so, possibly have posted anything here in a while.

i'm alright. really should be studying which is why i'm trying to find as many tools of procrastination as possible. i've given up a quiz night/going out for this!

have 5 exams. and they're going to be over quick enough i guess (next week is study break, then have exams for a week and a half). i'm flying home on 26 june! which is in less than a month (: convention is in a month exactly. which i'm really looking forward to. it's going to be sooooo awesome. we've got some costumes sorted. which is so much more efficient than in first year when effectively i rocked up with nothing and pretty much wore em's clothes every night.

haven't been up to all that much recently (study can kind of take over your life...) but! i am actually seriously considering trying to manage a band next year. don't know if they'd want/have me? and don't know who. and don't know what it involves. but i think i'm going to look into it. anyone have any ideas? this perth band that i'm really into atm doesn't have a manager. and loving their music is a good place to start yeah?

going to a 21st tomorrow night (which is why i'm not out tonight) and it's out in the country. i'm pretty excited. heaps of people i love are going to be there. going to be a crazzzzzy night! teehee. hopefully the shed (literally) isn't too cold.

alrighty. that is all. maybe i'll get back into this.

so i haven't updated for ages. i also haven't been reading my f-page. sorry. i've been stressing quite a bit over exams. but! 2 more days and i'll be alright (: then it's only anatomy and histo. and i'm not that worried about anat. i <3 anatomy. really!

also, will have to start packing my room up after monday.

ok, that is all. i'm not dead.

i'm very very excited about the uk too! (: and wimbledon is going to be happening when i'm there too. and possibly going to stay with bal for a weekend at his place. whoot.


see you all soooooooon!

okay! so i've booked all my flights (for pretty much the rest of the year), and for the people interested, they're as follows:

leaving perth for sg: 17June (sunday)
leaving sg for uk: 22june (friday)

landing in sg from uk: 13july (friday)
leaving sg for perth: 21july (saturday)

so, there it is. we're going to have to work out days to meet up, etc. i forsee lunches cause i want to Try and spend lots of time with the family (:

whoooot. i'm really really excited about my uk trip! phoebe's going to be there for the first week that i'm there so we'll probably do some stuff together and then i can meet up with tom and do stuff with him. unfortunately will be leaving before phoebe/em/liz get to london after their tour. if only i'd planned earlier and gone with them - don't know how well i'd deal with camping though, hm. and i'll be staying with my cousin (: and i'll also have some time to explore the uk alone. possibly meet up with some of the uk delegates from mm07. we'll see how it all pans out (:

please let me know if you know of anyone else that's going to be touring there around then! or if you're going (duh) or places/things that i MUST see/do. whoot!!

quick update on what i've been up to the past week:
(also, under an eljay cut cause it's going to be long. it's in dot points, yes.)

( because i'm lazy )

that is the story of my life. i need more me time. i need more friends time. i need more study time. i need less time where i feel inadequate.


ok, so how've you been? (:


OH, i almost forgot, 69% for my midsem. i think that's decent. (: i also love how just about NO perth people know about the existence of this. ha.

i'm going to try and keep up with updating my journal. (and with my emails too. jeez, everyone should just get facebook. it's awesome. haha, huge influx of people all of a sudden! (: it's great.)

this weekend; committee getaway. basically a winding down session for everyone that helped out on the conference that happened in march. if you remember me talking about it. haha. rented 2 houses in an area about an hour's north of perth. there was a river & a sand bar then ocean. walking distance to the beach. it was great (:

- helped cook dinner on the first night (roster!)
- drinking games, chats, etc
- canoeing! saw many black swans. also have a really really bad thong (slippers?) tan now. it was present before, but now it's BAD
- beached it in the arvo. ok, we were at the part of the beach facing the ocean and it was pretty rough, overcast. i was standing with my back to the waves and one crashed on me. it was cool. THEN, the next one came in and it was so big it swept me off my feet and i landed on my tailbone (and was submerged under water). it hurt :(
- then got dunked. twice. the second time i couldn't stand up! the waves just kept coming and they were hell strong. i was getting pulled out by the undercurrent(?) as well. so my friend (THAT DUNKED ME, i blame him for my predicament in the first place) was grabbing me under my armpits and my legs were being pulled out to sea. he finally managed to help me to my feet. scary stuff :( i didn't want to drown!!!
- bring it on (: i got all excited when i saw the ad for it on tv. then told everyone and they're all like "ewww". and then when it comes on, we all fully get into it. haha.
- dancing!
- more drinking games. fun-er ones this time, teehee
- ep1 heroes
- brekkie
- clean up
HOME

it was a great weekend.

