Nearly the end of the 2nd week of my 4week holiday, im bored... boredboredboredbored. seriously i would rather have had one week off and gone back straight away, nevermind, ill have another 2weeks to be miserable and bored at home.
I have had a couple of things to do this week though, this weekend is my dads big 50th birthday party, yeah it should be awsome, i have one problem, its a cocktail party, which means..... i have to wear.... (gulp) a dress!!! uh huh i know, scary stuff huh.
So the other day i went into town with a friend steph who is doing the degree with me and i thought well shit i'm here and it has to be done so i guess ill go shopping for a dress, now to all those that are thinking "why the hell is she putting a blog entry in about dress shopping??" its not because i like shopping, and its not even because i am that bored that i will write about anything, its because i DO NOT wear dresses, they are stupid stupid things. anyway, where was i....
oh yeah, so i had to go around trying on stupid dresses, steph kept picking out things with frills and even (shudder) pink... but i found one, its black, and isnt frilly.. anyway the horrors dont end there, steph being the girly girl that she is, and is somewhat of an expert on dressing up (she wore heels when we took the kids to go see cars) then tells me that we have to go and buy some shoes.... i believe she uttered the words strappy and high... i was feeling a little dizzy by this stage and had to sit down, but she was relentless and told me i could sit down when i was trying on shoes.
Sooooo off the the shoestore we go, the first thing she brought me had sparkly things on them... the 2nd one had, yep you guessed it pink, the third looked like they would be better suited as a deadly weapon and i knew that if i wore them the only person they were going to be deadly for was me... right... stop....i then have to explain to my petite blonde friend that while i know that her idea of a cocktail party involves intelligent conversation, sophistocated entertainment, and pretty frilly little drinks, this was my father, and the only reason it was a dressy cocktail party is because my step mother is desparate to see my dad in something that isnt full of holes or covered in dirt, (he didnt even wear a tie or button his shirt properly for their wedding) and there will be a very noisy live band, and enough rum to justify our family having shares in coruba and bacardi, i had to explain to her that it was on his property at the beach out the heads and that i would actually have to go outside and move around in these "shoes" she was pushing on me, so we found a pair of black heels that im willing to put money on being taken off before 10pm.
so yeah, thats about as exciting as my week has been, however i am sure i will have some good stories to tell after saturday

its over!
i am officially on holiday for 4 whole weeks!!!! PASSED ALL MY EXAMS and taylas birthday went well, so i can now relax, do whatever i want, and not be all stressed out n shit. yay
i can finally finish that damn painting and spend some proper time with tay. today we are going to go through her room and throw away all the old junk toys etc.. a task i am not looking forward to as tayla is a little hoarder.
trev, if ur reading this, i pity you when you get to this stage buddy. i mean tayla alone has enough toys to sink a ship, and she doesnt even play with over half of them, so i hate to think what the triplets rooms gunna look like!
So, when i go back to uni, im no longer a baby anymore! there will have been a new intake come through and they will be looking at us like WE know everything (thats how we looked at all the unit2 nurses) wont we be special haha
4 weeks.... hmmm what to do

sorry its been a while. this week is exam week. 6 exams, 4 days, so if i appear a little enxious and have developed a nervous twitch... thats why.
who wants to know about my exams to date? noone? well tough shit, cos im going to tell you.
Monday. first thing in the morning i had bioscience.... nervous systen, special senses, arrggghhh.
not easy but i think i did ok, i only need 60% to pass. monday afternoon. i had sociology... yawn, lots of writing, lots of big words, amazed i didnt feel asleep half way through, but i finished it and i think i passed that one too.#
Tuesday. first thing in the morning, nursing practice theory, 90questions, 90minutes, but i got it done in just over half an hour, and i got 82% in that one (she marked it nice and quick) tuesday afternoon is where it starts to get hairy, psychology, "oh you'll be fine. i have no worries about you" says the tutor. get bent says i. i think it was the hardest exam ive sat... ever. ive never failed a test let alone an exam... guess theres a first time for everything. but its ok cos i get one resit for it if i need it, should find out tomorrow or friday how bad it was.
Wed morning, Law and legislation, now this one was a piece of piss, and i was done within half an hour, all long answers no multi choice or nothing, so im happy about that. tomorrow afternoon i have my communication interview, where i have to show my empathy and all that other crap.. yeah yeah i know, what empathy right? its ok, i can fake it.
and then im on holiday for 4 whole weeks!!!
Speaking of 4, tayla turns 4 on saturday, so i have also been trying to plan a half arsed birthday party for her for sat afternoon. we went to the warehouse today, and i bought a GIANT bag of those really loud party popper thigs (along with about a hundred other things) i got in trouble from scott for buying them but i dont care, i like things that go bang!
ok im done, have to go get stuff ready for my exam tomorrow, so i will be back when i get my results back and let ya'll know how it all went down

Afternoon/evening all...
hehe im meant to be studying but i got bored, dont tell on me.
am home alone this afternoon as i had no afternoon lectures and scotts at work + tayla at school, they'll be home soon though.
im finding it distracting to do any work lately because my trade-me addiction has gone one step further and now i cant get off the trade me message boards haha they really are sooooo addictive!!!! so now i dont just buy stuff that i dont need i also go in and talk to a whole lot of people i dont know, what is really disturbing is that we all understand eachother, even when i revert to my crazy speak lol. tis a good place to go have a bitch and moan though.
anyway. i have no news, nothing exciting is happening, im boring i know, sorry about that.

ummmmm......... damn it i can never think of anything when i need to. OH I KNOW!!!
i've quit smoking AND drinking... sux the big one i tells ya, especially at the moment when im stressed bout exams, i mean how am i meant to study without my bacardi???? but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, so if my posts start getting all depressing and angry you know why.

anyway i better go cook dinner or something.. haha yeah right, you all know im going back on trademe, i cant deny it

loves ya!
