Final 05 Post

Hey "Simply Me" blog fanatics! *waves* Well it's been a while since my last update - I've been either uber lazy or uber busy. I shall give you a short briefing of my life so far...

Unfortunately I did NOT get 98.45 for Veterinary Science which brought me to tears and despair for quite some time. My plan now? Advanced Science (96.40) at Sydney Uni and transferring or doing post grad (hopefully the former). Thus my future at the moment is not very secure and is hanging on many 'ifs'. Let's hope that things turn out for the better!

Fortunately though, I have recently found a job (after many many months of searching/calling/faxing/emailing/walking around shops like a desperate unemployed bum) and now work at Carlingford Animal Hospital. Originally my job was just 'packing jobs' which involved packaging vitamins/formulas/bird seed/etc. into smaller packets, weighing them, labelling them, sealing them, or 'jarring' them. However, I've been given the privilege of doing things "upstairs" work like helping with the postage, doing orders, writing out receipts, answering phone calls, putting in/searching details on the computer system, filing, and wait for it...helping with surgery!! :D Haha I feel like a medican intern in a hospital maha (I am WAY too obsessed with Grey's Anatomy!) So far I've taken part in 2 surgeries - both cats. The first cat, I was required to help hold the cat (it was under anaesthesia) whilst another girl helped shaved its fur off in preparation to surgery. Then I had to help cut the ends of the 'string' for the stitches - how exciting!!! The second cat involved holding the cat down once again for shaving, and also monitoring its breathing that was showing up on a machine. Anyway, next year I may be 'promoted' to becoming a Vet Nurse there cos they need more staff on Saturdays especially, which will involve all that I am doing now + more, for example injecting the animals to "konk" them out, and more nitty gritty stuff. How excitement!

Not much else has been happening to me that I would want to tell you or that you would want to know. I'm quite happy with where I am. Shopping was great this week - you know with all the SALES SALES SALES and 50% OFF EVERYTHING!~ Hoorah! Discount galore!!! I hart my shopping :)

Merry Christmas everyone (late) and Happy New Year. Don't drink too much and remember to party party party!! *hugz to all* Bye!!!! Yay 2005 is OVER!

Doomsday

That's right folks, doomsday is approaching..or has approached...or is in progress - you choose. As probably everyone in the whole friggin universe knows (I exaggerate, do not come to me and tell me not the whole universe knows, cause believe it or not, I am aware of that) the-thing-that-shall-not-be-named marks came out today smack bang in our face. They were either pleasing, or disappointing. Mine, let's just say weren't 'that' exciting, but I won't speak of it any more for you shall all get too nosy and claw each other to know the hot juicy details.

And then there's tomorrow, yet another day of disappointment or happiness - depending on how well you have absorbed information into your brain throughout the year 2005, how well and often you have revised in order to absorb information into that brain throughout the year 2005, or how well you have bullshit throughout the year of 2005.

Yes, I am a bit delirious tonight. Yes, I am tossing out a substantial amount of sarcasm. Yes, ...I have nothing more to say.

Oh wait, yes I do.
Merry Christmas...
not yet...
but it will be.
Hooray.

Fun fun and more fun

.:UPDATED:. My schoolies pics are up! Ask me personally for the password :)

Hey people who read my blog! :) *waves*
Well, today is my last day of being...I dunno what you call it...NOT an adult? Haha. That's right! In less than 9 hours I shall be an ADULT! Dun-DuN-DUN! *gasp* 'Emily? An ADULT? That's ABSURD!' I hear you say. Well tough luck because I will be able to legally drink, legally go into clubs....and...a few other legal things. Mwahaha!

I would like to say post-HSC life is G-R-E-A-T! There's no waking up early mornings and doing everything super quick and rushed, no obligation or guilty feelings about bumming around doing absolutely nothing that is practical, etc etc. I LOVE IT! Maha!

