So life has been rather busy for me. I'm mostly working these days at Sunshine Plaza Pharmacy. Other than that I really haven't got much time or strength for anything else besides the usual driving lessons. Work has been worth while and a great experience. Diep (the pharmacist in charge) is really patient and willing to let me practise dispensing even though i'm such a hazzard to her >.<". But practise makes perfect and i've been making fewer errors lately so hopefully i keep the improvement up . I've been allowed to do heaps of different things in the pharmacy and they've all been a good learning experience. The only downside is I have to stand all day but I guess i should get use to it since i'll be spending most of my career standing up.
My 2007 new years resolution:
1. To eat more healthily and to exericise more regularly.
2. To be a better person than what i was in 2006. It's not that I'm unhappy with what i've said or done last year. Looking back, i really don't have any major regrets but i do think it's important to be the best person you can be (as cliched as it sounds). This is a pretty broad statement to make but i think small improvements can significantly change the overall picture. I will try to be more considerate to others, work harder in uni, commit to learning at work and generally be a more grounded person in my morals and beliefs. See how i go...
After spending hours cleaning and packing, I've finally packed up my entire room. Everything is all ready for mum to come and collect in a few hours. It's funny seeing everything back in their boxes- feels sort of like the first day i moved in. I will miss this room. Its served me very well this year. I'll always remember it as my first home away from home. So many memories were made in the this room. I can't believe time has flown so quickly.
Yesterday I was sitting at my desk around 2am (in bendigo) and suddenly i hear these scratchings at my window. I tried to ignore them but they just kept getting louder and louder. My initial reaction was that it must be a kangaroo trying to break my window. But i was too scared to look outside, so i decided to leave my room and run to the corridor and look through the windows there. When I looked outside there was absolutely nothing. Being supersticious, this scared the crap out of me as I concluded that it could be a ghost. I returned to my room minutes later praying that the sound would go away but it came back. This time it wasn't scratching anymore, but instead loud bangings. I finally built up enough courage to see once and for all what was causing all the noise. I pulled the curtain across and to my horror this guy's face was careasing against my window. I was speechless and within a few seconds he collapsed onto the floor. Comepletly in shock, I quickly ran to the manager's room (as she lives there) and told her to come out and check out this unconscious person. It turns out that guy was the same guy living next door to me. He had been out binge drinking and had left his keys in his room. He was knocking on my window, to tell he's girlfriend to open the door for him, as he thought it was the window to his room.
It's funny when i look back at it now, but at the time it was pretty scary.
Three exams down and only one left. It's the hardest one too. But the thought of having all that fun after exams is enough motivation to keep me on my cramming spree!
I'm currently very excited about the new year. Not necessarily the celebration (although I know it'll be a good one anyway), but just the idea of 2007 all together. I know it's a while away but '07 is going to be such a big year for me. There'll be quite a few changes to my life that I totally look forward too. Some will be personal and some won't. I'll tell you guys as they come (fingers crossed I didn't jinx things). Hopefully Christmas this year will be the start of something beautiful...
This Friday will be my last day in Bendigo for abour 3 months, except for in Jan when I'll be staying a week to go house hunting. I'll be moving all my stuff home in a few days. Then it will be fun fun fun! Or more like try to find a job lol. I've really delayed that for more than half a year now *sigh*
Catch you guys soon!

Ps: I'm absolutely in love with the lyrics of "making memories of us" by Keith Urban. If a guy sung that to me I would literally melt lol. . My other song of the moment is "you belong to me" by Jason wade. I almost forgot how awesome songs on acoustic can be!
P.s.s This is a very cute girl I stumbled across on youtube. Although I have to admit, there is something quite spooky and unnatural about her talent. Well that's my opinion anyhoo.
I started exams today. No wait, that'll be yesterday since it's 1 am now. It was about as hard as pharmacy practice could get i reckon...and as random. What the hell, one of the questions was "what does the slogan slip, slop, slap stand for". Easy question but i couldn't remember the order. With a little bit of luck, I may have passed by a few marks *fingers crossed*. Well I better cos just the thought of summer school makes me shiver.
In other boring news, I've been driving with my brother and I'm proud to say I can drive straight. That's right, don't ask me to turn or park or anything. All I can do is drive straight and I'm dam good at it lol. I'm trying to learn manuel since i figured cars are about 2k cheaper if you don't get auto. Not much of a diff, but it is when you're looking to accessorise.
Beach weather is coming up and I'm disapointed to say my body toning plans haven't exactly gone far. I don't even gym anymore. All i do is sit and study and write crappy blogs at weird hours in the morning. I considered making up for my bumminess over the holidays but then again i thought it would never work since Helen's coming back- that means alcohol is coming back too . We all know you shouldn't drink when your trying to be healthy. Well at least not the stuff we take right Helen haha. Oh well, got to make the most of it since she's rarely back. That goes for everyone actually. I'm back every week and I usually only get to see people over the holidays. Partly my fault too since I'm busy a lot of the times. But no matter, all the lost time shall be made up over the next three months.
So it's half way through the semester and my books are still in plastic wraping . Hmm, it seems old habits stick like super glue. Well i'm going to make a start and undergo "intensive studying" today. Wish me luck guys.
