Doin’ things.

Hi it’s me remember me I used to post here sometimes.

I have been doing a bunch of to-do list stuff since I finished uni

sidebar I finished uni

and its great but I couldn’t pick up my shoes today due to the disappearing shoe repair man so that’s going to plague me forever until I get them, hopefully tomorrow morning after my massage. MASSAGE YEAHHHH I’m so poor *weeps* still bought clothes though. Lady can be poor and classy.

Very informative blog post.

GTT: Santa

Hey it’s me again surprise.

Today I served Santa at work.
He was in plainclothes but he came up to the counter and he bought two of the motion-activated sleazy french mistletoes (yeah that’s a thing we sell) and he all furtively told me he was Santa today and he starts at 9. I was like real cool story Santa. No wonder the North Pole is snowing all the time. Hey-ooo. Santa burn.

After work I did some Bladies Christmas preparation things and I enjoyed it and my thing with wrapping this year is FABRIC RIBBONS and it’s gonna be kind of expensive- I used 2 metres of ribbon on two presents already- BUT I’M EXCITED. Especially because I’m not super in love with the wrapping paper I bought this year, like I was with last year’s. I can’t believe I didn’t take a picture of last year’s paper ugh what times we lived in pre-Instagram.

Also I made dinner the end.

GTT: Tuesdays

Hi everybody remember me it’s your friend Nicola.

I haven’t posted in over seven weeks what a loserfacepants. But it has been an a-okay seven weeks. I’ve worked a whole lot, which has had the excellent consequences of benefiting my savings account as well as turning my rare days off into SUPER PRODUCTIVE DAYS. Namely Tuesdays. The past five or so Tuesdays have been spent doing a bunch of housework and exercising and cooking and other necessary things and I enjoy it. Today I tidied my room (took like three minutes because it was still mostly tidy from last week), then I decided to clean my mirror (with tip from Gemma over Twitter- cleaning glass with scrunched up newspaper, who knew?), and then I went ALL OUT and DUSTED all the hella dusty surfaces and that brought my Irrelevant Clutter Corner (of CD player, flute music and stand, and CDs) to the forefront of my mind so I CLEARED ALL THAT OUT and it feels weirdly freeing. That corner was like a black hole and didn’t really feel like part of my room but now it does yay.

Oh and the Invisible Made Visible show that This American Life did (and that Emily and Lana and I saw at the cinema a few months ago) was released for paid download today so I downloaded that and watched it while I cleaned because it is amazing. Seriously it is the best. Skip the Glynn Washington bit he sucks.

Also like four or five weeks ago Emily started teaching me how to sing properly and I’ve been practicing as often as I am alone in the house, and I’ve improved and it’s nice. Also I can learn lyrics to songs while I’m exercising, which helps pass the 30 minutes on the crosstrainer which I have also been trying to do regularly.

I’ve been really good lately with not TV-bingeing. I try and keep it to 0-1 episodes of anything per day, which is pretty great for me. Also I’m not re-watching Parks episodes so that frees up a lot of time.

Aaaaand um Peter Panto is set to be under way (kind of, still missing the damned Pirate Song) and it’s going to be great.

Aaaaand BLADIES CHRISTMAS THIS SUNDAY I MIGHT EXPLODE I’M SO EXCITED Y’ALL GONNA GET YO PRESEEEEEENTS.

GTT: Gym’d

Today (and yesterday) I went to the gym. LIKE A BOSS.

I’m going to start ending my posts with weight loss and food/exercise info because it will make me post more AND it’s good to keep a public record of this stuff because it’s a motivator. Feel free to ignore it if you like 🙂

I’ve done so little study omg, it’s just so boring.

Where my weight loss at?: 5.8kg
What I have eaten (so far) today: Banana-espresso smoothie, Gf/df/sf chocolate, Pepsi Max, Tuna and Avocado Salad with Cherry Tomatoes and Chia Seeds (I still have about 400 calories spare)
I got off my butt and: Walked for 45 minutes.

Being an adult is HARD.

I had my honours meeting today and I was like “hey how about this all gets sorted out”. I was totally intending to be like “NOPE I’M NOT DOING IT’ and they talked at me about options for twenty minutes until one finally asked if I even wanted to do it any more.

Then I said no.

They said to just leave making a decision until I get back from the UK, but to withdraw my application to graduate because its “psychologically harder” to come back to study after I have graduated already (not to mention its a buttload more forms to reapply).

Then they basically convinced me to do a Masters degree instead of Honours. 2 years instead of 1, 50,000 words instead of 18,000, but more flexibility and no extra classes.

I’d have to just graduate this year anyway to do Masters though, because its postgrad. Which is fine.

Then I got home and was like “Well shit, I still don’t think I want to do research anyway, they did bully me into a decision like I thought they would”. Even though they didn’t because I haven’t made a definite decision, but just about, you know?

 

So I’m probably just going to graduate, and then decide when I get home from England. But ughhhhh I wanted to decide today.

Blood Test Says No

Nothing on my blood test. I think that’s actually worse than something, because now there is just no reason for me to be feeling like this.
