Two Sunsets

This is me. On the beach, where I am working. Good, yes? Brilliant is what I would call it. The best beach in the WORLD!

Except that I'm working in an office 50 meters from this stunning beach. The water is lovely at this time of the year too... but the beach is crowded with families now too. I can't wait till February when the sea is warm, the sun is hot and there is hardly anyone there!

Last year was a tough year, but I got through it and am shining on the other end. I am really looking forward to this year! It can only look up! I hope everyone had a lovely new years. I was sitting on that beach up there, watching the full moon rise over the glassy water that was glowing pink and purple from the sky... a boat sailed past, then a flock of birds, and then a little blue penguin cruised up the beach. It was so picturesque. I wish I had my camera with me.

It's nice being away from internet and cell phone too... you can just enjoy the simple things again.

I'm alive

Above, one of my favourite people in the world, Jaime. We're such idiots. Love that girl. x

Sorry about the lack of updates, we've been scrounging internet, it seems like someone has hacked into our net in the middle of the night and stolen it. Yes. Not cool.

I started reading Eclipse (third book of the Twilight series) Friday afternoon. Finished it at 1am on Saturday. Good thing I don't have the next one yet, I have a test tomorrow on parasites for Biomed, so I've had to study for that.

Speaking of biomed, I really don't know how they expect us to remember the names of those things. It's a first year paper, and I really couldn't give a rats ass about the whole thing. I only took it as a filler. Probably should have just taken marketing in the end. Would have been more interesting. Now I'm just paranoid whenever I get a stomach ache that I've eaten a worm of some kind.

Two weeks of term left though! So excited to be going home over study break for two weeks, it will be so much easier to study at home, without my flatmates distracting me.

Then after my exams (I finish on the 14th, last day of exams, and seeing Rhys Darby, Murry from Flight of the Conchords, on the 13th. Yeah. Bad luck huh?) I'm heading up north to visit my friend Yasmin! Where she will show me some of the sights of the north, and a good time in Tauranga hopefully! Woo! Visit her blog. I then start work at Totaranui on the 1st December, my parents come up before Christmas and leave just before New Years, and I've got work till the end of February. 12 whole weeks!

I love these pieces from Etsy! {TeacupieShop, CosmicFirefly, CosmicFirefly, and BirdzNbeez}. Cuteness!

My mum and were obsessing over Etsy last night. It was fun. She said she might get me something for Christmas. Fun!

I'm going back to Wellington tomorrow night! I'm excited but glad I had so long here in the country. It's relaxing and serene. Looking outside now, it's sunny and calm, birds are tweeting and the daffodils are coming out. I love spring here, everything feels so new. Unlike in the city.

For the rest of the semester, I need to start working smarter like first semester where I did all my readings while taking notes, and studied well. I need to get good marks this semester.

I also need to do some summer shopping! I'll need about 3 bikinis for me to get through this summer working at the beach! It will be good for me to get away from internet access and cell phone reception. I can get back in touch with nature - kayaking, hiking, sunbathing, watersports. So. Excited.
