Thursday May 14th
I ended up being very tired the next morning and not wanting to meet with my group. After I had gotten all cozied up in bed, the phonr rang. Stacey called and I couldnt resist catching up with her. We talked for about an hour or so. I was wide awake by 115am, when I let her go, but I had to, otherwise I would not function well the following day!
I went to Uni and was the first out of my group to arrive. Right on time. I waited about ten minutes to get a computer. Its crunch time for uni students and getting a computer at uni is no easy task.
I texted both girls to see if they had forgotten. No answers. Naomi showed next. Only 5 min late. Not an issue. We began working away. We worked at it for an hour and Mia was a no show. We finished as much as we could with out her and Naomi had to leave. I stayed behind to work on some other assignments.
About an hour and a half after the agreed upon meeting time, Mia shows up. She starts asking about where Naomi is. I told her that she was late and that we had already finished the meeting. She went on to complain about how Naomi was not there. I gave it right back to her. I was not impressed. This is the girl who is always late to class by at least 30 min, and she also had the nerve to tell me not to be late! I went over what we needed to do. I went home letting her have my hard earned computer! Grr!
Once home, I accompanied Jess to Maroochydore. She had to work out some business with student loans or what not- something to do with the gov't since they pay uni students to go to Uni. Lucky jerks! haha I had to go and pay my speeding ticket! Not fun at all! Waiting in line for Jess's thing took the longest- but only an hour about for the whole time spent. Back at home.
Once home, I grabbed a bag of gym stuff. I was walking to the gym when Ron passed by and offered me a ride. Sweet! I got to the gym a bit early and did some arm training. Then I joined in for the abs class. It was a pretty good one. Feel the burn- love the burn! WOot woOT!! Then I stayed for Body Attack. The instructor is slightly mental. I loved it. She worked us soo hard. it was fun, but I was new and the burn was intense. I cannot wait for my next Body Attack! I think she even yelled at me once and made the whole class hold for an extra 8 count because I fell out of the move! lol Oops! No body glared at me from the angle I was in. tehee!
I went and stretched after class. Im a stretch junkie! Hooked! Hooked on stretching! I will be the next victum on the show "Intervention"! haha I took a nice long shower at the gym. Its such a nice shower! Then I got dressed and started walking home.
Just as I was leaving, RING!! It was Chakely. Wondering if I was coming out tonight. I told him my deal and he came to pick me up as I was walking home. It was him and Dan- the cousins!
They took me home and waited about 20 min for me to get ready. once completly ready, we went to Cammy B's house. I met his parents- Tracey and Paul. Nice folks. Had a glass of wine and we all laughed at how JJ sucked at playing cricket. It was on video. Just imagine an Emo boy, aged 19, in his black skinnys, a borrowed white beater, and a tensor bandage that he was told to wear, with white goves and a hat. hahah It was hilarious. I guess on this particular day, Brock needed a partner to play with him. JJ stepped up and wasnt all that great. Threw at about the same level as I would! hahahah Good laugh!
We finally were on our way to go see Cammy's friends play in a band. Marsden lee's. It was at the Ginning Dog pub. Kind of a funky place. Steak house too. The band wasnt too bad. Shonleigh and a bunch of my friends were there and we had a good time. The bartender seemed to think it was funny when I asked for water on the rocks. haha
After the band finished playing, it was still early. We all went to the Sands bar. It was Uni night. UGH! The floor on the inside was covered in used plastic cups. Met someinteresting people. Mat and Dan both had to work in the morning, so we didnt stay long. I didnt want to stay long anyways.
Dan drove me home and Mat insisted on walking me to my door. Unneccessary, but he insisted as it was how he was raised! Such nice young men!! :P
Went straight to bed once I was home. AHHH sleep!!

Lets Get Physical!!
Thrusday May 7th
Wake up call.
Maintenance was in to fix my chair. They had been in yesterday, but nothing was doen with the chair. Today they replaced it. The new one is much better! It makes me use good posture where as the last one made me slump and I was getting a sore back. Happy me!
I went to Uni to meet with my group. The girl who warned me not to be late, showed up 45 min after the pre- determined time. We had already discussed everything by then and had no need to wait for her, but we decided to call her anyways. She seemed to be a bit upset that we met up so early, even though she picked the time. She said she was on her way, and so we felt obligated to wait for her. When she did arrive, she complained about us meeting early and wanted to discuss everything again, even though we had briefed her already. She annoys me big time! Ugh!
My back was hurting, I think this was because of the chair. I was suppose to work on my assignment a bit more, but I had already spent aobut three hours on it already this morning. Shon was going to the plaza to get a few things and so I went with her! I was having huge cravings. Shonliegh decided to be a very bad friend and took me to a candy store. Only they call them Lollies! They had imported candies here. I bought some Pop Tarts, OHenrys, and a Butter Finger! Plus some other little candies. I miss the junk from home! Im not into the junk here! Almost a good thing, except that I binge when I do find something I like. I never really use to eat much of it back home... hmmm!
Came back home. Pom was here. I gave him a pop tart since his nick name from me is "pop tart"! We all played some tennis. By this time it was late in the evening. Everyone wanted to go to the Bud Tav, but I stayed home to work on my urinalysis assignment that was due the next day.
As I was finishing up, Justin called. We ended up talking on the phone for about 5-6 hours. When I finally left my room for air, it was about 330 am. Everyone was back from Bud Tav. Shonleigh. Brock, and Yates were downstairs having a very adult conversation. I joined in and soon after went to bed.
Friday May 8th
I was up early in sweat pants printing off my assignment and handing it in. I was soooo sleepy from my late night. I went home and had a nap. When I finally woke up, I showered and got ready for my day. Ate some lunch too. Amanda had signed up and bought a gym membership. It sounded pretty good and she had wrote my name down. They called me and I made an appointment to go meet them.
I went to meet them at 5pm. Bianca was the lady who gave me the tour and told me about the gym. The start up fee was a womping $250.00!!! Ya I dont think so. So she went to go " talk to the manager" to see if she could lower it. She came back with this coupon that was expired... and it was down to $99.00!! Still rediculous. So she went yet again to the "managers" office to reduce it. $60.00. She also got the weekly fee down to $16.50 from $19.00. It is a bit expensive, but I dont have to pay it all at once. It comes out of my account every fort night and I can cancel it at any time. If I go away somewhere, I can put it on hold as well. They also offer alot of classes and have a sauna and it is a pretty nice facility.
I talked to Amanda about it later. They did the whole same skit with her. I swear she just went in on Fb instead of talking to the manager. She probably has this whole thing set up like this so she can see how much she can get out of people. Ugh!
I went to Wooleys and grabbed some groceries. I met up with Amanda Long and some of her friends on the way. When I got home, it was already into the evening. Branda, Amanda and I watched some movies. Chakley, girl and boy yates came over for a bit and chatted. I sent some fun text messages back and fourth with Justin while he was at work, and then I went to bed.
Saturday may 9th
Up early to go to the gym. Amanda and I did the Body Combat work out. Rachel was there as well. It was a really intense work out. At one point, Amanda asked if I was ok because I was really white. Rachel had also commented on how white I was getting. I guess everyone in the class was getting red and I was getting pale!! When they said this to me, I took it down a notch. I think I was working myself too hard. It was alot of fun though. Lots of martial arts kicks and such.
We went home and got ready for the beach. It was Brocks 19th birthday and his family was having a BBQ for him by the beach. Laura picked us up in her mini. She had the top down and I got to wear a scarf around my head with my sunnys on just like in the movies!! I loved it!! I wish we had a picture! Its too bad she is leaving for Scottland and we wont be driving in the mini anymore! :(
Once there, we met Brock family. Really nice people. His dad even made a chocolate cake. I dont usually like chocolate, but it was damn yummy! It looked a little questionable, but there certainly were no questions after I ate it, died and went to heaven!
We played cricket, and then some footy- which is rugby! Shonleigh and I were the captains, but the boys never passed me the ball, even though I was in the right spot. Im not half bad at this kind of stuff. After while of running around trying to play with them, I retired and gave up. Luckily by this time, most of our friends were done as well. We all went for a swim in the ocean. Miss Kim even came out with us but did not have her togs on. Her and Shon stayed on shore. It was only a qick swim as it is getting chillier here.
Later that night, everyone was drinking. I had done my hair all funky with curls. I have never worn it like this before and quite enjoyed it. Everyone was drinking, save me and Jess. There wasnt many people at my place. It was Chakley, Brock, Pom, Shon, Jess, Amanda and I. The night was pretty calm and we watched a movie. Then they turned some music on and the party started a little bit. Jess was showing Miss Kim how to walk and dance like a gangster. It was soo funny. Branda is such a good sport.
Jess and I were DD's. I drove Shonleighs car, and Jess in hers. We went to the Yankee bar. It was this crowed small two room upstairs bar in Mooloolaba. There were three different birthdays going on here including Brocks and JJ's. We didnt stay long. This is a good thing. It wasnt my kind of place. Too many youngsters. Boo. The live band was good though.
I drove us to Mooloolaba pub. Here it was alot more fun. I was on the dance floor for alot of it. I did meet some Canadians here as well. One guy was even from St. Albert. His name is Adam and he is here doing business. He has been here for 1.5 years already. We talked with him for a while. Mostly, we danced.
I even found chakely this hot blonde girl. At first, she had come up to Adog and I and was talking to us. Then she left, and I found Mat and told him he had to meet his dream girl. I introduced them on the dance floor, and BOOM! She was all over him and even singing him the words to the song, " You want a piece of me!!" He soo could have made his move but I think he chickened out because she was a bit too drunk. Fair enough! He is a nice guy! Im just saying, I could have gotten him some action! hahahaha
While we were dancing, we heard that Jess drove Yates home, and on the way, he spewed all in her car on the dash board and everywhere. He even got poor little Jess! When we finally arrived home via me, ( yay I was successfully DD on the oppisite side of the road on a bar night here at home!!!) We heard Jess screaming out to us from her window. She was soo pissed and said she was never going to be DD again. Yates was far too drnk to clean it up, and it had to be cleaned that night. I dont blame her.
I came into my place and had a snack, then off to bed. Chakely and Pom passed out on the couch. pom had been very drunk!
Sunday May 10th
I woke up early to gym it up. Pom thought Adog and I were insane. We attended a yoga- tai chi- and pilates class. It was a really good one. I really enjoyed it. So far soo good about this gym business!
I got home to find that Pom and Chakley had left. The place was pretty messy. I made some food ad began to clean. It didnt take long. It never does. Branda came to help and did the dishes.
I went out with Adog to sun by the pool. We were also reading our text books too. I then had a shower and a nap. Talked to Justin and worked on some home work. I was pretty hungry for some kind of a snack when Jess came over. We decided to make some biscuits. We found a recipe online and collected our ingridients. The only thing missing was flour which we borrowed from Beca. We didnt have very much, so we basically guessed the amounts of all ingridients. Ploped them on a cookie sheet and in they went. When they came out, they looked like large sponge cookies. I called them biscuits, but Jess called them scones. However, they looked like cookies. We named them Scoonkies! hahah
We went to visit Shonleigh down at her work. I got a Tim Tam drink- so delicious! We hung out with Shon for a bit and then went home. I worked a bit more on school work and called it a day!
Monday May 11th
Had a wake up text, did some school work and met with my group. It went over much better this time. The one girl was late, by about 30 min, but it didnt matter as we didnt need her for all of it. We worked on what we had. Its coming together. I worked ahile more after they went to their classes and then I went home. I talked with Justin and had a nap.
I went to my last class. Its sad that Amy isnt in this class with me anymore. She had to switch because the hours for her practical placement swithced. :( It was still a good class. We went over material for our patho exam, which will be the most difficult!
I went to the gym with Adog afterwards. No classes were at this time, so we just did some cardio and someother stuff. We did a very good work out and even used the showers after. I love tile floored showers. They just feel soo great. I dont know what it is! We walked home.
I made something to eat and talked to Justin on the phone. I had worked on an assignment today and had it on my computer not saved yet. I wasnt quite doen it as I had to find a reference for it. I was online searching for one when my computer decided to freeze on me!! UGH NO!!!! I had to turn it off manually and I lost my assingment! I tried everything I could to save it, but no luck! It was goners! :(
I went to bed and had a horrible dream all night. Everytime I would wake up and go back to sleep, I would go straight back into the horrible dream. Im not even going to say what it was about, as it has to deal with a fb message I had recieved a week before!
Tuesday May 12th
Wake up call. Feeling better now that I did have to be asleep dreaming that horrible dream!
I went to tutorial. I talked to my instructor about my absence from last class. She said it was no big deal and handed me the roll call sheet from last class to sign my name off of!! This is exactly the kind of things I am talking about. This is why I think Aus is soo slack! lol I also was suppose to have that assignment handed in by now, but my comp froze and so I did not have it submitted. She said as long as I had it in by tonight it would be fine. hahahah Im laughin! ( not in front of her obviously !!)
