Beware of the bunny
This layout features Cuddles from Happy Tree Friends. Go watch the flash file >=D I promise the show is lots of fun *laughs evilly*
=3 They bought me a digital camera~ XD A 4megapixel Nikon Coolpix (4300), whaaaaa that was surprising *___*;; I've been taking pictures of everything. Go see the photo folder. I took pictures of all the thingies they brought back, as well as my doggy, fishies and my room XD It's so easy to use la. I love it to bits *_______*
The new Shinhwa CD turned out to be perfect man. so shall I mail it to Kins? =3 There is a BoA CD if Nahnah wants it and does Mattie want Garnet Crow (singles collection)? Mum brought back 3 CDs I already own ^^;
Mum is huggling me and being all proud because I was offered that job at the lab ^^; She keeps talking about how she's so happy. If the US section doesn't approve it though it's gone ._.''' Other people seem happier about it than I am. Mary fears the responsibility.
I'm so thankful I didn't do Pharmacy. Oh so very thankful ;_; I had 2 lectures in pharmacokinetics this week and I already hate it with a passion. *kicks notes* *kicks medical handbook* So incredibly boring -_-
Mycology on the other hand provided the most interesting lectures and pracs I've ever had in Uni. Too bad those stories about lab workers dying scared the life out of me or I'd have considered going in that direction ^^; Myco was a lot of fun, but it generally consisted of the lecturer telling us something then showing a disgusting picture to drive the point home XD;; Yesterday we saw a person who'se skin had been eaten away by a fungus n_n It was like that x-files picture that scared me half to death the other week. Except, when I see it in a clinical setting it does not scare me. It's just when you put it on tellie with poor lighting and freaky music. XP; I never came close to falling asleep during any of the myco lectures.
I'm stuck on Vagrant Story =[ I don't know where to make Ashley run
Aaaah. I've washed the dishes, wiped up and cleaned the floor. The kitchen is cleaner than when Mum left *______* I can see the table for the first time in 2 weeks.
Reading GTO is making my sides hurt from laughing XDDD It's been so long since I read books 1 to 3 and now that I have 4 to 6 I'm reading it all again XDDD GTO is one of very few manga that literally make me fall over laughing ^^;
Hmmm I've been reading over the enterprise agreement for work. I didn't blog about it before, but there are pay issues that MA and I are going to be fighting with management about. I have to figure out how to do it ^^; MA very kindly photocopied the whole thing for me and we sat about talking about it at Uni today. D has said she will back us up all the way so *crosses fingers* =X
I didn't even know what an enterprise agreement was until yesterday >_>;;; I won't clutter up the blog with with anymore job related crap today, there is much I did not say la.
I have so many things on my mind right now =_=; As if exams weren't enough, my group at uni is falling to pieces because some new fight has broken out. It happened somewhere in between the hours of 2:30pm and 5pm on Monday afternoon during Histopath prac....... the day I had to go to work and skip out on the group O_< I thought K would be ok after my outburst, but apparently after I was gone P used it as an opportunity to antagonise her and all has fallen apart since. P won't stop talking about it. She goes round and round and round and round irrationally. And the pair are hurling insulting emails at each other on a daily basis.
I'm in deep sh*t, there is only 2 weeks to go before we have to present our paper as a group, and we will only meet each other again once (Monday) before we do it. If these two can't be civil I'm going to have to write the bloody thing with just Vachan and I O_<; Oh. And now, because Vachan got sick of P talking about K 24hours a day she stopped listening, and P got pissed.
So now P and Vachan aren't talking either. I've become a freaking message relay girl.
All the other group work has been so pleasant up to now. With other groups we get together a few times, allocate work and put it all together. So easy. With Histopath it's been hellish =_=; Maybe I'm exaggerating.........
no. it's been hellish.
But good news now '_' I only have to work 2 days next week! I gave one shift to MA beccause I did one of hers last week, so Tuesday is completely free for me to study ^_^~~~ And I've had my last ever haematology and Biochemistry lectures this week. And my Tamarket order came with all my manga~~~~~ =D And I went to borders and they had Dragon Knights 3 and GTO 4, which I hadn't been able to get off Tamarket~~~~~ There's enough manga at home to last me a month now ^_^~~ And the mycology lecturer gave everyone in class a box of smarties for doing our homework~~~
Tomorrow is my last day living alone. Parents back on Sunday morning with presents =3 I have to clean up the bombsite kitchen tomorrow night.
