Dresses

There is just something about dresses that i love. I have always loved dresses, even when i was going through that moody, pre-pubescent "i will wear only baggy, black clothing" phase. I was just in denial.
We have what i like to call a progress report from when i was little, and it says that my favourite activity is to "twirl about in frilly dresses" which is still true today.

I have several favourite dresses, but my upmost favourite i have only worn once.

I bought and altered it for a party in.. oh, about October last year? Being quite a major party, everyone has seen this dress, and i'm not one to never wear a dress i like twice, but it was at this party, in October, that i met mister Michael who then became my boyfriend in April. So it's kind of linked with that memory... meeting a really nice boy who wasn't on the internet and actually took an interest in me for the first time. 

I really want to wear this dress again, though. Ah well maybe i'll have the confidence to soon.

In other news, here are a selection of dresses i have loved over the years from ModCloth.com, which i plan to sew at some point in time (probably this Summer)

 

I'll let you know if i make any dresses this Summer, which i should do, because they are so much fun to make.

Ugh.

Sorry for not blogging or whatever. Only two or three people read this so i don't know why i'm even bothering.

"Gilbert darling, don't lets ever be afraid of things. It's such dreadful slavery. Let's be daring and adventurous and expectant. Let's dance to meet life and all it can bring to us, even if it brings scads of trouble and typhoid and twins!" 

Do you know what i'm afraid of? Not the dark. Not being alone or lost or death or anything like that. I'm not afraid i'll never find someone to love me, i'm not afraid i'll get murdered and i'm not afraid of choking on small objects, which is apparently a very serious fear that some percentage of the population experience. They worry too much in my opinion.
Where was i? Oh, right, the thing i am afraid of... i appear to have forgotten what it was. Oh well.

You know what? I don't really enjoy Nursing. No, that's a lie, I enjoy Nursing, i'm just not passionate about it.
I wonder what i am passionate about... i'm sure i'll find out in due course. It'll probably be something cheesy like a person or something. Cody, watch out.

Maybe that's it, i'm afraid i'll never find my "calling" in life... it certainly isn't Nursing.  Well, it might be a specific field of Nursing, and i just haven't realised it yet. I don't know. But somehow i don't think it is Art, either... So i'm feeling lost at the moment. It's not a good feeling.

Maybe i will go live under a bridge and fling stones at small children. 

Tea

So i finally got around to uploading the vlog i recorded last month, it's really quite terrible but is better than nothing!

So far this year i have tried countless different types of herbal tea, but i still want more suggestions! So go leave me a comment with your top three teas that you would recommend and i'll try them out :)

Not much more from me today i'm afraid, i am really very ill and might go to sleep soon, but i still need to make a start on an assignment.

I just want cuddles and... well anything. Any TV show you like.

I'm still sick!

This cold is not getting better, it is getting worse.
I have a feeling that i'll be spending my entire day in bed, reading and attempting to start my first assignment for this semester... but it's not due until Monday and we all know what i'm like.

Slightly, well, completely off topic, but i think Michelle Dockery was a perfect casting choice for Susan Sto Helit in the TV movie of Hogfather. I also wish they would do more film renditions of Pratchett books... I loved Going Postal and all the others, they are always done so well! Besides, i need something other than Doctor Who to entertain me on these sick days. Which i don't think i'll ever be rid of. This is the longest i have been sick in forever!

Might go open my window, it's really sunny out today!

Mum has just brought me the Show magazine, brb checking out showbags.

This has been a horribly short post... here, have a picture of us at the Adelaide Show in 2008;

i was a cool kid.

I'm paying attention, honest!

I am really terrible at listening in lectures. I'm in one right now, and the lecturer is really interesting but i am just too tired!
I have decided that i need to spend more time at home studying, as well as paying attention in classes or lectures, because currently all i do at home is tumblr and facebook and general social interaction type things. This, of course, is not at all good for my studies! I'm very slow to get back into uni mode, but i'm getting there. 4 weeks in and i'm finally doing my readings, getting folders and printing off lecture notes. I have no idea what else to talk about here...

Did you know that the speed of conduction along a Myelinated fiber is approximately 150 meters a second? We're learning about the nervous system and reaction times for motor commands.

Got drenched walking to uni, decided that i probably should have accepted the offer of an umbrella from mum this morning.
Went to my Biology class, actually did work... went to Cultural Perspectives on Health and found i missed a lot when i was sick last week, and now have an entire DVD to try and catch up on so that i can actually start the first assignment.
Met up with a friend who i met last year at Uni, she continued on in the course i met her in and is now doing Printmaking electives and i think going on to be an art teacher, which is cool. I realised half way through our lunch that i hadn't even really said anything, she was just rambling on and there wasn't much time for me to talk. I didn't mind, of course, it was just odd because usually it is me who is the chatterbox.
Went to the Mortlock Wing to do some studying in the rest of my two hour break but all the tables were taken. Ended up chilling in the general part of the State Library instead. Which was better in the long run anyway as i think i'd have fallen asleep in the Mortlock Wing because it's so cozy in there!


Now i'm going to continue learning about the nervous system. After that i'll plug myself into some Frank Sinatra and saunter on down to the train station and catch a train home. If anything excited happens i'll let you know tomorrow!

Still cannot believe i am managing to post every day... wow.

   Sincerely,

Victoria
