looking good as I got out of bed within 30 mins of waking up

I went job hunting and I was feeling pretty good

Came home and decided to reward myself with tv drama

AND MY LAPTOP DIESSSSSSSSSSSS

my brother spent all day trying to save it

but he can't

well he can if he can get another hard drive since my hard drive completely died 

but my laptop is 6.5 years old, not much point

And as a result I've lost my resume

And I gave all my copies out this morning

Which means I have to retype a new one

Which probably doesn't seem like a big deal

But it took me 3 years of "I will write a resume this holidays" before it got done

And then my memory card for my camera screwed up as well

Which is why I had so much time to organise all my recipes as I didn't really have much else to do

Tomorrow

-Going out shopping

   -Find some new jeans

-Write up blog posts

RIP Lappy

No photo today

Day VI

Today

-Keep organising recipes

-Put straightener away

-Put suitcase away

-Clean desk

-Finish sorting through SA trip photos

-Find a job?

Whoops, only managed to finish half the list

because I ended up watching Hong Kong Dramas

with my favourite Honkie actor, Kevin Cheng

And I paid a visit to my dentist

Now my teeth are all clean =D

Tomorrow

-Seriously go job hunting

-Clean desk

-Oganise some more recipes

-Do a food blog post

I'm having trouble getting out of bed

Really crack down on getting out of bed within 15 mins of waking up

Not 2 hours =.="

Any ideas on how?

Day 5

Productivity: 60% (still need to devise a proper calculation system)

My room still looks like a bomb site

I have all my recipes all over my desk and ground because I spent most of today trying to file them all. 

I'm going to need the rest of the week to finish them all off. 

Today:

-Paid phone bill

-Bought present for my friend

-I unpacked everything but I still have to put my suitcase away

-Spent ages sorting and deleting photos from my SA trip, which means no blog post yet

-Watched Hawaii Five-O, Masterchef, Amazing Race

-Played Wii 

Tomorrow:

-Keep organising recipes

-Put straightener away

-Put suitcase away

-Clean desk

-Finish sorting through SA trip photos

-Find a job?

Just wearing some sunnies I got for free when I was at uni games.

Have you said you'll clean something but you never do it?

I've been organising this recipe collection for a year or two now.

This holidays it HAS to get done

Well after 2 weeks of busyness its back to productivity

I HAVE AN EXCUSE OKAY!
because all lazy people manage to come up with excuses...

Here's mine
The day after exams I went to South Australia for a week (I shall photodump soon, once I sort through all the photos)
I spent the next few days going out with the bf cos he was leaving to go on holiday
And then I went to play Southern Uni Games for a few days

Which now leaves me with 2 weeks of holidays left
And a crap load of stuff to do

Plan for today
-Pay phone bill
-Buy present for friend
-Unpack my stuff from Uni Games
-Blog about South Australia
-Blog about recent products
-Organise recipes

Better get cracking!
