BEDIM Day 9

Ok, so apparently the reason I don't know anything about Kony is because it was all over FaceBook and I don't have FaceBook... so there you go. It can't be that big of a deal. I mean, I haven't even seen it on any of the newspapers.

Anyway, last holidays I was REALLY bored, and I started to watch the Vlogbrothers videos from the beginning. When I came across the song Nerdfighteria Island, I just had to draw my version of Nerdfighteria. And here it is:

Yes, I know, I did the YouTube sign wrong. I didn't even realise until I finshed making the picture and I was so annoyed with myself for not realising it.

If you would like to know what each thing is, below is the named version, but some of the main things are the exploding TARDIS as the Sun, the Death Star as the Moon, Nermie Army Pirate Ship, Bad Wolf Bay up the top of the island, Pixar and Disney complex's, the guitar is called This Machine Studios, and there is a French Llama Paddock at the side :)

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 8

So, I have now officially made a week writing for this blog every day... And I'm already running out of ideas.

So yesterday I had my first shift for my work. I think I got the hang of things quite quickly, but just remembering what to do with the discounts and vouchers is annoying. Also, the till doesn't always open, but I have found out a secret way to make it open for me. Today I mainly did the serving, which was good, but got really boring at times, mainly because everyone comes in massive dribs and drabs.

At the moment, I'm sitting here, watching My Kitchen Rules and the cricket finals simultaneously whilst my sister is over at the other computer, crying her eyes out. We had this discussion at dinner, where she told us of this guys called Kony in Uganda doing something or other to kids, and he's been on the run for 10 years or something.I haven't been home all day, so I haven't had the chance to even look at the news. Anyway, I got home just as The Project were doing their news wrap up, and there was nothing. In the mX newspaper I got on the tram, there was nothing. You'd think that something this big, would be everywhere, but it wasn't. I had to Google something very specific to get to the article. And now, she's crying. Boo hoo.

Anyway..........

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 7- Good Things

So many thing are going on with me. Good things.

1. I have training for my job this afternoon. I've managed to meorise the drink, combos and the symbols for the pies. Just need to know the order now.
2. I finished reading The Fault in Our Stars last night. I cried like a baby, oh my gosh! I was actually planning to read it on the tram this morning, thank god I didn't otherwise I would look really stupid... you know, crying on a tram.
3. My lecture this morning was really early, and whilst that may be bad, I got to come back home before I would normally wake up. So that basically means that I get the rest of the day to myself (until work) which is awesome.
4. I watched MKR last night and the people I don't like, Peter and Gary, got into the elimination.
5. Sammy J and Randy are on the Comedy show I recorded. Sammy and J and Randy are awesome.
6. Charlie and Alex released new videos. Also, Dave Days' new song comes out today.
7. Did I mention I have a job? :)

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 6

So tomorrow, I have my first ever proper job thing at a pie shop. I have to memorise the order of the pies for tomorrow, and I'm not really sure how to go about that. I've never been good at memorising things in the past, so I really hope that I'll be able to remember them.

In other news, this is the first post I've written from another location - Deakin. I have a two hour break, and one of those is without any of my friends. I tried to do some of my science assignment, but I'm just not motivated enough at the moment.


I still have to call up the other place and decline their offer of employment, otherwise I'm going to be in big doo-doo... just like Jar Jar. And I have to call my piano teacher to reschedule my lesson. *Sigh*, so much to do, so little time. WHY IS TIME SO FLEETING!?

This morning I had my first lecture for my education unit in my course. It was fun. Again, I don't know if it's just because it's the first lecture, but I like it. For the same unit, next week I have to bring an artifact to class about something from my schooling years. I think I might bring a Coles bag because when I was in Year 7, I was a total nerd and carried around my books in a green and/or blue Coles bag. I have to make an annotation for it too ... It might say something like: "Arm-breaker: *blah blah blah*" mainly because my books... well, pencil case, always made it really heavy and carrying it was annoying. I dunno.

I have my Children's Texts lecture next, which should be interesting. They can explain to everyone why we have to read Twilight...

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 5 - First Day

So today was my first day at Deakin Uni, and Oh. My. Gosh. It was so much fun! I don’t think it would always be that exciting, mainly because this week is mainly a “getting to know each other” type of week, but I hope it stays fun.

First off, I had my Language lecture, which, wasn’t so fun, but it was really interesting and the lecturer was funny, leading me to believe that I have made the right choice.

At 12 I had my science tutorial, which I wasn’t really looking forward to, and I couldn’t find the class for ages, but it turned out to be alright seeing as it was a getting to know you lesson. That class also has a deaf person, so they have an interpreter standing up the front. The teacher said to try not and get distracted, but it didn’t really work...

At 2 I had my education class where we pushed the tables back, sat in circles, imitated animals and drew pictures in oil pastel and crayon. It was so much fun, and it looks like the future classes are going to be similarly fun.

One thing that is a little weird, is that I get to call my lecturers and tutors by their first names. But I’ll get used to it, just like I’ll have to get used to kids calling my Miss Meacco.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 4 – Starship Troopers

So a couple of nights ago, Starship Troopers was on, and I recorded it because it was on late at night. I had heard it was what Starship, Starkid’s latest production, was based on. But I didn’t expect it to be so similar. Don’t get me wrong, it’s exciting that it’s so similar, but I just can’t take it seriously after seeing Starkid do something similar.

