My facial structure and a new table

, , , ...

Intersheep is looking at me and smiling :smile: Hiiiiii Intersheep!!


What's with all the freaks lately?!?!?

I was standing at the bus stop and a random freaky guy wearing a beanie walked up to me:
Random freaky guy: Hi. Are you Polish?
Me: Umm I'm half Polish
Random freaky guy: I could tell.
Me: How?
Random freaky guy: The Polish have beautiful facial structures. You have it. You definately do.
Me: *weird facial expression and a nod* Uh huh....
*Random freaky guy walks away and sits down on a bench*
:left:

Why do freaks always hang out at bus stops?


Important news!
We got a new table! WOAH! I bet you all needed/wanted to know that p: It's a bit big for our house though, but it looks better than our old one.
I'm not a religious person, but we Christened the table today, by putting the laptop on it :cool:

Back to school...or uni as I call it

, , , ...

After a month of doing nothing (getting up at 10am, staying in my PJs all day...) I went back to uni today.

The bus was full. The bus is my enemy. I day dream on the bus. I like short sentences P: I like toast with honey. I like honey crackles. Snap crackle pop :confused:

My only class today was law. It wasn't very interesting and I nearly fell asleep.

It is expected that you know about the:
Common law system and doctrine of precedent
Common law and equity law
Interplay between general and statutory law
Basic law of contract
Law of agency


:eyes: *doesn't remember*

I went pretty well. I got 2 credits and 2 distinctions....I got a credit for Finance!! 50% of people fail it!

This semester I'm doing two 3rd year (final year) courses *scared* But, I think it'll be ok :smile:

Oh, I never told you all that the commerce director guy said I can go on exchange. He said that I'm a 'splendid candidate for exchange' :D So now I'm trying to find the cheapest way to get to Germany :smile: I just need to get my dad to read my exchange application form. Then get someone who works at uni to write a reference for me. Hmm and I need to send them 2 passport sized photos. Am I supposed to smile? Should it be a passport mugshot? :confused:

Can I draw a passport sized photo of myself?

I'm sitting here eating Cadbury 'Duo' chocolate. It's dark chocolate with milk chocolate on the top :happy: But I have no one to eat it with :frown: It's no fun getting fat by yourself.

Cheese

, , , ...

For reasons beyond my knoweldge, I stopped eating cheese sometime last year.

Today, I ate 2 slices of cheese on a corn cracker :eek:

It tastes different :left: :right:

I don't know if my body will be able to cope with the sudden inflow of Ca (calcium)

I miss you

Kostenloses Essen

, , , ...

Für nichts gibt's nichts


FALSCH!

Ich liebe alles was kostenlos ist flirt Heute war ich an die Universitaet weil ich eine Reiseleiterin fuer die neuen Studenten bin. Es gab ein kostenloses Essen: Teekuchen, Sandwiches, Orangensaft und...WASSER!! (aber leider nicht heisses Wasser :worried: ) Das Mittagessen war ganz lecker.


Herr A: Hi Kim! Wow, du bist immer an die Uni!
Ich: Ja, weil es kostenloses Essen gibt :wink:


Herr D und Herr A hat das Mittagessen SEHR gut gefunden! Nach dem Mittagessen haben sie 12 Sandwiches 'entwendet' und in einem Karton versteckt. Ich habe so viel gelacht :D


Ich: Wie viele Sandwiches hast du?
Herr D: Umm...15?
Ich: haha es gibt noch viel mehr auf dem Tisch...
Herr A: Hey, hier gibts 2 mehr *grinsen* *steckt die Sandwiches im Karton*
Ich: Es gibt auch Orangensaftflaschen auf dem Tisch. Mann kann $0.05 pro Flasche bekommen!! Nimmst du sie auch zu Hause? P:


Dann haben wir Kaffee und Pfefferminz Tee bei Herr D getrunken. Ich habe immer gedacht dass, Pfefferminz Tee wie Zahnpasta schmeckt. Aber das stimmt nicht :smile: Ich habe ein neues Wort gelernt: 'Streichholzschaechtelchen'. Leider kann ich 'Streichholzschaechtelchen' nicht sagen... (die Französischen Austauschstudenten auch!) Im Moment ist mein Lieblingswort 'Luftpolsterfolie'! :D Die Austauschstudenten finde das lustig :lol:

Nach eine Stunde sind wir Einkaufen mit Frauline L (sie ist aus den USA und sagte dass es keinen Wasserkochers in den US gibt :eyes: ) in Rundle Mall gegangen. Es gibt vielen fremden/komischen Leute in Rundle Mall :left: Wir sind ins 'Target' gegangen und ich habe ein Kinder-Pferd fuer $296 gefunden. Es sieht sooooo blöd/lustig. Es gibt eine Kleidung-Sektion 'Mr Big' fuer dicken Maenner. Wenn jemand Kleidung von 'Mr Big' kauft ist es Zeit eine Diät zu machen!!




