Ahhhhhhh!!!
Simon posted before I could! Yep, I quit my job! I'll go into more detail later... It wasn't fun! I felt guilty!! xx Jess
Hello peoples,
Here I am wasting time again. Its 7.20am in the morning, but I woke up at 6.24am, quite an improvement from the previous day where I woke up at 6.02am. I think waking up at 6am to go to uni has fucked up my body clock, I'm one of those people who never sleep in, unless I've consumed vast amounts of alcohol. One reason I'm NOT looking forward to holidays, is that I'll still wake up at 6 each morning. Ahhh good old insomnia, I remember in high school when I could sleep for only six hours at the most. Its truly like the Edward Norton/Brad Pitt movie Fight Club; its a different world. Sometimes I'd go to bed at 10.30 and wake up at 2. Like, what the fuck are you supposed to do for 6 hours??? I can tell you there's some crazy shit on the TV after 2, and with no sound (cos I couldn't wake the oldies) its even more crazier!!!! Anyhoo, I'm rambling so I should go study for Chinese BIG EXAM TOMORROW!!! xx Jess. My parents are going at 9 tomorrow night and coming back 8pm Wednesday - Yipee!!!

G'day, Ni hao, Bonjour, Ciao
Wow, I'm so bored. The matrix is fiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllyyyyy done. I think its really crap, but I don't really care that much because its done! Today I worked from 9 - 2.45pm without a break. How fun. Today was the day I was going to quit my job - you know give two weeks notice or whatever. But my boss ran off to do some errands so I couldn't quit, since I want to do it in person. Plus also need a reference, so I'll have to be extra nice. At them moment, I'm still most likely to be living with the gorgeous JoJo, but my cat Maia is homeless until i can find somewhere for her to stay for next year. Poor little dear. Yesterday night, went out to dinner with my parents to some new Indian restaurant in Sunbury, and we were talking about what to do with Maia. And I said to Maree, my stepmum, "I just have these visions of her being all alone at the Cat Protection Society (where I picked her up from), waiting for someone to pick her up". Then Maree said "Oh she's a lovely cat, someone will pick her up." And I started bawling in the middle of this busy Indian restaurant. "But she's my cat! I don't wanna give her away, sob sob". I think back now and it was pretty funny, but my parents were mighty embarassed and made a hasty exit soon after that little episode.
They're going to Adelaide this weekend so I've got the house to myself. Thank god. I really can't wait to finish exams and get really, really pissed. xx Jess.

Hi everyone,
Well here I am on the computer AGAIN. Not doing my Risk Matrix AGAIN. I was going to go into the city today to finish it but my boss begged me to work today since I need the money I thought fuck it I'll just have to hand in the Matrix on Tuesday (tomorrow). This daylight savings thing is driving me nuts, last night I went to bed at 8.30 and today I woke up at 6.30am. But I think its just because I can't sleep properly lately cos of uni stuff. Everytime when I'm trying to go to sleep my mind is screaming RISK MATRIX, TEACHING ENGLISH ESSAY, CHINESE EXAM and such. Plus this moving thing is definitely stressing me out.
On a brighter note, :) yesterday I walked to work in a pissed off mood because I'd forgotten my cigarette lighter so was to go without a cigarette for the whole day (since I'm not allowed to smoke at home). Arrived at 10am and worked until 1.30 where I had an interrupted lunch break. This women and her husband came in and were like "Oh did we interrupt your break" in a really sarcastic way, and I said "No that's okay, no problems!" in a very sarcastic way with a sweet smile on my face. Bitch.
Anyway, had a run in with the girlfriend of apprentice chef, Jason, who works there. She came in and was like, "Where's Jason? I'm picking him up to take him to cricket." I was thinking, Yeah Hi, Howya doing? Nah I'm fine, so I said "I dunna know" but I knew where he was. So when he came out from the back she walked off in a huff. What a bitch. Man, she's such a stegosaurus.
And lastly, have another new person at work, who I think is secretly being trained to take over my job because they're itching to fire me yet, they have no idea I will so quit. This new person, Aaron, is actually quite nice (unlike some of the other guys - I work mostly with guys and one other girl) AND looks very similar to David Beckham! It must be Murphy's Law or something - cute guy must start working when Jess is about to quit, *sigh*. That's all for now, xx Jess. P.S. Stegosaurus (if that's how you spell it) is Nat's code word for a tall, MEGA-bitchy, ugly girl who wears clothes that are far too tight and thinks she's too good.

