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.

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 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.
