As hard as it is to follow on from a post about exciting holiday spots, I have been encouraged to make another post, mainly for Annie's amusement this time. As I couldnt think of anything i was dying to blog (or bitch) about I figured it was safe to just start with an update and see where my creative juices took me.
So the news in my land is mainly uni based (sadly). Uni life still kicks arse and we havent really got an real hard work to do yet...if you dont count physics, which by the way, i found out today i got full marks in my first test. I hope your all proud...or cursing under your breath at my dumb luck (yep be careful, dont mistake it for actual intelligence). Lets see if I can pull it off agin in a weeks time.
On the friends side of thing (as that is the most stressful part of uni, knowing NO ONE) theres been a break through with Laurence! See, I told you all I'd keep you informed. A week ago iI sat with Laurence in our physis lecture, only coz I was late and there was a spare end of row seat next to him. So when the lecture ended, as school buddy ran off to the library to do the homework she hadn't done for her elective subject, I, feelin rather abandoned, was lucky to keep conversing with Laurence for the entire walk back to our uni campus (coz physics is in a building which is in a land far far away... well own the end of frome road but its a fair trek). So Laurence and I had lunch together and spent the 3 hours we had to kill just talking and getting to know each other :) He even said how happy he was that I was his first friend, so I had him pegged totally wrongly.
However. Our new friendship caused a few issues with school buddy. I personally think she was just resentful that I got to befriend him and she could have been there with me, befriending him in the uni cafe, but she had homework to do. Plus I think deep down shes got the hots for him and thats why she was so determined to befriend him. But anyway, I thought she'd be pleased that now coz i was friends with him, she would be his friend by default beause shes by friend. Although, now I say that, I realise how bad it sounds...who wants to be someones friends by default. Anyway, so then she brought out all the stops and talked to him every opportunity she could, and he hung with us in our breaks and I personally think she scared him a lil bit (school buddy's personality is a erm aquired taste, shes lil crazy, in the good, refreshing, different from other people, will always make you laugh kinda way). But Laurence, from what I can figure, is a very reserved person and he' quite negative which school buddy hates, but me being synical, we get along quite well.
Anyway the point im trying to make is that we're friends now, and school bud is still trying really hard to make sure he stays our friend, to the point I thinks shes scaring him. And I do have evidence to support my acusation that shes scaring the poor boy: he's always way way quieter when hes with me and school bud compared to when hes just talking to me in our tutes and pracs. Though that could be because school bud has that particular brand of crazy where she talks non stop and your lucky to get a word in. Or perhaps as one of my other insightful friends so simply put it "maybe he just digs you more". Let's hope him 'digging' me doesnt mean hes got a thing for me, or this could get very very interesting.
In other news, may I just say how much it sucks to be going to uni in the city with the mall just a short walk away. Most people would be thrilled to be surounded by shops and cafes and restaurants and clubs and pubs but its incredibly bad for the bank balance. And with all the breaks we have, its oh so tempting just to wander into the mall and go shopping or get lunch and I seriously cant afford that temptation. I dont work so I actually dont have the money to be able to do this! Grrr I bet now all the people who I told I was glad to be unemployed are now laughing in my face. Whatever. They can laugh it up, at least I have my entire weekends to myself and can go out til all hours of the night and get pissed without worrying about getting up early or having a hang over at work. Yeah thats right, whos laughing now.
Now that I've complained about how bad and tempting the malls is, I can start boasting about my the killer shopping I did today :D Ok truth of the matter is I only baught three things which totalled $11.60 but if you count the fact that lunch costs me 5 bucks a day, you will realise that Im indeed becoming more broke than I was to start with at the start of the uni week. Anyway, back to my awesome shopping story. I get a phone call from my older sister (whos doing her 4th and final year of uni, at the same uni as me doing pharmacy for those of you who care) and she tells me shes at tarjay (also known as target for all you normal people) and theyre got riduculously cheap shoes and other bits and pieces. So she baught me a pair of white heals for 12 bucks (which was strangely nice of her because she rarely does nice things for me but I'm certainly not complaining lol best bet is she'll use it against me next time she wants something).
Then when she had to run off back to uni lectures, I stayed and meandered around the massive store and then between messages being sent to Annie (hehe) I came across a beautiful stand full of drastically reduced jewelry. Now, don't think theres anything wrong with target products when theyre going out cheap... new seasons and new fashion means theyre aways clearing out the old stuff to make way for the new... and to make room for the new stella macartney range which takes up half of the entire clothing floor.
So I was in heaven poring my eyes over all the pieces of jewlry, I found a nice neckalce and a fat chunky woodenbracelt which I baught. Then I came across my find. A gold necklace covered in all sorts of lil trinkets with blue and purple crystal icicles and white gems thingies and gold lil hearts and things all over it, it was true beauty. However.... it as just shrewn across the top of the rack with a broken clasp, no tag on it and it was the only one I could find. So I pondered over what to do. Take it to someone who worked there only for them to tell me it wasnt mean to be on the rack and that it really cost about $20. OR my more appealing option, solve the problem myself. It had no price tag so give it one! Okay okay i know thats sorta illegal or whatever but honestly, it had a broken clasp :P So I had three price range tags to choose from, $1.88, $4. 80 or $9.90. So I figured 1 buck was probably a lil low and would be too sus, and there was no way in hell I was paying 10 bucks for it, it was beautiful and all but I'm a poor unemployed uni student.
So i went for the $4 tag and craftily attached it. Then when I made my way to the checkout I was on the look out for a guy cashier because he'd be clueless about jewlry and wouldnt know what it was worth but sadly there were only female check out chicks so i opted for the dark skinned african girl who looked really shy as oppossed to the preppy up themself check out chickadees who may have questioned whether I was 'sure' that necklace was on sale. (see just how evil and manipulative I am)

Anyway, I paid and was walking out with a sense of satisfaction with a well pulled off flog, when the security thingies lining the exit of the check out started beeping as I was almost at the door. My swear my heart skipped a beat but then I realised, how could I be beeping when all I did was GIVE something a tag, not STEAL something that had a tag that I didnt pay for. Then i turned around and a woman behind me was the one beeping coz the dumb preppy check out chick had forgotten to remove the security tag on an item of cloting. A wave of relief washed over me and my sly smile once again returned to my face as I headed back to uni.
Well it turned out that I had a lot of stories to tell and so my post was not a totaly flop as I originally thought it would be.
Til we meet again...
