Oh – so a Curriculum Vitae is a resume – gotchya.

What a trip the last couple days have been.  I’ve been struggling to get my application approved with the University of Sydney, trying to pack to go back, trying to have a “relationship” even though I leave TOMORROW!  Can you believe it?  I go back to Sydney TOMORROW!!!  Insane.

What am I doing having a crush right now?  And why have I written off other boys for this one?   This isn’t like me and it makes me nervous.  What am I doing?  I’M MOVING ACROSS THE WORLD TOMORROW – THERE IS NO ROOM FOR BOYS IN MY LIFE!  I don’t want to get my heart roped up in anything.  And not that I think my heart WILL necessarily get roped up in anything … but … well … I need to stop using “…” right about …. NOW.

It doesn’t matter though right?  I leave tomorrow.  I’m going back to the land of Oz where people talk funny and their tuna tastes better.  Oh and they have gelato – which is like my fave.   So, it doesn’t matter right?  Boys – dating – relationships – none of it matters.  And the little tug I feel pulling at my heart – that’s probably nothing right?  Right.

And by the way – a Curriculum Vitae is the same thing as a CV which is the same thing as a resume.  Just in case you were planning on applying for a job in Australia – it’d be a good thing to know.  )

AND – sorry about my slacking off on posting about the cruise and my Australian Story – I was with CC+4 last night and didn’t have time to post.  Soon.  I can’t wait to tell the story about how Adorable boy played the boy scout card and kissed me at the Whale Tail.  lol.

I’m back!!!

I’m back!!! I had a TON of fun this past week!!! But wow – it feels good to be back at a computer!!! The last time I wrote, I was on the cruise ship reeling from the notification that my application for the Uni of Syd is STILL having issues and from some dude’s ego-wounding blow-off. [which btw – he attempted to smooth things over but it was too late. Someone had already taken his spot as my Numero Uno Cruise Crush. WHAT? Shocking!!! And don’t act like you’re surprised please. ))

Here are some things that have crossed my mind over the last little bit – as well as some pics from the first couple days of the trip.

1.I have the coolest dogs EVER and I wouldn’t trade being a doggy mommy for anything in the world.

2.I was asked out on a date by 3 different boys for tomorrow – with 100% surety that boy 4 will also ask.  Yikes!!!  4 date options for ONE DAY – crrrrrazy!  Boy 3 (aka Numero Uno Cruise Crush) will be my pick.  I’m excited to see him tomorrow.  My Cruise Crush was supposed to end at 9:00 am this morning when the cruise was over – but he asked for a 4 day extension.  lol.  As it stands now he has until I go  back to Sydney… but I don’t think it will be quite so easy for me to turn it on and off according to preset time lines.

3.Kindred spirits are the BEST!!! Royann and Tracy (center) are my two new friends. They tell people I am their long lost sister. I LOVE it!!!

4. It’s amazing how one week can change things.

5.  I’m not used to being on land yet and I keep feeling like the ground is moving.

j

6.The University of Sydney blows chunks. And that is so gross – yay! No but for real – who in the world says things like that? Me. Because it does. And I hate the University of Sydney.

7. Video memories are freaking cool and I need to remember to take more videos!

8.  Someone sent me a text from a 702 area code asking me about the cruise – which means they are a friend – but I have NO IDEA who it is!!!  Ooops!!

q

9. Remember that time I told myself I would never ever talk about my blog in public again? No? Apparently I didn’t either. Darn it! And now CC+4 may read my blog – ooh – I’m so lucky – in the oh so sucky way.

10. I’m glad I don’t have any little sisters.

l

11. I’m 1 lb away from what I thought my ideal weight was – but now that I’m there I want to lose another 10. Yikes!

12. I love getting my teeth bleached (it’s a sickness.)  ;)

k

13. Raspberry sorbet is delicious.

c

14. I think I ate my weight in chocolate chips today.

15. After a week of only 4-5 hours of sleep every night I’m EXHAUSTED!!! This will be all for tonight – I’ll write more tomorrow! I hope you all had great weeks!!!

It was a crazy week

Last week was a craaazzzyyy week.  I met a lot of new people, went on more dates than there were days in the week (yikes!) hit the 13 lb weight loss mark – am soooo happy about that!  And then booked myself on a last minute Mexican Riviera Cruise.  YAY!!!

I don’t have time to write more of my Australian Story before I leave (sorry!) but I thought I’d do a quick future post so you all have something to read in case I can’t find an internet connection.  ) )

Right now I’m somewhere on the pacific ocean wearing a lot of sunblock and trying to attend as many cruise activites as I can.  My friends are all planning to spend all day, every day, at the pool or on the beach.  That’s fun for sure!  But I live 60 seconds walking distance from one of the best beaches in EVER so I’m going to take this opportunity for some fun diverse experience.  What?  There’s an ice sculpture show?  Sign me up!  And a flower demonstration?  Oh my gosh!  I’ll be there!  Hee hee.  This is going to be a riot.

I’m completely serious about trying to squeeze in as many cruise activities as possible.  It’s going to ROCK!  Most of it will be … umm … interesting?? well at least entertaining!!! (because I’ll be making fun of it in my head – wait – I mean I’ll be enjoying it.  ;))

I’m going to attempt to take as many pics as possible and do a bit of video so you can all enjoy the craziness right along with me.  ) I’m afraid I will be going to most of these activities alone (my Utah friends could NEVER resist some time in the sun) but that is actually exciting too!  I can’t wait!!

So … Happy week!!!  And when I hit an internet cafe in Cabo I’ll give you a live update.  ) YAY!!!
