With so many things on my mind, and so little time to daydream about it, thought I'd just note it down because I will forget:

 

~ Take a makeup course

~ Buy those shoes at shoobiz wen i get my next pay

~ Pimp up my myspace page

~ Take more fotos!

OMG

My first day at Parra and the trains fark up on me. No harsh feeling towards train-luving pplz and to make u's feel better, my bus was late too. So I guess im outraged at the woeful state of the public transport on rainy days. But what do i expect really???

So my 7.15 bus comes late.  Dominoe effect leads me to miss my 7.30 train.  The 7.40 train was late. I get to redfern around 7.55ish.  My first day at redfern gets me confused as to what platform I should be on, since Parra is a rather popular suburb a few trains pass dat way.  I missed two trains that were leaving on other platforms >.< ARGH.  Redfern isnt exactly tourist-frdly nor first-time-commuters-frdly.  Everybody runs off the train, up the stairs, and down a random platform, I thought 'hey they mite be goin to parra' so I run down that platform with them realising the train goes to Hornsby.  At least the train to Parra was an express, I was still 25 mins late :S  But didnt feel so bad cos I saw Carlo, Leng and Vanessa at the lobby too hehe.

 

Coming back home, caught the train from Parra to Redfern wif no trouble. Easy.  Got off at Redfern and it was pelting, trust the rain to go hard when I'm gettin off the train.  Then I see a train leaving for Marrickville, I hop on and its like squishy.  Squishy on a humid day. EWW. I walk upstairs and stand where at least I dont havta smell some1 else's B.O.  After 10mins of the train just standing there at Redfern, the speaker goes "this train is terminating at Redfern". WTF?! Masses of pplz hop off and the next train is an express. Beautiful...if only I lived in Campsie.  Making a quick decision, I decide to walk to uni to catch my luvly dependable 423.  So i had to get off at Redfern and walk all the way to the bus stop outside wentworth. In my heels. In the rain. U know wot i was thinking? I didnt recognise any of the uni kids face. Wow, have I really grown up? lol.

 

I come to the bus stop and thought yay i made it.  I see a bus - its a 423, doors close and Im still outside getting wet. Dammit >< Lucky 2 mins later an L23 comes PHEW! And Antoinette was on it too...I could vent out my frustration on public transport onto her haha.   I was also thinking, I don't care how slow buses are, I luv my buses!!

 

Tmr is another day at Parra...do i havta do this all over again for 3 mths :S:S:S  This time I'm setting my alarm to 6.20, 10 mins earlier :) Meanwhile, I havent shopped at Parra yet, I barely have time! Lunch is only an hr and its not sucha close walk to the mall :(

Have you ever been so excited over something that you randomly fall over things or keep hitting things or knocking things over, or generally become more unco?

 

That's me.  I got the official papers from ATO today...and the grad program sounds SOOO hectic...well its good timing actually cos im getting sick of looking at international macro. Basically the program will consist of work placements whilst undertaking a Cert IV on government. No idea what that is.  They listed subjects I will be doing that will have assessments, assignments, exams *GULP* and one of them was accounting. *plummets into academic hell* Oh GOSHHHHHH. I have avoided acct for two years and now its come back to haunt me. It's ok, I still have my acct1a/b textbook.  I'll also be doing tax subs which I've only done as topics within eco subs let alone a whole subject.

 

Two things got me excited. 1) I get a day off during the working wk to 'study/work on ass/technical training'. 2) My first paycheck will go into my bank account on the 22nd Feb 07. Yayyyy hehe.

 

It's sooo exciting. Somethin to liven up exam period.  One drawback is writing that letter of rejection/decline to ABS. >.< Wish I had a PA to do that for me.

stuvac is an interesting time of the year.

ppl get upto the zany-est things.

or the not-so-zany.

ppl get really stressed and its funny to watch them get stressed.

 

sharing a desk wif a 2nd yr psych/sociology student is by near impossible to manage if you knew how many essays they had to do within a semester...it gets worse during stuvac since you gotta study too and you can't cos of the desk hog. sunday called for a day out to the library. i like sunday library time...not so many ppl go cos only geeks go on sunday ;)  surprisingly, my studying efficiency is like 10 times better at fisher than anywhere else so i got my work done and headed off to the ct for sum quick shopping fixes.

 

i bought my customary pre-shopping easyway drink and went to look for a belt at TGV.  I found a nice thin simple one and this nice blouse also caught my eye.  I reluctantly had to throw away my drink before I tried on the blouse -- it sucked cos i really like those pearls and for once the guy put in HEAPS and i just had to let them go...the blouse didnt fit nicely argh.  I hate it when it looks good on the hanger but then looks shit when I try it on lol.

 

anyhoo there was still time before i met up wif the girls for a sushi train dinner so i checked out those fob shops on george st near the cinemas.  i experienced the weirdest thing there.  too bad i forgot wot the shop was called...but it looked nice ya know...as soon as i walked in, one of the girls smiled and greeted me. that was normal. i browsed one side and noticed the mannequin had this really cute grey cotton tube top and so i went onto the otherside looking for it.  then that same sales girl came and stood really close to me and then i looked at her and she like giggled and then like pranced backwards so i cud browse the other side of the store.  freaky. so instead of browsing the other side, i went back the same side i came from and looked at the shoes. very cute mind u. and then she's eagle-eyeing me again. 'feel free to try them on'.  too much sale assisting is a turnoff...because im sucha nice person, instead of walking str8 out of the shop and hurting her feelings, i slowly walk towards the direction of the door but appear to look fascinated by the shoes...

 

im 2 days behind stuvac schedule...arghhh.

to get back into the spirit of stuvac, here is what coleen would like like if she were a geek...

I can't stop thinking about life after Nov 17...after my last exam...the end of my tertiary education (for now..) and so to avoid me forgetting all the things I have in mind, I better make a list...

 

Aust East Coast in particular Melb.

 

Corp gear: 2 pencil skirts, 2 pairs of mid-heels, bag, blouses.

Silver Watch

Chanel Sunnies (only if I cant get my current ones fixed)

Bras

Car: Small and cute, thinking about an Echo.

 

Swim!! I siriusly cannot remember the last time I swam and I work at a pool..

Beach: just lazing around

Dance: Whoever's seen Wade Robson's project will understand why...

Plan a graduation party !!!

 

Thinking about a haircut/colour

Go to day spa for a massage

 

 

That's the list so far. You'll probably see it grow :D

In the meantime, its back to int'l macro...

Well technically I haven't been to Fyshwick...but there was a big chance I was gonna be living in Canberra next year... ATO rang me today and I just had to share this little piece of news with everyone..

I'M NOT GOING TO CANBERRA !!!

I'm gonna be a tax woman in the ATO grad program next yr YAY in SYDNEY! YAY!!! I don't know if ATO will provide a better program than ABS for an aspiring economist like me who one day dreams to work at the RBA, maybe not chairman but vice-chairwoman. But at least I'll be close to the ppl I luv most !!! YAYYY!

Good to know where I'll be sleeping next year.
