The Singing Bird

Famous On the Internet

Oh yeah. In happier times, I contributed to the curry review this weekend. After my curry, my number came up so I also had to do a quadruple chili shot. If you combine that with my sextuple from a few months ago… only the eponymous Chow himself has done more shots! HxC.

Stupid Uni!!!

Worrrrrst freaking mood today omg.

Woke up cranky. Went to work cranky. Ate too many biscuits to try to get less cranky. Sent cranky emails. Crankily broke my $10 sunglasses. Came home cranky. Had a cranky chat with Tim.

Now will crankily write a major assignment in one night :( And then another one tomorrow night.

LAME.

Edit: Cheering self up by window-shopping for new sunnies instead of doing homework. I would like these. They cost $940 more than my previous sunnies?

Today Was 32 Degrees

Beach!

Stuff that Sucks

- Car alarms
- The 30 seconds of silent tension between when the car alarm stops and when it STARTS AGAIN all day aaaaaaaarg
- Car alarms that keep going off when you are doing assignments
- ASSIGNMENTS

MY HEAD HURTS.

The paper bag I got my antibiotics in says Have a Healthy Day. I think this is sweet!

Daaaamn.

Anyway, today Josh came over and literally sat next to me going “100 more reps words, okay now 100 more, look you’re nearly done!” until I finished an entire assignment! And then he made me start the next one. So now, I only have 4.5 more to finish in the next week!

Well “only”. But still it was good.

I Took a Sick Day, Cos I’m Learning!!

Hm so last week I had tonsillitis. I took antibiotics, it went away in time for the long weekend.

The long weekend was Good and I was not Sick.

Then I started feeling bleh again when I got home last night.

…MY TONSILLITIS IS BACK.

WHAT THE HELL, THROAT.

Third time being sick in six weeks :(

I think these are some fairly clear orders from my immune system to stop messing it around!

Which is fair enough, because I have been stressing out a lot and sleeping little.

But dear immune system: I will stop messing you around when all my ten (10) assignments are done… making me sick doesn’t get them done faster, stupid!!

Shauny did this meme: What is something you’d love to say to your younger selves of 2, 5, 10 and 15 years ago? I did not get tagged, but I am doing it anyway!

Take a deep breath; it’s okay if you’re not at the top of the spelling ladder. Don’t spend so much time making your homework colourful, you over-achieving suck-up.

Actually, messing around with Beth in S&E (and Religion, and English) is a perfectly worthwhile way to spend your time; it’ll be years before you’re this happy again. Just stop being so damned idealistic and try writing something gritty once in a while. Also: size 12 is not fat.

Retreating into self-destruction is not going to solve any of your problems. Stop waiting for someone else to step in and fix things for you. Don’t just stick it out. Listen to some My Chemical Romance, get brave enough to figure out what’s wrong with your life, grab a bunch of platitudes if that’s what it takes, love yourself, forgive yourself, remember that Rome wasn’t built in a day and stop generalising your minor failures, and believe that you can pull it together. And transfer out of Law!!

Don’t take your white sneakers to Uluru, they will never not be orange again. Learn to turn down boys more clearly. Eat more frozen peas and drink less fruit juice. Never take temp work. Keep your chin up!

I had tonsillitis this week. Woo \o/
