Challenge 14: Living in the Past
If you could choose a day, a week, a moment in time to re-live - what would it be?
Why would you do it?
Would you change anything?
i only want to go back six months...
to the start of university...
to OWEEK!
oweek (aka orientation week) was the craziest week of my life so far...
i was in a new place...
with new people...
making amazing new friendships and gaining unforgetable experiences.
the week went something like this:
saturday: travelled from my hometown up to the uni with my parents and spent half the day moving all my things into my new room on campus. met up with all the freshers (the new kids on campus) that night for a few drinks and a pizza party the resident assistants had planned.
sunday: we had a touch football competition (my team came 2nd!!!). and a 'sports' event thing (only way to describe it). one of these so called 'sports' events required me to eat a dry weetbix, get wheel barrowed to a tied down tarp, crawl under the tarp, roll the next activity and bounce a basketball under my legs to the end.... very interesting. haha. that night i got to know the fellow freshers with a few (or maybe a bit more) drinks on res.
monday: started the day with a pancake breakfast mmmmmm. went and played lawn bowls (which i actually ended up being ok at). honestly cant remember what else happened this day... oops haha.
tuesday: PUB CRAWL! we had an awesome pub crawl this night... the theme was medical and it was our first night out in the city together... much fun!
wednesday: one of our first 'lighty' experiences (the pub that is within walking distance of our place).... there was a mechanical bull set up out front and it was hilarious to watch.
thursay: one of only two nights we ever got to have at our uni pub before they shut it down... the theme was post office (and it failed miserably) but a great night was had by all!
friday: a chill out day/night... after all the drinking and partying that had gone on throughout the week we def needed to give our livers a little break.
oh it was such a great week...
i dont think anything will ever compare...
i cant believe how quickly we all become friends that week...
we really had/have an awesome group of people here :)

unemployed.
i am officially unemployed...
not suprising really i have been waiting to get fired for the past 2 weeks...
why? well...
firstly we got a new manager...
who didnt listen to us and was always rude to us and made all her employees quite unhappy in their jobs...
then CGIRL (who was our 2IC) quit because she didnt get along with the manager...
which saddened the rest of the staff cause we all really liked CGIRL...
then the manager fired EBOY (for what reason noone is sure) :( ...
and once again we were sad so...
RGIRL and I wrote things on his facebook along the lines of "OMG what a bitch" "lets get rid of her" "blah blah blah" BUT never once mentioned who we were talking about or what store!!!...
a manager of another store saw it and printed it and took it to our manager...
RGIRL got fired at a meeting i was meant to attend but was too sick for and then...
i went to the make up meeting and i too was fired!!!
Yes thats right, within 2 months the new manager managed to get rid of 4 original staff members (leaving her with almost no one to run the 2 stores she was managing).
Ok so i realise writing such things on facebook was not a good idea, i recognise that and will not make the mistake again...
but the way i was treated in the meeting i was fired in was 100x worse then anything i could ever have written...
i was told i was a disgusting person who will make a terrible teacher and basically belittled and made to feel stupid for 15 mins...
i am NOT a bad employee...
i was good at my job, honest, reliable, trustworthy, hardworking...
its sad it had to end this way :(
now off to find a new job...

tune for tuesday.
I thought id try something new and share a different set of lyrics with you each week... perhaps you'll discover your next favourite artist here :)
FOOLING MYSELF
I stop to catch my breath - And I stop to catch your eye
No need to second-guess - That you've been on my mind
I dream days away, but that's okay -
It's like I want to hear a silent sound - And then hold it in my hand
But a rose won't blossom from a ground - Of desert sand, but I like to pretend that
One day I'll turn around - I'll see your hand reach out
I'm only fooling myself, ohhh,ohhh,ohhh - But maybe when you smile
It means you'd stay awhile - Just maybe yeah you'd save me now
Well, now it's etched in stone - That I can't survive alone - You have the missing piece
That I need so desperately - Yes, I slip away to a day that'll never come
It's like a splash of water to my face - When I suddenly realize - That you could never find a place
For me in your eyes, and I don't know why I keep thinking
One day I'll turn around - I'll see your hand reach out
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah, - But maybe when you smile
It means you'd stay awhile - Just maybe yeah you'd save me now
It's love in disguise - I'm lost in your mind - I'm lost in your eyes
One day I'll turn around - I'll see your hand reach out
I'm only fooling myself, yeah, yeah, yeah, - But maybe when you smile
It means you'd stay awhile - Just maybe yeah you'd save me now - Save me now
Just maybe you'd save me now
-Kate Voegele.
Have you heard of Kate Voegele? She is amazing. I first saw her on One Tree Hill (in which she played the character Mia) and fell in love with her music instantly!

busy bee.
lack of blog posts = busy times.
ive got a lot of uni work this sememster...
i think its more then last, atleast it feels that way...
one of my assignments for PE is to create a group dance performance which we will then show to 100 or so kids during the uni's Health and Physical Education Week...
our dance is coming along ok...
the theme is bullying, so there are lot of punching and pushing movements in it and the song we have choosen to dance to is Beat It by MJ...
its taking a lot of time and effort to put together!
Apart from spending alot of time on uni...
i also have alot going on at work...
which i cant discuss here right now...
but lets just say its highly possible i will be unemployed by the end of the week.
And what to do with my spare time???
Watch TV shows of course :P
im currently really into the Entourage series...
almost finished season 3 ...
loves it!
:)

giving.
giving makes you happy.
giving makes you live longer.
giving is my latest uni assignment...
for the rest of the semester i must do something "giving" every day...
this can include something as simple as giving out a compliment or opening the door for someone...
anything that is helpful or puts a smile on another persons face.
there are two other groups doing this assignment...
group one does nothing...
group two has to keep a diary and write in it each night what they are grateful for from that day...
and group three is my giving group...
will be interesting to see if giving really does make you happier, as the research suggests.
found a great website this week:
exerciseTV
it has heaps & heaps of exercise videos for FREE :)
ive started a new workout plan from the site and its great although my legs are still sore from a 'celebrity shred' workout i did two days ago.
