sorted. but not. but sorted.

HUJAMBO! I'm from Swahili! Did you forget?! Hahah, no I'm just kidding. Though I do love languages though as you may have noticed. Okay, time to get straight to it because a lot of things have happened these past two days that I have found necessary to blog about. :)

Okeydoke, yesterday I went to the Melbourne Uni Open Day which was really really fun and helpful and now I know what degree I want to take, what subjects I might enjoy and my way around Melbourne Uni. :) I was planning to go by myself so I wouldn't get distracted but I met the lovely Kimmo (yes, the glitter and wanderlust one) and Nina, our friend from school and we decided to explore the uni together. I was very grateful to be able to meet up with them though because I don't think I would've enjoyed my day as much if they hadn't been there. :) (Thanks guys)! We walked around heaps and the most exciting things included getting a free mocha (they were amazing), free coffee samples, getting a photo taken with a bear (as shown below), looking at the reptile van, taking our photo with the 'grape with the orange guitar' (don't ask) and attending a creative writing lecture in which I was thinking "Tash should really be here right now." So I think I'm going to do a Science and Arts double degree so I can keep my options open and have my studies catered towards my interests and my hobbies. :)wooo I'm so glad I finally worked that out because now all I have to do is get the marks which means I finally have motivation to do well in school now. yay! :)

After a very helpful day at Melbourne Uni, Kimmo, Nina and I randomly met our friend, Van, and it turned out they were going to the same party. So after the girls did all their getting ready girly stuff for this party I wasn't invited to (i hate you hillary, just kidding, HOPE YOU HAD A FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY PARTY HILLARY AND I HELPED PICK OUT YOUR PRESENT SO I HOPE YOU LIKE THAT TOO! :)) On my way home, I bumped in to a guy setting up the soup van and asked him how I could get involved and so he told me that I can help him prepare the food next Sunday! WEEEEEE WOOOO I'M SO EXCITED. I'M FINALLY GETTING A JOB!! But not really since it's volunteer work but I couldn't be happier to help out! :)

That was yesterday so now on to today! :)I had a really fun, relaxing, nice day out today as well. A couple of my friends and I were going to go to the city and explore little shops that we'd seen before but never had the chance to go in today but sadly, half of them couldn't make it. :( Instead, Ellen and Tash and I went to Readings to use our book vouchers we had received from school last year. We spent probably around an hour or so in Readings and Tash eventually bought three Greek Mythology books (no one saw that coming), Ellen bought a book about making chocolate (again, surprise surprise) and I bought 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I finished the Sherlock TV series with Benedict Cumberbatch a while back and I loved it so I decided to give the books a try. :) I'm quite excited to read it actually. After our nerdy book-buying session, we went to Brunetti's and drank mochas like sophisticated ladies. (HAHAHHA, NO NOT REALLY) We then walked all the way home and stopped at the McDonald's in the hospital and looked at meerkats and ate stuff and chatted as Natasha was engrossed in her book. It actually does sound really awesome so far going off what she's told me about it. :D She'll probably blog about it later to(night/day). We then go to my house and we were going to watch "Nightmare Before Christmas" but Tash was still engrossed in her book, Ellen wanted to play piano and I was yelling at Michelle for the reason I will blog about a little bit later so we decided we'd watch it another time. :)

Today I had a mental breakdown. I'm actually not even exaggerating, I know I do that a lot but this time I'm not. Rightio, so here's how it all went. We got home and then I checked my twitter and realised ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS IS GOING TO BE LEAVING TO ANOTHER SCHOOL AT THE END OF THE YEAR. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO NOOOODFJDJFHSDFNDKJFHBADSHFBDSJFBDS. I was basically swearing at the world and spammed her on every social network site she had access too and called her and yelled at her like some crazy person. But to be completely honest, I'm really really really happy for her because I remember when she didn't get into this school in year 8 when she tried out for it, she came to school crying her poor little eyes and she was devastated for about a week. And now she's finally done it! She got in! And as a friend, I have to be supportive and caring and considerate and I have to let her go because I love her to bits. OH god, I'm going to be a mess at the end of the year. An absolute sobbing, weeping, crying, howling mess. But Michelle, if you read this, I'M SERIOUSLY OVERJOYED THAT YOU'RE FINALLY GOING TO GO TO YOUR DREAM SCHOOL AND I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU AND THAT I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU! :) <3 :=":" p="p">
Okay, so now all that is done, I have to go and wash the dishes and I might blog later about whatever I can think about. :) Bye, you gorgeous examples of homosapiens!

