Happy Halloween everyone~

It's not that huge a deal down here in australia, but we were given the option of wearing costume to work or our uniforms this week.

So, rather than suffer the horrible icky ichyness of my work shirt, i improvised xD

$5 black shirt, 70 cents worth of felt and some fabric glue later and I was set. Yay me!
Everyone else at work came dressed as witches...

Plus, this shirt is damn comfortable, I didn't even have work today and I'm bumming around the house in it.
It held up pretty well in the washing machine.




OH! I also might have a transfer to the service station across the street soon. Same company but it's petrol instead of groceries PLUS i get longer hours and a nicer manager (yey)


That's enough Laura-boring-stuff for now. *waves*

Well, yesterday was ick. My manager managed to break her record and got two girls to cry at once. Needless to say, we anonymously reported her for bullying.

It's been going on for way too long, and honestly, if you can't do a job like that without constantly insulting your staff to the point they break down in tears you shouldn't have a position of power.

Enough of that, time for artz
( cut to save the f-list. Ponies and transformers and centaurs this time )

I.... i entered a competition recently to win a flight to Japan. I very nearly forgot about it to be honest, but this morning when i opened my email.... I won....

I won a ticket for myself and my mum to fly to Japan......

I went to the Brisbane botanical gardens today for the Japanese festival with a good friend of mine x3
Festival was baaad (barely anything going on) but we took a picnic and ended up wandering around a bit. We even went to the orchid show and bought my dad a pretty flower for his birthday.

My friend and I were the youngest people AT the orchid show xD
I'm sad to say, the gardens are still a little ruined after the floods. Broken limbs in the gardens and dead plants around everywhere.
No matter, the cactus garden and Japanese area's were still quite pretty.

Have some pictures. :3

Well, that was thoroughly unhelpful. I missed passing a course by 2%, was told i could apply for a supplementary exam then was denied within minutes via e-mail.

Apparently, previously applying for a supplementary exam for ANY reason (see the one i had to sit because i had gastro for the main exam) means they can deny your application immediately. Thing is, they say i can apply for a senate appeal as long as it sticks to the rules. I go check, lo and behold they're EXACTLY the same rules as the first time around. So guess what, i failed EVERYTHING this semester.

*goes to cry in a corner*

Crap, CRAP crapcrapcrapcrap.

You know that dream? The one where you turn up to an exam and have no idea what's going on, as in it looks like a completely wrong subject?

Well, that happened to me today.... i turned up to the wrong physics class exam.... the exam i was supposed to take was on tuesday afternoon.

Excuse me while i sit in a corner and feel like a moron. More so because you had to pass this exam to pass the subject, even if you had enough marks overall without it to pass.
