Summer Lovin'

I love the winter (almost spring) days where you get that little glimpse of summer. That little glimpse of what is to come and how truly amazing summer is going to be. This weekend was a little snap shot. The most beautiful perfect weather, where you can just sit and feel the warm sun on your face. This weekend we managed the put a dent in the house renovations, as well as sneaking away to a lovely lunch at the boat harbor. It's weather like last weekend which remind me why I love Perth so much. It kinda makes me sad that I am going to miss such a large chunk of my summer for a snowy Europe winter. But in the same respect I cannot even begin to outline my excitement for my upcoming trip. The only thing which makes me a little sad is the thought of a month without my babies (Kitty & Archer). But all in all I know it is going to be the most amazing trip of my life. I truly can't wait.

Gottcha!

New laptop. Less uni. Weekends off work again. It seems like life is heading in to a positive direction, which is nice. Our holiday is creeping up wayyyyy faster than I want it too. It seems, in hind sight, planning a month long trip to Europe in like 10 months when you own a house and have bills to pay is not a good idea. Home owning sure does make travelling a difficult task. But I want it all, future financial stability and to see the world with the man I love, so basically I suck it up. Two extremely important people to me have moved/ moving over east. One I didn't see all the time but on occasion when I am sitting at home watching doctor phil I have to stop myself waiting for her to call and say she is popping over on her uni break. I miss having that friend that at least once a week is pestering me to spend time with her because really she is the only one who did it. The other one, words can't even describe how I am going to survive without him in my daily routine. Because really barely anyone can put up with my shit and give me such guidance and clarity like he can. Some would say that a phone call would solve this, but it wont.. I need my lunch buddy and my shoulder. BUT I understand the alure of the eastern states. A part of me knows I could never leave Perth because I love it so much, the other part of me wants to move to Melbourne and be one of those people. Or maybe France, I think I would really love to live in France, possibly Spain also...but I'll let you know how I like it. Maybe I should completely mix it up and run away just to see how it feels?

The new laptop has made me so happy, yet so sad. It has made me remember again how much I lost with the old one and how many photos and memories I really am never going to get back. On the plus side I wont EVER let that happen to me again. I will be sleeping with my laptop under my bed so no one can steal my memories away again. I have decided to resolve this loss a) I am going to get a new camera, go drink cocktails with the girls and take giggly photos b) add hundreds of photos to facebook just in case and c) ensure that throughout my time in Europe I maintain this blog with photos and written memories so that if plan a and b fail, I still have something. Not to mention, I am going to go back to bali and try take all the exact same photos.

Haha try steal my memories this time robber!

Down to Business.

What could possibly make a person feel less motivated and inspired than spending an afternoon in the computer labs of Curtin University? Well it's a trick question, because the answer is nothing. Not to mention I do a business degree, so it's hard to be inspired when everything you write needs to be referenced to a journal article written by an old man who is rambling on about crap. Curtin, a university of innovation- yet possibly the bleakest place on earth. I find myself easily losing concentration when I should be focusing on my education, something which I literally spend thousands of dollars a semester to obtain, but it is so difficult to focus on something which at times is so tedious and long winded.

I am craving creativity lately, but of course the universe has shown me it’s humour by firstly taking my camera and then both my laptops away from me which in turn has left me with very limited resources to have any form of creative outlet. Prior to the last two months I lived by the saying ‘everything happens for a reason’ and I still very much agree with this, but now I live by the rule to take what life throws at you with a ‘grain of salt’ (correct analogy?) and a little bit of humour. Because no matter how many more bad things happen to me, no matter how much I complain...it could be worse. So I’ll just keep taking it as it comes.

Oh, on another note...I got to go to a ball. The iiball was pretty amazing. Luckily for me not only did I get my work friends and boyfriend to enjoy it with me, but I also got the lovely Amanda to attend as well. What a night.
