Caution

I'm afraid that I might not be able to leave the house tomorrow. I seem to be getting sicker than I have been this past week. BAD NEWS :( KO touch is tomorrow @ St Mary's.

What bad luck.

Man, why can I never get better before exams =_=; Gayness.

Speaking of gayness, CBA raised interest rates. So mortgages will take longer to pay off. How nice. People with mortgages will now be less inclined to splurge more (like my parents), which is controversial because the govt has done so much to do the opposite thing.

What I've realised is that it hasn't been raised THAT dramatically- the number hasn't increased THAT much, but the word "increase" just freaks people out. :( I think CBA has one of the lowest interest rates (emphasis on I THINK), however, other big banks will say "HEY THATS A GREAT IDEA TO GET MOAR MONEY, LET'S COPY" and other mortgage payers with other banks will pay more =.=;

Damn, finance is so interesting.

WHAT HAPPENED TODAY - wow I haven't done this in a week or so

I "learnt" to reverse park.
For HOURS.

Here's the bad thing about getting it exactly right on the first go (damn flukes)-

-raises my dad's expectations.

How did my second try go? FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL *insert Tim's fail blog post*

D: I WAS STANDING RIGHT ON THE LINE, smack band between two car spots.

So he got angry.
Then I got scared.
So he got angry.
Then I got pissed off.
So he got angry.
Then I stomped on the accelerator and the driver seat probably has my head imprint on it now.

Bahaha.

Then I perfected by reverse parking.

Note, we were at Don Moore, so yeah, Sunday = desserted. Just lines on the ground. I'm pretty happy with that.

So was my dad. apparently.

Then he suggests - "lets go to westfield!" I am less enthusiastic about this. After spending like 3 hours at the car park just listening to him yell "YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS RIGHT" I really didn't want to spend another minute in the car D: but we went to Westfield anyway.

Which happened to be a very bad idea, because, well, being a beginner reverse parker, I can take 2 minutes trying to park (WHICH IS AGES D: he even timed me ==; ). And there was this ANNOYING SOB in a 4wd just behind us ALL THE FRICKING TIME. We went round and round the carpark tonnes of times so we could get rid of it (for his own good too!) but he was just always behind.

Until we lost him like 15 minutes later and I had been through the whole carpark 4-5 times, and my dad said "Okay- park here".

So I do my stuff, looking the the rearview mirror, oh there's a car...

...

WTH THAT 4WD AGAIN?! *implodes*

So my dad's like "KSJD:FLKSJDF" and I'm like D:
"LETS GET OUT OF HERE"

And we do...



.. Just to end up in the carpark of Carlo Court. ==;

And I reverse park there- no big deal this time. SO I AM REVERSING, and then I see this green car, and I joked to my dad

"haha I'd be hilarious if it was mum"
D: say hi to your mum
B: lol
Then I turn around and look at the driver of hte green car

O_O WTH. IT WAS MY MUM, but she wasn't looking at me. ;D She was just looking bored =.= (unrelated- I just realised how big grapefruit seeds are. Fricking massive!) I changed gear to adjust the car, and when I turned around, she was gone.

Story of my life. Mother doesn't recognise the car she drives half the time, AND doesn't realise her daughter of 17.5 years is waving at her like a crazy maniac in the other car. D:

SHE WAS LIKE 2 METRES AWAY. D::

Maybe it's just me. I just like watching other people (lol) when they're in their cars (lol) especially during traffic jams.

When I was driving home from Chatswood we got stuck in this MASSIVE jam just before we got to Epping- it was JUST FRICKING MASSIVE. So I just looked at the rear view mirror- and honestly, it's like watching TV without subs (hahaa.. yeaah I love DigitalTVwith subtitles) and wihtout sound. There was this Asian couple in the car behind, and the woman was learning how to drive. They talked and used really crazy hand gestures. Funny thing was, it was all quite friendly etc in the beginning, but then they must have gone on to talk about some kind of touchy subject because they both got angrier and angrier and angrier and they were fully SHOUTING.

So I opened to window to see whether I could catch bits of what they were saying and oh my goodness, they must have had their windows open because it was so loud. ;D

My dad NEVER opens the windows so he was like D:< WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
B: LOL DAD LOOK AT THEM *points to the mirror*
D: WTH. FOCUS ON YOUR DRIVING.
B: We haven't moved for 5 minutes.
D: FOCUS ON YOUR DRIVING. STOP WATCHING OTHER PEOPLE.

5 Minutes or so later, we've moved about 10m down the road, it's still congested. He starts laughing and points out his window and says "look at that man, he's picking his nose".

=.=


NGAARR. Driving is so hard.

Sometimes I really want to kick my dad out of the car. He's so picky.

AND ALSO he doesn't count my "learning hours" so it gay. I drove so much today but he only counted 2 hours and 10 mins of it.

I AM NEVER GOING TO GET MY Ps.

WHEN I DO, I WILL SERIOUSLY BE THE BEST P PLATER ON THE ROADS. (I will also probably be like 25 or something D: )


Digressing,

I've decided that perhaps a cadetship is not as beneficial than I first though and perhaps I should just go for a comm/arts degree.

Why arts? Media? I'd like to study media for a year before I go for things like Law.

:) YES, HOW AMBITIOUS OF ME. Comm/Law in 2nd year. Howzat? When I graduate in 5 or so years I can say... "I'm a lawyer" :O and also say "I'm an accountant/economist etc"

My goodness. Thinking about it cheers me up so much. I thought that filling out applications and such would be easy peasy, but I was wrong. I find it hard :/ because I have to think hard about the answers I put in, and then be prepared to let other people judge what I think etc. D: D: My mind is so messed up. Damn those anti-biotics. They aren't working D: WHY AM I GETTING WORSEEEEEE. (and apparently now the doc wants me to take POWDERED ANTIBIOTICS.. swallowing the ginormous pill is bad enough, but DRINKING IT DISSOLVED IN WATER? *cries*)

I hate being sick.

Happy studying everyone. I'll go back to blowing my nose.