I came home and the internet was being funny. How annoying. I need to do this assignment!! Grr! So I decided I would catch up on my blogging as I dont necessarily need the internet to type it out. When the internet was finally working, I completed and submitted my assignment.
The boys came over and played tennis. I had an appointment at the gym for 530 for an assessment. When I got there, they took my measurments and blood pressure, height and weight. 118/ 79, pulse 70. I am slowly getting used to the kg instead of pounds. Its funny how we say in Canada that we are metric, but somehow we use imperial for some things. Its like we couldnt make up our minds! The lady- same age as me, so its funny calling her a lady- showed me some exercises that are best suited for my fittness goal. By the time we were done, Amanda had arrived at the gym. We took part in a class. It was called Body Jam. It was alot of fun too. It is a bunch of dance moves. Different kinds of dancing too. Crump, Jazz, hip hop and so on. As much as I really liked it, I didnt get a full work out not knowing all the moves. This is normal since it was my first Body Jam class. It will take many more classes before I get the hang and full benefit of my workout.
Amanda and I stayed awhile longer and did some more cardio, stretches, and a workout. By time we were ready to leave, I had spent three hours at the gym!! OMG!! I am turning into a junkie! I have to admitt, I am being healthy, unlike this lady we always see who we have named Ann. I swear she is anorexic. She was in the ladies work out area before we got there and we noticed that she did 40 min on the eliptical, then went straight to the tread mill afterwards and did another run on there! She had it on the most it could incline as well. By time we left, she was still on it! I have seen her before walking from Uni. She is a stick. She is blonde and you would think she would be pretty, but all you can see is her skeleton. Arms- bones, - legs through clothing- bones, - face- a skull! Pale eyes with deep purple bags! She has a thick layer of hair on her body. This makes up for the lack of body fat and muscle needed to keep her warm. Its really sad to see actually.
I got home and showered. I was just making some food when Justin called. He was just getting up for work. I went to bed. Phone rings again. I thought it would be Justin, but its Brock. Him, yates, Shonleigh, and Jess are all at the Uni trying to finish this 2000 word paper for economics. Its about midnight thirty. He wants to know if I want to go for a ride with him because everyone is soo far behind that they dont have time, but are very hungry. I say- why not? - and jump into some sweats.
I met Brock outside. Yates drove. Apparently, when he heard I was going, he insisted he come along as well. haha We drove to Mackers and back- they dropped me off and I went back to bed.
Wednesday May 13th
Up and readying myself for the day. Really sleepy today. The Mackers run really did me over! Justin called just as I was heading out the door. I picked Amanda up and we headed to uni for lecture. Lecture was sooo boring. I dont think anyone absorbed anything that was said. I think it was the teaching style of the substitute we had. Nearing the end of the two hour lecture, she mentions to us that we should know this one part as it is what our exam subject is based on. We all start to chatter and someone finally raises their hand correcting her by saying our topic is diabetis!!! This shocked appearance takes over her face and she quickly apololgizes after muttering "oh no!" She had given us the entirely wrong lecture!!! We were suppose to go into depth about diabetis!!! UGH!!! There is no way to fix this either! Looks like we will have to do it on our own! What a waste of time!
After lecture, I quickly came home to grab my computer and a snack for lunch. An orange and some granola- musli bars. Amy and some friends were going to be going over the annotated bibliography for a couple of hours in the library. I decided to join them as my referencing technique needed some work!
We got set up which took awhile since we all had our lap tops and there was only a certain amount of plug in's. We finally found enough but had to play musical chairs because mine would only fit in a single outlet, not a double- stupid adaptor!! haha We were settled and I now had to connect to the internet! Ugh bloody hell! That is a whole process in its self! So after a long while of doing this, I was finally connected. I did some reading up on the assignment and went to go check fb. Ok- it wont let me! ugh whatever. Not a big deal. I will just check it later. i go to look at some scientific journals- the internet wont let me. It will only let me do certain things. Grr! Why come to the library at all! its taking me three times the amount of time I would usually take! I cleared up some confusion about referencing and I went home!
Shonleigh was home when I arrived. I made myself a delicious egg sandwhich and talked with her awhile. I then came upstairs and went through some e mails. My sister Melissa decided to send me about 100 the other day! Now I know how people feel when I send them emails! haha Oh well! What goes around comes around. Time for lecture.
On my way to lecture- accompanied by Jess- I saw Rachel. She said none of them were going to lecture, its just about nursing implications for an infection. Very basic, we do this often as a nurse. I was already on my way and decided to go anyways. It ended up being pretty interesting, and I think I had more of an attention span since they were not there.
I came home and made a visit to the boys, who had come over to play tennis. Then I came in and Brock joined me. I taught him how to play speed and whipped his bum several times. He had only beat me once! Time for the gym. Amanda and I got a ride from Ben in his sweet little white truck- or ute as they call them. It smelled of puppy.
We got to the gym and took a step class. It was good. Made us sweat, but the instructor I think was a little bit funny. Almost uncomfortable and lazy like. She also had a bit of a gut. Im wondering whether she just had a baby or something. I always look at instructors to see if the workouts are very beneficial! I dont think hers was working out so well. I dont think step is for me. Im sure I can give myself a better full work out on my own. Oh well. Still fun. I plan on trying out all the classes!
Did some extra ab workout and stretching after and hit the showers. Amanda and I are getting pretty close. We had a good talk on the way home, as we often do. Once home, I made some food and watched House. I think it was the very first time I turned on the tv alone. It was kind of nice. Miss Kim came home and joined me on the couch. I then went upstairs and talked to Justin on the phone. Shonleigh came home from work and we chatted it up for a bit too. Gossip about this and that. Boys and girls! Same ol' same ol'. 9 days george dead. Yes I realize you do not understand that last statment. That is for me to remember only! hahaha
Bed time! Yes I know this last day is written in the future for you in Canada. How crazy is that! My May 12th is just ending and yours is just begining!!! :) Cheers!
Wake up call.

We went to visit Shonleigh down at her work. I got a Tim Tam drink- so delicious! We hung out with Shon for a bit and then went home. I worked a bit more on school work and called it a day!
Monday May 11th
Had a wake up text, did some school work and met with my group. It went over much better this time. The one girl was late, by about 30 min, but it didnt matter as we didnt need her for all of it. We worked on what we had. Its coming together. I worked ahile more after they went to their classes and then I went home. I talked with Justin and had a nap.
I went to my last class. Its sad that Amy isnt in this class with me anymore. She had to switch because the hours for her practical placement swithced. :( It was still a good class. We went over material for our patho exam, which will be the most difficult!
I went to the gym with Adog afterwards. No classes were at this time, so we just did some cardio and someother stuff. We did a very good work out and even used the showers after. I love tile floored showers. They just feel soo great. I dont know what it is! We walked home.
I made something to eat and talked to Justin on the phone. I had worked on an assignment today and had it on my computer not saved yet. I wasnt quite doen it as I had to find a reference for it. I was online searching for one when my computer decided to freeze on me!! UGH NO!!!! I had to turn it off manually and I lost my assingment! I tried everything I could to save it, but no luck! It was goners! :(
I went to bed and had a horrible dream all night. Everytime I would wake up and go back to sleep, I would go straight back into the horrible dream. Im not even going to say what it was about, as it has to deal with a fb message I had recieved a week before!
Tuesday May 12th
Wake up call. Feeling better now that I did have to be asleep dreaming that horrible dream!
I went to tutorial. I talked to my instructor about my absence from last class. She said it was no big deal and handed me the roll call sheet from last class to sign my name off of!! This is exactly the kind of things I am talking about. This is why I think Aus is soo slack! lol I also was suppose to have that assignment handed in by now, but my comp froze and so I did not have it submitted. She said as long as I had it in by tonight it would be fine. hahahah Im laughin! ( not in front of her obviously !!)
I came home and the internet was being funny. How annoying. I need to do this assignment!! Grr! So I decided I would catch up on my blogging as I dont necessarily need the internet to type it out. When the internet was finally working, I completed and submitted my assignment.
The boys came over and played tennis. I had an appointment at the gym for 530 for an assessment. When I got there, they took my measurments and blood pressure, height and weight. 118/ 79, pulse 70. I am slowly getting used to the kg instead of pounds. Its funny how we say in Canada that we are metric, but somehow we use imperial for some things. Its like we couldnt make up our minds! The lady- same age as me, so its funny calling her a lady- showed me some exercises that are best suited for my fittness goal. By the time we were done, Amanda had arrived at the gym. We took part in a class. It was called Body Jam. It was alot of fun too. It is a bunch of dance moves. Different kinds of dancing too. Crump, Jazz, hip hop and so on. As much as I really liked it, I didnt get a full work out not knowing all the moves. This is normal since it was my first Body Jam class. It will take many more classes before I get the hang and full benefit of my workout.
Amanda and I stayed awhile longer and did some more cardio, stretches, and a workout. By time we were ready to leave, I had spent three hours at the gym!! OMG!! I am turning into a junkie! I have to admitt, I am being healthy, unlike this lady we always see who we have named Ann. I swear she is anorexic. She was in the ladies work out area before we got there and we noticed that she did 40 min on the eliptical, then went straight to the tread mill afterwards and did another run on there! She had it on the most it could incline as well. By time we left, she was still on it! I have seen her before walking from Uni. She is a stick. She is blonde and you would think she would be pretty, but all you can see is her skeleton. Arms- bones, - legs through clothing- bones, - face- a skull! Pale eyes with deep purple bags! She has a thick layer of hair on her body. This makes up for the lack of body fat and muscle needed to keep her warm. Its really sad to see actually.
I got home and showered. I was just making some food when Justin called. He was just getting up for work. I went to bed. Phone rings again. I thought it would be Justin, but its Brock. Him, yates, Shonleigh, and Jess are all at the Uni trying to finish this 2000 word paper for economics. Its about midnight thirty. He wants to know if I want to go for a ride with him because everyone is soo far behind that they dont have time, but are very hungry. I say- why not? - and jump into some sweats.
I met Brock outside. Yates drove. Apparently, when he heard I was going, he insisted he come along as well. haha We drove to Mackers and back- they dropped me off and I went back to bed.
Wednesday May 13th
Up and readying myself for the day. Really sleepy today. The Mackers run really did me over! Justin called just as I was heading out the door. I picked Amanda up and we headed to uni for lecture. Lecture was sooo boring. I dont think anyone absorbed anything that was said. I think it was the teaching style of the substitute we had. Nearing the end of the two hour lecture, she mentions to us that we should know this one part as it is what our exam subject is based on. We all start to chatter and someone finally raises their hand correcting her by saying our topic is diabetis!!! This shocked appearance takes over her face and she quickly apololgizes after muttering "oh no!" She had given us the entirely wrong lecture!!! We were suppose to go into depth about diabetis!!! UGH!!! There is no way to fix this either! Looks like we will have to do it on our own! What a waste of time!
After lecture, I quickly came home to grab my computer and a snack for lunch. An orange and some granola- musli bars. Amy and some friends were going to be going over the annotated bibliography for a couple of hours in the library. I decided to join them as my referencing technique needed some work!
We got set up which took awhile since we all had our lap tops and there was only a certain amount of plug in's. We finally found enough but had to play musical chairs because mine would only fit in a single outlet, not a double- stupid adaptor!! haha We were settled and I now had to connect to the internet! Ugh bloody hell! That is a whole process in its self! So after a long while of doing this, I was finally connected. I did some reading up on the assignment and went to go check fb. Ok- it wont let me! ugh whatever. Not a big deal. I will just check it later. i go to look at some scientific journals- the internet wont let me. It will only let me do certain things. Grr! Why come to the library at all! its taking me three times the amount of time I would usually take! I cleared up some confusion about referencing and I went home!
Shonleigh was home when I arrived. I made myself a delicious egg sandwhich and talked with her awhile. I then came upstairs and went through some e mails. My sister Melissa decided to send me about 100 the other day! Now I know how people feel when I send them emails! haha Oh well! What goes around comes around. Time for lecture.
On my way to lecture- accompanied by Jess- I saw Rachel. She said none of them were going to lecture, its just about nursing implications for an infection. Very basic, we do this often as a nurse. I was already on my way and decided to go anyways. It ended up being pretty interesting, and I think I had more of an attention span since they were not there.
I came home and made a visit to the boys, who had come over to play tennis. Then I came in and Brock joined me. I taught him how to play speed and whipped his bum several times. He had only beat me once! Time for the gym. Amanda and I got a ride from Ben in his sweet little white truck- or ute as they call them. It smelled of puppy.
We got to the gym and took a step class. It was good. Made us sweat, but the instructor I think was a little bit funny. Almost uncomfortable and lazy like. She also had a bit of a gut. Im wondering whether she just had a baby or something. I always look at instructors to see if the workouts are very beneficial! I dont think hers was working out so well. I dont think step is for me. Im sure I can give myself a better full work out on my own. Oh well. Still fun. I plan on trying out all the classes!
