Day 16 - Eventful travels home

Hi there and welcome to the day I finally got to go home!

I was packed and ready to go by 11am this morning. My mum arrived at about 11.30am and being the gorgeous daughter I am, I made her a coffee. 

We then went off for some shopping but headed straight to the food court for some lunch. After wandering past every possible option, we decided on some stuffed baked potatoes... mmmm...

As we lined up to order, an alarm sounded. 

*EMERGENCY! PLEASE EVACUATE*

My initial reaction was, "aw what?! But I'm hungry and I want a baked potato..."

But we listened to the advice of the big loud alarm and went outside the shopping centre to get wok in a box instead... Which was delish!

After all the chaos subsided from what we assumed was a kitchen fire, we went back in to get some essential shopping done for my little sister's primary school graduation.

In the meantime, the weather was WILD! It was 34 degrees with lightening, rain and apparently hail. Up north in a town called Eneabba, near my hometown, the lightening was particularly bad with a number of fires erupting around the area. 

And as it turns out, my siblings were doing swimming lessons at Eneabba at the time! But everyone is safe and the school and some residents were evacuated. I hope everyone is and remains safe and sound!

But eventually I got home to the most gorgeous little puppies! Making our eventful day all worth it! Oh and my family... Hahah love you guys.

So happy to be home!

Day 15 - Finished my first year of university!

Hi there and welcome my final day at as first year uni student!

My day started with a little sleep in and then some breakfast. I roamed downstairs in my pjs and was welcomed by a couple of strangers in our downstairs bathroom!

I forgot the maintenance people were paying a visit today, oops! Good morning!

I spent the rest of my day cramming for my psychology exam. I really enjoy psychology so I feel as though it is easy to study for and I find it really easy to understand. So the cram session was very successful...

Throughout the day I also made it my mission to finish all of my remaining food in the house and I am proud to say, the only things that belong to me in the fridge currently is milk and a jar of pickles!

Impressive, right? I never leave leftovers...

So my exam was in the stadium on the far opposite of campus from my house and it was 35 degrees. When I was halfway there, I actually contemplated taking a break from walking, but I powered on! 

I entered at 5:25pm

Started reading time at 5:30pm

Commenced my exam at 5:40pm

FINISHED at 6:45pm

HOORAY!

I walked home with a little spring in my step knowing that I had just completed the first year of my degree! I had all the feelings of accomplishment, relief and happiness.

And then I realise... 4 more years of this! Sh*t! 

Haha nah, but for now I am so glad I can reset over summer at home with my family. Which I think is exactly what I need right now.

I celebrated the completion of my exams with my housemate, Yunita, by watching Big Brother and eating KFC. Thanks Yunita!

Anyway, I am off to finish packing... HOME TOMORROW! Au revior!

Day 14 - 1 exam to go and then HOME!

Hi there and welcome to one of my final days in Perth!

So this mornings exam went very smoothly... It went for three hours and was really quite hard! I felt as though I went really well and I am confident that I passed. So, yay!

Just one more left, foundations of psychology tomorrow afternoon! Not stressing for that one... yet...

Anyway, after the exam I ran some errands. On my way home, two cheerful guys riding around uni campus on large tricycles gave me a Chupa Chup and said, "good luck with your exams!"

It made my day so, thank you Chupa Chup guys!

I returned home safely with no bird attacks which was a lovely change and spent some time unwinding after unloading my brain in the exam.

I decided to start packing for home! Because in case you haven't noticed, ONLY TWO MORE DAYS!

I started with the essentials:

• clothes
• clothes
• more clothes
• swimwear
• gossip girl series (mum and I are having a marathon)
• hats
• toothbrush
• and some more clothes (we all need options)

So I haven't quite finished yet but I think I have made a good start! I like to think I have gotten quite good at packing after the years at boarding school and whatnot... 

I kind of enjoy packing because it (usually) means you are going somewhere new/different which I think is exciting! Yay for summer holidays!

Where are you packing for this summer?

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.
