Day 17 - My very productive day. RIP Phillip Hughes xxx

Hi there and welcome to my day of housework and graduation preparation!

I had a very early start today at 5.30am to head out on the ocean to catch some lobsters! We caught 4 in total which will make a very very lovely dinner. Today was the first time I had ever been out that far in the ocean and the water was just gorgeous... A clear deep blue just like the movies...

After that I sent everyone off to work and school and took on the role as housekeeper. I completed the following chores:

• a mount everest of dishes
• three loads of washing
• tending to the puppies/dogs
• ironed 28 seat covers for my sister's graduation
• and over all tidied up

I am an angel daughter...

It is my little sister's graduation from primary school tomorrow! So I lending a helping hand in setting it all up today in the theme of 'fire and ice' and it looks pretty great!

My sister, Mae, it pretty pumped for her graduation! We tested out some hair styles and it is so unfair because she has THEE most amazing hair ever... She is going to look so fantastic tomorrow! 

I'll definitely be posting pictures, so stay tuned!

I also got a job today as a bartender which will be interesting... But we shall see how it goes I guess!

Lastly, I want to mention that I love cricket. And today was an extremely sad day for the cricket world with the passing of 25 year old, Phillip Hughes. Such a tragic loss of someone so young and so passionate. 

Rest in peace Hughes.

Day 12 - I was having a productive day until...

Hi there and welcome to my productive day that quickly turned into my first ever international football game experience!

So today was a house keeping day for me (to begin with).

I was in desperate need for groceries and with only 4 days left in Perth, it seems pointless to buy lots! So my final food supply is:

• Milk
• Tea
• 3 x Bananas
• Salt and vingar shapes
• Fish fingers
• Alfredo pasta

My student food survival pack: $12.89

So there I was... Doing washing, cleaning dishes, tidying up, doing groceries and getting study done...

When all of a sudden my friend, Sarah, rings and offers me a ticket to go to Australia versus Ireland International Rules Football game!

Sarah: "So what are you doing right now?"

Me: "Studying and watching Big Brother."

Sarah: "Do you want to be studying?"

Me: "I probably should be but I don't really want to..."

Sarah: "Well I have a spare ticket to the footy tonight..."

Me: "YEP!"

International rules follow the rules of gaelic football which both Sarah and I were extremely unfamiliar with... But we definitely got used to it more as the game went on. I actually really enjoyed watching this kind of football!

The atmosphere was really amazing! A lot more Irish people than I thought there would be, which explained the super massive lines to the bar... Haha just kidding, I love you Ireland!

An enthusiastic group of guys in the crowd to our right started a HUGE Mexican wave, like the biggest I have ever seen. MASSIVE! It circled the stadium at least six times before security stopped it because people were throwing cups and beer and all sorts of things in the air... I wouldn't want to be the one to clean that up afterwards... Take a look at the video!

So yeah, I ended up having a fabulous day so, THANK YOU SARAH! Now I really need to get my butt into gear and get prepared for these exams... They're very close now and I am getting more and more nervous...

Oh well! They have to be done I guess! Hope you guys had a good day.
