New Years eve

Just before it hit nye, I ran in my pjs out into the street (LOTS OF SNOW) to my nearest Starbucks serving cafe to get a nice hot drink. What I didn't realise was that I still had my damp towel from my shower wrapped on my head.

Biggest lol moment of my life.

But anyway, I got my drink, my hair is almost dry, and I've got access to good wifi for my nightly dose of Pinterest and Facebook.

Happy New Year's Eve, friends. Party hard into 2013 :)

I'm supposed to celebrate with 2 friends finishing exchange, but I have an 8am bus ride back into NY on the same day. To suck it up or not? In ceebs mood :(


Ps. WHT: did the freedom trail today, but along the way, my boots were completely soaked through. Hopped into the nearest tj maxx and picked up a pair of GALOSHES! YAY FINALLY. Pretty much froze to death today- our activities were mostly outdoorsy ones.

New Year's Eve eve in boston

Hi guys, I'm in Boston!

Just a few days until the new year. Any time should be a good time to make a fresh start, but for some weird reason, it's easier to start afresh in the new year.

2012 was an interesting year for me. I had a fresh start at a new uni and achieved very little of what I thought I would. One of my resolutions was to eat vegan 2 days a week. That quickly changed to vegetarian, but I'm happy to say that lasted over 9 months.

I cooked more, ate more, but for some reason, stayed the same weight. I still have my gym membership and I have every intention of going in the first week of returning home (for now).

This year I learnt to share more of my life to the people that matter and in return I learned more about them - and this, I thought was the best thing that happened this year.

I think it helps me think more openly and makes me realise that whatever it is, is not as big a deal as I think it is. I'm going a little nuts overseas at the mo because I miss my friends. And no matter how convenient the net is for communicating, it just doesn't feel the same as chatting face to face.

And ugh, I now have to tell people I'm in my early twenties (wtf) but will be unable to explain why I still act like a child sometimes.

2012 will be missed, but I'm eager for 2013 to hit me in the face because I want to get a move a long. HURRY ALONG PEOPLE :)

2013's coming!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Ok this is late, but Merry Christmas guys. I've been swept off my feet this past week by New York. It's been incredibly busy!!

My foursquare feed shows a tonne of check ins at all these touristy places. I didn't realise so much could be achieved in that many days! It's been a good stay in New York. I love it here.

My Christmas Day was not spent with family, but with my friend's distant relos who live in Chinatown (serious, I come here every night, it's my home away from home). Had a delicious home cooked meal (my first one in a month!!) and listened in on lots of stories by grams and gramps. A very satisfying night in :)

It snowed last night, but not enough for the ground to be covered in white. So A brought along her canned snow and we made a little snow man in Central Park.

So much fun today. I'm way pooped out. But even so, I'm missing home very much, and I'm so glad to say that I will be back soon :)

Hope you are all enjoying your holidays!!

Food for thought

Would you ... wear red skinny jeans with animal print, as a guy?

Didn't expect the weather to be so good in Toronto.

We landed at 12.30 in the morning and got back to our accom at 1.30-2ish. There's a bit of a time difference so we were more than just a bit jetlagged in the morning. After breakfast we took a "quick nap" which went on for 3 hours =___=


Canadians are REALLY fashionable, and open (race/sexual preferences) compared to Australians. After living in this country for less than a week, my entire outlook on tolerance has changed. I normally tolerate people like Pauline Hanson and Alan Jones, and things they say because, hey it's a free country. But I get the impression that Canada embraces migrants more than Australia does. And then I realise what Alan Jones is really doing- stirring up hatred, causing crime and social unrest- I.e. being a fucking unethical public nuisance. And now I'm just mad because I'm overthinking political/historical/WAP stuff so much so that I can't sleep. Can't someone sack him already?!


Ugh. So grumpy.

Impulseeeeeee

It's three in the morning and I've just been youtubing/iTunes-ing Christmas songs for the past 2 hours. No one does it better than buble.

Seriously preparing for Christmas this year.
