Saturday Night Stories

It isn't a good idea to nap from 6-11 p.m. .. you're just going to be up all night. Case in point: Me.

Well, today was the 1st of my 2 Saturdays for my political campaign class! We did REALLY well! Such a long day though. Listening to 15 candidates' 6 minute launch speeches and THEN 15 teams' advertising pitches. Omg. I got up at 6 a.m., had brekky with Alysha at Zarraffa's (really big coffee shop franchise in Australia and New Zealand.. it's so good!) and then got to school around 8 a.m.

We didn't get out until 4:30 p.m. Man, I was just buggered! Anyway, I did my launch speech and afterwards almost all the other candidates came up to me and said how well- written and spoken my speech was! I was so happy! So nice of them to tell me that! 80% on the speech, which is fantastic considering the marks I heard other teams received.

Then in the afternoon we had our ad pitch. Not as well done as the speech as we had some technical difficulties. Oh well! So hapy we did so well! To celebrate, I went home, ate and took a nap. I'm a CRAZY party girl! hahaha! Whatever, having a Saturday night all to myself is nice. Jess is in Brisbane partying with some people from Canada she went to school with. I'm all alone in Kinkabool! .. I seriously love the name of my building so much, it's hilarious!

What else is new! OMFG.. Now that I have Fridays off, I went to ladies night on Thursday with Jess, Kara, Francis and her 2 roommates Stacey and Katrina. Thursday here are also late-night shopping days as all the shops are open until 9 p.m. rather than the regular 5:30 p.m. .. weird, I know! So we all went to this bar called the Bedroom. When you get there, you don't pay cover and all the ladies get a wristband. With that wristband you get free drinks all night. No, you're not reading that wrong.. free.drinks.all.night.. HELLO!

Needless to say, we went to town. I'll get pictures up later. I won't post the ones of the topless male models covered in edible chocolate or the male strippers. I felt like I was at a bachelorette party for crying out loud! Great night with the girls.

I need to go on another roadtrip/daytrip soon! I just feel like I haven't done anything like that lately. It's hard when you've got school and you have to plan it with other people. I'm going to plan my trip to Brisbane with my coffee date boyfriend, Michael, soon. I miss him. I read on facebook he got a Macbook Pro.. YES, Mac's are taking over!!!

I bought headphones from Kmart. I like them. My bedside lamp broke. I hate that. I forgot to pay rent today. I'll do it Monday.

I feel like Oprah. I can't stop eating. When I'm bored, hungry, happy, bored, tired, sad.. you know. I've got to stop. At least I'm eating good stuff, like Sultana Bran. Yes, Raisin Bran is called Sultana here.. UGH. I MISS CANADA AND MY UPBRINGINGS.. lol

Okay, that's all for now. xox