Um. yes. I got news about the job today. It's good news O_o Previously the jobs available were a technical officer and a scientist one. But D says she couldn't decide who would get the TO job and who would be a scientist. So now...... There are just 2 full time scientist jobs O_o She's offered me one and MA the other. MA will look after plate reading and I will look after..... uhhhh. Lots of things ^^; Jhones reporting, footrot, PCR, blah. So reports that we send out will have our names on them n_n This is what has been approved by the australian section of the laboratory anyway. It still has to be shoved at the Americans for approval. If it doesn't go through...... I guess D has to rethink everything XD;
I'm supposed to be really really happy. But, actually, what I'm scared of is that I'll be eaten alive by the Jhones customers. They're not very nice n_n; Also there will be people in the lab who aren't happy that MA and I who are relatively now suddenly become scientists. I have to speak up =X D says she's worried about me because I'm reserved, but that she believes I can do it so she's offering the job to me.
Um. It also means that M didn't get the scientist job.... uh. In MA's words to D "M's not going to like us anymore!". And as the Jhones scientist she will be under my care n_n;; I'm sure I can smooth it over la. I'm going to achieve the impossible during my 10 months as a scientist in micro >=D I AM GOING TO MAKE HER COME BACK FROM LUNCH ON TIME!
Um, anyway. Those are the plans =X But if the Americans don't approve it (they're trying to cut costs), I'm back to square one again ^^; You know what tho? T_T If I get it, it means Mary staying in Adelaide for another 10 months and not moving to Melbourne until next year. it is advantageous for me to get some experience as a scientist rather than a TO before I apply in Vic for jobs though =X It should help me pick up something better later. It also means no leave after exam period, so no trip to melbourne. Straight after exams is a full month of very intensive training X_x
Also, my Lord of the Rings ring arrived today =D I'm very happy ya, it's hanging from a chain around my neck already ^___^ The seller even sent an Arwen bookmark along with it =3
Mum just called me and said she found all the CDs I asked for ^______________^ Except Jay Chow. For some reason the shops in malaysia and shanghai are apparently devoid of Jay Chow CDs ^^;;; She also said she got a "new shinhwa album". Is there a new album I haven't heard about? =X Maybe it's the Japanese album: "Perfect". Or did she buy me another copy of Perfect Man ^^; I already have that one la. Kins, if I get another copy of Perfect Man you can have it =D;; She says she has some things I did not ask for, but won't tell me what, so I will have to wait until Sunday to find out '_';
i can't wait for them to come home la. I'm tired of having to leave uni at 2pm in order to get home then go to work on time ^^; Usually Mum will pick me up and take me to work so I can leave at 3 or 3:30 and get some reseach done. I'm getting very very low on time now =X I've lost some weight from walking up the hill from my bus stop everyday though ^^; It takes a while, but I still can't see how people make the comparison of walking up the hill to practically climbing a cliff though. You people just have weak legs >=D or in N's case..... a weak car.
They're still deciding on who gets the scientist and TO positions at the lab *frowns* this is taking so long. It's getting annoying. D keeps babbling to me everyday about why she can't tell me yet ^^; She's decided, but maybe they don't like her choice? While they decide I sit around waiting before I can apply for other jobs =[ They seem to be talking to the big important american people about it >_>; MA keeps saying that she hopes, she gets one position and I get the other XD lol
I got my biochemistry assignments back! =D I got High distinction for the precis (worth 5%), the group talk (worth 20%) and the case study (worth 5%). WHOOOHOOO XD That means I only need another 20% to pass...... I'm so relieved O_O Biochemistry exam is not something I look forward to at all. I hope he marks the exam as easily as he marked those assignments.
O_O I fell asleep writing my thrombosis essay *wipes away sleepy drool* you can see a big black line and what I was writing when it happened. Funny. I don't remember falling asleep ^^; I went to sleep on the bus this morning as well =_=;;; I got off a stop later than I'm supposed to.
Do you know that if you take one of those cheap plastic BIC ball point pens and stick the end into a fire (in my case a bunsen burner) it catches fire like a candle? If you hold it there long enough to burn in this fashion is melts down to the bottom within a few minutes and really looks just like a candle......