Did some extra ab workout and stretching after and hit the showers. Amanda and I are getting pretty close. We had a good talk on the way home, as we often do. Once home, I made some food and watched House. I think it was the very first time I turned on the tv alone. It was kind of nice. Miss Kim came home and joined me on the couch. I then went upstairs and talked to Justin on the phone. Shonleigh came home from work and we chatted it up for a bit too. Gossip about this and that. Boys and girls! Same ol' same ol'. 9 days george dead. Yes I realize you do not understand that last statment. That is for me to remember only! hahaha
Bed time! Yes I know this last day is written in the future for you in Canada. How crazy is that! My May 12th is just ending and yours is just begining!!! :) Cheers!

Urination Celebration!
Friday May 1st
Woke up and readied myself for lab at noon. Shon was still sleeping in my bed. She dragged herself to her room as mitch was gone. We were both soo tired.
In lab class, we had an unusual task. Unusual for usual people, as a nurse however, we are unusual with our duties, therefore having a usual task. Make sense? HAHA Our duty today was to distiguish between the different odors of urine and know what they mean. We also tested urine to see what pathological problems they held. We had 5 samples that were already provided for us, and then we had one person in our group who was to supply some. There was four of us and three of us had gone before coming to class. Amy was a trooper and pee'd in a cup for us! YAY!! She had very nice clear, pale yellow, FRESH smelling urine just so you all know! :) Some samples smelled like ammonia, some like metal, some fishy :S, some sweet, and some fresh. Thank you Amy! It turned out to be a good lab as the kidneys are one of my favorite parts of the body. Yes, this may be strange to you in you are not in a health care profession! Go team kidneys!
When I arrived home, Xanthy, Kirby, Shonleigh, and Mitch were at my house. They were going to the plaza to meet Xanthys mom, and I tagged along for the ride. I was in one of my hyper moods yet again. I was bouncing in my seat dancing and singing to the music as per usual! When we got to the plaza, we walked around and looked in shops waiting for Xanthy to be done. We lost Kirby at her sisters hair salon where she ws getting her hair done. We lost Xanthy to her mom who was taking her shopping. Shon, Mitch and I headed back home. It was nearing the end of the day, and Amanda called. We were to meet Mark as he had asked us if we wanted to be extras in this movie he was in. This is the movie that is about vampires. We were pretty excited about it.
When I got home, I made some grub and Adog came over. It was already well into the evening and neither of us felt like taking the bus for this movie thing. I dont think its a big movie and we were just going to be extras standing at a bar in the background. Meh. We watched movies at my house instead. Myspace and Jess were in her home town of Gympie. He was meeting her parents for the first time. Mitch was hanging out with us girls. Xanthy was also here. She made a good pillow. The night went on and we all went to bed. Mitch slept onthe mattress on the floor as Shon had gone to bed early and her door was locked.
Saturday May 2nd
Up for breakfast at Jess's house. Her and Myspace had made bacon and eggs. It was yummytastic. Things had gone well with the parents, and Chris had said he had them wrapped around his finger already haha. Cocky young boys these days! ( that last phrase made me feel old.. hmmm ) By time brekky was done, Shons parents were here. They took us out for lunch to Bud Tavern which is a pretty nice place during the day. They have a really good looking menu. I was full from the brekky that was still inhabiting my stomach, so Miss Kim and I each had a handsome slice of cheese cake! It was so delicious! I also got Shons family and herself and Miss Kim all hooked on Beer with Orange juice. We named it the Orange Bomber! It has a fusion taste! Yum. Kurtis, Shons friend, the one I had caught with his pants off in her room upon returning from the Whitsundays, also joined us. Nice guy every time I see him. He likes to tell me how beautiful I am. He's one of those super smooth guys. I get the feeling he flatters all the ladies with this kind of karisma! I certainly dont mind! :)Shon and her mom played the pokies afterwards, and her dad Miss Kim and I sipped tea in the lunge area. Kurtis had gone back to Brissy.
When we got home, all the boys were at our house. They were happy to meet Shons parents. They are really like people and just like Shonleigh. Full of this attitude, but in a good natured way. We had a hoot. When the Ryan parents left, the boys and I played some tennis for a while. Always a good time.
I later got ready for Zoe's birthday. Zoe is Mat Chakleys sister. It was her 21st birthday. She was having it at the cable wake boarding park. We grabbed some stuff and Adog and I got a ride with Yates, Pom, and Chakley to the Yates place. Laura wanted us to get ready together. Also, their mom was making spagetti for all of us starving uni students. I guess Mats grandma was telling him that those Canadian girls must be poor because they just kept eating at Dan's birthday!! WHAT??? OMG!! We hadnt had dinner that day! lol I didnt think I ate much at all that day! haha oops! Laura is moving to Scottland for 1-2 years. She is setting up a company there. Its too bad though because her and I get along very nicely. Same sizes for shoes and clothes! Woot Woot. I wore one of Lauras dresses and it was soo nice. Although, once at the party, Mats uncle would not stop staring down the top of my dress! GRR! Creep! lol
On our way to the party. It was an alright party. We didnt know many people and it was mostly Zoes friends. We mingled and drank a bit. After the party was coming to an end, we all headed to Chakleys place as his parents were going camping for the long weekend. He has a really nice place. His dad and him are both carpenters and his dad had built his house. Really impressive.
We played pool and took lots of pictures. Had a really good time. By the end of the night, Shon came over and most of us were asleep. She took me and Adog home. I did some silly texting on my way home and had a call from Canada- Justin. Made some noodles and in bed for me!
Sunday May 3rd
Very tired today as last night was a late night! Pom and Chakley and the boys were over early. They had me up and playing tennis with them even though I was soo tired. When we were done, yates went to his house to pick up One Tree Hill- the DVD 4th season or something. I have no idea as I am unfamiliar with this show. When he returned, He had brought with him girl Yates too. Laura, Mat, Yates and I watched One Tree Hill for awhile. It was getting pretty late and it was a Sunday, so they went to get some booze as it was a long weekend. ( labour day weekend here is in May.. weird! ) While they were gone, I had a nap. They had also went to get some stuff to get ready with.
I woke up and began getting ready for the night. Laura came over and she and I readied ourselves together. While we were doing this, I had a phone call from my friend George. This is the guy who I had met on top of the chapters building during the 2006 playoffs. We had lost contact and I randomly saw him talking on fb to one of my other friends. I sent him a message to see what he was up to and he had imformed me that he had just finished a year of teaching english in Poland and is now studying for his masters of business on the Gold Coast!! This was about a month or so ago. ( Im not sure, but I may have blogged that already.. hmm) Anyways, he had called me and said that he was in Noosa, but there wasnt any accomadations there and he wanted to know if I knew anyone who lived close or what not. There was a festival there ( that I was suppose to go to, but declined because it had cost $90 to get in!! ). The hotels and hostels were full up. I told him and his buddy from Canada to hop on a bus and come stay with me. On their way they came!
We all continued getting ready and Mitch brought over some Goon Punch. I thought it tasted funky but everyone loved it. They all tried to get miss Kim to come out with us, but I told her that if she didnt want to, she didnt have to. So she said no, and everyone left her alone. Our game plan was to go to O'Malleys which was a karoekee bar on sundays. I went up to miss Kim and had said we were going to a kareokee bar, and asked her one more time if she wanted to join us. Her eyes lit up bigger than I have ever seen before at the word kareokee. She was eager to come out with us. We helped her get ready and she had a drink with us.
Goerge and Sam arrived and with them a 2-6 of Vodka! They said it was a gift for putting them up for a night. ( Unecessary, but appriciated). George made me do a shot with him. It has been a very long time since we had last met! Miss Kim had a couple shots herself. She didnt even need convincing. She was in full out party mode! IT was great. We were all dancing around my place too.
Time to go. Yates drove us all there in a couple of car loads. Miss Kim, George, Sam, Mitch and I in one load. We walked past O'Malleys. The line up was rediculous! It was going out the mall! We didnt even try to enter, and went straight to 240V. I felt bad for Miss Kim as she was soo looking forward to it, but I know she had a good time. This I know, because she was taking tequila shots and drinking more at the bar. I dont think she has ever had this much to drink before and so I decided to keep an eye out for her. We were all dancing and having a fabulous time. It was a pretty loose night. By the end of it, Miss Kim had had enough. She was ready to pass out. I called Shonleigh who called Brock who came and picked Miss Kim and I up. He took us home while the others stayed. They came home soon after us.
Miss Kim went straight to bed. Poor girl. She was having a great time dancing though. When everyone else got home, they all went to bed. Mat hadnt even made it out to the bar with us as he had passed out in my bed before we even left. He was now awake and ready to go again.
Mitch was around and I guess him and I were doing this "Kangaroo Dance" that we had made. Its a silly little dance that consists of you dancing with your feet shoulder length apart, head looking down at them, with your arms spread wide- then you say " HOP HOP" and do two quick hops to the right. Its more like a shuffle. hahaha I had forgotten all about this kangaroo dance until the next morning when Mat told me! hahhah Probably my favorite part of the night. We had done it for like 15 minutes! It all started from when we picked him up and I thought he said he was a kangaroo! hahaha
I went to bed in Shons bed wearing Chris' Oilers jersey. Sam and George slept in my bed.
Monday May 4th
No classes today. Mat, Laura, Amanda, George, Sam and I drove up to Double Island for the day. It was half sunny half rainy of a day. We took the barge across and then began driving on the beach. Always soo nice to comeup here! George and Sam were soo impressed how well we had been set up on the Sunny Coast. He says its jsut as fun down on the Gold coast too, as he is close to surfers paradise and Byron Bay. Mat let me drive at one point. I was soo excited to drive a stick on the beach! YES! 4 by 4ing always soo good! I stalled 3 times and was about to quit. Then mat put it in a low gear and I was up and running. The spot I was trying to start in was not flat and it is sand I was driving on, give me some slack! When I came to a flat spot, he switched it back. We were having such a good time and George even got a video of me driving! I cannot wait to see it! You guys will like it too because then you will know what it is like to drive on the beach at Double Island! Woot Woot!
After a bit, I let Adog in the drivers seat. She had never driven stick before and Mat said he would teach her. She stalled a couple of time and Mat put it in the lower gear again. She was doing well, but when Mat went to switch it back, she had trouble starting again. It started smoking pretty bad and stunk big time! Ewww! haha So she came and joined me in the back. That was enough for her. Mat took over again. It was raining pretty hard at this one point, ( the rain will be spitting lightly or not at all and then it will be the thickest shower of just heavy rain fall for about two minutes and then nothing again, its the most bizarre thing ever!!) We came to a part that was red earth on one side and beach below us and blue ocean to the other side. Since it was raining soo hard, the red was streaming down and meeting with the blue of the water. It was soo beautiful. I took some pictures with Georges camera. He will be posting soon.
Just then, Mat was driving just as normal, but when he went to drive over this red part, it was like dough! We thought we were going to be stuck in this red slop, but thank god we were able to back out and turn around. We were not able to make it to the point. Probably a good idea. We were headed back when the rain let up. We got out and climbed up a red cliff area. The veiw is just amazing, even on a rainy day. We went for a swim and tried taking some jumping pictures. We also saw a dead puffer fish. Yum...
We headed back and came to Noosa. Went to a view point and then dropped George and Sam off at a hostel. They were thankful for the adventure and place to stay, and I was happy to have them. We promised to go and see George sometime down on the Gold Coast. On our way home we went. S dog and I slept a bit.
When I got home, I discovered that Miss Kim had been sick all night. This I had not known until I talked to her. I felt pretty bad I wasnt there for her. I didnt even hear anyone get up during the night. I was sound asleep. She said she was ok though and that she did have alot of fun. I told her maybe next time not so many shots. To my surprise, she did say she liked the tequila! :) Me too!
Miss Kim made us Bulgogi and Korean sushi with some kim chi. It was sooo delicious! So much better then the bulgogi I have had back in Edmonton. The sushi was different too. It was made with a sweet bean curd wrapping instead of the usual seaweed. Yum Yum Jess, Adog, Branda and I watched Master chef. I had a bath and went to bed.
Tuesday May 5th
I had a wake up call from my man back home. I met up with my group a tad late. It didnt matter though as they spent the entire two hours working on there other group project. Then the one girl had the nerve to tell me not to be late even though she is late for every class and meeting. Its not like my lateness mattered as they were not able to work on our assignment as it was. I was a bit P.O'd!! Im not a fan of my one group member! She is the one who did not want to talk about homosexuality! Moron! I did find out from them that I had missed my tutorial. I was told my an instructor that there was no tutorials this week. As an international student, I am not allowed to miss any tutorials! :(
I talked to Justin on my way home as well. I did some assignments when I got home. After working for most of the day, Mark invited Amanda, Rachel and I over for dinner and a movie. We said sure. We could not get a hold of Rachel and did not know where she was, she was brought Miss Kim instead. Mark picked us up and we made some pizza. It was really good. They often put pumpkin on their pizzas here and I really like it. We watched Transporters and then another movie that we didnt finish, but it ws the day in the life of an outhouse maintenance guy. It was basically crude poo jokes the entire thing. Kind of funny, but not for a whole movies worth. haha Then we watched a Kiwi movie called Stickmen. I really enjoyed this movie but need to watch the end again as Justin had called. It was early in the morning for him and he called me on his way to work.
