o.m.g. i have actually scrapped recently!!


in my shoes....i took a photo of my runners this time last year when i was using them all the time. they are still in my touch footy bag, and the season ended seven weeks ago.....ooh la la! a photo of the moulin rouge that my sister took when she went to europe in 2007.
exam anxiety.....a sketch on young scrap birds, telling the tale of exam stress. the little snail is telling us that we'll be fine, and we were!


and i found a heap of photos of when my mum and dad were younger (read: childless), and one photo is of my mother at my current age, and she's as skinny as me! the other one that cracked me up is the one of my dad at my age as well, with such a big bushy beard. apparently this was a dare that involved him not shaving for 12 months....that he stupidly made in an october before a hot summer (rarely heard of in victoria at the time), so very funny.

on monday, i accompanied two of my friends to the doctors lounge at the hospital that i'm based at for my clinical teaching. we sat down in a corner and had a good girly chat about their boy issues.....

and thats when we discovered that i don't have any of these issues.

now, don't get me wrong, being single not a big deal to me, but i guess it does get a lil tedious hearing of their issues without having an input.

the girls (bless them) decided it was time for me to get out, or to tutor. apparently thats how they got into their troubles.

so i guess there's two things to learn from this.....

1. i'm too lazy to bother with boys

2. i'm too picky when it comes to boys

either way, its not a huge concern, but i guess a boy would be a nice novelty to have!

twenty-three

this is what 23 started as for me......

22....

so today is technically the last day of me being 22.....

and boy, what a year 22 has been!

it has brought about a new change in me that i am sure to never forget.

it was the year that failed to live up to what i expected, disappointed me in so many ways, disheartened me to the point of nearly giving up on my dream. it was also a challenge in that it changed the way i coped with adversity, and learnt to adapt to situations that did not suit me.

i dealt with uni issues, friend issues, family issues and other issues.

but in the end, i'm still thankful for the year. even though it's been tough, i'm a better person for it. and i have the friends now to prove it!

so thanks to all of you who take the time to read this and listen to the hardships (and now the good times) that i've endured for no good reason than that you like me. so i appreciate it!

now onto the year of 23 for me.....

inspiration

two things:

1. at the moment, there is a beautiful wafting smell of coconut and vanilla in my room.....i don't know where it came from, but its comforting and helping me to focus on my studies.

2. when i was buying my afternoon caffeine at the hospital, the girl who served me asked me if i was happy. when i told her that it was because i got to go home in a few hours, she told me that its a good thing that makes us happy, no matter how small or insignificant (like going home) it is in the scheme of things

now....what inspirational things have you heard lately???
