Day Off Tomorrow! Weeee!

ok so i have a bit of insomnia. I've taken a sleeping tablet but still cannot sleep. luckily i have a day off tomorrow, its a public holiday here called Memorial Day, i think its like our ANZAC Day. Just got off the phone to Uncle B and Phoenix and Kaelan, it is really good to chat to people from home, and the kids make me smile just by hearing their voices so it was a good pick me up! Today i went for a walk and then went to the gym, i must have been feeling energetic. This backfired at about 5pm this afternoon when i decided i did not want to go out drinking as i was absolutely stuffed....note to self, drink first then exercise....wait that didn't really come out right. i meant exercise when i am not going to go out to avoid the 'i'm too tired' excuse....one i seem to be pulling too regularly. I'm not really a club girl, i did try for a while there but nah, i find my own company and that of my computer alot more stimulating than going to a club where you can't hear a word anyone is saying, only to be ignored by half the group you went with because they are all trying to hook up! Puhlease! i'd rather stay home, and live through their experiences when they retell the next day! Plus i get the bored look on my face in the club that people think i put on to make myself seem more interesting, but really, i'm just bored :) i think i might go to the movies tomorrow, then maybe go for a quiet margarita with some girls from school.....is there ever such a thing as a quiet margarita?? I'm not even sure that i can drink tomorrow if it is like ANZAC day.....Anyway peace out peeps, i'll try and post something less rambling and nothing-like another day.....lack of sleep is melting my brain....

some movies for thought. So far we've been given movies to review that excel in the field that we are learning about each week. I've made the list so far and i'll edit it as i got along, only one more week of movies anyway:

The Sea Inside (Aging Makeup)

La Vie En Rose (Aging Makeup)

Pirates of the Caribbean 1 (for Hand Layed Hairwork)

Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 (for Lace Piece Hairwork)

Passion of the Christ (for Hand Layed Hairwork)

Austin Powers 1, 2 and 3 (for Bald Cap)

Philadelphia (Bald Cap)

Fight Club (injury simulation)

The Salton Sea (Character Development)

Despite having to watch these in a learning sense, they are actually still really good movies so i suggest you watch them! 

Love you all!

Update

Ok so going into week five of school and week six of being here. i cannot believe how time is flying here. it seems like there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done. i just finished my old age exam, which went well, i think, we just get told 'pass' or 'redo' and i got told i passed so that is all i need to hear apparently =) I start beards and hairwork on monday so that will be tough, really tough, but fun!

Uncle George and Aunty Helen are here at the moment, we went to this awesome restaurant last night that had this pond flowing through the middle, covered and filled with fish, so that when you walk along it looks like you are walking on water, plus the fish look up your skirt, i'm sure of it...We had lobster and garlic noodles, plus a mixed platter thing and then some more garlic noodles and tiger prawns. I'm going to Santa Monica with them tomorrow so that will be good. 

Today i went and got a hair cut and a manicure and pedicure. pampering is really quite good for the soul. i was only going to go and watch the girls get theirs but when it came down to it, i really wanted to get it. the hairdresser took a little bit too much of the length of my hair but it still looks pretty good, i'm happy, it doesn't feel so dead! plus my nails are a garnet colour, so are my toes, so its nice not to look down and see chipped nail polish and PLUS i got to sit in a massage chair while they did it. very relaxed! 

Anyway i have only a little bit of time before i go out, possibly, i don't know. i better go and join the conversation about where/what/when we are going. its a bit of a shamozzle. 

Love you and miss you all

Kate