Mark drove us home and I ran into Shon's room. I jumped on her and we layed like that for a while. Miss Kim came up a little later and I yelled out " dog pile Miss Kim! " and she jumped on us as well! ahah The three of us had a good time and we started talking about farting moments. Shon had some good stories to tell and we laughed for a very long time! :) I eventually went to bed.
Wenesday May 6th
Wake up call. Its a usual thing if you cannot tell. I went to my morning lecture with Amanda and Rachel. Got home and did soem assignments. Pom and Cammy B convinced me to take a break for a quick game of tennis. back to my assignments. I went to class again and was a little late. I sat with Amy and my lab girls, who sat just behind Amanda and Rachel and Adog.
Adog had booked her ticket back to Canada for July break. I found out when my exams were and I too began planning my uni break activities. Lots too see. Branda cooked the rest of the bulgogi, and I was happy to eat it! Really such a treat. Mat and Yates were over. They were talking with me about something that I wont post here! haha We watched Master Chef and I talked to Justin again and off to bed.
Woke up and readied myself for lab at noon. Shon was still sleeping in my bed. She dragged herself to her room as mitch was gone. We were both soo tired.

It was getting pretty late and it was a Sunday, so they went to get some booze as it was a long weekend. ( labour day weekend here is in May.. weird! ) While they were gone, I had a nap. They had also went to get some stuff to get ready with.
I woke up and began getting ready for the night. Laura came over and she and I readied ourselves together. While we were doing this, I had a phone call from my friend George. This is the guy who I had met on top of the chapters building during the 2006 playoffs. We had lost contact and I randomly saw him talking on fb to one of my other friends. I sent him a message to see what he was up to and he had imformed me that he had just finished a year of teaching english in Poland and is now studying for his masters of business on the Gold Coast!! This was about a month or so ago. ( Im not sure, but I may have blogged that already.. hmm) Anyways, he had called me and said that he was in Noosa, but there wasnt any accomadations there and he wanted to know if I knew anyone who lived close or what not. There was a festival there ( that I was suppose to go to, but declined because it had cost $90 to get in!! ). The hotels and hostels were full up. I told him and his buddy from Canada to hop on a bus and come stay with me. On their way they came!
We all continued getting ready and Mitch brought over some Goon Punch. I thought it tasted funky but everyone loved it. They all tried to get miss Kim to come out with us, but I told her that if she didnt want to, she didnt have to. So she said no, and everyone left her alone. Our game plan was to go to O'Malleys which was a karoekee bar on sundays. I went up to miss Kim and had said we were going to a kareokee bar, and asked her one more time if she wanted to join us. Her eyes lit up bigger than I have ever seen before at the word kareokee. She was eager to come out with us. We helped her get ready and she had a drink with us.
Goerge and Sam arrived and with them a 2-6 of Vodka! They said it was a gift for putting them up for a night. ( Unecessary, but appriciated). George made me do a shot with him. It has been a very long time since we had last met! Miss Kim had a couple shots herself. She didnt even need convincing. She was in full out party mode! IT was great. We were all dancing around my place too.
Time to go. Yates drove us all there in a couple of car loads. Miss Kim, George, Sam, Mitch and I in one load. We walked past O'Malleys. The line up was rediculous! It was going out the mall! We didnt even try to enter, and went straight to 240V. I felt bad for Miss Kim as she was soo looking forward to it, but I know she had a good time. This I know, because she was taking tequila shots and drinking more at the bar. I dont think she has ever had this much to drink before and so I decided to keep an eye out for her. We were all dancing and having a fabulous time. It was a pretty loose night. By the end of it, Miss Kim had had enough. She was ready to pass out. I called Shonleigh who called Brock who came and picked Miss Kim and I up. He took us home while the others stayed. They came home soon after us.
Miss Kim went straight to bed. Poor girl. She was having a great time dancing though. When everyone else got home, they all went to bed. Mat hadnt even made it out to the bar with us as he had passed out in my bed before we even left. He was now awake and ready to go again.
Mitch was around and I guess him and I were doing this "Kangaroo Dance" that we had made. Its a silly little dance that consists of you dancing with your feet shoulder length apart, head looking down at them, with your arms spread wide- then you say " HOP HOP" and do two quick hops to the right. Its more like a shuffle. hahaha I had forgotten all about this kangaroo dance until the next morning when Mat told me! hahhah Probably my favorite part of the night. We had done it for like 15 minutes! It all started from when we picked him up and I thought he said he was a kangaroo! hahaha
I went to bed in Shons bed wearing Chris' Oilers jersey. Sam and George slept in my bed.
Monday May 4th
No classes today. Mat, Laura, Amanda, George, Sam and I drove up to Double Island for the day. It was half sunny half rainy of a day. We took the barge across and then began driving on the beach. Always soo nice to comeup here! George and Sam were soo impressed how well we had been set up on the Sunny Coast. He says its jsut as fun down on the Gold coast too, as he is close to surfers paradise and Byron Bay. Mat let me drive at one point. I was soo excited to drive a stick on the beach! YES! 4 by 4ing always soo good! I stalled 3 times and was about to quit. Then mat put it in a low gear and I was up and running. The spot I was trying to start in was not flat and it is sand I was driving on, give me some slack! When I came to a flat spot, he switched it back. We were having such a good time and George even got a video of me driving! I cannot wait to see it! You guys will like it too because then you will know what it is like to drive on the beach at Double Island! Woot Woot!
After a bit, I let Adog in the drivers seat. She had never driven stick before and Mat said he would teach her. She stalled a couple of time and Mat put it in the lower gear again. She was doing well, but when Mat went to switch it back, she had trouble starting again. It started smoking pretty bad and stunk big time! Ewww! haha So she came and joined me in the back. That was enough for her. Mat took over again. It was raining pretty hard at this one point, ( the rain will be spitting lightly or not at all and then it will be the thickest shower of just heavy rain fall for about two minutes and then nothing again, its the most bizarre thing ever!!) We came to a part that was red earth on one side and beach below us and blue ocean to the other side. Since it was raining soo hard, the red was streaming down and meeting with the blue of the water. It was soo beautiful. I took some pictures with Georges camera. He will be posting soon.
Just then, Mat was driving just as normal, but when he went to drive over this red part, it was like dough! We thought we were going to be stuck in this red slop, but thank god we were able to back out and turn around. We were not able to make it to the point. Probably a good idea. We were headed back when the rain let up. We got out and climbed up a red cliff area. The veiw is just amazing, even on a rainy day. We went for a swim and tried taking some jumping pictures. We also saw a dead puffer fish. Yum...
We headed back and came to Noosa. Went to a view point and then dropped George and Sam off at a hostel. They were thankful for the adventure and place to stay, and I was happy to have them. We promised to go and see George sometime down on the Gold Coast. On our way home we went. S dog and I slept a bit.
When I got home, I discovered that Miss Kim had been sick all night. This I had not known until I talked to her. I felt pretty bad I wasnt there for her. I didnt even hear anyone get up during the night. I was sound asleep. She said she was ok though and that she did have alot of fun. I told her maybe next time not so many shots. To my surprise, she did say she liked the tequila! :) Me too!
Miss Kim made us Bulgogi and Korean sushi with some kim chi. It was sooo delicious! So much better then the bulgogi I have had back in Edmonton. The sushi was different too. It was made with a sweet bean curd wrapping instead of the usual seaweed. Yum Yum Jess, Adog, Branda and I watched Master chef. I had a bath and went to bed.
Tuesday May 5th
I had a wake up call from my man back home. I met up with my group a tad late. It didnt matter though as they spent the entire two hours working on there other group project. Then the one girl had the nerve to tell me not to be late even though she is late for every class and meeting. Its not like my lateness mattered as they were not able to work on our assignment as it was. I was a bit P.O'd!! Im not a fan of my one group member! She is the one who did not want to talk about homosexuality! Moron! I did find out from them that I had missed my tutorial. I was told my an instructor that there was no tutorials this week. As an international student, I am not allowed to miss any tutorials! :(
I talked to Justin on my way home as well. I did some assignments when I got home. After working for most of the day, Mark invited Amanda, Rachel and I over for dinner and a movie. We said sure. We could not get a hold of Rachel and did not know where she was, she was brought Miss Kim instead. Mark picked us up and we made some pizza. It was really good. They often put pumpkin on their pizzas here and I really like it. We watched Transporters and then another movie that we didnt finish, but it ws the day in the life of an outhouse maintenance guy. It was basically crude poo jokes the entire thing. Kind of funny, but not for a whole movies worth. haha Then we watched a Kiwi movie called Stickmen. I really enjoyed this movie but need to watch the end again as Justin had called. It was early in the morning for him and he called me on his way to work.
Mark drove us home and I ran into Shon's room. I jumped on her and we layed like that for a while. Miss Kim came up a little later and I yelled out " dog pile Miss Kim! " and she jumped on us as well! ahah The three of us had a good time and we started talking about farting moments. Shon had some good stories to tell and we laughed for a very long time! :) I eventually went to bed.
Wenesday May 6th
Wake up call. Its a usual thing if you cannot tell. I went to my morning lecture with Amanda and Rachel. Got home and did soem assignments. Pom and Cammy B convinced me to take a break for a quick game of tennis. back to my assignments. I went to class again and was a little late. I sat with Amy and my lab girls, who sat just behind Amanda and Rachel and Adog.
Adog had booked her ticket back to Canada for July break. I found out when my exams were and I too began planning my uni break activities. Lots too see. Branda cooked the rest of the bulgogi, and I was happy to eat it! Really such a treat. Mat and Yates were over. They were talking with me about something that I wont post here! haha We watched Master Chef and I talked to Justin again and off to bed.

The End of April Finally!
Sunday April 26th
We were offered breakfast at Dan's house, but we declined. We were soo tired as we only had a couple hours sleep and were drained. I was home by 9am and in bed for a nap.
When I got up, I did some school work. Shonleigh came home and had a horrible tooth ache that was bringing her into tears. I nursed her a bit. There was nothing I could really do. She was busy calling dentists all over the place. She lent me her car and I went to go hand out resumes.
While I was out doing so, I did a little grocery shopping. How nice to have a car to do it! It being Sunday and Australia, almost nothing was open. It doesnt matter much though as almost no places are hiring. Its a very quiet time for job hunters! :(
I went home and Shon and I watched a movie. I talked to Justin on the phone and went to bed.
Monday April 27th
Wake up call.
Jumped on the computer. I had a date with my sister. It was Rylieghs birthday party and I wanted to catch them on skype. I had missed mom and Mandy, Gilles, and Kelsey. They had left early on. ( as I expected). By time I logged on, Ethan and Rye were sooo hyped up on sugar. They were runningback and forth like crazy! At one point all I saw of Rye was her feet up in the air kicking as much and as fast as she could! Just her feet! She loves that big fish pillow! I bet she cant wait to see grammas Koi pond!
I watched the kids play on the little piano and drum set that Rye got for her birthday while I talked and caught up with Melissa and Adam. Always nice to hear what is going on with my life back home! :)
After getting ready for my day, I talked to Justin on the phone. Then I had a phone call from Stacey. She has a boyfriend named Jared and they are doing very well. I cannot wait to meet him. I was catching up with everyone today! :)
Later on I walked to school and had class. Good as always. By the time I left Uni at 645 pm, the stars were out and bright! It gets dark here so early ALL year long! Crazy! Thats what I miss about Canadian summers! Long days!
I had a shower and read my text book in bed. I was sooo tired I passed out with it on my lap. I woke up with a dream vivid in my mind. Justin is working for shell right now and they are having a shut down. In my dream, the bad guys were the ones "shutting down" the plant. I was the daughter of one of the good guys, but dating the head leader of the bad guys. Justin! haha It was a funny dream.
Tuesday April 28th
Went to my class. I really do not like this subject. Health Culture and Society. Its a first year class. Blah! It would be ok, but I have a group assignment to do and I really dont like one girl in my group. We were discussing the content of our presentation. We were given a case study to talk about and one of the main points was homosexuality. This is one of the main topics we need to cover. As nurses, we will definitly need to learn about this. One group member said that she did not want to talk about it at all because she was not comfortable talking about it. I said that I would talk about it and that would be fine. She then said she did not want it mentioned at all as then she would have to write about it in her paper that we need to write about our presentation. I thought about it and then replied by saying that I felt it was one of the most important things to cover in our assignment and that I would not be ok with excluding it. Our ideas clash. We are painfully working through it. :
Had an inspection today. We have them always coming in and showing our place for ppl to buy, or cleaning, or fixing things, or other this and that sort of business. Probably once a week someone is in here and it is starting to drive us crazy! We dont know who these people are!!! ugh! Well we had our inspection to see if we are treating the place ok. By the end of it, they said Shonleigh needs to clean her room but the others were ok. Everything else checked out as fine. Poor Shon has such a bad tooth ache, I dont blame her for her messy room. Brenda on the other hand thought it was soo funny that she was told to clean her room hahaha.
