My Hoildays

Okay i haven't written in here for ages cause i've been so caught up in my assignment but its all finished now so i can finally write about my awesome holiday.
I drove up to Chch with my family because my Uncle , Great Aunty and Cousin were comming over from England and we haven't seen them for about 7 years.
We stayed with the Browns in there new house which was really nice, they have a separate guest quarters upstairs complete with a private bathroom.
It was so cool to spend time with the extended family doing looks of outdoor adventure stuff like climbing a mountain (Avalanche Peak), going caving through cave stream, and rock-climbing. It was all pretty adrenialine building, scarey fun stuff but it really bonded the family and we all worked hard to help each other out. We also went to see Batman Begins which surprisng was really good (sorry sam when you invited me i really wasn't keen but my cousin convinced me it was worth seeing.) I also caught up with some friends Rach Whyte and Obi. Any yes i'm very proud to say i went to Dressmart with my sista and cousin and didn't spend anything on clothes even though i was really tempted all i ended up buying was a $10 cd of 50 first dates soundtrack. So i think i am on the way to saving for chile. At the end of the week my cousin and uncle Edward came back to Dunedin and stayed with my family beacause my cousin Gemma is thinking about studying sport here at uni in a few years. We had fun here too hanging out and got on really well even though we haven't seen each other for so long, ice-skating, shopping (well for me it was just looking) and witnessing the great fire in dunedin that was way cool!!.
To topp things off my cousin responded to Jesse's altercall at oxygen on sunday night and became a christian. There've gone back to England now but hopefully we won't have to wait as long to see them next time.

My Dumb Ditzy Moments

I was on the phone at my desk to the DCE and i got the answer phone but at the same time my phone vibrated with a txt on my desk so I was in the middle of leaving a message and i reached over to grap my phone i bumped my mug of Peach and Passionfruit tea and it went all over the desk i think i said something like ahh crap into the answer phone then hung up out of embarrassment. The tea however spilt all over my phone and my friends poster that i was meant to be keeping safe for her cause she left it at work shh don't tell her!! lol.

Then a few hours after that i went to the gym with ange I started off on the treadmill went for about 20mins then decided to go for another 10mins on the bikes while i waited for ange to finish. So i jumped on the closest bike to me and started pedalling but nothing happened i waited for the numbers to show up but they didn't so i thought it must be broken so i went onto the next one that didn't work either i tried about 5 different bikes not having any lucky with any of them while i could see ammused eyes watching me! Finally i saw a man get of the bike and so i thought his must be working but as soon as i got on i realised that the seat was too high for me and i tried to lower it but had no luck. So jumped on the next bike then started pedalling and read the instructions on the bike which said start pedalling them push start!! DUHHH! Just goes to show always read the instructions first.

Highs and Lows

My week this week has had some highs and lows as most weeks do, My flatmates have all been on holiday and i've been left in the flat by myself (sniff sniff). Nah its not that bad really my sister came and stayed with me for a few days and they my friend nay came and stayed with me too so i wasn't that lonley. It was quite fun having the whole flat to myself i moved the tv up into my bedroom so i could be lazy and watch it in bed though i must admit that it was a bit of a distraction. Its back in its place now and Cara and Ange are back in the flat with me, it will be strange having everyone back in the flat after being so used to having none of them around.
At the moment though i seem to have no motivation or energy to do anything!! I've slept in heaps and been late to course more than once. Monday i couldn't be bothered getting out of bed and i felt all groggy and fluey so i didn't even bother going to class. Then on tuesday at work i had to supervise and i got really mad at this girl that i was in charge of cause she was trying to take control when i was away doing a job and she wrote on my cleaning roster and was just annoying everyone, I feel real sorry for her and try to be nice to her most of the time but this time i just lost it. Even the duty manager was getting cross with her so i had to tell her off, i felt so bad after though cause i hate conflict and telling people off and she just kept dennying everything. Then on wednesday i was being ordered around by one of my class mates, she made me be her assistant and when i tried to help so just told me off. Lost was pretty cool on wednesday night tho brother flat and co came around. Yesterday i got real bored and went over to visit jane even though i'm supposed to be working on an assignment i really didn't feel in the mood for doing anything. Little things keep bugging me like cleaning and dishes and that, I dunno whats wrong with me i tried calling out to god but he just seems so distant right now. Anyways i'm finally on holiday now yay for 2 whole weeks so thats something positive to be thinking about. I'm going to christchurch next week with my family too catch up with relations and my uncle and cousin that are comming over from england i'm really looking foward to that cause i haven't seen them in like 5 years. Dad said he might take us skiing when were there yay haven't done that for ages either. But i carn't go shopping :-( cause i'm still trying to save my money for chile. Its so hard i didn't realise it would be so hard i keep having these unexpected bills popping up then i have to pay for food and other toiletry essesntials grr it never ends.
