Day 13 - Tomorrow is doomsday

Hi there and welcome to my little mind that's stressing out about tomorrows Business Law exam...

Obviously this is not going to be the best post but please bear with me during this tough tough time...

I have memorised the facts, decision and legal principles behind 34 different legal cases and I think I am about to explode!

But on the upside, 3 DAYS TILL I AM HOME!

When I get home, the first things I will do are as follows:

• Hug my family
• Hug the new baby puppies
• Check the fridge
• If its sunny, get my tan on... yay for summer!

And also, enjoy that beautiful Leeman sunset...

Sorry for the short post but that's all from me today! Wish me luck!

Day 11 - My love and appreciation for reality television

Hi there and welcome to my day.

Today like every other, I studied. I studied all day but with the little distraction of some reality television in the background!

I have a found love for Big Brother Australia right now and I am currently going back and watching what I have missed throughout the season. And I am so obsessed!

My favourite is Travis for the win! I don't think I could ever be a Big Brother contestant... I think I'd go insane! Which most of the housemates chosen to compete already are.

I don't know why, but it can be just so easy and entertaining to watch! And this isn't the only reality television series I watch religiously...

I have a couple of guilty pleasure TV confessions I have to make...

1. Dance moms

All time fave thing to watch EVER!

2. America's Next Top Model (any season)

Sometimes I'll randomly search any season online just for something to watch.

3. Toddlers and Tiaras

I know a lot of people don't agree with the idea of this show but I really do find it somewhat entertaining... Those diva tantrums...

And of course,

4. Keeping Up with the Kardashians 

Greatest reality series that has been going on since 2007! This show made me love the Kardashian/Jenner family and appreciate how hilarious they are!

All I need in life is trashy TV and peanut butter sandwiches and life is good...

What are your favourite reality television shows that I can become addicted to?

Day 10 - Annoying much?

Hi there and welcome to the things that really God damn annoy me.

Somedays I am more irritable than others but I have just been noticing these that can really truly tick me off! So I am going to share with you the things that really push my buttons because we all have them!

WAYS TO ANNOY EBONY

People honking their car horn at me or revving their car... YOU'RE NOT COOL!

Borrowing without asking

When your message is "seen" but no reply...

That stupid, stupid bird that keeps swooping me

When you sit down and don't realise there is no toilet paper before it's too late

People who think you will drop anything and change your plans to suit them

My hairs reaction to rain

When my mascara makes my eyelashes stick together

When I send kick-ass snapchat and no one even responds

People who are know-it-all's...

Imitation is NOT the best form of flattery, it's just annoying

When I run out of conditioner but still have plenty of shampoo left

So yes, I'm sure most people could relate to a majority of these annoying and unnecessary occurrences in day-to-day life.

Anyway, today I had very boring and lazy day, hence the post being unrelated to my daily experience. But I hope you guys had a good day and didn't have to endure any of these peeves of mine.

Day 7 - 1 down, 2 to go! I had a good day.

Hi there and welcome to my day that was good.

Not many people would think that the day of an exam can ever be a good day but mine was.

Here's the things that made my day a good one:

• It is my little brother's 10th birthday and he had a good day which made me happy.
• I put my textbooks up for secondhand sale so hopefully I'll get some good money which would make me happy.
• The lady at the secondhand shop was so nice and friendly which also made me happy.
• I went into my exam nerve-free, finished early and left confident which made me happy.
• I then caught up with my good friend, who I hadn't seen all semester, for dinner at Nandos which was  lovely and super yummy, so yeah, I was happy.
• My friend, Reene, told about a cookies and cream cheesecake by saying, "it is $6 of happiness and joy", so I bought it.
• I finally got home to a package from Beginning Boutique with my new Rhythm bikini top and I am so happy with my purchase!
• And it is only 9 days till I go home!

So you could say I had a pretty great day, but only because I focussed on the positives. I didn't dwell on the fact I got attacked AGAIN by the bird TWICE or that I arrived two hours early to my exam or that I am well over my fortnightly budget after dinner and cake.

But life is too short to be negative. 

So anyway, how was your day? I hope it was a good one.

Ugh, this post is so cheesy I could vomit... Haha

Comment below and let me know if you are having a good day, a bad day or an in-between day. We all have 'em!

P.S: just want to say it one more time, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC! Love ya

Day 6 - Pre-exam cram

Hi there and welcome to my day of pre-exam cramming.