I spent most of the day blogging, but as you can tell, I am still behind. I am learning alot about time managment as I am always busy doing soemthing.
I had a really good talk with Shonleigh. Her and I are getting pretty close. It is weird to think that I wont see her all the time in two years!
Later on in the day, I was busy on face book talking to Gilles and Kelsey, when Brenda walked in. Her and I started talking and the next thing I know, I am in this full out s*x conversation with this kroean girl! She was so interested to learn what our habbits were in Australia and Canada. She seemed to like how open we are about things. She said she hopes one day Korea will be as free as Canada. Miss Kim is starting to be more comfortable around us. She is fitting in soo much better than Mat! :) Arby is very happy!
This was another late night spent blogging and uploading photos on fb!! hahah
Wednesday April 29th
Had class. It was lecture day. At the end of lecture, my friend Amy motioned me towards her. When I met up with her, she asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner with her and her friends and her dad. He was up from Melbourne and wanted to meet her friends and he was shouting for it. I did not understand this term "shouting". I looked puzzled and she said it meant he was paying! OOOOhhhh! haha I said I would come along as I was happy I had made friends on my own and always happy to see them outside of school.
I went home and did some readings. Played some tennis with the boys, and then went to Uni. Last lecture of today. It was a different teacher. It was a german man talking about microbiology. He seemed pretty funny and held my attention well which is almost impossible on wednesday afternoons!!
When I got home, I chilled and talked to Adog for awhile. We took a walk over to uni-central which is another student accommadation. Amanda Long lives here. She is the fourth Canadian doing nursing. We visited her a little while. Talking about our plans for the July holiday. She too had a long distance boyfriend back home in Edmonton. After a bit, Adog and I walked back.
The units at uni-central are nice, but I like the Village better. Their units have an ensuite bathroom in each room, but no bath tub. The rooms have more storage for clothes and there are four rooms per suite, but its all on one floor. Our units only have one ensuite bathroom and that is Shonleighs, but Brenda and I have a bathtub in our bathroom. I also like how there is only 3 of us and our bedrooms are upstairs away from our living room and kitchen. Their units are more expensive and crammed all together. I am very happy here and hope to live here for the entire two years!
I did some assignments and then walked over to Jess's while waiting for Amy to pick me up. Always good to catch up with the gossip girls. Amy phoned and I went outside to meet her.
her dad hopped out of the car to let me in and he gave me a kiss on my cheek. This is normal, but it always seems to creep me out as I dont feel natural doing it. I will have to practice! haha We decided on Chancellor park tavern to dine. It looked like a pretty nice place. I had not been in it before. We all ordered some grub and her dad bought some wine. I picked what kind and everyone liked it. I was the main talker as everyone was interested in the foriegn girl!
Her dad is a prison gaurd down in Melbourne. He was very nice and had some stories. At one point he asked me if my mom was single... I said no she is happily married. Then he said that he better get my e-mail details so he could keep in contact with her. This is when Amy nudged him hard in the side. I didnt really answer and was happy that someone else had re-directed the conversation. Lisa and Kirsten were also with us. They are the other girls I have lab with along with Amy.
The food came and we ate. It was really good. Afterwards, Amy wanted to try out the "pokies" or the slot machines as we know them. We all kind of watched her and told her what to do. I didnt want to spend- waste my money. After dinner they dropped me off. I went up to my room and did some readings and went to bed.
Thursday April 30th
I was to meet with my group today. I really did not want to meet with the one girl. I told them I could not make it as I had to go with my room mate as she needed a root canal. This was not a lie. I did go with Shon to the dentist. However, her dad was there with her and while I waited, I went to get a hair cut. By time I found a place that accepted walk-ins, andthe girl bgancutting my hair, Shon was done. I told her to just go home and I wouldnt be much longer.
Lucky me had a free eyelash tint. On certain days, this place does free waxing or lash tinting with a hair cut. I certainly didnt need a waxing done. The tinting is interesting. They remove your makeup and apply vaseline to your surrounding eye. they put wax tissure paper under your bottom lashes. You close your eyes and they apply the die. It takes about 10min to react and she washes it off. Nothing to it.
I looked around the mall not buying anything, but teasing myself with the shopping anyways. I caught the bus home. I found shon and her tooth looked much better. She had some pain killers, but said the pain was substantially better since the hole was filled. The hole had been in her back molar and was the size of the top of my pinky finger!!! Pretty big! I dont know how it developed and worsened without notice! We talked for a bit and I retired to my room for my daily computer routine. This consists of FB, Gmail, Blog, and school- of course not in that order.....
After a while, the boys came over and we played tennis. When we were done with this, we went over to Cammy B's house. Here we watched a funny movie. After the movie, Shon came over feeling much better.
We played scattagories. It was alot of fun too. If you dont know how to play, I am not going to bore the others with the rules. You should go look them up now! What happened was, we had the letter "N". We all wrote our answers down and when it was time we passed them to the left for marking. Pom had left the room to use the potty. When we were reading the answers for Farm Animals, Adog read out Poms answer- "Nigga". We all burst out laughing! After some time, must have been a #2, Pom returned. Brock asked him what a "nigga" had to do with a farm. I blurt out, " what does a 'nigga' have to do with an ANIMAL???" and we all burst out laughing again! Pom then went on to tell us that Adog read it wrong and that it was suppose to be the previous statment, which was street name. We all laughed as there is no such "nigga street"!! He then informed us that he percieved the question to be asking what people call each other on the street. This is where is answer fits! It was alll toooooo funny! HA HA!
We watched some old videos and then it was time for Shon and I to leave. We met up with Jess and went to the airport to pick up My Space and his friend Mitchell.
While waiting for them to walk up, we were playing cards. Jess had taught me a new card game. We sat directly in the middle of the walk way where people were waiting for loved ones. :) This is where we met this strage woman. She was just strange in a awkward way. I talked with her for a bit and found out that her son did a student exchange and was placed in Baulf!! Or is it Bawlf? I really dont know as I was a baby when I lived around there. Crazy!
On the way home we briefly stopped to re-fuel our tummies! Then we continued on. Luck was not on our side as it ended up taking us 3 hours to drive home! There was heaps of road construction. At some points, we were stopped for about 10 minutes! Jess would go in and out of fits fighting with Chris. She is a 19 yr old scorpio. I remember those days all too well. When he would just look at you the wrong way and it would make your hormones go sky high and the reaction - KABOOOOM!! As this was happening, the three of us in the back had a good time. I asked Mitchell what he did up in Townsville. he replied with " ah you know, just keepin' it real", but what I heard was, " ah you know, Im a kangaroo!!" I got soo excited and said, " that is sooo friggin cool!!" He looked at me and kne I had obviously not heard him correctly. He repeated what he said and we all laughed when I told him what I thought it was.
Eventually we did get home. Chris and Jess in one piece too! Mitchell slept in Shon's bed and her with me! Ugh sooo tired! zzzzZZZ!!
We were offered breakfast at Dan's house, but we declined. We were soo tired as we only had a couple hours sleep and were drained. I was home by 9am and in bed for a nap.
When I got up, I did some school work. Shonleigh came home and had a horrible tooth ache that was bringing her into tears. I nursed her a bit. There was nothing I could really do. She was busy calling dentists all over the place. She lent me her car and I went to go hand out resumes.

I went home and Shon and I watched a movie. I talked to Justin on the phone and went to bed.

I dont know how it developed and worsened without notice! We talked for a bit and I retired to my room for my daily computer routine. This consists of FB, Gmail, Blog, and school- of course not in that order.....
After a while, the boys came over and we played tennis. When we were done with this, we went over to Cammy B's house. Here we watched a funny movie. After the movie, Shon came over feeling much better.
We played scattagories. It was alot of fun too. If you dont know how to play, I am not going to bore the others with the rules. You should go look them up now! What happened was, we had the letter "N". We all wrote our answers down and when it was time we passed them to the left for marking. Pom had left the room to use the potty. When we were reading the answers for Farm Animals, Adog read out Poms answer- "Nigga". We all burst out laughing! After some time, must have been a #2, Pom returned. Brock asked him what a "nigga" had to do with a farm. I blurt out, " what does a 'nigga' have to do with an ANIMAL???" and we all burst out laughing again! Pom then went on to tell us that Adog read it wrong and that it was suppose to be the previous statment, which was street name. We all laughed as there is no such "nigga street"!! He then informed us that he percieved the question to be asking what people call each other on the street. This is where is answer fits! It was alll toooooo funny! HA HA!
We watched some old videos and then it was time for Shon and I to leave. We met up with Jess and went to the airport to pick up My Space and his friend Mitchell.
While waiting for them to walk up, we were playing cards. Jess had taught me a new card game. We sat directly in the middle of the walk way where people were waiting for loved ones. :) This is where we met this strage woman. She was just strange in a awkward way. I talked with her for a bit and found out that her son did a student exchange and was placed in Baulf!! Or is it Bawlf? I really dont know as I was a baby when I lived around there. Crazy!
On the way home we briefly stopped to re-fuel our tummies! Then we continued on. Luck was not on our side as it ended up taking us 3 hours to drive home! There was heaps of road construction. At some points, we were stopped for about 10 minutes! Jess would go in and out of fits fighting with Chris. She is a 19 yr old scorpio. I remember those days all too well. When he would just look at you the wrong way and it would make your hormones go sky high and the reaction - KABOOOOM!! As this was happening, the three of us in the back had a good time. I asked Mitchell what he did up in Townsville. he replied with " ah you know, just keepin' it real", but what I heard was, " ah you know, Im a kangaroo!!" I got soo excited and said, " that is sooo friggin cool!!" He looked at me and kne I had obviously not heard him correctly. He repeated what he said and we all laughed when I told him what I thought it was.
Eventually we did get home. Chris and Jess in one piece too! Mitchell slept in Shon's bed and her with me! Ugh sooo tired! zzzzZZZ!!

Boating and Birthday Fun
Saturday April 25th
The phone rang! I was up in a hurry and dazed when I heard Rachel on the phone. " are you all ready to go?" - " ugh... No .. Oh my alarm didnt go off... yuggghh, I will be out in 15 minutes! " I quickly grabbed a banana on my way out! Im glad I had a shower the night before as I didnt even look at what my hair looked like. Probably no different then the scare crow in the wizard of OZ.
We took the bus to Maroochy river. We were suppose to meet up with Mark at his house, but Amanda thought we were to meet him at the river. We waited for about 30 min, the time it took us to walk fromt he bus stop to the meeting point. Mark put the boat in the water with no problems at all. The four of us went for a ride down teh river and then back to pick up some other crew members.
When all was said and done, there were five girls and one Mark. He had tried to get some men on the boat, but they all were hung over and not interested. They would soon regret this as Mark was sending picture text messages to all his mates of us girls in our bikini's! ( pictures are on FB already!) Mark was having a great time with all us gals!
Wake boarding! Im no expert, but I was one of the better ones. Only Amanda and I had ever tried it and only a couple of times at that! Amanda went first. She is really good! She says she has always done sports in school. I can tell! She is AWESOME!! She motivates me to do better! Gives me courage! I let a couple of other people go before I gave her a go. They were all doing well. Everyone was able to get up except for Rachel.
While on the boat, Mark taught Adog how to drive so that he could have a go. He is very good and he tries to do flips too. When everyone was in the boat and we were about to head back to the other side, Amanda went to sit down and she jumped right back up and started to scream! We were all soo confused when she said " SOMETHING BIT MY BUM!!" over and over again! Then she rushed over to me where I was soaking up the sun. I wasnt sure if she wanted me to look at it or what, then she shoved me aside and jumped into the lake! We all peered over to see what was going on. She russled in the water and then held something small up out of the water. Something had bitten her and she was able to pull the stinger out of her butt. When she climbed back into the boat, her bottom was swollen and red. We took some pictures of her bitten bum and off we went.
My turn. I was up on my second try. Hell of a lot easier then at Boromba Damn when we were behind the jet ski. Not to mention, this time Nicko wasnt driving and I had Amanda driving me! She took over from Mark as soon as he taught her how. Thank you Captain Adog! She was a great captain! I was up for the longest and I was trying to get a good feel of it. Guys make it look so easy, and if you have never tried it before, you think there is nothing to it. That is until you give it a go yourself! Getting up is tough. I can do this no problem now. When you are up, its a whole different feeling. You go pretty fast and your legs are not as strong as when you are on stable ground. If you mess up and fall, you can give yourself a natural enema! Yes I have had one! only one and it was just very small! Unpleasant! No body talks about it ever! It happens. I know its not just me.
