Time for a catch-up

*waves like a lunatic* HEY EVERYONE!!! Look who finally decided that enough was enough and it was time to update my blog :-)

Hope everyone is well? Everything going well in everyones day-to-day lives?

Right got the pleasantries over with its done to business. If you follow me on Twitter then you will know ALL of this.

I have been super busy with school. Only like 6 or so weeks left! Right now im getting a C in MacroEconomics, an A- in English, im guessing an A in Juvenile Justice, and i have no clue about Sociology. But overall pretty good. I need to start getting 8's, 9's, and 10's on my MacroEconomic tests (that are every Tuesday) so i can raise my grade.

I finally got my licence (11 October) Practically 2 months after i got my permit! I am beyond chuffed that i passed with.. wait for it.. 100%!! :-) Kris told me i was his 11th person to get 100% Woohoo go me!

I got to experience my FIRST Halloween on Saturday and it was crazy haha. But everyones costume was amazing. Nick was an old school gangster while Jake was spiderman. I got to carve my very first pumpkin which was sooooo hard! Word of advice: If your going to carve a pumpkin with a design, don't pick a hard design like the Grim Reaper!

Overall it was a fun night...

Considering i'd been nursing a killer hangover from Friday night. Screwdrivers (vodka and orange juice) are oh-so yummy but oh-so bad in the morning! Plus playing drinking/card games that make you drink quicker doesn't help matters! I was soooo screwed up that night. Poor Jess, when she arrived just after 9:30 i was already drunk as a skunk! Thats what happens when Nabeal calls me and asks if i wanna go off-roading with them. That part of the night was a blast. Unfortunatly mistakes were made that night.

Hmm what else...?

Hayden :-)

LOL.

He is such a sweet guy. Unbelievably nice and gorgeous and he likes me. We aren't dating...yet that is. We call each other hun, babe etc etc and text every single day. We could be having a date Sunday but im not sure. His truck died so he doesn't have a car and i don't get a car until dad buys a new one. Plus i haven't driven alone yet.

Mum and Dad sent 2 packages to me full of goodies. One box had my favourite hat that i had left behind and raspberry licorice, (the REAL stuff not that stupid stuff Americans eat) Chocolate logs, (yah know with black licorice on the outside) and my FAVOURITE chips in the universe! ETA Uppercuts Honey Soy Chicken chips.. I almost died when i ate one! I've eaten 1 full bag and am 1/2 way through the 2nd. In the other box was the rest of my Harry Potter books, another book, cds, dvd of pic's mum and dad took, and a super cute necklace.

I will post some pics of Halloween and the goodies i got and anything else i might find later on tonight while im texting Hayden and playing My Zoo on Facebook.

Hope you enjoyed catching up on a small part of whats happened since my last post. I honestly can't remember everything that has happened. So when i do and i blog it it will be all over the place.

Have a great weekend :-)

School's Out

Well well well! Here we are and it's Friday! Been awhile since i have posted anything here and i actually have some very happy and exciting news to share with you all!

First off, school is out! For me at least! I get 2 glorious weeks off to relax. I had my CPD final on Wednesday and my English final last Thursday. For both of them i had to talk in front of the class!!! I was so freakin nervous but i got through it! Anyway still on the subject of school... I went onto Blackboard and i know what my overall grades were for my classes!!....

...... I got all A'S!!!!!!......

OhMyGod i was sooo overjoyed when i saw that!!!

So, what am i planning on doing for my 2 week break i hear you ask? Well let me tell you!!!

Now cast your mind back to my Spring break postings and i told you i was going to go to the Grand Canyon with my grandparents? Remember? Good, well you know that didn't happen. But... Next week i am going!

But wait there's more...

My grandparents have decided that going up on the train is going to be quite boring as they have already done that before so they have decided to take me first to.... LAS VEGAS!!!! Yep Viva Las Vegas baby! I'll be there till Wendesday when we make our way to the Grand Canyon which i'll see Thrusday!

I am sooo excited!! I'm leaving on Monday!!!

Now regarding my blog posts, i will not be posting or tweeting -I shudder to think the withdrawl i will go through without tweeting!- but i have decided that the week after i get back (starting on the 25th) i will post daily entries corrosponding to that day last week. Hope i havent confused you yet! What i mean is that when im away i'll try to write down everything i do so that i can share my adventures with you when i get back! I would love to do it when im away but im not taking the laptop.

Now the only major drama is.. what the heck am i going to take?!?!

An actual post, with actual writing!!