Morgen habe ich ein Treffung mit einem Studienrat an die Uni...mit ihm muss ich ueber Austausch sprechen. Hoffentlish sagt er 'Ja, du kannst einen Austausch machen' :up:


Hoffentlich ist mein Deutsch nicht zu schlecht zu lesen :smile:
Ich muss jetzt duschen und dann gehe ich ins Bett :zzz:

Carrot Cake

, , , ...

I really like carrot cakes, but the only time I ever eat them is when I go to my dad's garden club. Old woman know how to bake cakes! :smile: Then I saw Kristen's post on carrot cakes which prompted me to bake one :D

What you need:
2 cups grated carrot (you can probably use more)
1 cup self raising flour
1 cup brown sugar
0.5 cup plain flour
1 cup oil (I used peanut-so if you're allergic find something else)
0.5 cup sultanas
0.5 cup chopped walnuts
3 eggs ,lightly beaten
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

What to do:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C.
  • Grease a round cake tin (mine was around 20 cm diameter) and line the bottom with paper.
  • In a bowl combine the: carrot, flour, sugar, oil, sultanas, walnuts, eggs and cinnamon.
  • Place the mix into the tin an bake for 50-55 minutes.


This is the best cake ever! Grating the carrots provides you with some exercise, walnuts contain essential oils, carrots contain beta carotene... And it's soooo easy to make :up:




Carrot cake and hot water = :yes:


:bomb: Grrr Please forgive the bad quality of my photos. I'm going to blame it on MyOpera :D

Lunch and recent purchases

, , , ...

Welcome back to my blog (there should be a waving smiley)

It's my grandma's birthday on Tuesday so we took her out to lunch today. She said she wanted to go to 'Dundees Hotel/Dundees Crocodile and Wildlife Park'. *sigh* Yes, I actually sighed when I found out we were going there.


After 4.75 hours sleep, I travelled for 1.5 hours with my family to get to an 'all you can eat' restaurant, randomly placed on the side of a freeway... :left:

$18 buys you 'all you can eat'...not that anyone would ever eat $18 worth of food.

Left to right:
Sister- Lots of carbs, some dead animal (iron and protein) and some veggies under there somewhere
Dad- Err weren't you looking up ways to lower cholesterol on the net last night? Well, ok you've got some protein there and some greens...but I don't know what the brown stuff is
Mum- You like potato, hey? Didn't we get 5kg of potatoes for $2 on Thursday? And you paid $18 for this...?
Grandma- sat too far away so didn't get a pic



My mum also ate some prawns. Nothing more classy than ripping out the intestinal tract of a dead sea creature at the dinner table :eyes:


HOT WATER :D My meal...$0...best price EVER :up:


I took a photo of this because it looks pretty :wink: Do you prefer rouns sprinkles or the straight sprinkles?

Then we went home :D I like looking out of the window at the country side which looked like this and this in spots.

This is in a village named Callington. I like clouds.


In other news...

My mum bought 3kg of oranges!!! :yes: :hat: Oranges make me happy. So does porridge. Porridges with oranges in it makes me super happy.


I baked a lemon and poppy seed cake last week. It was definately NOT the best cake I have ever made, probably because I kind of 'invented' the recipe and didn't put enough eggs in. I still ate it though :smile:


Puma shoes are really good in my opinion. Why? I've been wearing the same pair for 5.5 years and they have only started to 'die' recently. I refuse to pay over $50 for shoes, considering shoes priced at $100 are NOT worth $100 (I do learn stuff at uni that I can apply to real life woah! :yikes: )

I found some Converse shoes in a brochure for $50. When I got to one store the woman said
'Oh it's only the blue ones that are $50. The gold are $80'
Me- So a different colour is $30?!
Woman- Yes...
Me- You can keep the shoes then p:

Then I went to another store (the same store but a different location) and took the gold shoes to the check-out. They wanted to charge me $80 for them too! However, I used my knoweldge of small print and generally annoyed the staff and got them for $50 :up:


I also bought a warm polar fleece jumper recently. It's from Paddy Pallin, an outdoor shop where the staff are soooo much more friendly and helpful than the staff in the store I got my shoes from. I asked the guy for a student discount and got one :up:

With my new jumper, I can ride a bike, go hiking and mountain climbing. Wow, a whole world of opportunities awaits me and my jumper