Stinks though. There was no work at work today. I had a pen and I was bored out of my mind, i was just going to melt the end and shape it...... ^^;;; I'm turning into a pyro, just like my brother......
...... and my leave wasn't approved. They're shifting the timetables around to accomodate MA and I, but we still have to work one day a weel. *sigh* If I go to work and have red eyes and haven't brushed my hair or washed my face, and generally look like hell....... They're been prewarned :D
Haha, one day a week huh. I suppose it's ok, but I really wish I didn't have to. I'm suddenly working 4 days this week too =_=;; MA asked me if I could cover her shift this evening because she had a meeting to attend.
I'm dying under the weight of uni. 3 exams in 3 days, what horrible person decided that?
I cracked a spaz at K today X_____x Really really cracked at her. She won't look me in the eye anymore. She talks to me, but she fiddles with other things and looks into space. But I just get so AAAAAAANGRY at her! She's so bossy and seems to delight in acting like she knows everything and you know nothing X_x And if she makes a mistake she blames it on you. She was taking over the histo group project but I'll bloody well be damned if I let her.
She's always rejecting all our research and only wants to use her own X__X She told Vachan today that all the articles she found were useless and pretty much threw them to the side (AGAIN). AND I GOT SO ANGRY. I pretty much yelled at her in the cafe and rebutted her all over the place......... and people who know me. You know I don't do that O_< I'm usually quiet and will go along with people, even if I disliek them. But I really...... ARGH, I just cracked, she pisses me off so much! O_< She's always cutting me off when I talk, and debunking everyone elses input. She doesn't look after other people's stuff either O_X She just takes without asking and then when you get it back it's in crappy condition. She's making Vachan so miserable (She complains to me, but she's too nice to say anything to K. She just stands far away.... I've never seen her so miserable), and P so angry (she keeps making snide remarks). So i end up being the one listening to her and discussing things. I've put up with it quietly since July but I just can't stand it anymore XO
um....... so I'm the bad person who has taken over the group project now. I head the meetings :D;; P is so proud. Better sort out all Vachan and P's journal articles again.
[I do feel bad that I made her so scared of me tho' X_x; I took away all her steam, and I doubt very much she ever expected such a thing from the quietest member of the group. I've never done that to anyone before. Vent. I really needed to vent.]
Mary got Chu Chu Rocket for $17! Yay =D And Novacaine has been updated. New mp3s, sungaholics blah. I have been reasonably good today, I even cleaned up my bombsite of a room. The kitchen looks too horrible to tackle right now tho' =_=;;
Ooooh. Guess what I saw when I was walking home today? A peacock! There's a peacock walking around in my suburb. X_x Did it escape from the zoo or something? I haven't heard anything about zoo breakouts =X It was wandering around on the front lawn of my neighbor's house. Blah, that's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. Very pretty tho' ^^;
<_> My eyes......... they burn. I'm at Uni again early on a Sunday morning to do research. BLEH, stupid haematology project can just bugger off.
Whoohoo, Tokyopop have picked up 4 new manwha (stop calling it "kanga" Kuya ^^;)! Wai~ wai~ I wonder if they are as good as Island? But...... is it just me, or are all the manwha being translated into english the super violent fantasy ones? Curtis comics are also translating quite a few titles, but all boy comics =X Won't someone translate Full House or Audition? After hearing Reko talk about them I want to read those ;_;
I feel a sudden urge to watch Trigun again '_' Love and peace! XD Love and peace! XD Love and peace! XD
Cold cold cold. It's so cold in the computer pools here.
Nothing is growing on my fungus plate =X We have a week long experiment for Mycoplasmas, we had to swab our foot and then plate it onto a fungus plate..... but mine isn't growing anything! Grrrr. It's good and bad in a way. Good because.... there's no fungus on my foot. Bad because..... I'll have nothing to do my experiment on next friday X_x *stares at plate and wills things to grow* i should have run outside barefoot before I swabbed. They said 60 or 70% of us should grow something. if I'm in the minority I will have to steal someone elses fungus ._.
Does anyone really give a damn when I post about work or Uni? XD;;;; No, I didn't think so *stares at plate* GROOOOOOW
