Again, I have somewhat neglected this blog, I did write up a post that I was meant to post but I didn't like the photos so I decided against it. The past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic, flying to Sydney and Melbourne for the weekend, and of course my concerts; I will probably write up a separate post for those when I have time. It's coming near the end of semester and everything is catching up with me, mainly because I have been quite lazy all semester. I know there is a light, a massive one, at the end of the tunnel, which is my American trip but it is been occluded by the amount of work and exams that I have to do to get there. And I'm just taking it one step at a time, slowly because I will get too overwhelmed and feel quite weighted and down again.
Last week, I fell over while on my runs, pretty badly because I did hit my face on the ground. I managed to graze my face, palms and knees. Slowly it is healing but I still have unsightly knees which I'm hoping will heal a lot quicker because the weather is warming up and I'm getting quite sweaty. However, it has prevented me from going on runs, and I'm slowly reverted to my unhealthy habits. It was such bad timing, and also happened on Friday 13th, soo oooh freaky! I think I have lost some weight, or at the very least I feel so much more fitter and better, so I really don't want to undo all those weeks of hard work. It would be difficult to go back into that exercising routine.

My choice of wearing gumboots may look odd, because the day looked quite sunny, however it was the one hour of sun that day, so I took the opportunity to take some photos. The rest of day was heavy rain and apparently hailing, which I didn't mind because it's been so long since I've worn gumboots. Also I didn't wear my black ones, but my mint gumboots instead, because I wanted the pop and clashing of color. When I first bought this skirt at the op shop, it was a little tight so the fit wasn't that flattering, but I tried it on a couple of days ago, and the fit was so much better. Although I'm not sure if that was all in my head or not? It's real leather, and quite wrinkly from the folding, I tried to lightly iron the crinkles out but with not much luck. It's not worth taking it to the dry cleaners because I only spent $2 on the skirt, which is an absolute bargain though! Also you may have noticed something different about me, my hair is short now and I love this style. It is a bit more maintenance because obviously those waves aren't natural but it takes less than 5 minutes with the hair straightener so it's not too hard and time consuming.

There shall be a post hopefully in the next week about my weekends and concerts, and quite possibly an op shop haul because my op shops buys are growing exponentially!