we then had dinner (:

i <3 these people. i'm so so so glad i did this conference. it's funny though. we get FULL ON CONTACT for a number of days. then nothing for a month or so. then MORE full on contact. i'm not complaining, it's just a bit odd. we're going to do heroes marathons & francis is going to teach me how to cook! yay.


facebook is awesome.

it's a rainy, miserable looking day today. just the right kind of day for study i guess. i don't long to be outside (though to be honest, that kind of feeling hardly Evah hits me).

this is just one more way i can procrastinate. really should be studying for the midsemester i have on tuesday. everyone reckons that they're underprepared but i have a feeling i trump everyone. i just haven't been able to motivate myself. and have so much left to do now that it's terribly overwhelming. there's no way i'm going to be able to cover everything & remember it at the same time. my own fault, for sure.

i've also managed to mess up so that i'm horribly busy this week. really shouldn't have changed the day for my GP visit. or rather, should have thought about it properly and checked everything before changing it. leaving it at it's original date would've been perfect! this flaw of mine seems to be biting me in the ass a lot more than i'd like it to. really must change these habits of mine!

so yeah, obviously a midsemester on tuesday. GP visit Wed afternoon. Red Party meeting Wed evening. was hoping to go to capt S on Wed too, we shall see how that works out! have committee getaway this weekend. so basically means that i'm going to be out of the swing of things again. i can only hope that i'll keep up with lectures this week. (i'm finding that going to lectures is really helpful with study - big surprise there.)

anyway, enough whinging and procrastinating. really must go and study.

no more facebook! it's still awesome. but no more til.. tomorrow. ok, til my midsem's over :(

haha, i'm so excited! and he's totally made my day - and it isn't even that much. have received a postcard all the way from london from good ol' tom (: much love goes out to him. i hope he's having a great time & he better give me his mailing address some time soon. he's having so much fun. i still wish he was here though :( we're all missing him!

ok, Easter break has officially started. we have a week of non-teaching study break. and study is what i will be doing! among some other things. really do have lots to catch up on.

i have finally started work now. have done some shelving shifts & will have my first full shift sunday week (14/15? april). will be working 10 hours a week. which, if i can't cope with will decrease in second sem. we'll see. it'll be nice to be earning my own money. i wonder if i'll be able to make do AND save on it. probably not, knowing me.

also, allied health was on last night. it was good fun (: there were just WAY WAY WAY too many people there. people that i knew and people in general. it reminded me a fair bit of med dinner. where there was just so much going on i couldn't quite decide where i wanted to be. so i spent a good part of the night looking for people i knew. i also thought i'd taken lots of photos - which is decidedly not the case now that i'm looking at them, sadly. also, being door bitch for about an hour wasn't too bad. towards the end i just got bored though - there weren't as many people coming through and there were more problems. so i was lucky to be relieved (: yeah! and there were people i saw coming through the door but never saw them again once i was in there. ohwell. also saw a number of people that were vaguely familiar but couldn't place them. ohwell. randoms!

( i have some photos: )

so yeah, had a good time. shall go with a different mindset next year and i think i'll have even more fun (: haha.

i've been a really bad friend lately. i just haven't had time to reply emails, even texts sometimes. sorry guys.

lots has happened since the start of semester! good & bad. yeah, too bad it hasn't been all good - most disappointing. though i guess we can't expect that.

so the IF/MSA conference happened over weeks 2/3 of uni. and i'm still (academically) recovering from it - have about 30 lectures & 6 labs that i need to ilecture/go through/make notes for. basically i've missed all of GIT (gastro intestinal tract for the uninitiated, haha) and i'm hoping to finish catching up before the start of the midsemester break. that's in a week and a half, so i don't really see it happening to be honest!

anyway, the conference was good fun (: met heaps of international med students and they all just come from such diverse backgrounds and most of them knew how to have a good time! much fun (: even better than that though, was the organising committee. i have so much love for them now. haha, and i got baby-ed a fair bit cause i was the youngest on committee (only second year. and there were 2 3rd years). but they're all such great people. <3!

have really started to get back into the swing of uni. past 5 lectures i've paid attention and taken good notes! so i'm pretty happy with that (: now i just have to get up to date.

jeez, sorry guys. i've just been so busy/tired/stressed out (well, not really. just the first two) this week that i haven't had time to update. and i'm not really going to start now. after the next couple of weeks are over, i'll be much much free-er which'll be awesome. can't deny that i've met HEAPS of awesome awesome med people these 2 weeks though. the older years seem to be great (: i have much love for those that i know! <3


so yeah, 8am start tomorrow. i'm off, bye guys.
