This girl, she's got her own.

i saw pictures yesterday of a baby koala that got shot in the head, and had just lost its mother :( who in their right mind would shoot a koala? i mean, what kind of satisfaction can you get from harming these poor creatures?

i hate animal cruelty, yet i’ve never actually stood up and done something about it myself.. yes, i donate what i can to various charities and have signed up to be a political animal, but is that enough? i feel like there’s so much i can contribute, but at the same time, i feel so helpless when i think about the enormity of the situation..

xkaz asks: Sorry to spam your Tumblr but I felt rude if I didn't reply, lol. Good to hear you're recovering quickly :) Oh & I went to NY in July this year, and you're right about falling in love & not wanting to leave, every time I get reminded of it I feel "homesick" but it's not even "home" lol :P Lol I wish my digestive system couldn't handle junk food either, so that I could be healthier, but unfortunately I'm addicted :( Oh & thanks darl I hope I get it too hehe. Hope you're having a good weekend! xx

xkaz asks: Just incase you don't see my reply, thanks again for the good luck & for asking! Hope you're recovering okay from your wisdom teeth surgery, and (forgive me if I keep mentioning this) but I'm so excited for you (and jealous) that you get to go to New York soon!! Don't forget to try New York pizza with garlic powder, it's the besttt & I haven't been able to eat pizza in Australia anymore because of it haha xx

no worries! Yeah, the pain is slowly going away, and im starting to eat solids now, so yay! :) i’m so excited about New York, i’m scared i’m going to fall so madly in love with the city that i never want to leave! When was the last time you were there? MMM i said i’d try to stay away from their greasy fast food though, cos i don’t think my digestive system can handle it! :P but i’m definitely going to try the pizza, i’m sure it’ll be worth it! :)

p.s i hope you get the clerkship! :)

Yep, i got all four of my wisdom teeth surgically removed today. The wait was so painful, i couldn’t wait until it was all over. The worst part was lying on the operating table being poked and prodded in several timess since the anesthetist couldn’t get my vein.. He said i needed to ‘grow some veins’ hahaha.. I loved how upbeat the staff were, it really calmed me down.. I actually ate a decent sized solid meal for dinner tonight, which i was really proud of although it took me over an hour and a half to eat it!

On another less painful note, my LLF @neecoliesdailywhatevs has a plane ticket to NY!! It’s starting to feel more real now, although i don’t think the excitement is going to kick in until i actually get on the plane. The first thing we’re doing when i get there? EAT :) and then some late night shopping of course!

I’m hoping the dollar stays high.. A couple of cents don’t seem like much, but it makes such a difference! Shopping in the Philippines wasn’t too great the second time around when the dollar bought about 29 pesos, compared to the first time when it bought 40+.. crazy huh? So here’s to hoping the aussie dollar floats around parity until at least the beginning of next year :)

Talking to @neecoliesdailywhatevs last night about our New York city adventures is making it so hard for me to concentrate on anything else! I can’t wait to see everything in New York from the statue of liberty, to central park, and the little vintage boutiques! I’ve already decided that i’m only taking about 2kgs of luggage with me, so i have space for all the things i’m going to buy! oh the excitement! :)

Uni these past three years has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride. Now that it’s finally coming to an end, I’m already starting to miss it.. I look back and think about all the things I could’ve done. Could’ve, would’ve, should’ve right? Contrary to popular belief, uni isn’t about testing your ability to stay up all night and finish an assignment or cram for an exam. And like many others, I’m sure, I easily lose sight of the fact that uni’s actually supposed to be about learning, and not just about getting the marks to pass. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m gonna try to enjoy my last few weeks; late nights, hair pulling and all - cos once I’m done with it, i know I’ll be sitting at my desk at my 9-5 wishing I was back in that lecture room.
