Goodbye Semester One

Can you believe today was the last day of uni for the semester? What on earthhh, how did the months pass by so quickly, its almost June for crying out loud!! Which also means I'm almost half way through my undergrad course..mind blown.

How cold was it today! The rain and the wind didn't make it any better. I think I do prefer cold whether over sweltering heat though. There's nothing better than cuddling up inside all warm and snug when you can hear the rain and wind lashing the windows. You can't ever feel cosy in summer, even if you're in an airconned room, it's just never the same.

Here was the state of the weather around 12.30pm, this is nothing compared to the afternoon. Terribly taken video I know, bear with me, my hands were blocks of ice. I think I want to take more videos in the future, if I don't feel too awkward filming in public. I don't even mean videos of myself, vlogs might happen one day or never, I dislike my voice to the highest degree.


I'm not one to gloat but we got the results of our second mid sem for MCB yesterday. And wow was a surprised. I got the exact same mark as I did in the first test. What are the chances?! Especially when I breezed through the first one (it was similar to the practise one) while the second one required a lot of mulling over each question and being very unsure of many of the questions.

But hey, I guess the 200+ (single sided) pages of notes I wrote paid off? Haa. My wrist screamed with pain after that week, no other way to describe it.

So now we have entered the time period known as SWOT Vac (Students without teachers...vacation?). Please tell me that's what the acronym stands for otherwise I've been making a fool of myself by telling everyone that.

Another thing to quickly point out, um I've been getting around 20 unique page views a day. Who are you mystery blog readers! Are you the same ones every day hoping I update my blog or are new people somehow stumbling across my chaotically written posts?



If you follow me on tumblr you would have already seen this. How awesome is this cat? A scottish fold if I'm not mistaken. All credits to the original owner, if only I could find out whose cat this is! So damn cute.

Study begins tonight. Not going to lie. I haven't been out on a Friday evening for months. Lack of social life, yes? Do I care, not so much. As long as I get to see Daniel my sanity will be kept in check.

Love Lisa.

The Avengers & Updates

Firstly, the happy news, I saw the Avengers with Daniel (well he's already seen it) last night at Century City Walk. I bought the tickets online and printed them off. The instructions clearly told me that I had to present them at the box office and sign the receipt etc. So to my annoyance when we arrived there was a massive queue. Eventually found out we just use the print off as our tickets, Daniel was pretty smug about that to say the least -3- Then we had some late night maccas nomnomnom (goodbye trying to eat healthy) and then I had head home since I had uni this morning.
 
Bear with me for a moment, I just need to reiterate how lucky I am to have Daniel. The past half year has been incredibly tumultuous for me. I'm not even sure exactly why since there was no particular thing/event that sparked it. Rather the accumulation of everything started bearing down on me mentally. Which led me to lash out at anyone and everyone. But at the end of the day, he's there with me, holding me and never letting go. And that's what brings me back.

Other updates:
I lost my student ID card, had it replaced today for..oh..ONLY $30!! As you can tell I'm very very frustrated by that since I never use my student ID, yet somehow it disappeared from my wallet never to be seen again. And since I learnt from when I 'lost' my debit card, I did thoroughly check through my wallet, bag and room. But alas, to no avail.

What else, had another mid sem for MCB last week. It was really quite hard but I think I did alright :S *knocks on wood*. Cannot believe exams are in less than 2 weeks, what the heck...half a year has passed me by.

Oh and GAMSAT results were released the other day. I did much better than I thought I'd do but obviously not that good compared to the smart cookies in my course. But hey, I'm not going to give it much more thought since I don't technically need it for anything.

I'm just going to go ahead and say that I probably won't be posting much if at all until exams are over.

Hope you have all been well,
Love Lisa.

I'm Getting Bad At This

Dear Readers,

I really do apologise that it seems as if I've almost abandoned my blog. I haven't. I promise.
Somehow I have 4 or so half written posts that I just don't have the motivation to ever complete (to my standards) and actually go about posting.

Life's just been getting me down lately. It's like every time things seem to be looking up, some has to go and ruin it. Yes, yes I know I don't have to let things ruin my day but when all the little things add up it just becomes inexplicably overwhelming. If I were to bring in a proverb here, I'm definitely experiencing a 'the straw that broke the camel's back' period in my life.
 
In addition to this, perhaps it's just because of my mood, or maybe I am actually physically exhausted/unfit (most definitely true), I just feel listless and lethargic 90% of the time. This includes a recent birthday I attended, where somehow I found myself half asleep on the couch using my coat as a blanket as other people are having animated conversations/dancing. Obviously I'm the life of the party these days -__-

I still haven't made a post about all the items I've recently bought, but I left my flash diffuser in my friend Tracey's car a week ago and now she is on placement (she's studying med) for 2 weeks so after that I'll take proper photos. Mhmm, I've become some snob with lighting. The pop-up flash is a no-go for blog photos and even using the external flash without a diffuser makes me cringe.

This post is way too negative. There has been very exciting news too, my lovely boyfriend bought me an Nintendo 3DS!! Am I spoilt or am I spoilt? Heh, :3

Love Lisa.