First, there is a character like Krayonder, he even had a knife thrown at his hand. The there is another guy from Farm Planet. The commander is like Up would be before his war wound. There is the tough girl who Taz emulates. Of course there is the hero, like Bug, who joins up to get away from his world. There is the best friend who just wants women (played by  a REALLY young Neil Patrick Harris), and then there are the recruition ads that are just like the Starship Ranger recrution ads. The characters are also from Buenos Aires, like Taz. It’s all very awesome.

This movie is so awesome! Even the big bad bug likes to eat their brains! IT'S AWESOME!

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

P.S. Also,  I was thinking while I was playing piano, that Amy and Rory must survive because they were on the hilltop waving to each other in Hungry Earth.

BEDIM Day 3 - Wasted Days

So today, I basically only have one good break to myself before bed. Because we're renovating our kitchen and bathroom, every single weekend we've been going out to the shops to look for bathrooms and stuff. Every. Single. Weekend. And it's SOOOOOO BOOOORRRRRRIIINNNGGGGG!!! If it weren't for my sister and I mucking around in the shops, we'd be brain dead by now.

Anyway, today we went out again and tonight we are having people over. I don't mind it, it's just I have to do some preparation work... degutting prawns. So that always takes ages, and tonight the guest probably won't leave until midnight. I'm not complaining because it's Jess and she's awesome, but I just want time to myself. It's nice to have time to myself, and I'd like to have a longer time to myself to read or whatever, but today I just don't have time.

Moral of this post: I want more time to myself :)

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 2 - What's New Pussycat?

So, a lot has changed in my life since yesterday. The most noticeable change in my life is that I have a job. So, yesterday I got a call from Nanna RICH Pies at Knox, asking if I was able to come in today. I said I was, and today, at 2, I went in. When I was there, I was told to take down notes about the order of the pies, the register, drinks and basically everything else. I did not expect any of that at all, but it’s FABULOUS! The people there are really nice to me too, and to each other which is great. Also, all their names start with J: John, Jean and Jeff. I’m such an odd one out...

After that I went to a bookshop to wait for mum to finish her shopping, and I found The Fault In Our Stars! I was really surprised because it’s Australia and we never get anything good.

In other news, I had a really cool dream last night. I was listening to VLR for basically the whole day because their latest episode is hilarious. I was listening to it in bed and I fell asleep whilst it was still playing. If anyone has listened to VLR 3x11, you’ll know what “Suckle at me Tweet” is and how funny it is in this episode. Basically, my dream was that I was there with Alex, Jimmy and Charlie at the recording when Jimmy had to decide what to tweet. I was sitting a fair bit away from Alex and Jimmy, with Charlie, and was searching up “the top 10 controversial things to say” when Jimmy came up with his tweet about J.K. Rowling. It was sort of like Sherlock in the way the scene appeared to me. For example, when Jimmy was typing into his phone, what he was typing in appeared above his phone, and above Charlie’s iPad when he was searching up what people were saying in reply to Jimmy. My dream ended when Charlie explained to Alex that a certain tweet was sent ages ago. And, when I woke up, the podcast was at the exact spot that my dream had ended! How cool is that!?!

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

BEDIM Day 1

So, it’s the first day of Blog Every Day in March. I’m wondering if I’ll actually post every day, and if this will turn into a 31 posts in 31 days.

I thought I might start by giving y’all an update. So during the past 3 days, I’ve been going into Deakin for O Week. It’s been pretty good: there was free food and free stuff. On Monday I didn’t have anything on, but I met up with a couple of friends and met a couple of new ones. There was one girl, Taylor, who is in a band called Volatile Diversity, which is made up of members from her high school. She also plays 6 (?) instruments including 3 types of guitar. Why is it, that whenever I meet someone new, they are always so unbelievably talented?

On Tuesday I had a sort of meet and greet for my course in the morning which included a campus tour. They took us to a place called the learning space and they had the most awesome chairs. I call them the “Muahaha chairs” because they look like blue versions of the Emperors chair from Star Wars. I then walked around the stalls for a bit and I got so much free stuff. I got a laptop shoulder bag (for my imaginary laptop), a cap, a fancy type hat and a few vouchers for discounted hot chocolates. Then, for three hours I went on the computers in the library until a lecture at 3.

Then, yesterday, I went in for a lecture about going out to schools. We then were separated into groups. In my group, we played a sort of speed-dating game where we would say one lie and two truths. A lot of people thought that when I said I didn’t have Facebook, that it was the lie. BUT THEY WERE WRONG! All except for one girl called Amy. My two truths were that I didn’t have Facebook and that I loved Doctor Who, and my lie was that I liked avocado. When Amy was guessing she said, “It’s not Doctor Who, because I love Doctor Who,” ... OH MY GOD! EPICNESS! So, we high fived and in a treasure hunt later, we paired up and got talking about Doctor Who. Her full name is Amy Smith, which I like because it’s a mixture of Amy Pond and Matt Smith. It was awesome. And, like Taylor, she plays HEAPS of instruments, and so much more talented then me. Fun times.

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!

An Explanation

I don’t know if anyone actually read this blog, but I know that there are quite a few people who use this blog to get pictures for each episode of Doctor Who... and lately I haven’t really properly updated my review section recently. BUT I have a reason. Well, sort of. The reason is that it’s really time consuming... at least parts of the reviews are. I’ve actually written most of the reviews, but since they are also meant to feature pictures and quotes, I just need the motivation to get those two things.

I have a solution though. This March I’m going to do BEDIM, or Blog Every Day In March. I’m going to try and write a blog post everyday. If I can’t, I’ll make it 31 posts in 31 days, and try and make the quota.

I think that’s about it...

Until Next Time, Adios Amigos!