I tried it all today folks! I studied inside, I studied outside, I created flash cards, I re-wrote notes, I answered review questions... Now all I can do is trust my efforts and turn up at the exam tomorrow.

Just the feeling of relief is going to be fabulous! This time tomorrow it will be 1 down, 2 to go.

My pre-exam rituals are just like every night, keeping the stress/anxiety levels down. Tonight I have had a lovely dinner and after I write this I am off for a shower before I cuddle into bed to watch a movie. An early night is important!

So is being organised. My Frankie Magazine Daily Journal is the cutest planner you will ever see which makes it more fun to be organised. Awesome gift this festival season. You can order them here. I hope Santa brings me one!

So I have decided tonights movie is going to be Divergent because I still haven't seen it! My little sister read all the books in about two days so I am assuming it is good? I'll let you know!

Oh and as well as my exam, it is also another birthday tomorrow! My little brother, Isaac, will be turning 10! Big ol' double digits! Wish I could be there buddy.

Anyway, I am off! Wish me luck!

And good luck for everyone else currently sitting exams, I feel for you!

Day 3 - Food on a student budget sucks

Hi there and welcome to another day of mine.

This morning I woke up and did a 45 minutes yoga session which I am feeling in my legs already! I live in a two story house so when I climb down those stairs it's a feeling of complete and total jelly-ness. It really is only a matter of time before I go face first...

Midday I had a bowl of rice cream and peaches for lunch and it was delish. Although it was yummy, I am so excited to be going back to my hometown in 13 days and enjoy my mum's cooking again! 

Personally, cooking for yourself is like one of the worst things about moving out of home. For example, look at this fresh seafood spread back at home!

 










Now try and do that on a student budget! Yeah, probably not...

So I have mentioned before how much I love the youtube community and through a couple of Hannah Hart videos I realised there was a movie featuring a handful of youtubers!

So I sat down to watch Camp Takota this afternoon which is a really sweet and funny movie. It features:

Hannah Hart (myharto)

Grace Helbig (itsgrace)

Mamarie Hart (mametown)

and Sawyer Hartman (sawyerhartman). 

It really made me giggle and smile so if you feel like watching a silly happy movie or love these youtubers, go watch Camp Takota!

Anyway, I am off to rewatch the entire series of Gossip Girl.

Day 2 - Dream interpretation

Hi there and welcome to my blog.

Today I was attacked AGAIN by the bird and it's really stressful knowing that every time I leave my house a bird is going to swoop and peck the sh*t outta my hair!

Anyway... I left the house for an eye appointment so I am now fully equipped with new seeing glasses, sunglasses and contact lenses. I loooove them all! Especially the contacts since I can now see everything even in my peripherals. Yay!

Thankfully this went smoothly because last night in my dream, the appointment didn't go so great... 

The 3 main things you need to know about my dream to get the gist:

1. I got to my appointment and there was thousands of people there pushing and shoving

2. I remembered that I forgot to wear my contact lenses to the appointment which was a MUST

3. I went to put them in my eye but they were SO big that they were just stabbing my eye lid

So when I woke up I thought, "lets get this interpreted!", because I never usually remember my dreams.

My best friend is really into all this dream interpretation and psychics and stuff so I like to give her the benefit of the doubt by using 

http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/

Aspect number 1: Appointment

"To dream that you are going to an appointment suggests that you need to be more goal-oriented. If you dream that you miss an appointment, then it indicates that you are not paying enough attention to some minor details and little things in life."

Aspect number 2: Pushing 

"To dream that you are pushed or being pushed suggests that you are being coerced into doing something. You are facing a lot of pressure. Alternatively, the dream implies that you do not have enough time to complete a task. You strive for perfection."

Aspect number 3: Contact lenses

"To see or wear contact lens in your dream suggests that you need to focus on the task at hand. You need to pay closer attention to a situation before acting on it. If you have difficulties putting on your contact lens in your dream, then it indicates that you are having trouble paying attention."

First of all, I like to think I am a very goal-oriented person, thank-you very much! Secondly, these claims are so far-reaching it's almost ridiculous... 

Although, the part about having trouble paying attention in my life is currently totally relatable...

But yes, if you wanna share your dreams or stories about contact lenses or suggestions on how to GET RID OF THIS GOD DAMN BIRD, please, please comment!

See you tomorrow!
