No more Maths or Internals ever!
Today I finished my last internal forever! And my last ever anything to do with maths forever!! So freeking exciting! I now only have to focus for another two weeks for Biology and English, another three for Classics and another four for Social Studies..... And then never again.... Until February when university starts, but that's different to being at school as it will be working towards something that I want to do, to have a purpose to doing the work and and learning the stuff :)

Ollie.. And the dog food bag! -Video
When we buy bags of dog food or cat food for that matter we open them, EMPTY the contents into the appropriate corresponding containers and leave the bags in the lounge for the dogs to play with! I managed to capture Ollie going right inside of the 8kg bag of dog food a couple weeks ago. Allie does this too quite a bit, she loves the cat food ones more!

TV Habits.. Told you I would
Yeah, my tv habits are not the best.
I spend maybe two hours infront of the TV some days, none other days. I record a lot of programs on the TV box to watch later as often I am not home to watch them. It doesn't help that when i go away for two weeks all the programs set to record get deleted though... Parents that don't know how to work the telle... That instance I was able to catch up online though, so it wasn't too bad.
Every night I record/ watch Home and Away which is an Australian program that aires over here mon-fri at 5.30pm, and then Shortland Street which is a New Zealand program airing also mon-fri at 7pm.
Then I also watch a couple mindless comedies or just random programs where you don't really have to follow whats going on which means you don't have to think to hard!! Ha.
The one hour weekly shows I watch are Grey's Anatomy (finally caught up on during the last school holidays!!!), Private practice (I haven't yet started watching this season thats been on for a couple months... they are waiting for me...) and when we did have Sky TV I would constantly have Air Crash Investigation on as I have a love for planes and just the mechanics and stories behind it all. Doesn't scare me off flying either!!
I have a love for documentaries too but we don't exactly get that many any more because we only have freeview and not sky which means that we have the basic TV programs you can get here.
On December 1st the whole country will be digital and that means that you must have a box which you get the TV channels through, for most people (everywhere but Auckland/Northland) are digital already. Its been in process of happening for the last 2 years or so.
I miss the sky, but I managed to get Mum to buy the freeview box that recorded 2 channels at once while you can watch another. If we didn't have it, we would be paying a ton in internet usage as I would be streaming it through tvnzondemand or the TV3 one...
How do you write so much about TV your wondering? I have no idea what the answer is to that apart from the fact I like waffling and thats how I managed to pass a Bio test I just did a couple days ago... add in the right term in the right context and waffle your life away... and then pass, more than the pass rate threshold too!! LOL.

Caregiving and School
As you know, I started my caregiving orientation at the end on September.. And it is now nearing the end of October!!
I completed orientation last weekend and Sunday night and last night I did my first official shifts by myself. They actually went pretty well, I worked Sunday 3-9- originally I was doing 7-1 but Mum wanted to swap shifts with me so that she could go to a baby shower. In the end it worked out perfectly as I got asked to baby sit on the saturday night. After work on sunday I got home and started on the finishing of my classics internal which I finished by 1am, and then as I was packing my bag for school I realized that I had also got an english internal due the next morning at 9am too! So I had to quickly finish that off and print it before going to bed. I ended up watching Fridays episode of Home and Away before going to bed a 2am.
I went to school on 4-5 hours of sleep, and then had to go to work 3-11 that afternoon too! So after finishing all my internals for this week (I only have ONE more due forever- which is done as a test over three class periods) having very little sleep Sunday night, and then being up until 12.30am this morning, I will get to go home after school tonight and blob out and watch the episodes of tv programs that I have missed over the last five days!
On the topic of school... I have exactly two weeks and one day until I'm finished!!!!
More on my tv habits one day... soon :)

Back to school for my last 17 days ever...
Tomorrow will mark the beginning of my last term of high school ever! I have 17 days left, Monday to Friday for the next two weeks, then Tuesday to Friday the third week as that Monday is a public holiday and then I have Monday 4th Nov, Tuesday (my 18th), then Wednesday which is going to be my last day ever! I am not even sure if it is a full or just a half day as we have graduation/ prize giving that evening. I will then be on study leave from the 6th November where I have four exams over the course of the following month.
Biology on the 12th, English on the 14th, then a weeks gap with classics on the 22th, and Social Studies on the 3rd December. Then school will really be over and I will have the next three months off where I will be working before starting university at the end of February.

Back on the bike
And so today, it marked the day of my first time back riding my bike- I had no pain in my knee it was so good! I haven't ridden my bike since at least May (when I had the surgery) and so to be back on it as the warmer weather is showing now, getting warmer leading up to summer!
On the way we stopped for lunch, then we saw the damage from the recent storm that passed through which happened to be at its strongest when it is high tide, on a king tide so the sea levels were rather high and took out a lot of the built up sand around the coast, you can see evidence of this all along the Orewa Beach stretch of the coast which is a good few kilometers long (five I think). There is barriers all up along the beach front and the grass just goes straight down and all the tree roots are showing- that is all that is holding the beach front. There is still a lot of debris on the beach as well.
I don't have pictures of the South end of the beach where the damage is a lot worse as the height of the sand/grass walls are a lot higher!!!

Even old steps were uncovered...
This use to be covered in sand...
Saw this mailbox too- very cool!
We then went and got ice-creams...
And Allie got licks too- her treat :-)

Accommodation at Uni
As many of you may know, I have been completing a bazillion of application forms and having to send in and sort things out for university. Today I went and handed in my application for Nursing at Massey University, and when I got back home I found an email from Massey saying that I have been offered a place at the Massey University Albany Campus accommodation which is very very exciting!
I don't think I will find out whether I have a place in the nursing program or not until mid January when school exam results come out. I potentially could be offered a place which would be dependant on my results though in December.

New job... (another)
Its official!!
I have a new job! Caregiving.
I started caregiving orientation Monday just gone. After a day of that with Wendy who actually also lives with us I got stuck back cleaning as one of the main cleaners are on holiday and they had no other back up for it- I have been cleaning at the hospital since the end of last year. Next week I am suppose to be doing the rest of my orientation as a caregiver and then I will be working in the weekends and between exams until I am officially on summer break after all my exams are over and done with and I don't have to go back to high school ever!!!
