The week thats been

Heyoo! Wow, 3rd blog to be posted in a week!! There is just so much to say. So I will begin with Monday...

Monday

From my previous blog about my birthday weekend you will know that I had to write a speech for Monday morning? I finished and printed out my speech at 1am and then fell asleep. Before I did that though I set my alarm clocks, plural! My phone was switched to loud and the one on the other side of my bed was turned on. Next thing I know i'm being woken up to a knock on my door and Phyllis saying "Sam hon, its 10 after 7. Are you up?" All you hear me say is "fuucccccckkkkkkkk!" very low and quietly. Roll out of bed, grab a pair of jeans and a top, brush my hair, wash my face and brush my teeth, grab my psych book, bag, car keys, a poptart, and a coke before leaving the house 10min later!! Good timing right? I get into class 5min before it starts and I am soo thankful I live so close. I had a Psych test this morning which was why I could not miss class. I left straight after it finished and made my way home because even though I had finished my speech I still had to create my powerpoint for it, plus get changed into something professional looking. I skipped math and was happy with the overall result of my powerpoint and what I looked like. Got to Public speaking on time and signed up to be 3rd to present. I honestly did not care about this speech. At the end of class I found out what I scored..... 68/68. 100% baby!!! To say I was shocked was a major understatement!!

Tuesday

I just had math today and nothing exciting actually happened so moving on to....

Wednesday

A lot happened on this lovely Wednesday :)

I woke up on time today! Good start right?! Haha. So some background information about what went down after Psychology is going to be needed.

There is this guy Zack who sits in the table straight across from me and we always have random conversations before class starts and everything and sometimes I catch him looking at me and vice versa.

Today I had decided to get his number. I don't know how I was going to accomplish this but I knew I was going to get his number. By chance we walked out together cos I was saying something about this picture on the video, anyway he went the same way I normally go. We exit the building and he turns to go one way and i'm like "hey, so whats your number?" I think he was a little shocked I just asked but he put it in my phone and had to double check he got it right because his number is one off from his mums number. Zack did say that I would probably like talking to his mum anyway, haha. I texted him not long after and was like "Hey it's Sam, I really hope this isn't your mums number!" He didn't take long to text back and then we just started talking. While I was in Math he asked if I wanted to go out for lunch. Of course I said yes but said I didn't have my wallet or my car. Being who he is he said he would love to drive and pay. I said well you can pay today and i'll pay another day, he replied lets just call this a date so I can pay. How could I argue with that?! He took me to In 'n' Out because I felt like burgers. We were there for almost an hour and a half just talking!!

During work I texted him and asked if he wanted to go see Nightmare On Elm Street with me, Katy and a whole group of people, he said yes of course haha.

Thursday

Class, clean, work, movie. That was pretty much my day! Zack picked me up after I finished work, which I don't know why. We weren't going anywhere!! All I had to do was walk across the carpark to the movie theatre. But that is the kinda guy Zack is, a gentleman. Bitch bought my ticket to see the movie too! I was already about to ask for 2 tickets but he moved me out of the way and paid for them. He held me through the entire movie and I seriously almost fell asleep 5 times. He was that comfortable and I was that tired! The movie was good, scary at times but I never saw the original so I can't compare.

Friday

I had my Geology exam #3 today, almost fell asleep during the review as well! The exam was hard!! For our Geology Lab we had a field trip to the North Phoenix Park, such fun! But it was a nice day to be outside :) I was walking with Sean and Jeremy and those too are sooo funny and cute I might add :P I hung out with Kelsey for 2 hours then was driving around before suggesting going to a park to meet up with Zack. Me and Zack hung out at the park for almost 2 hours just talking. It was fun!

What made my Friday even better was that Odette, the Marshalls manager, had called because she needed Dushanka in the morning for open and not me so she switched our shifts! This was good cos it meant I did not have to wake up at 6 to be ready for work by 7. I now don't work until 5pm.

Saturday (today)

Slept in until about 11 :) Have been writing this for awhile now and it's about to be posted! Next on my list is to write my Psych research paper.

New Year, New You

Welcome to my first blog posting for the new year!! Are you as excited as I am? And no I don't mean about this blogpost, I mean that we have started a brand new year?

Have you made any new years resolutions?

I have. Wanna hear them? Ha ha well if you insist :)

- Try and A's in all my classes

- Get a job

- Become better at emailing my mum

- Eat healthier (Isn't this like the standard one?)

