Super quick Holiday Update

I've been terrible at blogging this month but I have been soaking up every last second of these holidays!!

Last week I attended a 3 day Science Workshop at one of the University's which was so much fun, we went to lectures and did multiple workshops including testing our blood type, I'm A+!! And an array of other things as well as a social and excursion!! I loved it and found most of it very interesting (except for most of the physics).

I also had my birthday party today!! It was great, I'm going to post pictures and information very soon (I hope). It has been awhile since my birthday but some of my friends had dance summer schools and we were away on some weekends so I had to wait until today but that meant that I had more time to plan everything!! They gave me a Pandora Bracelet, an angel charm, a pyjama shirt, Kimi Doll keyring and one of my friends just got back from America and gave me an apron, oven mitt and spatula from the M&M store!!

Tomorrow I'm going to my Uncle's for the day to play with my cousins N and A!!
Tuesday I'm getting everything ready to go back to school,
And Wednesday I'll be back at school. I got my school laptop on Friday and we also got our school calendar Monday last week and 12 pictures get chosen, one for each month and a photo of my friends and I is the month of March!! How exciting, we were all so happy:)

I hope you all had a great weekend!!

I've also been planning my party that is going to be next week!! And also been doing a lot of relaxing (aka nothing!!)

This weekend we drove down to NSW to visit friends and go and see a show!!

This week I am going to a science experience at the University which I'm looking forward too!!

I also hope to blog about the rest of our cruise before i go back to school!!

P.S. I'm so sorry I was unable to get any posts of my holiday up before today but I've been so busy baking, decorating the house, shopping and wrapping presents that I haven't had a chance.

Holiday update {part 2}

Sunday: My mother and I went shopping to outlet shops and I bought a new pair of shorts and mum also bought 2 christmas presents for me, that I chose.

Monday: I went to my uncles for the day and played with and looked after my cousin N. We went for a bike ride, I walked and she rode, we went for a walk and looked at some road works and we played hide and seek. She is so cute and I love spending time with her. Her brother A was at vacation care as they had a special activity on.

Tuesday: I stayed home and re-watched season 7 of Greys Anatomy and started packing my bags for our cruise. I also had a doctors appointment as I have had a headache on the right side of my head since last Monday and last night it got really bad.

Wednesday: Again I stayed home and did a bit more packing and watched Greys Anatomy season 8 which hasn't been shown here yet!! It is so good!!! I didn't hear any news on my blood test for my headache, today.

Thursday: I finished packing and put everything in my bag, got heaps of things organised and really just got ready for our cruise!! I had a nice relaxing day even though the weather has been so cold and its meant to be summer!!

Friday: My family and I left very early for our cruise!!

How's your holidays been so far??

Holiday update {part 1}

Here's what I've been up to.

Friday: the day I finished year 9 and mum's birthday!! We finished school at 12:30 so M took E, L and I back to her house and we went for a swim and had subway for lunch. Mum then came and picked me up, I came home had a shower and then went to my Uncles place for the night as my mum had her Christmas party. We went to A's christmas concert on Friday night and I had KFC for the first time.

Saturday: I went for a swim with my cousins A and N and then my dad came and picked me up from my uncles. We then went home got mum and my brother and drove to NSW to visit friends. We got there late afternoon and stayed in their yard in our camper trailer.

Sunday: Mum, our friends and I went to Byron Bay in the morning to do some shopping but I didn't buy anything. We then came home for lunch, had a rest and then went to the lake for a swim. Our friends have many surfboards so my brother and I had a paddle around the lake and I stood up on the surfboard for 5 seconds...I was so proud!!

Monday: We drove home in the morning and then on mums way to work she dropped me off at my uncles and I played with N all day. We went swimming played dress ups and then went and got A from school. Mum then picked me up and we came home.