Hi again,
Well I'm doing this post at 7am in the morning, at least it was supposed to be 7 am, until I realised its fucking DAYLIGHT SAVINGS! So its actually 8am, crap. I meant to get up early to practice for my chinese exam but now its looks like I'll just be procrastinating on the internet...yet again! I had my other Oral Chinese exam on Friday, what a day. First I decided to drive into the city, so I'd have extra time to practice in the peace and quiet of Gisboring, instead of catching the train in with Dad and attempting to study in the Library. Normally I park at Dad's work (the World Trade Centre) but there were no car parks, so I tried the Exhibition Centre car park (Jeff's Shed) but there was some fucking ...exhibition...on so I had to park at mega-expensive car park in LaTrobe Street. After several near accidents (I'm a very bad driver), I was a bit shaky, so decided to have McDonalds cos I'd forgotten to have lunch.
Omigod, what a mistake. All I have was a little Cheeseburger and Caramel Sundae, but I think that burger had been sitting there since time began. I went to class ready to throw up, as I was already nervous about the exam. Somehow managed to get through it, my teacher thinks I'm one of the "best students in the class" but I think that's only because I turn up for every class, unlike the other slackers. After she said that, I was like "Yeah but I went really bad on the mid-semester exam. I really don't want to fail Chinese" So she was like, "Oh who are you again? What's your name?" I told her then she scanned down her list, found my name next to my mark for the exam - 32 (A spectacular fail!). "Well, if you can go a lot better on the next exam I won't fail you. You know, because you turn up for every class, and your pronounciation is very good. I know you just don't like the characters. Yeah, I don't think you will fail. Just study hard." So YIPEE! looks like I'm not going to fail Chinese after all, *phew*!
Has anyone noticed how boring our lives become when we revolve them around uni and uni only??? Usually, I would have lots of funny stories to tell about going out clubbing with my friend Natalie, and her friends, Tess, OJ, Ari and Teresa, and going out with the gorgeous JoJo but nup, nothing! Just wait a two more weeks, I promise they're will something more exciting or interesting to post. xx Jess.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to write and say good luck to all the guys (and Lucie!) heading off to (or are in) Malaysia. I'm sure you're going to have a fantastic time, and I'm rrrreeeeaaalllly jealous but looking forward to hearing all your stories! Hmmm, nothing much is happening at the moment. Classes are finished (except one more Chinese class today) and exams are scheduled. Plus I'm moving into the city soon, and will find a full-time job to keep me occupied over summer - can't wait!!! Nothing else is happening though. No holidays planned ... except my Mum, Stepdad, Brother and Sister are going to Canberra for the holidays, don't know if I'll go with them because I'll have to see if I'm working or not. Sorry this is such a BORING post! xx Jess. P.S. The animal I'm really afraid of is actually a snail. They're fucking disgusting and I can't stand being in the vicinity of one! They're so slimy and gross.

Jess that was a very good site... at least u ve figured out how to put links, something that i still have work on..lol... on that note, i should go back to my assignment , that might take me all night.... c ya; take care ...johanna:)
Sorry guys, just one more thing. I couldn't resist putting this link up for all your pleasure. As someone who has worked in the restaurant business, I think this is sweet revenge!

The Stained Apron
Alright! That's so ultracool! I'll have to show Johanna ASAP!! Well lets see what's been happening... I am currently searching for ideas, as to the best way to quit my job! If you don't know already I fucking hate it. Its at this crappy cafe in Gisboring. My boss never pays me on time, never pays me the right amount. I don't get a lunch break, get yelled at all the time by both my boss and the customers and am sick of being a waitress! I think on the last day I will be the biggest bitch to customers. I'm dying to use the line Tony told us. If a customer has been being a real prick and snapping or clicking his fingers at you constantly (to make you come over and take his order), walk over to him and say, "Look buddy. It takes more than two fingers to make me come"! I love it! Can't wait to move into the City! xx Jess. By the way my daggy nickname is "Sessa-Maria", my mum even made up a song and little dance to my nickname. Having Jessica as your name is not quite its cracked up to be! I get Jess the Mess, Messy-Jessy, Jess-psych-a(by my baby brother, when I have PMT) and a series of other ones that are not appropriate for this blog! P.P.S Guess which animal makes me freak out, cos I'm so fucking scared of them??? Hint: its not a snake, spider or man-eating tiger.
Okay, lets see if I can do the link thingy!

Lonely Planet

well i thik i d better give up the links.... well i am French , what did u expect? LOL :)
well , here i am again; trying to work out those links. By the way thanks Simon , but even ur simple explanation was too technical for me... so let s see here is an interresting website about sudan... i hope it worked this time.. better go back to my assignment... C ya ;)
Well that didn t quite work, i think we ll have to call Simon so he can explain us how to put those stupid links.... Till next time, take care ( well that sounded a bit jerry Springer!!!) Johanna;)

Ok, since the last two posts were done by Jo, I'll do my posts in Italics! How exciting! This is Jess by the way. Hmmm, lets see what has been happening... Yes Mi Casa was EXCELLENT! Had way too many drinks, like usual and will make a mental note NOT to consume that much again.
My dad and stepmum are moving to Adelaide - how bizarre (is that how you spell it???) Which means I will most like be moving in with Jo which will be ultra-cool. I also might be doing an internship in China which is exciting but we'll have to see. That's all for now, boys and girls... Enjoy! xx Jess. P.S. Do you wanna know my very embarrassing nick-name that my family calls me? You'll have to wait for the next entry!!!
