The Party Scene

I have been feeling very lazy and sleepy these past couple of days. All i want to do is lie in bed and watch friends, actually thats what i did regardless. The first week of holidays have been very relaxing and so fun, and such a great starting note to start the rest of the holidays. But now i can't believe its already been a week and there's only four more. Holidays, please go by slowly, i have a lot of things that need to be done.

So on wednesday, i went shopping with my monash pharm group which turned out to be way more fun than expected. I thought it was random to go shopping but nonetheless i was up for it because i haven't been shopping in ages. the day began at southern cross where we met and made our way to harbour town, which meant one thing for me DIPPIN' DOTS! I have never been to harbour town so it was exciting for me. We got there a little early to we had to wait around for the shops to open, we looked very eager. Most of us were just generally browsing and wondering into every store and having a look the sales. I'd forgotten how much fun it can be to be around the monash group and it was so comfortable. Thinking back i just want to give them a big group hug. Also i have to learn to talk without laughing because no one understands what i'm trying to say when i'm high pitch squealing/laughing. And And i got my dippin dots, it was so so nice, i wish i could buy them at the supermarkets. So we got back to southern cross and met up with some other people, because there was some organisation with the ski trip that needed to be done (which i'm not going). While we were waiting, we talked about wanting to go overseas(mainly me because i have never been) and how we should totally plan a trip for next year in june. I suggested we go to Europe but i think others were leaning towards America, which i was all in for, which would also mean i could possibly go to US twice in a year, and i don't think my parents would let me go twice. And M, is that breaking our pact if i end up going to US first? I don't know how much truth goes into these holiday plans but i like to think that it will come true. I was trying to come up with a cover if i was in America, my friends suggested that when my parents called to say that i'm in an American museum in Europe =P It would be amazing to get to go twice, but it also means a lot of money. I'm so desperate to go overseas, i will go tomorrow if someone asked me. So after the ski trip was organised, we were off to dfo south wharf, which i think we got a little tired by that time. I think we were more shopping for the guys, which i didn't mind, sometimes i get so bored and tired of women stores. I think the day was more for hanging out with friends, rather than shopping. At least some of us bought something so it wasn't all for nothing. So yeah, very fun day and i hope there are many more to come in the next couple of weeks.

i was so excited for thursday, Sh and S were coming up to bendigo to stay the night, i have been looking forward to this for ages. so we caught the train together in the morning, but i was running late for the train and didn't have enough time to buy a ticket so i ran on the train. I was so close to getting a fine because you can't buy tickets on the train if you get on at a staffed station but luckily the inspector was nice and let me off, that saved me $176 so i was happy. we got to bendigo and caught a bus to my house to settle our stuff down. We were all really hungry because i told everyone to save room for the pizza hut 'all you can eat' which i was looking forward to. So when we got to pizza hut, we were shattered that the buffet ended at 2pm and it was 2.40. We decided to come back for dinner which was going to be in 3 hours. To pass the time we walked around town and went for a bit of exploring. I was surprised at the amount of walking we had done, it was hours of walking i reckon. We even walked back to the pizza hut for the buffet. The buffet was not too bad, i felt like we had to eat more because the dinner buffet was more expensive. I ate so much, the food was carb loaded as well. We spent over an hour in the restaurant, which was very long because people had came in after us and left before we did. As it was late, and the buses had stopped running, we were contemplating whether to catch a taxi back home or not, but we decided to walk back to digest the food that we just ate. We stopped by safeway to buy some things and then made our way home. On the way we saw a trolley and decided to take on. Walking with the trolley proved to be entertaining and resulted in plentiful of laughter. Pushing the trolley along the roads made so much noise and just to be safe we abandoned the trolley halfway. Hopefully it doesn't get traced back to us. Walking at night was so fun, and we tried to identify some stars but all we got was the Southern Cross and Orion. We finally arrived home and bummed around in Y's room. Y and Sh did a bit "Yoga" which made me and S giggle and laugh. Then we tried to move Y's mattress to my room, and we kept bumping it into the doorway, which just made us laugh. We watched Sucker Punch, which i thought was okay but wasn't quite unsatisfying. But the movie did make us talk about it and try to understand what the director was trying to portray. After the movie, we ate some burritoes but we were still full from the dinner but i made everyone eat it because i didn't want the food to rot in the fridge. I think we were all pretty tired from the walking and lack of sleeping, so we barely made it into a movie, when we decided to go to sleep. Also we had to wake up early the next day so that we could get back into melbourne in time. So i found out that S was going on exchange to London for a whole semester and i was so excited for her, and and she invited me to visit her in december which made me uber excited, it means i might actually get to go overseas this year and i didn't even need to find a travel buddy. hopefully i do end up going, but also might risk getting fired because i will be leaving at a very crucial time, and basically the only time that i usually work but i think it will be worth it. I'm deciding whether to find another job or not anyways, and this can be an excuse to quit. But yeah, so the next morning, we had up and go for breakfast and Y walked us to the bus stop, she was getting picked up by her dad. We saw some kangeroos in the uni so that kinda made their day. i was scared we were going to miss the train because the bus was running late, but luckily we got the station in time. Unfortunately i still had the big stash of junk food i bought for the sleepover, we ate some stuff on the train but i still have some leftover, so much for going on a diet on the holidays. I wish we could of stayed longer and hung out, but at least i got to see them and catch up which was good. Being in bendigo sometimes makes me feel isolated from my melbourne friends, it takes away that freedom of getting to see them occasionally or dropping by their uni

That was basically the highlights of my first week of holidays, and i'll apologize again if i was too lengthy/wordy/rambling.

Love Squealer.
