Hello again blog!

Lately I’ve been kind of busy occupying my time trying to get various jobs done.  I think I’ve done pretty well so far but I thought I’d stop to take a small break and update my blog. This past weekend has been so hot! I’m surprised I haven’t melted. On Saturday I went into town, and it was super busy and super hot. I just got my money in my bank account, and ended up buying a few things but I’m trying hard to stick to my budget lately and save up. I took a quick webcam picture of my new dress however, ‘cause I think it’s super pretty! There was only one left and it’s actually a size bigger than the size I need but it has an elasticated back and adjustable straps so it fits just fine!

I also got this super cute hello kitty set with a cup and plates and stuff. I swear, when I move out I’ll be totally set as far as cute kitchen equipment goes! 

Other stuff I got that isn’t pictured is some make up (I wanted a new blusher) an anime DVD of 5cm per second which was super cheap and something I wanted to see anyway, and some yummy natural mint and cucumber shower gel stuff. I never usually buy that stuff but I felt like treating myself! Another thing I’ve been doing lately is sitting around and looking awesome with natural yogurt on my face. Why? Because it’s amazing for lessening skin redness, soreness, moisturizing, and a bunch of other stuff.  It’s basically a natural miracle. On that note, everyone interested in beauty stuff or hilarious comedy videos should go check out bubz:  here!

One more thing I must mention is the cute ducklings! The houses around here are right in front of a river and pond area and so adorable ducks constantly waddle over to our front doors and wait to be fed. It’s really cute but we didn’t realize that one of the ducks would eventually make a nest around here! Two weeks ago the mother duck made a nest right next to the front door opposite us, nestled next to the bins. Just yesterday the eggs finally hatched and we had the most adorable baby ducklings waddling around the car park! Luckily everyone looked out for them and today they went back to the pond safely. I think all my neighbours are sad to see them go, but they should come back next year. I took a video to capture the moment, and here it is!

[I still haven’t managed to fix the problem that causes me to not be able to comment on other people’s blogs using my account! I assume it’s some sort of setting on my new laptop that’s preventing it but I haven’t had much time to sort it out just yet.]

[EDIT: I'm having trouble commenting on other blogs. I write my comment, select that I want to use my Google account, press post comment, and get sent to the log in screen. I log in, and I'm sent back to the comment, and then I press send, and get sent back to log in again, and the comment never posts! Anyone else having this problem?]

It's official- I've been BlogSlacking. But! I have excuses aplenty, and they're very valid. Over the past month or so, I've moved out of my bedroom, got new furniture, moved back into my bedroom, had a college interview, and an 18th birthday. I have thought about posting during all this, but my head has just been elsewhere.

As far as the college interview goes, I have an unconditional place, and will be starting in September. Am quite looking forward to it but I'm very nervous- the campus is quite big, and I only know two other people, one of which is usually going to be on placement and not actually in college, and the other I don't regularly speak to. Still, I'm sure I'll meet some new people and it should be fun once I get there and get over the initial nervousness.

My birthday went well too- I got lots of cool presents, including the laptop I'm currently writing this blog on, an amazing pink ukulele with Lisa Simpson on it (although I did want a SpongeBob one, waa!), some hair straighteners, a Viviene Westwood necklace and a bunch of other cool stuff. I went with my mum,  aunt, my cousin and her fiance to Starbucks in the morning, then later on my mum took me to this super posh hotel place for fancy afternoon tea, which I really enjoyed considering my obsession with tea parties and the like. I took some snapshots of the decor because I was majorly impressed.

                                             Here's a shot of me and my mum.

                                                           Aaaand me and my cousin.

Here I am outside the hotel.

It was a good day. Also, this weekend me and a few friends went out for a kind of post-birthday meal thing. Here are a few required bathroom shots. I look kind of amused because about three minutes earlier I accidentally pulled the soap dispenser off the wall...o.o

As the day went on I began to notice that my birthday had a Hello Kitty theme!

As I walked in my living room I saw this...

And here's my cake! ^_^

I had a really fun birthday, and now I have no more excuses I can get back to my regular blog posts!
