Hi, my name is Susie and this is really just a place for me write useless shit.
Nights like last night really makes me appreciate my friends. We have gone through weird phases of non friendship but getting together to bowl was so fun. We all go out to dinner together pretty regularly but we don’t see each other as frequently as we used to. Every Friday night was my house, watching movies and laughing until the early hours of the morning. Admittedly, I got immersed in my boyfriend. In chasing him to begin with then wanting to be with him all the time in the early days. So the Friday night ritual began to wean off. But last night really made me miss them. Of course I love nothing more than those nights in bed with my boyfriend watching tv shows and movies but it’s nice to get out, not with the intention of partying but just to spend quality time with people who make you happy. I don’t know why I am being sappy and sentimental lol. I think with exams nearing and my full time work ending. I’m seeing some light at the end of the tunnel and feeling so much happier an appreciative of the great life that I have.
I feel incredibly happy today. I think due to the weekend I just had. I played bingo with my two friends on Friday night. I caught up on some homework on Saturday arvo because my boyfriend was working. I caught up with ex Safeway work mates Saturday night which included a much needed catch up with my best friend. Sunday I spent all day with my boyfriend. We went and visited my other best friend at her work and bought some stuff for his cat. We got lunch at schnitz (first time, it was delicious!!) and bought stuff for our mums for mothers day. Then caught up on some of our shows from Friday night. Then went and watched ev and my family play basketball. They lost lol but I didn’t care cos I was watching my little niece the whole time who was adorable! After that I went and had dinner for mothers day with ev’s family and grandparents. It was really good. I’ve started to feel more apart of the family. It’s a really good feeling. Just lucky I guess that his family are so lovely.
More news, I just finished the day training the new junior admin girl who will eventually replace me. She seems promising! All in all a good day. Which I have been lacking lately

It’s 9 am and unfortunately I’m awake. No such thing as sleeping in when you have a full time workers body clock. On the up side, I’m still in bed with my boyfriend asleep and wrapped around me. We’ve pretty much spent all weekend together and it’s been really good. But I haven’t been neglecting my friends like I have been more recently. Had dinner with one and watched a movie with two others and also ev. Balanced out well. I usually also have dinner every fortnight or so during the week with a bunch of them. I’ve found the balance was getting hard. After work I pretty much have to start studying to stay on top of things because I fail to do it ok the weekends. So missing a day of studying during the week always gets me nervous. I’m really looking forward to going back to part time. I think I’ll be able to utilize my time during the week more effectively with more time spent on study rather than work. Sure I loved the money of full time work but I wasn’t doing anything great with it. Saving up to by lavish presents for my friends and boyfriend. I can wait a year or two before getting some good cash and starting to think about saving for the bigger things in life. Owning my own home in the end is a huge deal for me. That will be my first measure of success. But I can wait. So I’m spending my last few weeks of full time work on the up coming New Zealand trip and then afterwards I’ll pretty much be part time. I needed change in my life. I felt like I was in a rut but this change has been positive for me. The thought of accelerating my course one year. The thought of managing better marks. The thought of having more time to spend on fitness. They are all the things that excite me and hopefully I will spend the time and make the marks I want to. I’m looking forward to a better life
Neglect, neglect, neglect… Not only tumblr but everything and everyone. I have been stuck in a bubble of stress between work and uni - I’ve barely had the motivation to do anything else. Thankfully I submitted my last assignment for this semester, I didn’t do great to be honest but at least I submitted something. It was hard - uni is getting harder. I’m glad I’ve made the decision to step down from full time work and start concentrating more on uni. The balance was getting really hard to maintain, hopefully this will prove more beneficial.
Flights are booked - so this semester break, my boyfriend and I will be heading to New Zealand for a bit of snow and a bit of fun. It will be good to get away. I think we’re in a good place at the moment, we’ve moved on from the issues that have been holding us back in the past.
So from now until then, I’m going to work hard on my uni stuff. Try to catch up on any weeks work that I’ve missed because of my assignments and start looking at exam papers. Exams are where I get my marks - and this round they are worth 60% so hopefully that works out well for me.
I’m hoping that now that the stress of assignments and work has passed I will hopefully be able to catch up on everything and with everyone I’ve failed to give enough attention too. Especially exercise. I haven’t gone for a run in ages and it really affects my self esteem. I had been eating really bad since easter so I had convinced myself that I had put on a million kilos and had been avoiding weighing myself. To my surprise everything was ok. Still the same size, no weight loss but no weight gain is still a pleasant thing consider the lack of exercise and over consumption. I’m hoping that going part time will enable me more time to really work on my fitness and clear my mind of all the stress.
The new financial year will be a good one. I’m promising myself that.