- Find a boyfriend :) Hehehe

Well, thats mine - feel like sharing one of yours?

So, how was everyones New Years eve? Mine was a fantastically fun night :)

Although before i get to the party part I should mention that I hung out with Kelsey during the afternoon. We went over to Desert Ridge to get job applications :) I manged to get 7 while also buying a cute cardigan from Wet Seal which i wore all night.

Katy picked me up a little before 7 and we headed over to Target to get cups for beer pong (BP) and then to McDonald's for some food. When we got to Bryan's house, he lives in Glendale with

his parents, he wasn't there! Bryan went with Jesse to Walmart to get tables to play BP on. Silly buggers, but glad they went so we could play.

Overall the night was fun! The boys bought too much beer so we had to have a second party on Friday night. I didn't get trashed :) Only had a double shot of Malibu and around 3-4 beers. I even got the spare room for the duration of my

stay there!! And lemme tell you the room was amazing, his mum has incredible decorating skills...Even better than my mum.

That was pretty much my Thursday/Friday/Saturday and how I spent it. Loads of fun spending it with Katy and Bryan and meeting their friends.

Sunday I headed over to Desert Ridge around 4pm to keep dad happy and collect more job applications. I got to drive. By myself. For the first time. Ever. Was a lot of fun and very relaxing :)

Had a nice relaxing Monday while on Tuesday I had to go to the doctors to register myself. Happy to tell everyone that I now have a doctor. First one since I moved away from Hastings in 2003, I never got sick enough for one which I am not complaining about. Next Tuesday I have to go back to get my bloodwork done and some other stuff I won't mention.

Honest, I'm not worried.

Today I did nothing again except watch the marathon of Mercy on Oxygen. New. Favourite. Show! It's got James Tupper the vet from Men In Trees :) Very yummy! Anyway me and Jess went and saw 'Did you hear about the Morgan's' and it was alright, I love Hugh Grant to he made the movie for me!

I've been re-reading Harry Potter again, already onto the Goblet of Fire.

I texted Hayden today. Big mistake. I wanted to make sure he was alright because he posted on facebook that he was going to the hospital. He broke his collarbone and proceeded to send me a pxt of it even after I said I didn't want to see it.

After I found that he was ok, we texted for a bit before he text me these two messages "I'm good (besides missing a certain cute girl with a sexy accent)" I knew he was meaning me but I made a joke of it before he replied with this "Haha no she is from New Zealand, she is gorgeous and so fun to be around! And a great kisser too! ;)" Thanks Hayden. I really wanted to know this! NOT. I did respond though. *Sigh*.

Here is the link to my New Year's photos:

I think I have covered everything? Time to get back to my movie, texting RJ, and deciding what I want to eat for dinner :)

New Year, New Decade

Christmas is just a few days away which means that this decade is about to end.

Crazy right?

A decade has almost finished. To be honest it's not something that i had ever thought about in the past but thinking about it right now... Wow... A lot of memories and new experiences like starting Intermediate and High School, moving 3 times and then moving to a different country.

What do you want to see the next decade bring?

Right now i am laying on bed watching Guarding Tess and listening to the rain and thunder thats happening outside. Jealous of the fact that RJ (Richard) is sitting on a couch outside at his house, i would be doing the same but i am slowly getting better. I got sick again, just after break started. I have all the luck don't I? Ha-ha.

Yesterday i was asked if i was looking forward to Christmas, and i told him honestly that "no i wasn't." Hayden was surprised but i wasn't going to lie and say "heck yeah i am!" It just doesn't mean the same as it did while i was still living with mum. I still love the atmosphere that is created by Christmas. I love being out at night and be amazed with all the Christmas lights, i love seeing Christmas trees, just everything about the holiday. I guess i'm kind of contradicting myself right now, but it's difficult to explain my feelings.

Also RJ kind of got into a disagreement about who was the master decorator of Christmas trees, so i had him take a pic of his and post it on Facebook while i hunted through my many photos on CDs for pics of Christmas trees i've decorated in the past. Have to say that his didn't look so bad! it was missing tinsel which i think is an important part of decorations! I will never have a Christmas tree without tinsel. Anyway i was also babysitting my brothers with Amanda last night and she thought me and Rj were both dorks but that my tree looked better.

RJ's tree.

It's pretty good

but...

I think mine is better, thats my daddy

Sunday night i got to meet Katy's family on her dad's side. I was her 'date' for the night, and i enjoyed it. Her family is so nice and welcoming, they even got my presents! I got some Christmas inspired scissors which is funny because i actually was thinking of buying some :-) I also was given some chocolate, gloves, and a super cute necklace.