Tuesday: was meant to be the day I cleaned up my room and sorted everything out but I baked scones, surfed the internet and watched tv. I did do some cleaning and I un-packed my bag from my uncles (from Mondays visit not fridays!!) and NSW. I also sorted out my school books and handouts from this year.

Wednesday: I made a delicious pasta salad which I hope to share soon and a friend from primary school came over. We hanged out at my place for a while and then went to meet another friend from primary at our primary school to see all of our old teachers and current students. I had a great day and I don't normally get to see my primary school friends very often so it was very exciting.

Thursday: I put up the christmas tree!! E, L, M and I went up to our school to help with a few things for some of the day. We then all came back to my house went for a swim, watched things on my laptop and had a sleepover.

Friday: E, L, M and I went shopping for the day!! I was the only one who bought anything but its usually the opposite, I'm usually the only one that doesn't buy anything. I got a jumpsuit and 2 pairs of shorts. We then came back to my house again made some macadamia nut brittle and then they all went home. I then stayed the night at my grandparents.

Saturday: I came home from my grandparents at about midday and then wrapped a few christmas pressies and surfed the internet!!

What have you all been up to??

School's out!!

I finished school last Friday(25-11-11)!!

I have now officially finished year 9!! It feels so good to be able to say that. After 9 exams and 2 assignments I'm finally finished. However I'm kind of scared as I am now going into year 10!! I can't believe it, I think year 10 is going to be so hard.

My holidays have been fantastic so far, I've already done so much and loved every second of it, I so badly needed these holidays and I was so tired on Friday.

I hope everyone is enjoying their holidays or enjoy the ones they may have!

My weekend

On Saturday my grandmother and I went to a Quilt and Craft Show. I bought quite a few things and loved looking at all different types of crafty things to make and do. I slept over on Saturday night at her house too and did somethings for my Home Ec assignment.

These are all the things I bought:

These sparkly letters were only $3 and there is 86 in there. 

These are a bit hard to see but there are 'Happy Birthday', 'Merry Christmas' and letter stickers. Each were $2 per sheet. 

I can't work out how to turn this photo but it's letter stickers and boarders. I love the colours of the letters!! 

I can't work out how to flip this one either but I got both of these 2 paper pads with 40 sheets of decorated paper for only $5.

This is one of my favourites from the pink pad 

And one from the black pad. 

I got these 2 sheets of scrap-booking paper for free!! 

And these 2 were $1 each, aren't they pretty!?! 

This set of scrapbook paper was only 50c, for all of it!! 

These 4 were also 50c! 

And these ones were too!! 

And so were these!! 

I got these little decorative scissors and sewing machine button for my Home Ec assignment which is a scrapbook/journal. The scissors where 90c and the button $4.50.

And I also got these 2 adorable sewing themed ribbons for about $3 a metre!!

I got picked up early Sunday morning and then I got ready to go to school. We have an awards night on Tuesday and each year level has an act, it is optional to participate in but I chose too. So we had to practice. I am dancing in it but I'm not that good but it's a lot of fun!! The rehearsal started around 9 and finished around 11am so afterwards E, L, M and I went down to the shops and got an Ice cream. I came home then did some shopping and for the rest of the afternoon I worked on my Home Ec assignment.

How was your weekend?

I hope this week is just as good, if not better!!

Charlotte;)

P.S. If anyone knows how to flip these photos (they were taken on a cannon camera) could you please leave me a comment!! Thanks.

