Birthday Surprises

So yep, today i turned another year older! And to celebrate this great day i got to spend it in English! Yep, sounds fun!

Anyway apart from that today has been one of the best birthdays ever! For one thing i get to celebrate in a different country than last year! I FINALLY got to open up my two packages from mum and dad that arrived last week! So we'll start with what i got..

Also in mums box she packed some stuff i A. forgot or B. didnt think i'd need. She sent summer tops that i wasnt into but now wanted, ipod covers and headphones, scientific calculator, my nice bangles, and my gossip girl book.

For dinner i chose pasta and apple pie instead of cake. Was a good choice too!

So all in all today was pretty fab!

And to top off a GREAT day, i got to speak to my mummy on her lunchbreak. It was a short converstaion but it was good hearing her voice! And i also talked to dad.

TV Marathons, Oscars and My Birthday Present

I know, I know..how boring! lol

But.. coming over here i have missed a whole lot of episodes of my fave shows so i decided to find them online and watch (most) of them!

And i have (kinda).. im all caught up with Chuck, bar the 1st 3 episodes.. Bones's latest episodes- shame i couldnt find the earlier ones.. many more too.. apart from my fave show... Gossip Girl. i didnt even get to finish the first season! So im prayin that they might show a marathon from season 1-2..unlikely but i can hope right?

So yeah that was pretty much my weekend.. although i cleaned my room cos it was messy!

Ohh and good news.. my (step) dad from back home is buying me this camera this my bday!!

Isnt it gorgous!! Its the Canon SD 880 IS in Gold of course! And he say's that it could be a very early bday pressie! Cos my bday isn't untill end of April.. He'll buy it online (from an american shop) and just get in shipped to me.. Ahh im sooo Excited!!

Anyway.. ive got classes tomorrow along with my 3rd (and final) Grammar workshop.. There were 5 but i had to miss to cos of my classes.. It's extra credit for english and its easy..

I soo can't wait for the oscars.. im gonna record it so i can watch it during my break between class and the workshop.. I really want Kate Winslet to win, i love her! My bff rach told me i look like her along with a few others as well! *How Cool?* lol.
I don't think she'll win i think Meryl Streep will beat her (hope not).. I dont Brad Pitt to win or Angelena Jolie.. I mainly just watch for the fashions!!

Logging out for now..this is long enough. xoxo
