mood: content content
music: pearl jam - alive

the whole family went away on friday night and aren't back until sunday.

it's been nice.

i drank export gold and read harry potter in the bath with both the stereos up loud on the rock.
it was golden.

nothing much happened today. which was nice.
should have gone to the national library for my history assignment, but i didn't. i did some highlighting for it, though. so it's not like i ditched it completly.

on friday i got asked why i was wearing a tshirt with ballerinas on it because, apperently, ballet and me seem like opposites.
i informed her that i did ballet for 8 years.
it was funny.

cough splutter die

Went to the doc yesterday who says I have a chest infections and gave me amoxycillian and put me on the neubulizer. Suprise suprise.

Went to school after the appointment, pretty much just to go to Phight Club which is the philosophy club... Except that it's pretty much just an informal debating club now. It was fun.

Did you know that New Zealand's army has enough ammo to wage a full on war for 30 minutes? Wow... Lol.

Then we had a substitute in drama and I got told off for swearing in class for possibly the first time since I started at Onslow.

Apperently I said 'fuck' twice in a minute.
*gasp*

I'm going to attempt to make a risotto for dinner for the first time... Wish me luck.

That is, if I ever finish photocopying this stuff for history.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!? HUH?!?

My ears are all blocked up and so is my nose and my chest and throat hurt.

I started a new preventative inhaler a few days ago and my asthma just went haywire and now I have my very own chest/ sinus infection. I saw my very own because it's the exact same one I get whenever my asthma gets out of control. It generally involves my nose and ears getting really blocked up with green crud then my throat getting all swelled up at around the same time as I start coughing up aforementioned green crud. And I turn white as white. Which is funny because I already glow in the dark.

And then I go to the doctor who tells me to take my blue (not the preventative one) inhaler lots and gives me amoxycillian which makes me feel weird for ages. Oh, and maybe nebulize me *yuck*

*Sigh* I'll have to go to the doctor this week.

Entry number two

4th. Jun, 2006 | 03:36 am
location: home
mood: sleepy sleepy

Yes, a highly original title by all accounts.

It's 3:30am, I really oughta learn not to open new accounts on things any time after about 10:30pm because I'll just spend half the night messing around on the site.

But that's okay. This layout's alright, I'll work on it another time.

Tomorrow/ later (never have figured that one out) I'm going to at least one class at the gym, probably two. I only really want to go to one but my exchange student has messed up her muscles so we're going to try Body Balance which is yoga, pilates and tai chi combined. I went to it once and decided it wasn't for me but flexibility and toning is all good. Then later on I will work on some of my reaerch assignment for history. Basically I'll spend a couple of hours photocopying, and highlighting if I get time/ can be bother, stuff about Irish settlement in the north island of New Zealand between 1840 and 1900. It's thrilling, seriously... Then Monday is a public holiday and will, in part, be dedicated to my Othello essay which Mary (mum's partner) is going to help me with because, well, she's a geek.

Time for a last troll 'round the forums then bed.

Nighty night.