Adog told me so! lol I want to try to passing over the wake. For those of you who dont know what the wake is, its the big wave the motor of the boat creates in the water. It is soo scary. Its not soo different from snowbaording. I have been improving in the snow, so my performance here was also getting better. It was my second turn when I really went for the wake. Everybody had gone twice at this point and we were about to call it a day. I had to do this! I didnt want the fear to get the better of me. I pulled away from the wake so I could build up speed. Here it goooooooeeesss!!! Whhooosh! Over the wake....... and in the water crash! BANG! UGH! ugh! Ok, Im done for today! ugh!
On the boat. Oh Mark wants one final picture of him and all the girls. Ok. I stagger over there and flop myself on the side of the boat. I try to pose, but I am exhausted! later on I see the picture and I look like a drowned cat! All the other girls are ready for their fashion magazines... and there I am- fresh out of a hurricane! haha Im sure his buddies will like that one!
Load up the boat and help Mark unload stuff at his house. He drives us home. He is going to rehersal. He is a hired goon in this vampire movie. I dont know the details.
I got ready as it was Dans birthday. This is Mat Chakleys cousin. The one who accompanied me when I slept on the beach at Double Island. First we went to The Yates place. It was Pom, Yates, Laura Yates, Chakley, Amanda, and I. Laura is the hot oldre sister of the group who all the guys froth. She is definitly froth worthy! Blonde and cute as heck! We met the Yates parents and had a beer. Then we headed to the party. Yates was the DD.
We got to Dans house. He still is living with his parents. He is 21 as of now. I guess here in Australia, your 21st birthday is a biggy! There was tonnes of family and friends here. We walked around meeting family members and picking at the finger foods. I even got to meet Mats little brother Jake who is 6. Oh wow is a a cute little guy! He is a mini Mat! You just want to pick him up and eat him hes soo cute! A squeeze-those-cheeks-cute!
Then the belly dancers came out. There was three of them. They all made Dan dance up on the deck with them. Two older ladies with larger mid sections, and then a very young girl with no mid section at all! Skinny as a noodle! I thought it was a pre- requisite. Large belly= belly dancer! Not at all! Everyone was watching them dance with Dan for while. Adog and I were waiting for everyone to join- but nope! None at all. So her and I went up and grabbed Brock and Chakley and made them dance with us! Then we had the kids join in, and slowly others started to dance as well! yay Canada for getting this party started! It was just as fun as a wedding. The Dancers even taught us a few moves! ( Shift that hip like you are closing a car door, go on and try it! )
This is the night I named Pom Pop Tart! He is constantly asking me to say certain words. Anything that ends in "art" or "ance". There are many. He especially like tuna and tube and fart! haha He says "chewna" and " chube" and " faut". His english accent is pretty cute!
Everyone had decided that we would just crash at Dans place. It was about 4 am. Adog and I did not have much to drink at all. maybe 3 beers the entire night starting at about 7pm. Everyone else was pretty drunk. Mat, Laura, Adog and I were sleeping in Dans bed. I was told by Dan that this was ok. His friend Anabelle was very drunk and kept marching in and telling us to leave. I believe she was trying to get Dan in there alone. Adog and I left the room. We went and hate a piece of cake-> sooooo good! Maybe we had three.... teehee! Then Dan and Anabelle were down stairs with the other loud and annoying girls. We had made a bed up on the couch, but it was clear that we were not going to get any sleep. We wanted to drive home since we were not drunk at all, but we were uncomfortable to drive a stick on the oppisite side of the road. Besides, everyone was sleeping who needed to come with us. We went back upstairs and joined Mat and Laura in bed. We slept there for the remaining of the night. Chakley felt like a man that night between two blondes and a brunette! haaha All the guys praised him the next day!
The phone rang! I was up in a hurry and dazed when I heard Rachel on the phone. " are you all ready to go?" - " ugh... No .. Oh my alarm didnt go off... yuggghh, I will be out in 15 minutes!

Anaphalaxis- Gaping Wound- Sh*t Show of a Day!
Friday April 24th
I had my usual wake up call from my international man. I hurried myself off to Uni to hand in my assignment. I also had to hand in a document to my leading lady up on the fifth floor in the international department- Deb!
I got home and was on the computer, blogging most likely. Its been my goal this week to catch up! I went downstairs to fix a bite to eat. When I came back up, I checked my phone as per usual as Justin and I are texting all day! Yay a text from him! I open it and immediatly am in disbelief and panic! " I ate something with nuts" is what I saw written! Justin is allergic to nuts. ( Not peanuts or almonds, but very much so to every other nut including sesame seeds!!). He had sent the text 10 minutes ago. I quickly sent a text back wondering if everything was ok. 20 minutes gone by- nothing! I didnt want to react and get all upset if he was just pulling my leg or soemthing. Who knows what he was doing. Maybe he took some benadryl and fell asleep. Maybe it wasnt bad. In Vancouver he ate some peanuts and almonds and had a reaction because we think they may have been mixed with something else. I made him take benadryl and it helped the reaction, but it gave him a back stomach ache. Hopefully he was just sleeping it off. It was pretty late there. I sent another text telling him that he better be ok and that he better get an epi pen like the many times I had told him to!
I distracted myself with a movie, that I paid no attention to. I couldnt really think about much else. Time was going by and I heard nothing at all! I was really starting to worry. I was home alone and coldnt even talk to anyone! then- riiing! riiing!! I answer quickly. " I Kristin, this is Wendy", Justins mom. OMG!! Why is she calling me!!! She then asked if I knew what had happened. I explained to her the text I recieved and that was all. She then said that he was admitted to the hospital and was breathing on his own now. She said they had given him adrenaline and that he couldnt talk yet but that he wanted her to call me right away to tell me that he was ok. What I heard was- hospital, breathing on own NOW, adrenaline, cannot talk!! She asked me if I was ok and I was speechless. Only able to give answers like " uh well... uh ya, uh..." She let me go and I cried on the stair case- where I was standing when she called- like a little baby! ugh!
Ten minutes later still feeling like a baby, I recieved a text from Justin himself! " That was an adventure! I hope my hair is still good! haha." I was soo not impressed! Then another, "Just at the hospital. You should have told me this was gonna happen. Youre in the future!! " : And another, " You better get here before I die!" He sent me many funny texts, even joking about our unborn son that doesnt exist and how he wants me to make sure he drives a Chev!!! I explained to him that I was upset with him but glad he was ok and that if this ever happened again, I dont want to know until he is better or dead! He was at Stony Plain Hospital. He sent a text that said, " I was at home dying! Funny story! I will tell you when I get home! I thought I was dead! hah Stupid eh? We know I cant die! haha".
After him texting me for a bit, Yates showed up. I told him the story and he was sorry to hear it. However, when I started repeating the post reaction texts, Yates was laughing pretty hard and reguarding Justin even higher in his books! Yates asked me if I wanted to go to the beach- Hell Yes! Off we went. On the way, we stopped at Subway for I handed in a resume. I was going to do more, but I didnt want poor Yates to wait for me. This whole time I am still texting back and forth with my nearly dead boyfriend!
We got to the beach and had such a good time in the killer waves. They were raping me! Thank god I was with Yates who is native to this fine part of the country. Not native as in aboriginal, but native as in he grew up here on the Sunny Coast and in the water! After passing the shore line where the waves break, it is actually quite calm. He taught me when you have to dive through a wave and when you catch it to body surf- I need practice with this. There were a couple of times I ended up in the break and the water slammed me down hard on my butt! The first time hurt my right cheek- had I been a normal bruiser, there would have been a large black area consuming most of the cheek. Another time, I sand scraped my left cheek! It is quite scary being caught in the break. It flips you around and you have no control. You just wait to feel how it is going to smash you into the sand. Even being far out is scary, you never know if it will pull you in further or if a shark is creeping close by!! (:[] That is suppose to look like a worried face..hahha
I still couldnt get Justin off my mind! I was still not over it and so I headed back into shore. There were a couple more texts from him. We talked via texting for a bit. They were keeping him in a little longer. Also, they seemed to be busy with a drunk patient in the bed next to him. Justin was telling me how they had to restrain him. He said he would call me when he got home.
Yates and I left the beach. When I got home, I quickly showered. When I was taking my togs off, I noticed soemthing sitting in an odd place! There placed stratigically over my left nipple was a sea shell!! ahhaahha So funny! A perfect fit! I felt like a slutty Little Mermaid! lol ( my shell was no where near as proper as hers!!)
I quickly showered and made a dinner. Hmm a yummy salad with Calmari on top. I didnt have too much time to get ready. Ron was having a surprise birthday party for Bell who was turning 24. Yay Im not the only Gma around here anymore! Amanda, Rachel and I made cupcakes too. I invited Brenda to come along. A funny story about Brenda. Remember that day we had her write Tight Vag, Moose Knuckle, and Big Cock on our stomachs in Korean? Well we knew she didnt know what she was writing at all. I never thought anything of it. We were talking while I was making salad and she was talking about things she learned in her studies. She is here to learn english and in class they were talking about knuckles- body parts. She kept saying Moose Knuckle toher teacher, who kept ignoring her. Brenda didnt understand why her teacher was ignoring her! When she told me this, I nearly died laughing! I felt soo bad! I told Brenda why her teacher was ignoring her and she was sooo embarrassed. I told her I would teach her all the bad words for now on so that she wouldnt make an ass of herself ever again! ahhahahahh
For those of you who are not familiar with a Moose Knuckle, let me explain. We all know what a camel toe is. If you dont, you are too old or too young to read this! A camel toe is found on a girl- but a moose knuckle is found on a boy! hahahah Its larger!! ahhaahahha SOOO FUNNY!!! Bhaha
As we were going to the party, Justin had finally called me. I finally got to hear the story. I still had soo much anxiety about it all. What had happened was, Justin was at his friend Jeffs house. Jeffs mom had given Justin a chocolate. He ate it. Like a dummy! Anyways, I guess it all happened instantly. I guess his throat started closing right away. Before he did anything, he picked up his cell phone and texted me!! Next he called his sister, Kelti who is also a nurse. She could not understand a thing he was saying because he was unable to talk at this point! She called 911 and so did Jeff. The lady on the phone was telling Justin to calm down and sit down. Two ambulances showed up and Justin ran straight out there. They inserted an IV in his arm onthe way to the hospital. The medics had said that if it had been any longer, they would have had to give him an emergency trachea. ( I think trachea, because I dont think they would have been able to intubate him with his throat being closed up!!! ) They got him into the hospital and pumped him full with two shots of adrenaline.
I was soo relieved to have finally talked with him. This was such a horrible experience. I told him I was going to stab him with an epi pen for scaring me soo much! I still cannot believe that he texted me right away when his life was in danger. What am I going to do when I am on the other side of the world!!! The medics told him afterwards to call them first if ever this happens again. The doctors also reminded him that with every reation, it gets worse and worse. GREAT!! :(
He let me go to enjoy the party and I let him go rest. Although he had a lot of adrenaline, so I think he was too tired. I joined the party.
There must have been about 30-40 of us at the party. We all waited patiently for Bell to show up. She had no idea we were all here. It was a total surprise! We had a smoke machine, laser light show, music and loud stereo, and much much more. It was here in the village two doors down from my place. Again I remained sober for the night. I am beginning to like this!
Finally we got the call that she was coming. I was on lights duty. So when she walked in, I flicked the lights and we all yelled "SURPRISE!!" and blew our noise makers and threw our confetti like ribbon thrower kind of things. She was soo surprised! It was by far the best surprise party that I have ever been to, simply based on the amount of surprise and effort was made for it!
The party was fun. Lots of good ppl showed up. Lewis had to leave early because he is in the army and the next day was Anzack day. This is like rememberance day, but it is only for Australia and New Zealand. He had brought with him a friend who is also in the army with him. He was very shy I thought because he wasnt talking to anyone. So I started talking to him. Mistake! He was sooo... rediculous! He was saying how he was too old for party favors and noise makers and that he hadnt used one for like three years. I asked him how old he was and he said nineteen! 19!! Only freaking 19!! I was shocked and passed him a noise maker! I told him to take a risk and that I wouldnt tell anyone. he hesitated big time! Then when I was finally about to walk away, he gave the smallest little blow and quickly moved it away from his mouth. I think he thought we were all very immature and got the impression the he thought he was above us all. My snob radar was going out of control. I slowly started to talk to others and forgot him. Not worth my precious time! Im only here for two years! hahah
So at one point I was looking for Adog. Ron told me she was upstairs. I went up to find her and she was in Joels room with him and Adam. She was trying on some of Joels army stuff. A bullet proof vest and gun/ tool belt thing. It was all pretty sweet. When I had gone in there, Joel showed me two marks. One was on his abdomen above his navel and the other on his right butt cheek. Adam shot him in the stomach and Amanda shot him in the ass with Joels BB gun!! WTF!?!?? " Hey Arby. you want to shoot me too??" " Hell Yes!!! " ahhahahaha So I tried on teh vest and got some sweet pictures and then I had some target practice on a water bottle in the closet. I did a good job and so he let me shoot him in the stomach as well. BOUGH!!! ( I have no idea how to make a gun noise- that is as good as I can make it! hahaha) We all thought I had gotten him in the nut sack at first. Then he revealed to show that I got him below the navel just above his pant line! teehee! He said that one hurt the most! It was really fun, but really scary too. I dont know why anyone would let us shoot them! hahaha He must be crazy. This is before any of them were drunk! Besides Ford that is. He was a wreck. He had even dropped his phone in the toilet. You could barley understand him.
