Cutting Class...*oops* plus Ice Skating and New Goodies!

Well Thursday I was meant to be going into the MedLab for some tests on my Palates - the stuff that makes you blood clot since my bleeding time takes well over 20 mins to clot. I was to go to Uni after having these tests done but ended up not going in the end - the night before I was just soooo mentally and emotionally drained. These assessments and assignements are doing my head in, I havent had time to stop and think about me as its Uni,/Work, Uni/Work, Uni/Work...its never ending, though with most of our staff members back at work now and my boss taking on more people Ive had my hours cut back....I know one of my Co Workers wants me to ask for more shifts but Im not in the mood for doing so...ive asked before and I havent gotten anything...if anything ive got a cut back in hours...I had another co worker text me asking if i can work them and I havent even replied because Im just not in the mood to work this week - so even though it means I will have little to no money next week thats ok I guess I have time to get these assessments started and completed - if only I understood the work...

Anyway...

I texted my friend Claire telling her I wasnt going into Uni and she asked if i was going to join her, Julia and Lisa...so I said yes...she came and picked me up and we went over to Scrapbook Studio in Mt Wellington where we met up with Julia...I was going to buy me some Fiskars Papaer but put it back...as I didnt want to spend my money..knowing I had bills to pay, petrol to get...and my board going out in the weekend...so instead I just shoved stuff in each of my friend's baskets for them to buy for things they were/are working on - Im good like that i know...I know where to find things sometimes...haha.

From here we went to Sylvia Park - this is a big mall that ive watched go from the ground up....When Roberto was working for his dad's steel company and I was fresh out of Tech and didnt have a job - well I did but they had cut my shifts and didnt tell me why.....I went with him on deliveries....so use to go past it alot - they also supplied all the steel for it. ANYWAY - we went and had lunch everyone felt bad because I didnt have anything to eat and tried giving me money which i turnt down...it was really a matter of I didnt want to spend my money and the fact that I have a UDED - with only 3kgs to get to my target goal weight...which I may increase to 10kgs...but anyway.....

I ended up getting soem cake and a hot chocolate to make them quiet...plus I have my tradition now of taking photos of my food and hot chocolates when I go out with friends...hahaha...dont ask me why...I guess its a whole lets make a scrapbook page out of this!

We got Lisa a wheelchair because she is awaiting surgery on her foot....and we ended up being like a bunch of kids....I swear I was the ring leader - somehow the things they said I ended up thinking they said something dirty...like Julia saying "Cotton on Kids" (its a kids clothing store) to which I said 'Did you just say Condom?!" hahaha....it was just full of laughs....

I had a good night at work on Thursday - my boss found a love letter Matt wrote on Tuesday and pretended it was from Tim haha...its made up of a whole pile of song quotes ive worked out....and here was my boss reading it and looking at me and myself in fits of laughter....I ended the night with a prank call to my Brother in England, who answered so had a little convo with him....it was great..

I had a pretty similar day on Friday - where Shane told me he was going Ice Skating and me thinking hehehe how gay of him....(he's bi) and he said I should go sometime....so I jumped at the chance of spending time with one of my best friends that I dont get to spend much time with. I went off to the Spencer on Byron for a meeting with a manager for one of my assessments (that i havent started yet :s) and it was off to work for a Wine Tasting session with Geoff Mural Wines which I missed but dont really care...I did get given a bit of Red Wine....my first time having it...and the whole time i though of Roberto and how much he likes a glass of red....I think I had a Shyraz - I didnt like it much.....but then I dont have a palate yet for Wine...though one of my Co Workers did share her glass of wine with me the other night - Kim Crawford Pinot Gris...it was actaully rather nice and fruity and I didnt get that burning after taste I get with wine...

I ended Friday night at Ice Skating, it was great - though Im in alot of pain now...Its not as easy as I thought it was and as it looks on TV and stuff. But I started to get the hang of it. Shane was boosting my confidence during the night as well as showing off - he has got 3 months experience on top of me...I noticed towards the end of the night he would be skating backwards facing me away from the wall in aid of me following him....And I didnt fall down once....which I think is good for my first time on the ice....though its not something I will be doing again anytime soon with so much work on with Uni....Shane goes three times a week...
