umbrella holding

how come no matter how i hold the umbrella, the back and side of me still gets quite wet? honestly, only the top of my head (i.e hair) is protected..

on the other hand, loving the beginning of cold wintry weather because i get to wear my boots around uni =)

fly undone

if you see somebody with their fly undone, do u tell the person?
apparently, there's an unspoken rule

girls can always tell other girls quietly, up to them if they want to tell guy

but guys can't tell guys cos then it'll be like- why were u staring at my crotch?

Because it happened to me the other day on the train and I was wondering- do i tell them or not? I did and the lady thanked me but I was thinking to self ( is she secretly also thinking- damm girl made me feel embarassed?)

what do u reckon?

i was walking around the main quad area and the view outside the classroom window was amazing! makes you really appreciate how gorgeous our campus is ...

trench coat for winter

can short people (i.e below 160cm) wear a trench coat? i saw one in just jeans and in big w.. gorgeous .. red.. but wearing it to uni seems a bit over the top..

what do u think?

a bit of everything

exams finished (won't do well in them but at the moment ... i m just glad they're over... please nobody tell me that i'll do fine and to not worry.. i just know cos well i didn't study super well for them)

but i think i'll do alright in all the subjects overall

secondly

party tonight.. and i learnt.. tequila is really good! much much better than vodka...
i was 'high' on 5 tequila shots for about 2 hrs ( not drunk cos i remember everything about the night including the stores, going to Kogarah Woolies laughing my head off and refusing to hand the checkout person my 5 lemons all at once, for some stupid reason, i was counting them out to him? lol =p and hugging cookie monster tightly in front of the kogarah town centre toilets and liquor land, picture me giggly-usual level TIMES about 50.. ) and then afterwards.. i was just a bit tired and slight headache and then completely fine! seriously! the only after effect -- super super thirsty for the whole night

thirdly- so many things to look forward to
dinners esp Julia's lunch =) ,
jaime- barbecue somewhere? sylv mentioned something but she wasn't entirely sure either,
joining chinese at tafe with ben ( I hope we end up on the same level!)
hopefully will fit in with busy next semester

PLUS shopping and
just being on holidays and hopefully being able to work heaps at GJs

and soccer! it's just been great! i've been so buzzed from the games =)
is ''aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi'' really that cringeworthy?

finally
secret 'guilty' albums i like ( i think that's the expression?)
shakira! how catchy is 'Hips don't like' , even more catchy than 'Whenever, wherever'
britney spears! all of her albums

name calling

LEEARNA

it's the first name i've ever seen that spelling before , another variation of my name

i just saw it today and it definitely looks like it should be pronounced

lee-arn-a

the way heaps of people call me

but i m Lee-ann-a

i've come up with the story that my parents spelt my name wrong on the birth certificate and left out an 'n'

but i still prefer it with one n

Leanna and Leeanna both look kinda long =p

back to studying for chem..

just breathe and think.. come this Friday, it will all be over!

quotes about self

australian SOCCER.. i've read so many articles today about last night's match... and i watched it from the beginning.. was too upset to watch the middle 20 minutes (about 20 minutes before australia's first goal-- i was swearing and just shaking my head ..''oh no!! australia's going to lose! please no! at least let it be a tie! ''

mum actually sent me to my room and told me to calm down.. then i came back out and I am stoked- tim cahill scores! i was so excited!! hugged kenneth so hard! 2nd goal.. shrieked so loudly i woke dad up and third goal.. WOW!! =p mum was like -- i went in for 10 minutes and they scored THREE goals?!!!! and today , walking to uni, on the train, at uni, every 2nd person was talking about it... love australia! and weetbix!

and i really like this article that Kofi Annan wrote, please click here

and all the articles about soccer uniting people.. i don't think it's just soccer.. i think it's all sports =)

on a completely different note...

1) at work -- a man told me ''you look like lucy liu! nobody's ever told u that? really?? well u do.. and take that as a compliment!''

2) ben says 'you're the epitome of ''girly weirdness'' '(something to that effect)
