Hello lovely people!

After all of my exams, I am now on holidays! Very excited. I have been able to sleep and now have in my hot little hands a CAMERA! So I'll be able to experiment in a bit of photography this summer. Of course, it won't be very good photography, but I'm looking forward to it .

In other news, my mum managed to score some tickets to the midnight premier of New Moon tonight (it's 2:30am here, so it's technically within the same day), which I am looking forward to, particularly because I have a brand new top to show off! It's in my gallery if you want to check it out, I'm sure you'll know which one it is . I'll let you know if I come out of it alive .

Um, that's about all from me, but remember people: be discursive, it'll make you sound smarter!

Much love!

Hey Everyone!

It's been a while, huh? Miss me?

Anyway, just popped by to inform you lovely people that today marks the beginning of my last year as a teenager! As of 1pm today I will officially be 19 years old. Bloody hell, I didn't even feel 18 when it was my birthday last year, how am I going to live up to the expectations of being a 19 year old? Oh well, guess I just won't

In other news, I am three weeks away from finishing my second year at uni and I've also figured out that I might be going to Canada on a student exchange in 2011!!!! I'm SO excited, can't wait to organise everything!!! I'll hopefully be going to Ontario, so if you guys know any cool bits I should look up and check, I'd love to hear about them!

I hope you're all doing fabulously, any cool news been going on?

Much love,
Ang

Hihi!

Just came back from watching The Half-Blood Prince on the big BIG screen (apparently normal cinema screens just aren't big enough anymore ). We went to a cinema called V-max, which is HUGE! The screen is like 1 1/2 times that of a normal movie screen...excessive? I think so...
But it was soooo worth it; I know everyone says is every single time a new HP movie comes out, buuuuuut this really was an awesome movie, I wouldn't say it's the best (mainly because I can't really remember the first five, haven't watched them in years), but it is reeeaaally good. I won't go into spoilers too much but the special effects were very cool, the only thing that slightly bugged me was how dark and gloomy the set colours were. Obviously this was done for a reason, primarily to set the scene as the entire plot was quite dark and gloomy (almost verging on horror, go the M rating! Wooo!) and also to act as forshadowing for the next movie, but I just like colours so that's why I missed them. But that's my own preference, the rest of the movie was wonderful. And hardly any weird made-up scenes (these particularly annoyed me in the Philosipher's Stone because a lot of them were AWFUL!) and the acting was pretty good and the comedy was really subtle in terms of the audience's perception and really relative.

So thumbs up from me!

K, I'm going to bed because it's 1:45am

G'night!

So hi again!

I had my wisdom teeth removed last Tuesday, so for the last 4 days I've been trying to take as much panadiene as I can to knock me out at night so I don't have to deal with the pain. Who knew that sitting around all day with a sore jaw could keep you up at night? Anyway, most of the pain has gone away and I've upgraded from eating Yogo (chocolate flavoured goo) to mashed potatoes and now I have next to me a bowl of Weetbix! I'm so proud of myself!
Not to mention I have to take about 5000 pills a day, some antibiotics, others penicillin etc. but nevermind, plus I got to keep my teeth! They're really gross and two of them are chipped, but I just find it funny and being an anatomy student kind of immunises you from the blood and guts, though I've never really been grossed out by them, only needles and things to do with manipulating the skin. For some reason that really gets to me, oh well .

Since I haven't been able to do anything (I've only JUST started talking again) I've been chowing through books, and loving it. I've read Evernight and Stargazer by Claudia Gray, Marley and Me by John Grogan, finished of Modoc by Ralph Helfer and Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Now I'm back onto reading Obernewtyn, though I'm only a third of the way through The Farseekers. I still have a fair way to go, not to mention the fact that I've bought Son of a Witch, which is the sequel to Wicked by Gregory Maguire, Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, I bought the third book of Obernewtyn (Ashling) and I've ordered one more by I can't remember what it's called...oh well.

I also got my results back from uni today, and I passed every single unit! Yay! Not to mention I'm REALLY looking forward to this semester, the units I'm enrolled in sound reeeeeeaaaaaaaally interesting .
Oh, and I almost forgot, today's my brother's birthday (he's 26) so we're having some family round for dinner, hopefully I'll be able to eat it, but I think mum mentioned something about pumpkin soup so that sounds promising

Kay, well that's enough from me, how're you all doing?

Cabaret (noun)- A restaurant or nightclub providing short programs of live entertainment.

It's a Sunday afternoon and I've just finished my breakfast (yes, I said breakfast ) and had a look at my deviantart page and realised that I hadn't written a journal in a while. And considering I don't have to do anything until tonight, thought I'd update you all with my...thoughts .

Well the 2 months have been a whirl of assignments and lectures, I even had two assignments due in our study week which is the week before exams, so that was fun. And then I need to go to uni again to pick up said assignments after the exam period (which is now finished) because they haven't been marked yet. But that's ok, I quite like the drive down there, especially the riverside drive; very scenic .

So as I said, the exam period has finished (thank goodness) and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Although, the first day of exams found me walking (or rather, running flat out) to the student administration because I realised I had forgotten my campus card (which proves that you're a student and you can't sit the exam unless you have uni ID). So anyway, I got them to print of some ID for me and I sat my two exams for that day. The next day I needed to actually get a real campus card, which I had to put as a debt as I'd forgotten BOTH of my eftpos cards and I didn't have enough cash. Then I realised I'd forgotten my pencil case to, so I had to run to the stationary store and buy some pens. Not a fun day haha.
Anyway, the rest of the exams went relatively smoothly, considering I had the cold (not surprising, I always get sick DURING my exams, it's so lame), but now I'm feeling a heap better .

Onto another topic, last night I finished reading Modoc by Ralph Helfer. Three words; GO READ IT!!! It's so beautiful and it really encorperates the connection that can form between animals and man, it's truly inspirational. And now today I've started reading Marley and Me (which I actually got before the movie came out, and I haven't even seent that ). And then hopefully I will go on a spending spree at the bookshop and buy some of the books on my ever-growing 'To Read' list .

So that's about all from me, finally finished uni semester and am now on four weeks holiday (I'm a tiny bit bummed, because I thought that we had 6 weeks, but nevermind ). Hope you're all doing well and are happy and healthy!

Love love.

P.S. Happy First Day of Winter!
