Going for a Walk

Dad, Missy and I went down to Carine Park to go for a walk today. Missy was her usual self, barking and growling at any dog that tried to say hello to her. We did one lap of the park then went back to the carpark to give Missy a drink. Once she had a breather, we went for a run through the middle of the park. Missy stood on the brick wall and stood there looking around at the park while we lent on it. A few times Missy looked like she wanted to jump down the giant wall and she couldn't really understand the concept of using the stairs...

I was feeling so anxious for my Applicable mark. I felt so nervous because I had a feeling I was going to fail it. To see the 51% on my paper made me feel so happy. I had passed the course. Even though it is not the greatest grade in the world (C), it is the best that I can do because maths is my weakest area. I just hope that I will be able to pass my TEE and with great study, I should.

I had my Aunty and my Nanna come over today so that they could see the photos from their Esperance/Kalgoorlie holiday. Some of the pictures were so beautiful and they were taken with our camera!

After they left, my uncle, cousin, his girlfriend and their baby Joshua came over, so that they could do their tax returns on the internet and Dad could help them. Joshua had a keen interest in Missy and loved looking at her.

I just finished watching the James Bond film The World is Not Enough. It is one of my favourites next to GoldenEye. I love it how women are becoming more involved in the movie; not for their sex appeal but for their intelligence.

No Fun, All Work

All I have been doing for last two days is homework and I am so stressed. I had so much work due for tomorrow. I have a Chemistry validation and English in-class essay tomorrow, a Human Biology test on Tuesday and an in-class assignment for Religion on Wednesday.

Stephen and I tried to get Missy to walk on the treadmill with no luck. She just slides off the edge. If there is a Yummy at the end, she will get it, but she will stop walking. She doesn't know to use all of her legs. Her back legs are like brakes so when I try to move her forward, she doesn't. Oh well.

Well that's about it. No fun for a while!

Passionfruit

Listening to Neighbours while thinking about my day.

I woke up at 6:30 this morning, trying to decide whether I should get up or sleep in until my normal hour of seven. I must have fallen back asleep, because the next time I opened my eyes and looked at my clock it was 7:10. Mum walked into my room to wake me up so I turned towards the door and closed my eyes again. Missy ran into my room to come and lick me on the ear. She whistled and ran out the room.

There were more people in the Chemistry lab than usual due to the lab validation that we were going to do in ten minutes. People were doing last minute study to cram in the last bits of information. The validation itself was actually quite good and I knew how to do most of it.

The double period of Applicable today didn't feel as long as it usual does, even though I felt really tired.

The group today at lunch was split into two groups of people playing 13: the groups that don't mind egos getting into the way and the people that enjoy the Private Game.

In Art, we drew fruit that had been cut in half using charcoal. When I walked into the room, the smell of passionfruit was overwhelming and I just wanted to grab them and eat it. I drew two halves of a Pawpaw which actually turned out OK. At the end of the class, I was given half of the passionfruit and I walked with it to the library to go to my free period. We played Uno, and I tried to talk while I had the passionfruit half in my mouth as my hands were holding the cards.

Try the love tester I have put at the bottom of my blog. It is quite interesting!

Party Followed By Relaxation

Listening to Rush Hour by Christopher Lawrence

Yesterday was Kristina's 18th birthday party. We picked up Catherine and two minutes after she left, she forgot her phone so we had to drive back. When we got there and we got to the door and there was Adam and Luke. Luke was the most dressed up out of all of us (it was a retro party). He had half of his hair spiked up, had small rounded glasses, a fake snakeskin jacket and wore lipstick & eyeliner. Kristina was wearing a big black wig, a Guns n Roses t-shirt and black jeans. I could be bothered getting dressed up at all. We mostly sat around talking. Lauren, Diem and I were joking around quite a bit talking about random things. We watched her open her presents and she got quite some cool stuff. She really liked the lava lamp I got her. Adam has started calling me the Emily from the future, the Shadow something...(I can't remember what it was called) for some unknown reason.

