Blah di blah di blaaaahhh

I'm finally in my last semester of my degree!
I received a Distinction for the class I did last semester. I have 13 weeks and two classes to pass and then I will have officially finished.
Sure, I'm going to be away on the Soundwave tour for 3 of those weeks but I know I am perfectly capable of staying on top of the work.
Tomorrow night the girls and I will get together and finally plan accommodation, we kind of chilled out once all the flights were in place so now we need to get back into thinking the situation is slightly urgent...what with it being 8 weeks away and all.

I am getting my first tattoo on Friday! I am going with one of best friends so she will be able to hold my hair back if I decide to freak out and vomit. I do however think it will go well and promise to post photos on here when it has healed. It is only going to be small but I think the mood takes me I will be inspired to have a masterpiece created on my arm but lets not let me get ahead of myself. My first tattoo is actually two small tattoos. One that means a very large amount to me and the other one means nothing. The more visible one is the one that means nothing. I have made that choice because I want something just for me. People do judge whether we like it or not and I don't want to feel the need to explain anything.
'what does your tattoo mean?'
'nothing, i just like it'

Too easy.
Well, there is my rant for now.
Thanks for reading.

UPDATE...UPDate...Update...update..

Wow, I haven't actually posted in so long.
So, what is going on...
I have been preparing to go on the whole tour for Soundwave Revolution! It's very exciting, I have a position with heaps of responsibility and I get to do it with some of my best friends!
It is more money than I have ever spent on an 'experience' before, which means that I have been working my butt off. However, this is something I really want and will be totally worth it.

To earn the money to take this adventure on, I have been working heaps. Way more than I have in my life. I have been doing 90 hour fortnights, night shift and getting very little sleep. I have no savings to show for it, but I have found out that the more I work, the more I care about my job. I have taken to helping improving the morale in my department, writing processes and procedures and other extra tasks that I don't HAVE to do but keep me interested and focused.

It looks like I will be heading to Bali next year as well! I am very excited about this as I will be using my annual leave to go ON HOLIDAY, not to study or work for free somewhere else! hahaha.


Yes, this means there is a great giant hole where my saving for interning in the USA should be. I have been thinking about it a lot. I think I still will be able to save for it and do everything else I want to do, such as Bali, Soundwave Revolution, move house and find a different job. I mean, why the hell not. I think I am just going to continue with this life and live it the way I want to.

I have given up on going out every weekend. It's weird, I missed it at first, but now I realise I can afford to have more in life than just waking up feeling like shit on a Sunday morning. It's crazy to settle down, but at the same time it means I can lead a more fulfilling and exciting life, rather than living weekend to weekend.

Oh dear.. I can't be bothered reading what I just wrote it feels THAT ranty and nonsensical....
I'll check back and fix it later...
but thanks for reading!