Here's the link to my photo album on Facebook :-)

Tomorrow i think i am going to see Avatar with Kelsey and her friends. I would rather go with dad and Nick because i know they will go to an Imax but i really wanna see it! Funny thing is i don't know anything about it! :-)

Christmas eve my plan is to go to Katy's church for their candlelight night before going to Scott and Susan's Christmas eve party. Hopefully i make it to that because i enjoyed it last year. Katy also told me that i'm celebrating New Years with her and going to her best friend Morgan's party. It's even better because if i remember Jess, Nabeal, and Dustin inviting me to do something somewhere. Ha-ha shows how much i actually cared about it when i don't remember what it was!

Have a great Christmas! Xx

Elven Princess + Driving School + Harry Potter

Aloha bloggy babys.. I am watching LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring (extended edition). I love Legolas and Pippin the best. Who are your favourites?

The guy who plays Haldir, one of the Elven people who lives in the forrest, is kiwi actor Craig Parker.

This past week has been hectic but only in the form of my Philosophy class. Mr Dickerson seems to have his favourite students that he asks for answers to his questions- unfortunately i am one of those few! I have no idea why because i hardly answer his questions. Though some of the discussions are interesting, i will try and remember next week so i can share them with you all.
Though i do remember we were talking about the bible and Jesus and how he rose from the dead... well that's when Kayce leaned over and whispered "Jesus was a vampire?", that made me laugh! =) Come on it at least made you smile??

So im not sure if i mentioned it in a previous posting but i have my first ever Jury Summons coming up! August 10th to be exact. It was meant to be July 29th but i have class that day so me ans Phyllis changed it. Im nervous but excited.

I thought that i would be able to have a nice relaxing Saturday but yesterday dad told me i would be attending Driving School!! To get my permit!!! Majorly exciting =D =D then i can finally start learning to drive.

Also this Saturday dads taking me to go and see the new Harry Potter movie!! YAY! Haha i soo cannot wait. Eeep. Phyllis told dad he should take me to a movie because I've been very helpful and babysat a few times these past few weeks. I think he wants to see it too. But it'll be good- one on one time with my dad.

And I wrote about Harper's Island in a previous post.. I was right about the killer. =)

Tonight i babysat again, hence dad taking me to the movies Sat, which was fun. Nick challenged me to a rematch to the Mario game we played last time on the Wii (don't ask which one i have no clue) anyway i had won the last won. He won this won which he was happy about but then we played the same game but had Tag Teams instead of Battle. Hehe i won that! I was Princess Daisy (again0 was her last time) and my partner was Princess Peach, our team tame was Damsels in Success =) how cool. So its 2-1 and i can guarantee Nick will challenge me again soon. Plus he didn't like the fact that i bet him at his best games, where you shake the Wii remote.

**Will post pics tomorrow**

Hmm.. What else do i need to share?
I cannot think of anything else. Will do another blog with pics tomorrow and one after the movie and driving school.

Back to my movie. Onto the 2nd disc where they are staying in with the Lady of White, the Queen, played by Cate Blanchett. I like this scene because i love the Elves.
Doubt im going to watch all this tonight.

Night xx

Batten Down the Hatches

Hey there bloggers!

I have been meaning to write a blog post all week but *sigh* i started back at college for their 5 week sessions. If you remember back to this post- i told you what i was taking over the summer semester.

I am, so far, enjoying my Anthropology class. It's very interesting. We have homework due Tuesday and Thursday which sucks.
My other class is French 101, uh yes, what can i say? It's a lot harder than i thought it would be!! This week has been so difficult for me in that class! I'm great with the pronunciation but it's just remembering everything!! I honestly felt like i was going to have a nervous breakdown Tuesday night! I didn't. Almost. I cried though. We have to have this letter thing to a pen-pal done by Monday, i had no idea about it because i left early.. I said i had a Doctors appointment at 4pm- i didn't, i just couldn't stay in there for longer than 2 hours. So i missed the homework! Luckily i had swapped numbers with Riley and Kelsey so they filled me in!

I have decided that i don't think i will be able to handle French 102 and i think dad is going to let me withdraw from it. We kinda talked about it tonight and he asked when was the last day to withdraw from it was. Plus i was talking to Gladys, she's in my Anthropology class and she took the Intro to Philosophy in a summer semester and I'm going to be having the same instructor she had and Gladys told me that she gives a lot of work! I am actually looking forward to that class if it's only that class!