I haven't really been doing much today. I woke up at eight o'clock and we gave Dad his Father's Day present. We didn't even go out to celebrate. I watched Love Actually which I taped a few night ago and that was a good two and half hours well spent. I put all of my Chemistry work into one file so now it is perfectly organised (something I should have done at the beginning of the year). I played fetch with Missy, using one of the stress balls Stephen picked up at Curtin.

I also add that Cbox onto this blog. Please feel free to leave comments on there or to just randomly chat.

Curtin with Car Dents

Listening to Bandoleros by Don Omar featuring Tego Calderon

Today is Missy's birthday. She has turned six (42 in dog years). Happy Birthday Puppy!

Today, Emily and I went to Curtin University.

We went to the new laboratory for Pharmacy that they completed last year, where I picked up information about the course and we listened to a lecture.

I wanted some chocolate so we went to a vending machine, where it ate my money.

We then went to the School of Psychology where Emily picked up some information. We walked upstairs and a student asked us if we were willing to spit into a cup to give her our DNA. She wanted to compare the DNA of people with autism and people without it. I was not willing to give my DNA, even though they didn't get our names, but Emily did.

We walked over to the health science building where we got free icecream and I found out that soft serve is better for you than normal icecream. We walked to the nutrition area, where we tried to identify 100% apple juice from 50%. We both got it wrong. In the Dental Therapy area, we watched people pretending to do fillings on dummies and we completed a quiz on dental health to win an electric toothbrush just for fun. Just for doing the quiz we got a dental pack with a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, chewing gum and floss.

We had lunch, where we saw Rebecca and Lauren and we went to the faculty of science tent where we were told about a mushroom which glows green in the dark.

There was so much there that we really didn't have enough time to see it all.

On the way home, a boy threw a piece of brick at our car. The hit was so loud it scared me. We turned around to see if anybody was there and then Dad drove to the backroads to see if he was hiding. The boy had left a small dent in the car door. It was so close to hitting Mum's window. When we were driving back, the boy was standing in the park holding a metal pipe, which he must have used to hit the piece of brick. Dad shouted out from the car to him and the look on his face was of such guilt it was funny, but we didn't have any proof that he did it.

Bowling and Mermaids

Listening to The Joker & the Thief by Wolfmother

John and I went bowling today at the last minute. I was so angry with myself because I could not bowl properly. I usually get a score over 100, but today I got 92 on the first game and 85 on the next. A few times I only hit one pin, only made two spares and got no strikes. We both played horrible games. John beat me the first time by three pins and I beat him the second time by quite a bit. My hands were getting so sweaty that the ball would slip out of my hand in the wrong way and would go to the side of the lane. I usually play bowling when I am using the end lanes, but today I played my first game in a middle which felt a little strange. The two games we played only lasted half an hour.

Afterwards we watched the pros play. They were awesome. Their strike rate to spare rate was very high and they had very good technique. The ball would have a spin on it that made the pins look like they were exploding. One of the guys had a bowling ball ball that looked like a soccer ball. I watched one guy make three strike in a row on the last set. When he made the first, his cheer squad were shouting, one more. When he got the second strike, they called one more again and he got it. It was amazing to watch.

Afterwards, John and I caught the bus back to my house where I burnt him a copy of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero but a LAN version so you can use Hamachi. He spent a lot of time talking to my Mum about random topics. We played ball with Missy and then put it into a sock, so it became a whole new game. I showed off Missy's skill in catching Yummies (her biscuits). Missy is really afraid of balloons so we decided to see what would happen if we put some of her Yummies into a balloon. When we put them in there, she started barking at the balloon like the balloon was hurting it or something. We blew up the balloon, she sniffed it, but she didn't want to pop it. John popped the balloon and the Yummies went flying everywhere like when you hit a pinata.

I watched the movie Mermaids today which is one of my favourite movies. It stars Cher. It is so strange because the 15? year old girl wants to be a nun and then has sex with the 26 year old caretaker at the convent next to their house. Interesting...
