Hello!
Well, i noticed the last time that i posted was in June of last year......that is so long ago!
I am still at uni, i passed all of last years subjects...did well and am getting mentally prepared for what this year has to bring. I'm only doing 3 subjects as apposed to 4 but they are worth more credit points so there is probably going to be more work involved. Hopefully this year i am going to take the approach of less stress....alot of peops have commented on the time i put into my studies and normally that is a good thing but it gets me too stressed so this year i might try something slightly different. Sometimes working too much and not resting has a negative effect instead of a positive one.
This hols i was feeling a little down after uni finnished because i felt that everytime i was relaxing i was supposed to be doing uni work eventhough there was none to do.... but then i went to Fosrter with Mics family and it gave me a chance to wind into the holiday routine so that is a really good thing.
It has been exciting the past few months...Kylie and David are engaged and there are a few engagement parties and weddings to go to...yay!
Some peops are leaving coles Karyn, James, Eliza.....but there are still some veterans there so its good to keep the comfortable atmosphere.
Its so good to start a new year fresh and rejuvenated :)

Work is good, still the same friendly peoples etc, there is a work party soon yay! We are even doing christmas in july and secret santa lol, its going to be interesting!
Going away to Jervis Bay soon, its gunna be good, unfortunately we cant go when alot of peops are going but we are going a bit later with Kyles and Dav, so it should be good, its always good to be in a different atmosphere - sometimes its hard to relax at home cause it still reminds me of stress cause of uni, so it should be a good break :)

3:33 pm - New Zealand
|
Hey everybody....guess what, i went to New Zealand :)
I just got back on Thursday night and have got straight back into working. NZ was excellent, although at times - tiring - it was great to experience something new and exciting .... We all did alot of exciting stuff like blackwater rafting, jet boating, luge riding, 4x4 bikes etc.....
Its good to be back though aswell, in fact last night i stayed back and hour and a half to talk to peops i hadn't seen for 3 weeks, its great to see everyone.
We took lotsa photos and only went over budget a lil'. Mic is so wonderful to be with, i love him so much, it was great seeing him everyday.
Getting back to reality will be hard...uni, work and routine. Alot of people are leaving work unfortunately - Jess, Ash and Josh.....- but alot of people are staying as well :)
Tonight is Morgan's party, yay!! Can't wait, it starts at 5 so i really should start getting ready! lol.
This update has been a lil' disjointed, but i hope its still readable :)
hmmmm what to wear.............
current mood:  peaceful

11:24 am - Uni Exams are over.....normal life can start again
|
Its been a bit hectic lately, things have been put on hold for a while....but now exams are over and there is time to do those things that are therapeutic...like cleaning room and watching tv. I was thinking about it the other day and realised i havent seen a movie for aaaaaaaaagggggggges.
I don't think i realised how hard uni would be, cause i was/am prepared to do alot of work but the amount we are given is rediculous. But this is what wanna do, and i will try as hard as i can to pass and to be the best i can be.
It great now though, exams are over and i can see so much more of friends, if they are free of course. The one thing i know about true friendship is the big part understanding plays, and i am so glad and thankful to have friends who are very understanding :) You are all wonderful!
Its time now to watch a bit of day time tv, look over my bday photos, eat lunch and give lotsa thoughts to Mog doing an exam today.
Darling, i wish you the best for today's exam and for the one on thursday :)
I hope to catch up with you all soon,
Jen

