68 days until Uni! EEK!

Not a lot has been going on lately, I’m feeling much more “happier” in my mental health, to the point I almost did Zumba today, then I opened my pay slip and BAM power bill has been taken out. $102, times 2 because the flattie will be paying the same, plus $70 each for our allowance… ER. This isn’t why I wanted to post. (I.. Didn’t do Zumba, the little fit I had at the Rec room was enough exercise!)

There is only a few more months to go until I start uni, 68 days to be exact! I’m really excited, but I don’t think I’m prepared enough! I have a lot of things around my house (flat.. Thing) that need to be packed up and put into storage, or just sell it on / give it away.

I have a queen sized bed that has a home for a few months after I leave, and then I’m not to sure where I’m going to put it, I don’t really want to sell it, it’s my first big buy!

But aside from all the crap I need to shift out, pack up, and sell or trash, I feel like I need to buy things for Uni, but I’m unsure of WHAT!

Jared says all I need is paper and pens, a bag to carry things in, even though in High school all I used was a folder. I was so fashionable! It was very colorful, but pages would always fall out.

I want a new lap top for uni, because the one I have now, the only mode of computing I have (aside from my Android I guess) is almost 4 years old! It has no back to it, and HAS to be sitting on a cooler pad, and it needs new thermal paste on it every now and then.

I don’t intend on taking a lap top TO uni, I would much prefer to write notes, I think a lap top would be so distracting, plus reading notes from a lap top when you’re supposed to study? FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, TUMBLR, ALL THE THINGS THAT ISN’T STUDY!!!!!

But I want it because I want to write essays on it. (Or, assignments… I don’t really know the difference), I don’t want to have to go to the computer lab all the time, I want to research in my room!

But…. Jared says no. No I can’t have a new lap top. I can’t afford one, which is TOTALLY true. I have a new budget, and in a month I should be DEBT FREE. DEEEBBBBTTT FRREEE. After that I want to save for a holiday to go away with Jared before I start uni, so NO, I don’t have extra money.

BUT what about when my already 4 year old lap top breaks half way through 2013 (When my DEGREE starts because in 68 days I am just doing a Foundations course) and I’ve spent the $1000 allowance for books etc on.. BOOKS?!? Then I have to SAVE for a lap top? While paying rent? While buying food to live off?

NEIN. I want a lap top NOW. Just a little one, (OK I actually want a computer so I can play Sims3) but I’d be find with a small lap top, (none of this note book crap, I want to run ALL THE THINGS on it). I COULD put one on HP, but more debt.. I shouldn’t do that. I need to be debt free in 68 days.

I also need to buy sheets and decorations for my room, the bed in the room is a single, my current bed is a queen. these things are cheap and I can do that any old pay day.

I also have a savings account set aside for clothes, because I have accumulated a lot of work clothes, and not a lot of normal.. Teenager > young adult clothes, buy the end of June I should have a few hundred to go on a small shopping spree! (I HATE CLOTHES SHOPPING. FYI)

So, SIXTY EIGHT DAYS UNTIL UNI! (Official lectures anyway). I totally just wrote “SEXTY”.

On a side note, I’m trying to get AS MUCH ATTENTION AS POSSIBLE to these blog posts:

When will bullies stop? & An update. I know I only get very few visitors here, but I’m asking for you to read these two posts (or even just the first one) and share them! I really want to change things with bullying, and I don’t know how, I need help! So please SHARE or at lest re-tweet my tweets! HERE is the tweet with both URLs. Or you can make your own. Please help guys! Name calling is one thing, physically abusing is another!

Bullies, when will they stop?

by jana on 26th Apr 2012 · Leave Comment.

I’ve edited this, as when I first posted it, it was in rage, and some things I say may be offensive to others, while everything I’ve said is true, it is only my view point, and I don’t want anyone thinking that my family and / or friends are affliated in any way with what I’ve said,

I’ve just been informed that my sister was beaten up on school ground on Tuesday, over the simple fact that she likes Justin Beiber.