MAARY.

Aloha!

Ciao bellas! How are we all? I'm pretty great actually. Just finished the first week of term 3 and school homework hasn't piled up that much. Well, before I go into detail about all the things you MOST DEFINITELY need to know about me, I must apologise for not blogging for about 3 weeks. I was just so lazy and out of it on the holidays, I seriously was basically hibernating and watching old Disney movies and Korean dramas. Alright, fine, so a couple eventful things happened to me on the holidays and I will not proceed to blog about them all because I know you care. HAHAHAHHAHHANO.

Experience Days

So I signed up for a couple of Experience Days at a Uni to see what it was like. I already told you about he first one which was the hospital visit where I got to touch organs. The second one I went to was a Marketing, Advertising and PR Experience day which was quite fun and I learnt a lot. For marketing, we had to identify the target market of a certain product that will be coming out next year in Australia. (Yeah, that's right, we go to see it first cos we special kids). In our Advertising workshop, we had to come up with a slogan for that very same product and in our PR workshop, we had to create an event using as much money and facilities as we wanted to promote that product. It was really fun to try and think outside the box and our teachers were old hilarious men! One was even Scottish which gave me huge Brave feels. :D

The third one I went to was a Community Justice Day which was quite good. We had a few workshops: Youth Work, Social Work, Legal Department and something else I can't remember. :( Well, I really loved the Social Work activity which was really getting into this character named Sandy who was troubled in every single way and learning the psychological techniques to try and help her and support her in her situation. It was really interesting and I'm considering it as something I'd like to do in the future. I also loved the Legal Department activity because it was a nice little play of Sleeping Beauty Vs. Prince Charming in court which was awesome. The Prince was charged with assault for kissing Sleeping Beauty without her permission. Even though, Prince Charming saved his kingdom and obviously didn't mean to hurt Sleeping Beauty, he was still charged with assault because whether Prince charming saved the kingdom or not, Sleeping Beauty was still kissed without her permission. It was hilarious and they gave us lollies in the end so that's always fantastic! :D

The fourth experience day I went to was a Health and Medical Sciences day which was quite fun but probably not something I'd end up doing in life. We had about seven workshops and I'm way too lazy to list them all but I met lots of really nice people but forgot to get their emails. Oh well! Even our dearest Kimmo came! :D

TASHIEEEEE DEAREST'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Firstly, I'd like to apologise to 'Lunga' (only she will get this, sorry) for not posting a happy birthday NATASHA post sooner. So, for Tashie's birthday, she took us out for burritos which we ate with all the grace of the Queen. (Only Ellen did, actually). Tash and I, on the other hand had stuff raining from our burritos on to our table and everything. We also went to see The Amazing Spiderman 4 which had Tashie fangirling all the way home, that crazy girl. Anywho, thank you for a wonderful day, Tashie and I hope you had an even better day even though we were all feeling a little down in the dumps that week and I hope you enjoy your present! ;) That I swear will eventually be coming. I swear. I promise. :D LOVE YOU!

First week of school:

My first week of school has been pretty fun actually. Not too much homework piling up so far so that's good. My electives this semester are Drama (FUDGE YESSSS) and Multimedia which isn't too bad because the teacher is very chill and calls me "Specs" because I have white specs. LOLOL Isn't he just hilarious? Anywho, it's the dreaded doomsday for me tomorrow so that means tutor, viet school and piano tomorrow. :( WAAAHHHHH! Alright, I'm going to go work on my English powerpoint and practise piano. Bye dearests!

It's great to be back! Hope to blog soon! :D love you guys, stay safe and well, and keep warm this shite ass winter!

MAARY.