While I was up talking with Joel and getting to know his friend Adam, Someone came up and told us that Ford had cut himself somehow. We ran down there and found Ford lying down outside on the bench. Nurse Adog was wrapping a shirt around his calf. I had briefly seen the cut, and I would have to describe it more as a gaping wound. Amanda seemed to have it under control and she had someone dial 911- ops I mean 000. Its different here. I also learned that in England, it is 999. (There is a little fact you can impress all your friends with!) I went to inspect to see what had happened. There was blood all over the floor by the stereo. I cleaned it up since there was some idiot who must have been high on something dancing in it. He also was trying to play music. He didnt seem to think Ford's injury was a party stopping incident. Dumbass! We screamed at him and he sat down. *Arby rolls her eyes*. I cleaned up the blood and could find nothing that would ahve cut Ford this badly. There was no blood trail or anything.
The ambulance arrived and gave Ford some pain killer. I was unfamiliar with the drug, but it came in a green container that he inhaled. He was being a baby about it since he was soo drunk. Apparently it tasted awful! With lots of the girls encouraging him, he breathed it all in. The medics removed the t-shirt and revealed the wound. This is the part where I was a spectator and not a professional! lol when I saw the wound was accessible, I hinted to everyone that they should snap a picture! hahah So everyone and their dog had their cameras and phones in there snapping pictures. This rightfully so made the medics a little annoyed, although I did see one of them laugh a little at first. I think they found it all a little amusing, not the fact that our friend was hurt, but the fact that some of us, me included, were making jokes about it all. Not that I am a mean person and like that he is in pain, but because of the randomness of it all and how he was acting and how we had discovered it. They bandaged him and put this stablizing air pumped leg wrap around his leg and off he went to the hospital. Drunk Joel and drunk Adam accompanied him, who I later learned were kicked out for being roudy in the hospital. I think they were pretending to lick his wound and I have no idea what else. Would have been funny.
So how we found Ford's hurt leg!! I guess he approched Amanda and asked her how she was going. ( Here they often ask " how're you going" instead of doing. Odd I know. ) She replied that she was good and asked him the same. He replied, " oh , you know, not soo good", "whys that Ford??", " well, my leg hurts. Ya actually it really really hurts. " When she looked down at it she saw blood everywhere. She lifted his pant leg and told someone to call and ambulance. She got him to lay down and after he did and he saw the blood and cut, this is when he started to freak out. Before this, he had been calm and had no idea! This is what we were kind of joking about. lol Poor guy ended up with 21 stitches. He may even need a skin graft depending if the tissue heals or not. It was looking pretty blackened in some places. He still has no idea what happened!
After he left, the party continued where it had left off. people joked about it here and there. The guy who had been dancing in the blood was going crazy dancing. He also had somehow lost his shirt. WTF?!?!? * Arby rolls her eyes at the same loser yet again!!*
Amanda and I didnt stay too much longer. We had plans to go boating the next day. In bed for us by 2am!! What a sh*t show of a day!
I had my usual wake up call from my international man. I hurried myself off to Uni to hand in my assignment. I also had to hand in a document to my leading lady up on the fifth floor in the international department- Deb!
I got home and was on the computer, blogging most likely. Its been my goal this week to catch up! I went downstairs to fix a bite to eat. When I came back up, I checked my phone as per usual as Justin and I are texting all day! Yay a text from him! I open it and immediatly am in disbelief and panic! " I ate something with nuts" is what I saw written! Justin is allergic to nuts. ( Not peanuts or almonds, but very much so to every other nut including sesame seeds!!). He had sent the text 10 minutes ago. I quickly sent a text back wondering if everything was ok. 20 minutes gone by- nothing! I didnt want to react and get all upset if he was just pulling my leg or soemthing. Who knows what he was doing. Maybe he took some benadryl and fell asleep. Maybe it wasnt bad. In Vancouver he ate some peanuts and almonds and had a reaction because we think they may have been mixed with something else. I made him take benadryl and it helped the reaction, but it gave him a back stomach ache. Hopefully he was just sleeping it off. It was pretty late there. I sent another text telling him that he better be ok and that he better get an epi pen like the many times I had told him to!
I distracted myself with a movie, that I paid no attention to. I couldnt really think about much else. Time was going by and I heard nothing at all! I was really starting to worry. I was home alone and coldnt even talk to anyone! then- riiing! riiing!! I answer quickly. " I Kristin, this is Wendy", Justins mom. OMG!! Why is she calling me!!! She then asked if I knew what had happened. I explained to her the text I recieved and that was all. She then said that he was admitted to the hospital and was breathing on his own now. She said they had given him adrenaline and that he couldnt talk yet but that he wanted her to call me right away to tell me that he was ok. What I heard was- hospital, breathing on own NOW, adrenaline, cannot talk!! She asked me if I was ok and I was speechless. Only able to give answers like " uh well... uh ya, uh..." She let me go and I cried on the stair case- where I was standing when she called- like a little baby! ugh!
Ten minutes later still feeling like a baby, I recieved a text from Justin himself! " That was an adventure! I hope my hair is still good! haha." I was soo not impressed! Then another, "Just at the hospital. You should have told me this was gonna happen. Youre in the future!! " : And another, " You better get here before I die!" He sent me many funny texts, even joking about our unborn son that doesnt exist and how he wants me to make sure he drives a Chev!!! I explained to him that I was upset with him but glad he was ok and that if this ever happened again, I dont want to know until he is better or dead! He was at Stony Plain Hospital. He sent a text that said, " I was at home dying! Funny story! I will tell you when I get home! I thought I was dead! hah Stupid eh? We know I cant die! haha".
After him texting me for a bit, Yates showed up. I told him the story and he was sorry to hear it. However, when I started repeating the post reaction texts, Yates was laughing pretty hard and reguarding Justin even higher in his books! Yates asked me if I wanted to go to the beach- Hell Yes! Off we went. On the way, we stopped at Subway for I handed in a resume. I was going to do more, but I didnt want poor Yates to wait for me. This whole time I am still texting back and forth with my nearly dead boyfriend!
We got to the beach and had such a good time in the killer waves. They were raping me! Thank god I was with Yates who is native to this fine part of the country. Not native as in aboriginal, but native as in he grew up here on the Sunny Coast and in the water! After passing the shore line where the waves break, it is actually quite calm. He taught me when you have to dive through a wave and when you catch it to body surf- I need practice with this. There were a couple of times I ended up in the break and the water slammed me down hard on my butt! The first time hurt my right cheek- had I been a normal bruiser, there would have been a large black area consuming most of the cheek. Another time, I sand scraped my left cheek! It is quite scary being caught in the break. It flips you around and you have no control. You just wait to feel how it is going to smash you into the sand. Even being far out is scary, you never know if it will pull you in further or if a shark is creeping close by!! (:[] That is suppose to look like a worried face..hahha
I still couldnt get Justin off my mind! I was still not over it and so I headed back into shore. There were a couple more texts from him. We talked via texting for a bit. They were keeping him in a little longer. Also, they seemed to be busy with a drunk patient in the bed next to him. Justin was telling me how they had to restrain him. He said he would call me when he got home.
Yates and I left the beach. When I got home, I quickly showered. When I was taking my togs off, I noticed soemthing sitting in an odd place! There placed stratigically over my left nipple was a sea shell!! ahhaahha So funny! A perfect fit! I felt like a slutty Little Mermaid! lol ( my shell was no where near as proper as hers!!)
I quickly showered and made a dinner. Hmm a yummy salad with Calmari on top. I didnt have too much time to get ready. Ron was having a surprise birthday party for Bell who was turning 24. Yay Im not the only Gma around here anymore! Amanda, Rachel and I made cupcakes too. I invited Brenda to come along. A funny story about Brenda. Remember that day we had her write Tight Vag, Moose Knuckle, and Big Cock on our stomachs in Korean? Well we knew she didnt know what she was writing at all. I never thought anything of it. We were talking while I was making salad and she was talking about things she learned in her studies. She is here to learn english and in class they were talking about knuckles- body parts. She kept saying Moose Knuckle toher teacher, who kept ignoring her. Brenda didnt understand why her teacher was ignoring her! When she told me this, I nearly died laughing! I felt soo bad! I told Brenda why her teacher was ignoring her and she was sooo embarrassed. I told her I would teach her all the bad words for now on so that she wouldnt make an ass of herself ever again! ahhahahahh
For those of you who are not familiar with a Moose Knuckle, let me explain. We all know what a camel toe is. If you dont, you are too old or too young to read this! A camel toe is found on a girl- but a moose knuckle is found on a boy! hahahah Its larger!! ahhaahahha SOOO FUNNY!!! Bhaha
As we were going to the party, Justin had finally called me. I finally got to hear the story. I still had soo much anxiety about it all. What had happened was, Justin was at his friend Jeffs house. Jeffs mom had given Justin a chocolate. He ate it. Like a dummy! Anyways, I guess it all happened instantly. I guess his throat started closing right away. Before he did anything, he picked up his cell phone and texted me!! Next he called his sister, Kelti who is also a nurse. She could not understand a thing he was saying because he was unable to talk at this point! She called 911 and so did Jeff. The lady on the phone was telling Justin to calm down and sit down. Two ambulances showed up and Justin ran straight out there. They inserted an IV in his arm onthe way to the hospital. The medics had said that if it had been any longer, they would have had to give him an emergency trachea. ( I think trachea, because I dont think they would have been able to intubate him with his throat being closed up!!! ) They got him into the hospital and pumped him full with two shots of adrenaline.
I was soo relieved to have finally talked with him. This was such a horrible experience. I told him I was going to stab him with an epi pen for scaring me soo much! I still cannot believe that he texted me right away when his life was in danger. What am I going to do when I am on the other side of the world!!! The medics told him afterwards to call them first if ever this happens again. The doctors also reminded him that with every reation, it gets worse and worse. GREAT!! :(
He let me go to enjoy the party and I let him go rest. Although he had a lot of adrenaline, so I think he was too tired. I joined the party.
There must have been about 30-40 of us at the party. We all waited patiently for Bell to show up. She had no idea we were all here. It was a total surprise! We had a smoke machine, laser light show, music and loud stereo, and much much more. It was here in the village two doors down from my place. Again I remained sober for the night. I am beginning to like this!
Finally we got the call that she was coming. I was on lights duty. So when she walked in, I flicked the lights and we all yelled "SURPRISE!!" and blew our noise makers and threw our confetti like ribbon thrower kind of things. She was soo surprised! It was by far the best surprise party that I have ever been to, simply based on the amount of surprise and effort was made for it!
The party was fun. Lots of good ppl showed up. Lewis had to leave early because he is in the army and the next day was Anzack day. This is like rememberance day, but it is only for Australia and New Zealand. He had brought with him a friend who is also in the army with him. He was very shy I thought because he wasnt talking to anyone. So I started talking to him. Mistake! He was sooo... rediculous! He was saying how he was too old for party favors and noise makers and that he hadnt used one for like three years. I asked him how old he was and he said nineteen! 19!! Only freaking 19!! I was shocked and passed him a noise maker! I told him to take a risk and that I wouldnt tell anyone. he hesitated big time! Then when I was finally about to walk away, he gave the smallest little blow and quickly moved it away from his mouth. I think he thought we were all very immature and got the impression the he thought he was above us all. My snob radar was going out of control. I slowly started to talk to others and forgot him. Not worth my precious time! Im only here for two years! hahah
So at one point I was looking for Adog. Ron told me she was upstairs. I went up to find her and she was in Joels room with him and Adam. She was trying on some of Joels army stuff. A bullet proof vest and gun/ tool belt thing. It was all pretty sweet. When I had gone in there, Joel showed me two marks. One was on his abdomen above his navel and the other on his right butt cheek. Adam shot him in the stomach and Amanda shot him in the ass with Joels BB gun!! WTF!?!?? " Hey Arby. you want to shoot me too??" " Hell Yes!!! " ahhahahaha So I tried on teh vest and got some sweet pictures and then I had some target practice on a water bottle in the closet. I did a good job and so he let me shoot him in the stomach as well. BOUGH!!! ( I have no idea how to make a gun noise- that is as good as I can make it! hahaha) We all thought I had gotten him in the nut sack at first. Then he revealed to show that I got him below the navel just above his pant line! teehee! He said that one hurt the most! It was really fun, but really scary too. I dont know why anyone would let us shoot them! hahaha He must be crazy. This is before any of them were drunk! Besides Ford that is. He was a wreck. He had even dropped his phone in the toilet. You could barley understand him.
