Its the new year, and with it comes multiple new years resolutions and many more broken ones. My new years resolution is to make sure that i am in bed by 1:30 at the latest, and even earlier when i am working early because i have been making myself rather ill sue to lack of sleep lately and that is not good. I guess tho i could make an exception and make it only work nights, which means that this is one of them... so i guess i should go. I hope everyone has more success than i do in keeping their resolutions!

Yay its Christmas, and for once im happy :)

I had work today which wasnt too bad, I wasndered around aimlessly in my break and felt rather aloof as it is the first time in ages that I have been able to leave the shop in my break, normally i have to sit out te back and eat and try to pass the time all the while hoping that we dont get a sudden ruch of customers to interrupt my aimless thoughts!
Nothing really interesting happened taody, we had a busy day which given the fact that there were thunderstorms etc during the day was unexpected. We had done double what we normally do by 3:00 and it wasnt looking good for them when I finally left at 3:30. I saw the boy last night which was good and I had a rather enjoyable evening :P It kinda sucks at the moment tho because we are in the shitty television stage of the year. Hopefully though it will all passt pretty soon and ratings tv will come back.
I am very strongly thinking about going to the States at the end of next year on a work USA program. I can image working over there maybe in the ski fields - i'd probly work as a waitress hnopefully and do a bit of travelling. Or I am thinking that I will take about a year off uni and go over to Italy. I have a dream of sitting out the back of an amazing villa in Italy looking out over the country side -maybe in Cortona just outside of Tuscany?? The colours and smells would be amazing, staring out at plantations of olive trees and people in the distance on the hills harvesting them. I would be sitting on a deck chair, it would be just before sunset, the weather would be perfect, not too hot but still warm enough to drink a fruit cocktail in the sun. The oranges and reds of the sunset would spread across the sky as far as the eye can see. I would go inside just before all the bugs came out and the sun completely dissappeared. I would sit in the second floor window staring out at the dark fields with candles below all waiting for my guewts to arrive. As I would be having an amazing dinner party. The table would be set with white table cloths so that the stains of a good Italian dinner could be scrubbed out the next day :P As the guests arrived we would have drinks out on the back verandah while I was running in and out of the kitchen trying not to burn it down! We would all sit around a great big tabel full of food there would be at least 12 of us, there would be spaghettu, roast, ragu and anything else that we could ever desire, all accompanied by a wine from the local region. For desert there would be dried fruit and cheese, followed by more wine! The laughter and fun would continue well into the night before everyone left to go home. I would leave the dishes for the next day and retire to bed.
Now that is paradise.

Ok so now that exams have finished i have come back from my holiday and we have finally got our ADSL connection to the internet working i can finally put a post on here!!
Life is going fairly well at the moment. I am still with the boy, work is good - except i am working an incredible number of hours compared to what I am used to, i survived the 7th of December which would have been my grandmothers birthday (the first one we have had to celebrate without her) and only shed a few tears, i have recieved my grades for uni and passed all of my subjects yay!!, and tonight I am cooking a roast lamb dinner for my boy, my brother and my sister, which hopefully will taste great and last of all I have finished 99% of my christmas shopping and even given some of my christmas presents out (or rather my brother gave them to my dad when he went to QLD the other weekend!). Now all I have to do is organise to spend some time with one of my friends who is going to Europe for 3 weeks before she leaves, which will hopefully be happening this weekend when we go to Carols and other than that bring on Christmas. There are going to be some mixed feelings this Christmas. It is the first Christmas we will be celebrating without my grandmother which is going to be incredibly hard on my grandfather and my mother as it was her mother who passed away. It was bad enough on what would have been my grandmothers birthday, I sent mum some flowers at work so that she knew I was thinking of her and that made her cry so hopefully it wont be too bad, but there will still be a noticable absence at the table this christmas.
On another note I am not sure what I am going to be doing this new years, I feel like going out and having a massive celebration but I am not sure if I have the energy. Im sure when it comes to the night I will feel great - that is if I dont pass out at work that day because no doubt I will be working Christmas eve and new years eve - not exactly fair but oh well we shall wait and see what happens because this is all purely speculation.
Well if I have any readers left after my considerably long absence from this blog I hope you all found that interesting or at least some way to pass the time!!
More later!

AHHHHHHHHHH... I hate exams...

To study or not to study

Ok, so this no internet thing hasnt really held out very well. I have my first exam tomorrow and am over it. I am over everything... study, and uni and study. I tried to study today to the point that i drove myself to the library to study so i wouldnt get distracted but after an hour (whcih felt like about 6) I was nearly falling asleep and decided it was time to come home. I still have a few hours tomorrow morning in which I can study but Im at the point where i know that i dont know enough but also my brain just wont focus and I cant study... and I still have one exam and one assignment to go... Wish me luck!!

Not much has been happening lately. Just trying to study - the main emphasis on the word trying - it isnt working very well tho! I think Im going to have to ban myself from the net for the next few days... which I know isnt going to work but Im going to try...
So I shall now go and finish chatting to my b/f and then go to bed ... or I could start this no internet thing in the morning... sounds good to me!!