Hmm...at the moment the sky is very strange. It was blue and fine and cloudless, until a big ugly grey cloud came looming over us all sending out its calls of rage. Now I look out of my bedroom window and I see this uber fat cloud and next to it, pure blue sky. Go away cloud!!! Shoo!

Anyway...sorry for that tangent. As I was saying, life is great. I came back from Melbourne on Sunday and it was just an awesome experience and a whole load of Fun with a capital F! I hart Melbourne in so many ways haha :P It's so much more tourist friendly and slower and cleaner and...nice! I'll give you all an attempted quick recap of schoolies:

Wednesday: Got there early in the morning, all of us tired as hell. We dumped our bags at the apartment (check in time was 2pm) and went shopping with Jess' Aunt. I bought like...$90 worth of stuff EEP! We simply explored the city and adapted to our surroundings. At night we were so tired that we decided to get take away and eat in, followed by many card games and a bit of drinking. Me feeling a bit sick and facing heatstroke stayed away from the alcohol and slept early.

Thursday: Woke up at 9:30ish. Lesley, Smock, Ru made yummy breakfast consisting of toast, scrambled eggs, bacon and pancakes. We went to the Queen Victoria Markets, and then to Richmond for some factory outlet shopping. Then at night everyone exc. me (feeling a bit ill) went to Lygon street in search for a nice Italian restaurant.

Friday: Had a complementary breakfast downstairs at the hotel restaurant. Our day was spent at St. Kilda, first at the beach and then walking along...some road that I keep forgetting which has multiple cake stores = YUM! At night they took me back to Lygon st. and we had an Italian dinner. Afterwards, we went to Koko Black which is like Max Brennan's here. We caught this city tour kind of old fashioned car back home with this old grumpy man driving it hehe. Ru, Smock, Kirsten, Jenny, Stef, and Mel went clubbing.

Saturday:Sonki, Ru, and I went back to St. Kilda so that Sonki could reconsider buying this bag lol. In the end we didn't get it, but went to Jay jays and bought 3 items each (me and Sonki) haha I'm such a shopaholic!! We then met up with the rest who went to art galleries and watched the Lebanese festival, and went back to the apartment to prepare ourselves for the last night in Melb. We went to Brunswick (spelling?) street in Fitzroy and found a funky Afghan restaurant. It was packed so we had to wait 1/2 hour to get a spot, so we entertained ourselves by exploring this crazy interesting store across the road called "Polyester books - totally weird shit" which had tonnes of interesting reading material minus the excessive amount of porn/adult/x-rated material in there as well. There was a section where Freelance artists printed off their works to sell such as comics, poetry, stories, etc. Anyway, back to the restaurant...it was awesome! The seats were all 'rugged' and were kind of down on the floor and the table was long and short. We got our own private room upstairs which was really good since we were able to be as idiotic and drunk as we like much to Ruvani's dismay. The walls in our room were either filled with paintings, patterned rugs, or antique displays of some sort. It was magical! Anyway, we went back to the hotel - Ru nearly got hit by a car..twice...for the second time....that I know of.... and began packing and filming absolute crap cause we were so pissed (without any alcohol). Haha Ru noted that when we're on a high, we actually act like drunk lunatics...I wonder what we'll be like if we literally became drunk...hmmm disturbing thought!

Alors, I got 15 mins sleep...which didn't do me any favours. I felt like a log getting on that plane. We went to Melbourne with 7, and left with 5 haha no don't worry it's not like we left anyone behind! Smock stayed with Kirsten and Jenny (she left us on Thursday *sob*) and Ruvani stayed back and met up with her cousin and father later. Yay we got back to Sydney safely and boy does the weather here SUCK! Our travel to Melbourne was extremely lucky weather wise since it was suppose to rain and storm, but fortunately it was happy and sunny for the whole trip - and still is at this very moment I think!

The next few days are packed full of organisation, events, and more. I want to can't wait to turn 18 but I'm not so excited yet. I want it to kick in, but there's so much on my mind right now which is stopping me from letting it sink in. Oh well, hope it happens soon!