• This week has gone sooo much quicker than last week-maybe it's because Monday was a pupil free day
• I got my Home Ec results back-I got an A+, my assignment is going to be displayed in the school library and as soon as I get it back I'll post pictures and an explanation. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it going in the library as I don't want other people touching it but it hasn't been put up yet and I'm going to inspect when it does.
• I'm in the middle of making pajama pants in Home Ec at the moment
• On Saturday I'm going to a craft show with my Grandma and staying there on Saturday night
• Next Thursday is one year since I got sick, I want to do something special but I'm not sure yet, if you have any ideas let me know
• I feel on top of all my school work so far this term, I have handed in one English assignment and got another today but aside from that and a little home ec scrapbook I only have exams and I've already started writing study notes
• My school is offering a trip to America next year to go and visit NASSA and lots of other things and I'm thinking about going but I have already been to America twice and I am looking to do something in science after I leave school but it hasn't really got anything to do with space
• I'm now considering becoming a lawyer as well when I grow up, I've got it all planned out: Graduate from school, have 6 months to 1 year break, go to Uni to either study medicine or law, get married, work until I'm in my late 20's or early 30's and then have kids and leave work, have a working husband and have plenty of money for overseas trips and the like, maybe go back to work part time once all kids are at school and then retire. That is my ultimate dream but I'll be happy with slight variations
• I've planned to go back to my primary school in the first week of the holidays and I'm very excited
• I tried my primary school uniform on on the weekend and it still fits, it's almost too big!!
• I went to the deputy principals office for the first time today, I wasn't really in trouble but it was quite an experience
• I've already been back at school for 3 weeks, it's gone so fast and it's only a 8 week term and them I'm in year 10
• I can't wait for the weekend!!!

It's the weeekend...finally

This week has felt like it has gone on forever!!

Monday I had a doctors appointment at the hospital, this is the doctor I have been seeing since January (I think) but she's not to good. Lets just say the appointment was a total waste of time and I won't be going back to her. She knows nothing about Blasto. and said that if I just excersise my stomach pains will go away...I wish!!

Yesterday I got into our pool to teach one of my mums friends daughter how to do tumble turns and I did a little bit of freestyle and it didn't hurt my stomach. I tried to do polo (the stroke you do when playing water polo) but I couldn't physically lift my head out of the water while I swam. This I probably because I have lost all of my core muscles.

This weekend I'm finishing my english essay which is due on tuesday, working on my Home Ec pyjama pants and journal and hopefully having a sleepover with L, E and M on Sunday night because Monday is a student free day!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Holiday update {finale}

Wednesday and Thursday: I pretty much did nothing, just got everything ready for M's surprise party, including making her pinata, making her cupcakes and making a pass-the-parcel.  And I also just relaxed.

Friday: I assembled and make the cupcakes, L came over and we went to E's place to set up for M's surprise party. I'll try to post pictures soon.

Saturday: Did a bit of back to school shopping and started to finish of my home ec assignment.

Sunday: I un-packed from M's sleepover party and got everything ready for school. I also finished my Home Ec assignment which I will post photos of soon!!

Overall my holidays have been absolutely amazingly fun!! When I look back on all of the things I have done it feels like soo much but it also feels like the holidays have gone way way to fast.

Anyway back to school today and I'm feeling pretty good!!

Charlotte;)

Busy Busy Busy

This is how my holidays have gone so far:

Friday: My mum and I went out to dinner and then saw a play called The Mouse Trap because someone she works with was in it. The play was great and dinner was too but I had a terrible cold and was so incredibly tired after a long term.

Saturday: I went shopping with my mother and bought a summer dress and then went straight to my grandmas for the night as my parents we going to a concert.

Sunday: I got home from my grandmas and went straight to IKEA with my mother because we are doing up my bathroom and our downstairs lounge/playroom and had to get a few things and some inspiration. We then had friends over for the afternoon and for dinner.

Monday: Two of my friends came over; L and E (M is in New Zealand) at 7am and we went shopping and then we went back to IKEA to get something for M's birthday. I post about it after we give it to her but it looks amazing!! E and L then slept over.

Tuesday: I had a dentist appointment and L, E waited in the waiting room. Afterwards we went to see Monte Carlo which was an average movie. L and E also slept over Tuesday night.

Wednesday (today): L, E and I went 4 wheel driving with my mother, father and brother and went swimming and paddling in the beach. L and E left at 5pm.