Today was a good day.
Sometimes i get so caught up in everything and forget about how complicated i make things. Today i had a midterm for biology, unfortunately we only had 35 mins for 35 questions but i spose you get that sometimes, it wasnt too bad though. After the test Tneal, Lisa, Daniel, emma and i, sat in the sun, talked and did uni work. I had seriously forgotten how relaxing and enjoyable it was to not stress and, to take things easy. We sat there for hours and it only seemed like half an hour had passed.
It has been pretty hard lately with uni, there seems to be a never ending workload and i'm always catching up all the time. 7 weeks have gone already and it feels like week 3. It feels like i don't have time any more to stop and think and for once that is something i actually feel i want to do. Before i always tried to keep myself busy to avoid thinking about all the crazy stuff going on, but now it seems as though the only thing to worry about is uni. Sometimes that thinking time can be just remembering happy moments and taking a breather. One week seems to meld into the next..sometimes its hard to keep track of what day it is.
Friendships are good at the moment, there have been bday parties all round and its a great time to catch up. I am so lucky to have the friends i do, everyone is so wonderful :)
I have been out twice since i have been 18, once to cronulla rsl with gem, kylie, david and lazza and the second to oatley pub for trivia night. I cant believe that i am 18, i dont feel left out anymore and its really enjoyable to just be able to relax and listen to music..... :)
Looking forward to xbox night soon, not sure when yet...hopefully kylie will come home soon and update us :) yay!
time to go watch tv :) and eat more eucalyptus lollies :) :)

Time to relax, rejuvinate and breathe :)

Hey there all you lovely people,
Well uni is over for the semester and there is actually time to spend on updating (do i hear a hurray??) lol
Anyway so uni was really exhausting and crazy and all and it was kinda a bit over whelming at first but its a bit better now. I have failed 1 subject (at least im 98% sure i have), i try to convince myself that its ok but im not too sure what to think, cause i've never failed anything before....Anyway there is now a few weeks of relaxation and then....PAR-TAY TIME!
Its great having this time to relax but sometimes it seems a bit overwhelming and by the time you know it a day is over already.
Things outter uni have been good, i dont know what i would do without friends, they are the best. Went to Coffee with Kath and Gem last night and seriously it felt like i havent talked like that in ages. Sometimes i crave for those days, days of talking and coffee.
I get so scared sometimes, scared for others who have nothing. Here i am with friends, all this stuff and God's love in my life and some people don't have any of that, and i wish i could just do something, like give them a hug or something and try to help them.
Anyways The Guardian is on now,
Luv you all so much!
Jen

I havent updated this in a while (again) cause i been pretty busy with everything. But this is a great place to write down thoughts. So here does;
I don't know what it is lately, but everything seems to just be pilling up, it seems as though everything i do is wrong. Its like i cant get away, and even though i am home today, i have an essay to do so theres no time to relax or enjoy the time of quiet. Its like i cant do anything without be nagged, put down or told ive done something wrong. When i try to ask for help i just get insulted so i dont know what to do. I have been trying to do this essay for a week and have spent everyday since doing it and ill still not finnished its taken so many hours to do and i just want it over, hopefully it will be when i hand it in tomorrow. I just want to snuggle in bed, pull the sheets up close and cry. Sometines its good to cry...maybe it will get those feelings out. Gotta breathe deeply and calm down.....its all good.
current mood:  drained

