Looking 12

Some ways I've been ''complimented' for looking young.

I don't want your boyfriend

During the final years of high school I moved to a different schools with three people from my previous school. Since it was a new school (we were the guinea pigs), everyone was the new kid; so it was nice to know a couple people. 

One guy, I rarely saw and pretty much didn't talk to. We had only one class together, which was the first and last. He seemed nice enough.

I got along with one of them pretty well since we had all the same classes, therefore the same timetable. He kind of became my walking timetable and homework diary for two years. We also coincidentally went to the same maths tutoring after school, so I saw a lot of this kid.

The last person, the other girl that moved with me, she just gave me the bitch face every time I tried to say hi to her. I wanted to be nice and since we all didn't know many people I cheerily said hi to her every time I saw her - until I decided that she had some unknown problem and I was too scared to keep talking to her willingly.

A year later (at graduation) I found out that when person 3 was going out with person 2 (this is in fresher year) there was a rumour that person 2 was cheating on her with me. Also I found out she went around telling people that she would kill me and other things. It wasn't my fault that the school gave us the exact same timetable, so yes I was seen talking to her then boyfriend pretty much all the time - ABOUT SURDS AND PHYSICS HOMEWORK. 


Just to straighten this out (extremely late); WOMAN I WOULDN'T TOUCH THAT BOY WITH A STICK. . .. .. .






we could have been friends. . . :(

Stress

Since it's the first week of university (or week 7 if you are a med kid .. . SUCKER . .  .. . .  yes I'm actually jealous  of you . .. WHY WASN'T I SMART??) , I thought I would post a stress related post.

I sing a lot, anywhere and everywhere. Anything, but mostly about what I'm doing at the moment.
Can I sing well? That's debatable.

Anyway I realised that there is one song that I always sing when I'm stressed.





Yes it's the cottees cordial song.

It goes on ....

My mum knows that I 

Need lots of water

But it's Cottee's Cordial 

That I like best. 

So My mum 

Adds the fun

And the flavour

To make the cordial 

that I like best.

Kids need water

Cottee's makes it fun

She makes the cordial 

that I like best.

Did I just recite the lyrics of the cottee's cordial jingle? Yes I did. BAM
And I know you're singing it now as well . . .





probably not.

Types of Travellers

When going on a holiday with people, for everyone's sake, you should probably know what kind of traveller you are and what kind of traveller they are. Incompatibility can result in exhaustion, annoyance, frustrations, and it you are travelling with girls endless grudges. 

1. The "Korean" Traveller. 

These people are the ones that want to get the most out of their time away. This results in them jam packing absolutely everything you can do in the shortest amount of time possible. If you are dying to see every landmark and do everything you can do, this type of travelling is good as you definitely won't waste time or airfares. But even just thinking about it makes me exhausted. 

2. The "Adventurous/Lost" Traveller

These people have no plans at all. In a way the opposite for the "Korean" Traveller. They just arrive at the train station and get on the first train without knowing where it stops. It is , I think, the most exciting way to travel. However there is a high risk factor involved. This type of travelling can be very expensive for getting lost in the middle of the woods. But you may discover something that no one else will see. It helps to not be directionally and geographically challenged. 

3. The "I'm not a traveller" Traveller

These people decided that they will not go through the shame of being a tourist, but in the end act the most like an annoying tourist anyway. They ditch the prescribed course of sight seeing, instead opting to attempt to be more 'local' and live there like they are at home. While you may  feel like a local and make friends along the way, you are very likely to not do much with their time and be stamped as time wasters by other holiday people. As an "I'm not a traveller" Traveller , you the most likely to do stupid things and talk to randoms as logic says you'll never see these people again. 

Marathons

Over lunch, my friend told me about this 80 year old grandma that ran a marathon.

Friend :  Isn't it amazing? She just started training a couple years ago and ran a whole marathon because she wanted to.

Me: A whole marathon? I wish I could do that.

Friend: Yeah, me toop. I hope when I'm 80 I could do something like that.

Me: No, I wish I could run a marathon now.


I know what a bad story to tell while eating food.
Okay I probably definitely need to spend more time standing than sitting , and probably moving. Thinking about it my Grandma used to play this game that involved running with a really heavy bat stick thing when she was in her 80s. I guess I didn't get that fitness gene. I can't catch a ball no matter how you throw it at me.

People from Sydney

Every year the university holds a multi cultural day. This means we get stands selling Asian food and for some reason an Australian wild life display. 


While most of my friends are from Queensland like me, a couple of my friends came interstate from Sydney to come to uni. That day I found out one of the many ways Queenslanders are different from the kids from the big city. 


One of the animals the wildlife people (I think from Currumbin Sanctuary, I can't count how many times I've been there on my fingers) brought was a baby possum or something like that. 


This is the possum:

This is a comparison of us:

Three Little Pigs

Who's laughing now?

If I was a boy

My friends reckon they have found the male version of me.



BTW new post every Wednesday!
