New Semester in a Wet and Windy Week

It's been awhile since i've blogged and i do feel like i have let myself down. I said i was going to write one about 5 times before this week, now i've finally decided to sit down and write one!
In honor of the rain I decided to watch Poseidon :) I thought it seemed fitting.

I had to walk in the rain today, luckily I didn't get wet going to Math but on the way home the puddles in the street turned into a mini river. Needless to say my foot and bottom of my jeans got satcherated. Also I should mention I had an umbrella :) I was also able to wear my black trench coat.

This week classes started back up. I was super nervous Tuesday because i only had Math and i am super bad at it. Turns out we are starting at, like, kindergarten level maths - today we learnt about adding and subtracting. I'm being honest! Supposedly its going to get harder, and I hope so because I have it 4 days a week. I'm sitting at the middle table in the back with 2 guys, Eric and Sam. Eric is probably early 30s and Sam is my age. Yesterday this girl Lauren was sitting with us but she wasn't here today. I like Sam cos when he asked whereIi was from all he said was "All Blacks!!!" I was like "dude you rock!!" :) We should get along just fine.
Wednesday I had my 7:30am class which was Psych, I think i'm really going to enjoy that class. I didn't mind the early start and I picked a table with a fairly cute guy called Andy and Kimberley who said she's taking this class to hopefully get to know her teenage son better. Theres this other guy, Zack, who seems cute atm. :) Ha ha.
I also had my Public Speaking class on Wednesday at 10:30, I was surprised when I saw Doug waiting to go in as well. He was in my English 102 class this past semester! Unfortunately we were put in groups and he's not in mine, oh well. Theres actually a few cute guys in that class! I know one is called Skylar :) Unique name which is why i remember it.

Tomorrow I have Geology from 9am to 2:45pm... Long day for me. Hopefully we will get out early because the lecture ends at 11:45 and the lab doesn't start until 12pm but as it's the 1st day I doubt we will be doing anything else except going over the syllabus.

So, in my last blog i mentioned I was going to the doctors on Tuesday 12 to get my bloods drawn etc.. The bloods weren't as bad as I thought it would be, though when the results came back I found I have a slightly higher cholesterol than I should. Other than that everything is fine with me.

Since my last blog I had a movie night with RJ, we watched Invictus and Halloween 2. Admittedly I hid for pretty much all the scary parts but other than that Halloween 2 was okay. I didn't watch much of Invictus, I just couldn't get into it until the end where South Africa played NZ - then I was yelling at the TV. :) I should have picked Up In The Air with George Clooney but we can watch that next time. Oh, dad also insisted on meeting RJ before we left. It was awkward for me, he said it wasn't bad. No idea what dad thinks of him though, lol, doesn't actually matter. We're only friends. I love his mum and dad though, they are so much fun to chill with.

Nothing has changed on the job front either. I've lost count on how many places i've actually applied to though on Tuesday i filled out an online application for a part-time housekeeping job at The Marriott hotel which I would absolutely love to get! Talking to my (step) dad on Monday made me realize that I do want to work in the Travel & Tourism industry.

On Saturday 16 I had lunch with my dad, I knew what he wanted to talk about so I was able to have some answers already formed. He asked what I wanted to do in 1year and in 5years, where i saw myself career wise, job, University, etc.. Found out that I will be able to buy the car off dad for $500 when I get a job, will have to take out a loan but paying that back will give me credit and credit is everything here - good credit that is.
Dad and I went to, what I now like to call our place, The Codfather.. I had bangers and mash.. HEAVEN! I have not had that since mum last cooked it for me. I miss her cooking.
I also got to talk to my mummy!! She actually rang me. I was in shock that she did. It was good talking to her though, I miss her.

I went and saw Leap Year on Monday with Kelsey, Mel and 2 more friends of hers. Mel got me in for free because she works at that Harkins theatre. The movie was sooo freaking cute!! I posted this on Facebook after I got back home:

"Ah Leap Year was sooo cute!! Defo worth seeing it :) Plus that guy is wow. Hot! His accent... Mum, I think you should be worried if i go to Ireland :P"

And I stand by that.

On Monday I was also able to finish all 7 Harry Potter books :) I was sufficiently proud of myself. Ohh and i also bought The Half Blood Prince on Saturday.. I was driving past Walmart on my way home and I was like "I'm just gonna pop into Walmart" and I saw it and had to have it! Dad would have bought it but I had to get the special features whereas dad would just buy the movie.

Hayden's been making me jealous by sending me pictures of the snow he's getting. Dork. Told him to make me a snow angel today and pxt it to me, so far nothing. I also asked if he could build me a snowman.. Yep he didn't, though to be fair I think he was up the mountains skiing when i asked cos he said "It wasn't the right snow." I will continue asking though.

I think thats everything?
No doubt i will have missed certain things, but they were obviously not important enough to be included in todays blog.

"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.

Indoor Picnic and Babysitting..

So that family picnic that i mentioned previously, well it was meant to be this weekend after it was postponed last weekend cos of the rain.. I have now heard it is being moved to my grandma's house because it is forecaste to rain yet again this weekend! So i have now renamed it the Indoor family Picnic- lol! Surprisingly i haven't yet been out to my grandparents house! But I've only been here 2 and a half months!!

Gosh that has gone so quick! I can't believe i have been living in America for over 2 months! I got here 2 days before Thanksgiving, because i was adamant that i would get to experience a Thanksgiving holiday.. We don't celebrate that in good ol' NZ.

Yes! Hahaha, i'm babysitting! One of the Cub Scouts mum's has asked me to babysit her 2 boys- their around the same age as my half brothers. Though i'm not sure what the going rate is now haha.. My cousin says $8-10.. Thoughts???

I was soo happy! I finished my Reaction Summary Paragraphs paper for English, 10min ago! It's due tomorrow.. Ahh it was soo tedious.. but at least its dunzo!

Gosh my blog posts are getting longer! So that is a sign to stop writing i guess!!

My So-So Day

Against all odds i had a good day! Well tell i got home that is... This morning i needed to print a Journal Summary for my CPD class and it didnt wana print so i was freaking out, and then it started to rain (i walk to my classes).. Then the rain stopped and my summary printed, and i downloaded a trial version of Microsoft 2007.. It works!

So i was all happy last night when i finally got around to downloading MSN, but every time when i try to open it, it comes up with this
"Windows Live Messenger has stopped working"
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
How annoying is that?!?! Every single freakin time! I mean it works on the computer- i downloaded it the other day, but it just doesnt wanna work on the laptop! GRR.. so i guess till they fix the problem (unlikely) it's back to the Web Messenger..
Ohh and on the way home, i got absolutely soaked! Haha while i was in class it started raining, luckily a friend from class lent me her umbrella- she had another class. Then it started to hail!!
So all in all my day was eventful but sometimes for the worst!
So i decieded to listen to Taylor Swift and she's making me feel much better.
And to top it all off i got email from a guy i haven't heard from for a few months (to be honest i much preferred that). It was very short just asking how i was.. Nothing wrong with that but seeing as he has said in the past that he will always love me.. grrr haha. I was never into him. I got annoyed because when i moved away form high school the only time he would text me was when he had broken up with a girlfriend, something bad had happended to him or his family.. but he would never reply to my messages.. I so could have done without hearing from him today..