Haha, ill halt on my posting my pictures.. though i only have one more to post which ill do in this post.. haha... Blame my new camera for all the picture posts! Candy or Bernie, which name sounds better? Or do you have a better one? lol, anyway it just cant help itself!

The hike today was sooo pretty and frikn warm!! and its only gonna get hotter... ohh fun! Send me back to NZ now... lol nah i have a pool... ill be good! Was taught from Amanda (jakes aid worker) that there is a type of cactus that actually, like a venus fly trap, attacks you if you get to close! Was sorely tempted to see if she was right but chickened out many times!! I didnt get a pic of it.

Haha if you follow me on Twitter then you would have seen 2 pics that were posted on twitpic that twitpic chose to upload! Was such a crack up, i couldnt stop laughing for over 10min! I was trying to post a pic of a sign that said 'No Outlet' cos in NZ we say 'No Exit' so it was really funny and strange.. haha check out what twitpic loaded www.twitpic.com/photos/sammyclaire
One was i guess a photo from a tall building looking down onto a city, and the other well i dont know what to make of it!! Blood/paint/nailpolish? you be the judge!!

Ohh and a really great song that i am in love with at the moment is Wild at Heart by Gloriana

Oh and the only photo i want to upload is of a mummy and baby skittle.. its so cute and small!!

Yes this post will be a lot chipper than last nights!

Yesterday i forgot to blog that 2 of my magazines from back home arrived!! Now the pic below is of the Febuary issue of Cleo (One of my fave mags!), i also got the Jan issue but couldnt find a pic of it! You can't see it all that well! I didnt take it.. Anyway its a great mag and i love it! Shame they didnt do a Cleo Bacholar of the Year calendar! I also got blu-tak! very happy about that cos now i can stick pictures onto my walls and not have to worry about ripping them off like i would with tape..

Today i only had one class! And i got out early too! So spring break started for me around 11am! And yet i didnt do anything exciting except Twitter, damn that site is addictive!

I also have started using Facebook again- not sure why though lol..

OhMyGosh! I tweeted before that a cute guy was trying to flirt me into buying whatever he was selling! He was doing it to raise $ for his soccer team, or something along those lines! Anyway, he was saying "come on a beautiful girl like you cant just shut me down like that without even looking at it".. "is my hair isnt it? Thats why you don't think im cute".. that wasnt true! he was very cute! He was a shameless flirt! And i was kinda (maybe) flirting back =P

So that was pretty much my day! nothing exciting!

Limewire Update =S

I havent downloaded yet.. Kindve been talked out of it by someone on Twitter.. Still unsure as to whether i will download it..

Nothing went wrong on my dads laptop back home.. He had Norton whereas i have McAfee on this laptop..

I need suggestions as to whether i should download it, or not to bother??

Does anyone use it??

Help....

Lack of Sleep

Yes as my blog title suggests.. I am functioning on very few hours of sleep!

Last night and well into the am, i was online talking to Josh and my dad for some part of the night.. It was good lol..

Although when we hit 1am i started to go a weee bit Krazyy as Josh would tell you.. I had Lady Gaga on constant repeat and was quoting some lyrics into the conversation and sending god knows how many nudges.. sorry!
Our convo was extremely random.. I cant unfortunately remember any of our conversation.. but reading my Tweets, i can safely say that those wouldve made me appear drunk.. i wasnt.. Can't drink over here cos of the age being 21..

Anyway.. lack of sleep excluded today is Friday and that means its time to do my first ever Funny Friday! Very excited about this! I would love if you could leave a comment under the post its in! I know that todays joke is bordering on the lame side of funny.. but as i got a kick out of you might..

Flower Mayhem and English

When i should be doing my Reaction Paper essay for english (due tomorrow i might add) i'm here, writing a blog and on Twitter!

I've been going flower mad for the past two days straight! I've been drawing them all over my folder and worksheets plus myself! And i've come to the conclusion that i think i might get a flower tattoo (when im older lol).. i have a had many ideas for tattoos including: stars, horoscope in japenese, fairies, doves..etc..

I've been wanting one since i can remember but i got talked out of getting one last year by my step dad.. Im not sure as to where i want to get a tattoo and i still have to find a design i love.. This is where i drew my flower... ->

the internet is really my downfall.. I cant concentrate.. Doesnt help when i have to write my english paper in word.. *huge sigh*

Annoyed.. grr

Ahh noooooooooooo...........

Twitters not working!!!

It's ok though..really..don't freak..

Hope they fix it soon! Ahh that is soo annoying!

In other news... private practice and greys anatomy are on tonight along with burn notice

And i am listening to a GREAT NZ radio show online... i listened to it every day!!