I have been busy but I've had so much fun!! I love my friends and the whole time we were together we didn't get sick of each other at all!! So far these holidays have been amazingly fun and I hope they stay that way!!

It's spring!! Winters is over, YAY!! Finally we might get some warmer weather!!

Yesterday I walked into a desk and now I have a MASSIVE bump and bruise on my leg. I hardly even touched the desk and now it's to sore to touch!!

After lunch today I had to come home because my stomach was extremely sore. I would have come home earlier but I had my English exam. My stomach is still quite painful but my heat pack seems to be working well.

I'm starting to get some summer clothes for the cruise I'm going on in December!! I'm so excited and I can't wait!! Hopefully I'l be all better by then and be able to enjoy it a lot!!

This weekend I'm have nothing planned but studying and assignment work!! How fun?? I can't wait for the holidays, don't get me wrong I like school and I'm sorta good at it but holidays are 100 times better than school!!

Next Thursday I'm getting re-tested for Blasto since it will be four weeks since I finished the tablets. I'm kinda nervous, kinda excited and I'm not really thinking about it cause I have so so so many other thinhs going on at the moment.

I hope everyone is having a good week and I'm counting down the hours until the weekend!!

Markets, Strawberries and Koalas

Yesterday (Saturday) we took our Japanese student to the Eumundi Markets. We didn't buy anything but still had a good time. After the markets we went strawberry picking. I had some of the strawberries today and they were delicious.

Today we went to some different markets for breakfast. These are our regular markets where we often go for breakfast. After this we went to a Koala Sanctuary where they had all different types of Australian animals. We watched a bird show and a sheep dog show and saw koalas, kangaroos, platypus', wombats, sheep, goats, many types of birds and dingos.

Two great days, which hopefully showed our student a little bit of Australia.

Something unrelated, tomorrow I have a doctors appointment with a new doctor who treats Blastocysts. Hopefully this will be a good appointment and this may be what is causing all of my pain!! This past week my pain levels haven't been to bad apart from Wednesday but I've been really fatigued. That's really annoying and I have also had a lot of nausea which is also annoying. Nausea sucks, especially because it makes my stomach pains worse. Hopefully this week will be better.

Have a great week and I hope you weekend was as good as mine!!

Charlotte;)

What a week

This is how my (busy) week went:

Monday-I spent the day with my uncle and cousins, babysitting.

Tuesday-Doctors appointment in the morning, the doctor gave me a double script of Metronidazole to treat my blastocystis (unfortunately not making a difference yet). Then in the afternoon I had a dentist appointment for my first 2 fillings!! Actually the fillings were not that bad although my body shook the whole time because I was so scared!!

Wednesday-I went shopping with my 6 besties for the day!! I bought nothing but had a good time.

Thursday-I went to Movie World for the day with 2 of my besties!! I had a great time and went on my second roller-coaster, the Looney Tunes Children's Coaster and my third roller-coaster, the Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster.

Friday-I made the heart cake from I am Baker with one of my other friends. It went quite well and I am hoping to try it again this week!! I'll share a photo as soon as I load them off my phone. It was also my half birthday, so I turned 14 and-a-half.

Saturday-My stomach was very bad (I ended up have a Panadiene Forte) and that night I had 3 of my besties come for a sleepover!! We stayed up until 3am and we watched Burlesque and Mean Girls 2, both very good movies.

Today(Sunday)-2 of the friends from last night and I (as well as my parents) went to some markets for breakfast and a look around. We then went to Harbour Town to do some shopping!! I bought some PJ's from Peter Alexander and a pair of jeans and a belt from Jag. We also watched Easy A which was about nothing and was very bad in my opinion.

Tomorrow(Monday)-I am going back to my Uncle's to babysit little N who's 2 and adorable.

So yeh I've had a busy week for school holidays but I've loved every day (well except for the doctors and dentist)!!

I can't wait to see what this week brings!! I hope you all had a great week and this week is just as good or even better!!!

Charlotte;)