8:54 pm - HAPPY EASTER
|
hello!
So much has happened since i last updated so i'm not going to remember it all unfortunately but here are the basics:
I started uni (doing Medical Science), it was really scary at first because i didn't know anyone and i had no idea what i was doing. It felt like everyone was staring at all the mistakes i made, but i soon realised that no one really cared what i did all they were/are thinking about is staying awake through lectures etc. Not much has changed since then in the way of uni appart from that "no one really cares what you do" theory. I am still very unsure of what to do and where to go. The work load is something i didn't see coming, i knew you had to work hard but i never thought it would be harder than school. There is so much to do and not enough time to do it all. On top of that the journey there and back is so tiring by the time you have gotten up at 6 in the morning travelled an hour, gone to classes and got back home at 7:30 your body is telling you to go to sleep, its so hard to physically keep our eyes open let alone study or look over notes. There are breaks during the day most days which is good but to be really productive you have to make sure you dont get distracted. I haven't really made that many friends, its so hard, i just get way to shy and avoid eye contact whenever possible.
Even though there are quite a few negatives, it isn't too bad. I really want to do this course and eventhough that may mean a few dead boddies (cadarvers) here and there, it will be worth it in the end and somethings are really interesting to learn about.
So thats uni...pretty hard but all in all worth it.
Michael is still as adorable as ever, sometimes i get so confused about the different ways we both tackle situations but its all in the learning process and i love him more every day, he is a really wonderful, sweet, caring person who is very dear to me :)
Haven't seen too many people lately, its been really hard to keep friendships going with all this work. I really want to catch up with people. Its been good talking to Sez, seeing my group the other night, going to coffee with Gem (thanks so much Gem you are so gorgeous i really like chatting to you), seeing mic, going to the easter show with Ange and Bonty, and seeing peops at work. I am so greatful for all of that.
Last night i went to Cassie Horders new house at asuburb near camden, cant remember the name of it. Gem picked me up and John, Gem, Morgan and i went on a road trip to try and find this place. We got a bit lost on the way there, quite a bit lost actually, but after lots of craziness we got there and we met some of Johnny's friends and saw John and Cass which was really good, lots of talking and relaxing, i think i really needed that, haven't unwound since i started uni and it was a prime location in the middle of no-where with friends (note to self: next time wear closed shoes). Was a really good night.
Have tried to have quiet times each day or as frequent as possible anyway but it a bit challenging, have to knuckle down and try harder! But i'm getting there which is good. :)
Have Gemma's Leaving Coles party/Moving away party this Friday. It sounds like alot of people are coming which is excellent, Gemma really deserves to have people who care alot about here around. I am hoping that will turn out to be a good night, a good catch up session for everyone. :)
Its hollidays at the moment and even though i have a lot to do i'm going to make sure i enjoy it while i can, am seeing Sez on wednesday, Erin on thursday, peops on friday night, and a mix between study, work and relaxing the rest of the time :)
Its really great the things that have happened in the past few weeks in the way of relationships as well, Gem and John, Ange and Bonty - i couldn't imagine better people to be together, all 4 are wounderful people :) congrats guys!
Easter was here today, the family came over and had lunch. After wards David, Kylie, Elisa and i played cards, it was a great time laughing, playing and catching up, it was good to see Elisa again, we don't get to see our cousins alot as well as aunty Jan , Nan L and Nan and Pop C. :) HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
I better go for now, but take care and hopefully we can catch up soon!

ello...
I just signed into messanger and there was way too many emails...then i remembered i havent been on in a couple of days and it all made sense.
Its really wierd cause these days i can never remember my week when i get to sunday which is usually the day i think bout updating.
I went out with Heather this week and we went to see two weeks notice which was really good! Bubbs is good, she just got back from overseas :)
Went to see 8 mile with Mic and it was still great the 2nd time!
Been going out to dinner and stuff basically.
Went to Bonty's party on Friday night which was great, i could have stayed there for longer but unfortunately i had to work until 9 which was a bummer.
Last night went out to dinner with Mic at tht Italian place at Menai, we both were so full after and yet after that we went for a swim and versed eachother at vollyball!
Just been to work and if andrew wasn't there i don't know what i would have done, hes a funny one, keeps me sane...or sort of. Cass was there too which was good cause we don't get to talk much nemore.
Time to rest and relax...going to Menai City Church around 6ish...haven't been there in ages...hopefully nothing has changed :)
signing off....

Hey...
today mum and i went to enroll in university, on the way we heard about the train derailment at Waterfall and saw the emergency vehicles all on the patch of grass in the fork of the road. I went and enrolled, got id photo taken etc and on the way back on the radio mum and i heard that 9 peops are dead and many are critical...the death toll is apparently going to increase as the day goes on. The radio also said that most of the people were enrolling for uni and it was a kilometer and a half through bush... When we saw it on our way back there was alot more emergency people, interviewers and the road was blocked one way.
Its so sad and devastating. How does something like this happen? poor people :( I will pray for everyone involved and i hope that the ones injured are kept safe.
Off to work in a couple hours, pretty stressed atm...maybe try to face up for a while or something sounds good.
Hope everyone is safe and well
current mood:  sad