While I was up talking with Joel and getting to know his friend Adam, Someone came up and told us that Ford had cut himself somehow. We ran down there and found Ford lying down outside on the bench. Nurse Adog was wrapping a shirt around his calf. I had briefly seen the cut, and I would have to describe it more as a gaping wound. Amanda seemed to have it under control and she had someone dial 911- ops I mean 000. Its different here. I also learned that in England, it is 999. (There is a little fact you can impress all your friends with!) I went to inspect to see what had happened. There was blood all over the floor by the stereo. I cleaned it up since there was some idiot who must have been high on something dancing in it. He also was trying to play music. He didnt seem to think Ford's injury was a party stopping incident. Dumbass! We screamed at him and he sat down. *Arby rolls her eyes*. I cleaned up the blood and could find nothing that would ahve cut Ford this badly. There was no blood trail or anything.
The ambulance arrived and gave Ford some pain killer. I was unfamiliar with the drug, but it came in a green container that he inhaled. He was being a baby about it since he was soo drunk. Apparently it tasted awful! With lots of the girls encouraging him, he breathed it all in. The medics removed the t-shirt and revealed the wound. This is the part where I was a spectator and not a professional! lol when I saw the wound was accessible, I hinted to everyone that they should snap a picture! hahah So everyone and their dog had their cameras and phones in there snapping pictures. This rightfully so made the medics a little annoyed, although I did see one of them laugh a little at first. I think they found it all a little amusing, not the fact that our friend was hurt, but the fact that some of us, me included, were making jokes about it all. Not that I am a mean person and like that he is in pain, but because of the randomness of it all and how he was acting and how we had discovered it. They bandaged him and put this stablizing air pumped leg wrap around his leg and off he went to the hospital. Drunk Joel and drunk Adam accompanied him, who I later learned were kicked out for being roudy in the hospital. I think they were pretending to lick his wound and I have no idea what else. Would have been funny.
So how we found Ford's hurt leg!! I guess he approched Amanda and asked her how she was going. ( Here they often ask " how're you going" instead of doing. Odd I know. ) She replied that she was good and asked him the same. He replied, " oh , you know, not soo good", "whys that Ford??", " well, my leg hurts. Ya actually it really really hurts. " When she looked down at it she saw blood everywhere. She lifted his pant leg and told someone to call and ambulance.

Amanda and I didnt stay too much longer. We had plans to go boating the next day. In bed for us by 2am!! What a sh*t show of a day!
Ketchup Today and Relish Tomorrow!
Tuesday April 21st
Wake up call from Justin. Then I was up and cleaned my house so the bi-weekly cleaners could come and to the surface wash. They dont do a very good job anyways, but we have to be ready for them. There is this whole yellow and red card system! My place has been soo clean since Mat has moved out. ( And Shonleigh hasnt been home either.) Its mostly Brenda and I and we do the dishes all the time and keep our belongings in our rooms. Its a good system!
I went to class and when I came back, Shon's car was in the garage. She wasnt in the house so I immediatly went over to Jess's knowing she would be there. I ran upstairs and yelled Jess's name. I got up there and didnt see Shon anywhere, so I whipped the door closed to find her hinding from me!! hahahah She thought she was sneaky! We had a good time talking about her trip and my holiday. She showed me her tattoo that is in french. It is suppose to mean "rely on yourself" and it is a quote written by a famous french guy so she had it written in french. However, there are not many french people here and she got the translation off of the internet. I asked Gilles what it meant, and he said " do it yourself". hahaha Basically the same thing!
Went back home and had a little workout. A little nap. Connected myself with the world on FB after a very dry 2.5 weeks! I had a shower and some of the boys were over to visit us after the break. They had to leave to play cricket. While they were here, they joked about Yates. I forgot to mention this story. On Saturday at the Warf, Yates was sooo drunk. I was taking a picture of the two of us and he squeezed my bum right as I snapped the photo! I looked at with total shock and he said, " you have no idea how long I have been wanting to do that for!!" I was completly speechless! He did it right in frontof Justin too! Then he did a shot and ran upstairs and we didnt see him for the rest of the night! hahaha So the boys had a good time making Yates blush about that!
I recieved another call from Canada and Shon and I headed over to the pizza place for cheap day. Came back home after a quick grocery shop. Brenda and Adog joined us. Xanthy and Jess were over afterwards. Shon and Jess are a little rude to Brenda. I dont think they know that she understands most of what they are saying. They wouldnt be soo rude if they knew she understood. They call her Miss Kim- her last name- even though she has told them not to call her that. ( luckily I think Brenda likes it now). They also try to get her to say bad words all the time just because it is funny. They always tell her that this is the way something is done, even though its not. Im always telling Brenda they are lying when they dont look. She sometimes says she knows they are. Its not too bad.
On this particular night, Brenda was telling us about her boyfriend back home. He wants to marry her, but she is not sure. He ha cheated on her before and this is her first boyfriend. She tells me that she is curious about other boys too. I dont know how it is in Korea, but I dont want to give her too much advise where her culture will be shamed. So I just tell her what I would do instead. Sometime she tells me about the fights they have too and her eyes puff up very big. ( more then Stacey's when I was dropped at the airport). Look at that, Im off topic... so on this night, she was talking about her boyfriend. I dont know how we got onto the topic, but she was telling us how her man calls her lady parts her butterfly and she calls his man parts his flower! He asks her " how is your butterfly??" and vise versa!! ahhahaha The girls had quite the riot with this and now we all say it! :)
I looked at some school stuff and hit the hay!
Wednesday April 22nd
Wake up call again, Im a lucky lady! I noticed it was getting more breezy on the way to Uni today. I am going to start bringing a coat with me. They are doing a bunch of construction by my house. I think this caused the side walk to flood copius amounts when it rains. The water is always kind of orange. I just brushed it off as the heat turning it orange. Today, I noticed they had dug a ditch along side the path. As I look at it, and smell it, I am pretty sure it was sewage!! GROSS!!! I have been walking ankle deep in this many times! Im soo sure it is. It looks like poo! Brown poo! It looks like a slightly lighter shade of poo that was stuck in my toilet way back when I first arrived and Mat lived here! Eww Yugh disgusting! At least now I dont have to walk in it. I just have to smell it.... :S
Today was a day to catch up on alot of stuff. I did alot of school work and blogging! haha I also talked to Justin alot, shocker I know! I wrote some letters to home and Yates came over to visit. We talked about his sister who is a year younger than I. She is moving to Scottland for two years for work. Yates said that her and I are very similar. We were talking about past relationships and uprooting and moving away. He said that our nature is similar as well. I have never met her, but all the other guys give Yates a hard time becuase she is The Hot Sisiter! ahhahaha
I later walked to school with Woolly. Things are going well with her and My Space. He is moving down here as soon as he can. He is hooked on this girl. Its really sweet really. We are all getting long distance lovers! lol we are retarded! What can you do though! Class was alright. Wednesday afternoon is my worst time to concentrate! We got shushed by an old cow! I hadnt even realized we were being disruptive. If I had known I would have shut up on my own. She could have just let me know in a nice way instead of being an old cow! hahhahaha ... or I could just pay attention I suppose!
Justin posted pics from our trip today. He is feeling better. I was soo happy to see the pics! I wish that I had a copy of all of them!! After class, Adog, Rachel and I went to the computer labs to look at them! How fun!
We went for a jog, and I made some yummy dinner. Woolley, Shon, and Brenda were around and we were talking about Ghosting. This is Australian I guess and its when someone walks behind someone else unoticed. It is really funny. There are all kinds of ways to Ghost someone. There is double ghosting, where you have someone on your shoulders while you ghost. usually you do it to some random stranger. When they realize you are there, you turn around like nothing happened and keep walking! I cannot wait to bring this fun trick into Canada! ! !
I spent a long time going through all my USC emails. I didnt realize how many I had. It took up alot of my mega bytes and I was not impressed. Now I check it everyday. This was the first time I had ever logged on, not knowing how to before, and I had probably over 100 messages! ugh!
I talked to Justin on the computer- he is still on Arby time! I went to bed.
Thursday April 23rd
How did I wake up, yes you are correct! I did have a wake up call! There is no better way to wake up! The plan for today was to start and finish my respiratory assignment. I have had three weeks to do it, and was clearly distracted.
I dont have classes on thursdays, so I took my time. I did the dishes and cleaned up a bit. I talked to Justin on the phone quite a bit as well. When I finally went to do my assignment, Black Board wasnt working! This is my school web site that I needed information on to complete my assignment. I waited for it to begin working again! I waited and waited and was really starting to get nervous! I began blogging while waiting for it! I had alot to catch up on that as well! you all shold be happy Black Board was out, other wise, I would still be extremely behind!! lol)
Finally, at about 4pm it began working again. I finished my assignment by 1930. I quickly got ready for dancing at Woombye. Shon wanted to go out because it had been soo long since we have all gotten together. We had a bunch of people over at our place and we convinced Brenda to chill and come out with us.
It felt good to be sober while everyone else drank. So far, I am being quite successful at this detox thing. I am definitly taking it easy! Justin says he is doing the same at home. We danced our butts off at Woombye. Brenda was a good sport. It was her first time being out to a club in Australia. She took a bnch of pictures and showed us a "heart" dance. It is cute having an asian around! hahaha She even showed us a sexy dance with a chair! We were all soo surprised! Jess said " this is how we dance here" and she did that - grab your ankle and your head and thrust your knee into your body- dance. This is when brenda grabbed the chair and said " this is a sexy dance in Korea". It was classic!
Brock was a waste case on this night. I have never seen him soo drunk. I didnt even think he would make it out to Woombye. He was that guy who is sitting and can barley hold his head up. He is that guy who has trouble holding his hand up as he points to from across the room and says " I love you Arby"!! ahhhahaha And then says it to everyone! hahaha
After being done at the bar, ( I could have left heaps long before we did, but Shon was a bit drunkand soo keen to have a good time), we went to Mackers. I hadnt had time for dinner and it was soo good.
I got home and talked to Justin, as per usual, and went to bed.
Wake up call from Justin. Then I was up and cleaned my house so the bi-weekly cleaners could come and to the surface wash. They dont do a very good job anyways, but we have to be ready for them. There is this whole yellow and red card system! My place has been soo clean since Mat has moved out. ( And Shonleigh hasnt been home either.)

I spent a long time going through all my USC emails. I didnt realize how many I had. It took up alot of my mega bytes and I was not impressed. Now I check it everyday. This was the first time I had ever logged on, not knowing how to before, and I had probably over 100 messages! ugh!
I talked to Justin on the computer- he is still on Arby time! I went to bed.
Thursday April 23rd
How did I wake up, yes you are correct! I did have a wake up call! There is no better way to wake up! The plan for today was to start and finish my respiratory assignment. I have had three weeks to do it, and was clearly distracted.
I dont have classes on thursdays, so I took my time. I did the dishes and cleaned up a bit. I talked to Justin on the phone quite a bit as well. When I finally went to do my assignment, Black Board wasnt working! This is my school web site that I needed information on to complete my assignment. I waited for it to begin working again! I waited and waited and was really starting to get nervous! I began blogging while waiting for it! I had alot to catch up on that as well! you all shold be happy Black Board was out, other wise, I would still be extremely behind!! lol)
Finally, at about 4pm it began working again. I finished my assignment by 1930. I quickly got ready for dancing at Woombye. Shon wanted to go out because it had been soo long since we have all gotten together. We had a bunch of people over at our place and we convinced Brenda to chill and come out with us.
It felt good to be sober while everyone else drank. So far, I am being quite successful at this detox thing. I am definitly taking it easy! Justin says he is doing the same at home. We danced our butts off at Woombye. Brenda was a good sport. It was her first time being out to a club in Australia. She took a bnch of pictures and showed us a "heart" dance. It is cute having an asian around! hahaha She even showed us a sexy dance with a chair! We were all soo surprised! Jess said " this is how we dance here" and she did that - grab your ankle and your head and thrust your knee into your body- dance. This is when brenda grabbed the chair and said " this is a sexy dance in Korea". It was classic!
Brock was a waste case on this night. I have never seen him soo drunk. I didnt even think he would make it out to Woombye. He was that guy who is sitting and can barley hold his head up. He is that guy who has trouble holding his hand up as he points to from across the room and says " I love you Arby"!! ahhhahaha And then says it to everyone! hahaha
After being done at the bar, ( I could have left heaps long before we did, but Shon was a bit drunkand soo keen to have a good time), we went to Mackers. I hadnt had time for dinner and it was soo good.
I got home and talked to Justin, as per usual, and went to bed.
