Awkward and Awesome

Awkward:
  • My economics class. Just in general. It sucks.
  • Having a sore toe and knee, on the same leg. Major limp.
  • Even worse, not knowing why either of these parts were sore.
  • Some guy sitting next to me on the bus, whom I have been introduced to before, but I forgot his name. So we just sat there, pretending we didn't recognise each other. Or at least I did.


Awesome:
  • The '80s mix top 500 that's been playing on radio all week. All the Classics.
  • Getting a distinction for my Summer School course
  • Cheap but pretty underwear
  • Finally, a stereotypical American college style jumper with Boston instead of NYC or California. Well worth the $15.
  • Picking up an extra shift on Saturday. In fitting rooms.
  • Work dinner last Friday. So much fun, despite the terrible R&B music.

Awkward & Awesome Thursday

Awkward:
  • Going to the bank, withdrawing money, then getting your transaction receipt which states that you currently have a zero balance. *panic ensues*
  • Unilife selling out of the second hand text books you need for this semester
  • $100 uni text books. Not some much awkward as annoying/infuriating/depressing
  • Sickly pale skin. I went to the bathroom at uni, and was meet with a pale, sick looking face in the mirror. When I am not even sick?
  • Trying to talk to my Mum on the phone while in the uni computer pool. I was trying not to disturb everyone else/not give them anything to eavesdrop on, that I may have came across abrupt to Mum, like I didn't really want to be on the phone to her. Not true. I like talking to you on the phone. Even if we do live in the same house and will see each other in the next couple of hours.
  • Work dinner next Friday. Not entirely comfortable with the idea of socialising with the work girls. And I don't mean that in a snarky way, more in a I can actually be quite shy and unsocial. Notice unsocial, not anti-social.  I like to socialise. Just with small amounts of people. And preferably with my friends next to me. For backup.
  • Stomach aches. Actually this isn't awkward. This just plain old sucks.
Awesome:
  • Getting a distinction for my Summer School major assignment. Happy!
  • My tutor for Travel & Tourism. She is giving us so much help and opportunities to draft assignments and exam questions, that she may as well just hand us the answers.
  • Almost enjoying work tonight. Almost.
  • Half plans to see Hall Pass next week.
  • Pretty new green quilt cover. Makes my room look more like a 22 year olds and less like a 14 year olds. Progress.
  • Matching green sheets. Although the low thread count does mean they were a little bit scratchy at first. (I'm skint, so I went for the $13 180tc over the $26 250tc)

Awkward and Awesome

AWKWARD
  • Tripping. You know that weird little trip you do when the imaginary gremlins trip you on the footpath? I've done it. Twice today. Twice today.
  • The guy sitting behind me in our lecture yesterday. He had breathing issues. Snorting (loudly) through the entire lecture is mighty distracting/annoying.
  • Being told by the bouncer last night that I look different with my hair up [my hair is down on my id]. I wasn't sure if I should be concerned that he meant that he was insinuating that my id was fake, or to just take it as a complement...
AWESOME
  • Phoenix concert was on Monday. Pretty good.
  • Andrew McMahon acoustic set last night. AMAZING. INCREDIBLE. THIS MAN IS A GENIUS.
  • Dinner & Movies last Saturday with my girls. We saw No Strings Attached.
  • No Strings Attached. I really liked it, despite my aversion of all things Natalie Portman.