Havent updated in like years (a bit of an exageration)
So its 2003 finally, actually last year went pretty fast, but this year is a year for caring, for realising the lovely friends i have, for Michael who i absolutely adore and for life.
The past week i have been up in Forster with Michaels family, it was a really great time...relaxing and reading and being able to see Mic everyday, waking up in the morning seeing him there is the best feeling! Unfortunately we had to leave early, i had the Woolongong open day to go to, so we went there and had a look around...it wasn't too exciting but i got a chance to check it out. Friday night Mic and i were both off work and Gem, Me, Mic, Kyles, Dav, Chris, Lozza and Tim all crowded in the Lounge room and played xbox....was a great time! Saturday went to pic mum and dad up from the airport with Kylie, came home and went to nan and pops, came home...rushed to get ready and went to Davids 21st! was great hanging out with everyone there...and Mic looked drop dead gorgeous! i love that man!
Last night i couldn't get to sleep, everytime i would try to sleep i would wake up gasping for air...my body just kept forgetting to breathe...Mic was adorable, he was there making it all better for me, prob go see the doc morrow, eventually got to sleep round 4 something.
I have just finnished cleaning my room this morning, it was really bad i kept tripping over stuff in there.
Mic and i's 1 year is in 10 days! yayayayayay.
have a great day everyone
current mood: happy

hmmm the past whenever.....
Been going out a lot, its really strange cause i don't even know where all the time goes. Friday night work as usual, came home and watched dawsons :) Saturday went to work, came home and went to Mic's house, all the guys were there and Emma and we ate pizza followed by a night out of put put (note: when your frustrated don't go to put put). Sunday, work...was really funny the new boss Stuart is so great :) and home to a housefull of peops that were really nice and funny, Mic and i went to Axs from there and they had a great service, one of the pastors was leaving. Went to Maccas as normal from there and went back to Mic's house. Came home, went to sleep. Pop went into hospital sunday. Did the rest of the wrapping yesterday and it was dad's bday. Mum stayed at the hospital cause pop had to go back into opp cause something went wrong :( but he is stable now...going to go see him wednesday night. So dad, Kyles, David, Mic and i went to Chinese, was good...no fights yay.
Came home, had cake with mum here....Mic had a really bad headche so he slept here for bout an hour...he is so cute when he sleeps. I hope he is ok now....it looked really painful :(
Sez messaged this morning and wanted to catch up, so she came over here for a few hours and we chatted lots. Good to see her again :)
Am here now about to think about getting ready for 2 Christmas parties tonight, ones at a friend from schools Laura and the other is at Glenda's house.
I really hope pop is ok, he is all i could ever want in a pop, funny, helpful and caring.
Time to skidattle to finnish cleaning my room lol.........

Its Thursday already which means there is 7 more days untill results come out, it also means 7 more days untill Josh goes for his airforce inteview and 7 more days untill my big brother comes back.
Lets back track....
Monday Mic and i went to Woranora to do our "photo day" unfortunately it came over windy and cold so the beautiful day so far had to be moved back here...we worked out how to play a new card game called Bezique, pretty good :) At night Gem and i did our second monday coffee night at Aromas :) I love those nights especially now since we don't get to talk very often...thanks Gem you always make me smile :)
Tuesday was a shopping day, the parking at Christmas is so unbelievable...quote from Gem "you know its Christmas when it takes you longer to find a parking spot than to shop"...got a few gifts which was pretty champion we both got pretty sore from carrying the bags. Thanks so much for that Gem :)
Came home and was going to go to tennis instead of today but it was raining. Went to bible study and saw half a video which was apparently funny but the battery ran out so it was kinda annoying lol.
Wednesday did the rest of the wrapping so far, finnished off a website and my bubby came round a bit later.
We taught Kyles how to play bezique, got some subway and watched "John Q" which was sad but happy if that makes sense.
Thursday.....just sitting thinking of how i don't want to get my results on thursday and am contemplating the thought of going to tennis but realising i will be a) tired b) have to leave tennis early c) be driving myself to dinner at Bankstown tonight and d) none of that sounds thrilling. It would be fine if tenis was an hour earlier but nooooo.... lol
Time to shave legs, paint nails, scan photos, ring Rinnie, write on cards etc etc etc
current mood: cheerful
