schoolies, uni, and other stuff :)

Woah this might turn into a superduper long post, so I'll probably have to split it. See how it goes :D

SCHOOLIES!

Rye was absolutely freaking amazing. I miss being there! Thanks so much to Soph and her parents for letting us run wild in their beach house and providing food hehe <3

The weather was less than desirable for a beach trip, but we had tonnes of fun all the same. Nights playing Truth or Dare (which turned into just Truth), "I Never", and just taking shots for the heck of it- these are times I won't forget.

So beautiful (photo stolen off Soph cos I didn't bring a camera)

Me and Viv

Me and Lisa (love the colours in this one)
 

Uh, drunken artwork :)

Love you guys <3

** Revisiting this old post because I never finished it, & an update is now well overdue **

Thinking back to schoolies makes me feel sad and sentimental :( Only time will tell how many of my high school friends I'll keep in touch with years from now..

Uni.. I don't feel much like talking about it now because preferences have been lodged/confirmed already. First-round offers won't come out for about a month and I'm taking full advantage of that month by not thinking about it at all, because I don't have to :)

The future both scares me and excites me. I'm so curious and excited for uni life and the time where I get to settle down and start a family. It's a journey where the possibilities inspire me, but the uncertainty of where life will take me is what scares me.

Sometimes the hardest thing is knowing when to take control and when to go with the flow.

When I was in Year 9 (about 14 years old) we canoed something like 70km down the Murray river on camp over 5 days, and one night we were urged to take some time out to ponder the following statement: "Life is like a river"

If life is like a river, do you trust where it will take you if you just let go? Or are you supposed to struggle and fight the natural flow? It's so tiring trying to fight it, and lately I've been wondering about all the things I would never discover if I were persistent in not going with the flow. You could say it's directionless, but then I would say you're narrowminded for only considering one fate for your life.

But it's a retaliation and it's only because sometimes I feel like you're right. They say it's okay to take your time in finding your direction, but I worry that I won't ever find mine. When I imagine my future, it's always with a family of my own- because I know that at the end of the day, that's going to be the most important thing to me. But what about everything else? What happens between now and then?

I wish life had a pause button because time keeps moving faster, and I'm not seeing any progress. 

BIRTHDAYS AND JAMIE FOXX BEING THE SEX.

HOLY COW! I haven't posted since the 23rd which is almost 2 weeks ago! Oh man, let me think about all the crazy fun stuff I've been up to lately..

Oh wow, I've really forgotten .. But I'll do my best :)

Went to Nat's 18th on the 26th (Friday) which was pretty fun cos I hadn't seen her and a few others for sooo long. It was nice to catch up though, even though the alcohol-free-ness meant I was too shy to dance LOL. Anyway, I came home with an insane number of mozzie bites even though I was wearing stockings >=[ but thankfully they have stopped itching now :D

On the 27th (Saturday) I went to Chadstone with Viv and Lisa in the morning to attend to some business *cough* hahah enough said.
That day (coincidentally) was Erika's 18th so we went to her house to eat oishii Japanese food (but mostly cheezels). Now that I think back to it, I don't remember what we did that night, but it was nice hanging out anyway :) at the end of the night I was abandoned by my parents because for some reason they have epic problems trying to find Erika's house, so she told me about her upcoming Japan trip and made me super jealous T__T

On the 30th (Tuesday) I went out with Viv and Sam to have lunch at Glenny because Sam was leaving for Japan (with Erika and stuff) on Wednesday. But Glenny got boring and we ended up heading to the city to watch "Due Date" at MC with Victor. The movie was funny, but not hilarious =P oh but I was very pleasantly surprised to see Jamie Foxx in it <3

I see Jamie Foxx in a completely different light after listening to him singing. Holy friggin crap man, this is the sexiest version of  "Brady Bunch" you will ever hear in your lifetime LOL omgosh I'm melting just listening to it now :) Oh yeah and apart from being sexy, Jamie Foxx is so amazing for being able to sing like Babyface/Luther Vandross/Prince AND to do it live. Oh my gosh, so amazing, you dont understand how much respect I have for him *swooons

Oops, I got a little distracted there, so I'll just quickly recap from then til now; went out with Nat  for a shopping/catchup/goss sesh at Chaddy on Thursday, and Fridays (last night) we had a small Christmas party with my mum's church group. There was nobody my age, but there was a little girl (1 or 2 years old) so I looked after her :) She was soo cute, but made me realise what a handful children can be haha.. anyway her name is Nevaeh (which is 'heaven' spelt backwards, and I think that's just the cutest thing ever) and she's a beautiful little islander baby with big round eyes and superlong eyelashes!

*Stops talking about babies* zz this post is too long, so I'll save the main reason for this blog (which I haven't even mentioned yet- but it's boy-related =P) for another time .. maybe. ;)

THE END.
P.s. I'm heading off the Rye on Monday with 8 other girls, and we'll be there for about week :) so exciteddd!