I’m not sure exactly what went down, but from my mothers info, she was standing up for herself on Facebook, because obviously people are going to bully her about Justin Beiber, hell, I joke about it with her, but these bullies have taken it to far, and when she went to school, she was beaten up.

My sister attends Hastings Girls High School, which when I attended a few years back, and I highly doubt it has changed, there were a lot of girls who made going to school feel intimidating, girls would attend from the surrounded suburbs which are well known for violence, drug and alcohol abuse, and gang related crime. I myself hated attending that school, while I did have friends, I was still scared to attend school. There was always girls being bullied, weather physical or mentally, teachers generally just turn a blind eye to it. I was actually attacked just for walking around in the close-by town at night, but it wasn’t on school grounds, so it’s a different story to what I’m telling now.

From the information I’ve read, my mother wants to press charges, but can’t, as it’s up to the school to do so, and the school hasn’t done much about it, I think the girls where stood down from school, but not expelled, they’ve also said that it’s Georgas fault because she was sticking up for herself on Facebook, and if she had, I guess “kept her mouth shut” on Facebook, then none of it would of happened.

Are they saying it’s OK to beat people who stand up for what they believe in? Pretty much.

I have had it with bullying. I am so LIVID at these girls, there is no denying how much I would like to do to them what they did to my sister, but it’s wrong, I shouldn’t, and as much as I believe they should get what they gave, I don’t support anyone else inflicting that upon these girls.

If the school doesn’t press charges, and my mother can’t press charges personally to these girls, I am going to find a way to bring justice to these people, and disgrace their families. Weather I have to personally lay charges against the school for not providing a safe environment for my sister to be educated in, and not doing anything about an assault, or if I have to press charges based on the stress they have caused my family.

I will be posting this on my verious forms of social commuincation, so I do ask people re-blog, re-tweet, share, like, re-post ANYTHING. Justice NEEDS to be served. I am SICK of bullies getting away with things like this, I am mentally scarred from what happened to me, and my sister could of been physically impaired for the rest of her life.

If the school does nothing about these girls, then I am calling for media to bring Hastings Girls High School to the public’s attention, lack of discipline both teachers AND parents are responsible for.

I am SICK of bullies, and what they have done to my life, and now my sisters life.

If I could go back in time..

The last few days have kind of been looking up. I’ve been listening to my iPod which I have some Audio books on, so instead of concentrating really hard on everything, I have something that calms me down, because I’m trying to peice together bits of the stories etc. I’m still doing my job though! I just seem to work better when I have my iPod. Specially when I have to milk with my flat mate. But we won’t go there because today is A HAPPY POST!

I have once again developed my small obsession with History, Medieval times, although going through Wikipedia, it turns out the times I would love to travel back to and live in etc, are classed as “Modern History“, which sounds totally boring when you just hear the words, but then you look it up, and HEY! KING HENRY THE EIGHTH WAS IN THAT TIME!

I understand how foul eveything may smell compared to todays clean world, how dirty and cold it would be (although, with “global warming” maybe it was nice and warm, but I doubt it). But from the books I’ve been reading ((Which I know are fictional)) they have big parties, and the men take care of the woman and you can just be a house wife! The only issue I have is not taking care of my own babies.

That’s right, I said it, I would enjoy a man ruling over me, not having equal rights… I said it and it’s my blog so HA.

Maybe I could be like Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby, I read about her in The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory, not that I’m very religous, but she had visions of her son being King, and she married for the sake of that, and in the end, he was king! (I’m not great at explaining.. Can you tell?).

Just to be in the “court” would be fun! To be a lady in waiting… Although I may get myself into trouble, I’m not sure how I’d be as a person back in those times, or to be as a Dutchess, and own lands and houses and be the Kings Mother. To have great feasts and dances and lavish weddings and lots of gossip!

At the moment I am trying to do a Legacy Challenge in the Sims 3, medieval based, you get to make your own King and Queen, but I’m finding it hard.. The idea seems awesome, but setting it up is time consuming, “getting into” the game is time consuming too. Erk.

Anyhow. THIS IS ME BEING HAPPY. BACK IN TIME. Can anyone recomend some more books on the same Genere? Around that same time period? Earlier?