Oh and i have finished the Twilight Saga! I LOVED IT!! OMG, amazing! Haha, i'm reading it again but only at night after i have done my homework. I would read something else but all my books are in NZ. I cannot wait for New Moon to be released on DVD. I'll prolly watch it for the first time on DVD and not at the movies. Typical me =)

What else..? Dad's been in West Virginia since Tuesday-Thursday for work. Tomorrow me, Phyllis and my brothers are going to see Up in 3D of course =) Will let you know what i think.

Oh and i have also tried to make a conscious effort to stop cracking my knuckles etc.. It's my worst habit! I have slipped up a few times, but it's a dramatic improvement!!

Right well i think that's it for now.... sorry for the long rant about school i just really needed to vent that.

"Send a maniac to catch a maniac"

That's a line from Demolition Man. That's the movie i'm watching right now. I like Sylvestor Stallone and Wesley Snipes. Hopefully it's a good movie!

I watched Eagle Eye last night and O.M.G Shia Lebouf is HOT! Haha. good movie too!

Well i got my wish! Last night i tweeted that i wanted it to rain and it started raining around midnight! Don't you just love rain? I find it so soothing to fall asleep to it. You feel at peace with everything. It's still raining now.

Instead of doing homework i'm blogging and watching a movie. Not good! Haha, ohh well i can do it tomorrow!

Just painted my nails black and im already to go to my Granny house (Aunt Charlenes) for Easter dinner. Not really sure why it's happening today haha, but thats cool. Unfortunatly im going to be the only girl! My cousins Jen, Brittany and Amanda won't be there. Should be fun!

Tomorrow for Easter Sunday were having Pizza Hut for dinner! Yum!

Here are some pics of it raining.

Chocolate Fish and Easter!

Hello blog world!!
Sorry I've been M.I.A the past few weeks! I have been on Twitter of course! But just been too busy with school sh*t! These past few weeks have felt like a whirlwind in just the fact i can't separate the days! All i know is that i managed to miss Funny Friday and Did You Know Monday!

Although i can remember one thing from Monday! Lindsay sent me a package to remind me of home! He was sooo kind to send me a bag of Minties and Pineapple Lumps and 2 packs of Chocolate fish. Pic is at the end of the post. I can say that i have now finished the bag of Pineapple Lumps and have just now.. finished 1 pack of chocolate fish.

Last Saturday i went with my dad and brothers to see Monster vs Aliens in 3D. it was sooo cute! I thought Bob made the movie! He was so adorable! You really need to see it in 3D, just make sure you sit near the back! We got there a bit late and were like 3 rows from the screen! And off to the side! Wasn't fun.

I've kind've been watching a lot of movies lately! More so than tv shows. Last Saturday i watched What a Girl Wants and its defo one of my faves! kind've reminds me of me actually! Daphne didn't meet her dad until she was 17 and i didn't meet mine until i was 18! She had to go to a different country to meet him like me. Haha very similar except for the fact that my dad isn't a Lord!
I love movies with happy endings! Like Ever After, that is such a cute movie! I like to believe that somewhere out there i have a 'prince' waiting for me! =D

I got my Vegetarian Paper back. The one i had to write in class with only my outline for information! If you follow me on twitter then you might know what im talking about. Anyway i got a 89/100! I was really shocked when i saw my grade! I didn't think i had done that well! I also got my Personal Philosohpy For Student Success paper back for my CPD150 class. I got 47/50.. A!! Haha!

Blog Meant For Last Night

I was in the mood to blog last night, but my blogger was having issues and wouldnt let me login!

In short, last night i wanted to blog about my brother who's 10 wanted to watch Enchanted and to me that was anb awesome Valentine's Day gift (though he doesn't know it).. That movie really makes me want to believe in the fairy tale of love.. "Someday my prince will come"- yes i know thats not from Enchanted..lol

This is what i got for Valentine's Day from my step-mum.. One of those cute cupcakes! To be honest though, the icing wasn't very nice (at least to me)..

Today is the big family (indoor) picnic.. haha my first one of those! Should be fun though.. Although i won't be able to feed my growing addiction by Twittering.. Ohh well. haha..

I have some Rocket Derby pics that i finally got around to uploading onto the computer and ill post them below... Tomorrow im going to a Renainssance fair which i am sooooo excited about!! They have jousting!!
