What's the nicest thing you've ever done for a stranger? What's the nicest thing a stranger has done for you ( Read more... )

I forget if I've ever mentioned that I've been betraying LJ for about a year and a half now with my Australia blog. Poor dead livejournal. My Aussie blog is just as dead (not in entries, but no one comments on the damn thing). Anyway, if you're ever bored and feel like reading random thoughts, the address is leanersinaustralia.blogspot.com

So Saturday night was an event called the May Ball. May Ball is another chance for med students to get ridiculously drunk (open bar), dress up, act ridiculous and then take someone home. I didn't attend this event as it was $125 but I did go to the after party, which was free ( Read more... )

I'm going to MELBOURNE! Yep, in about a week and a half I'll be hopping on a plane and spending some time in Australia's arts & music capital. I'm really looking forward to it. I had to use my stupid Virgin blue credit (awful airline, ugggggh, but anyway, long story short I have a $480 credit with them). My lovely friend Amelia is going as well ( Read more... )

I got into grad school. Master's in Speech Pathology. Yay!

Can someone just give me $63 000 now please? Thanks. That'd be good. Or even $9000 would be tremendously helpful. I just want to fix people who have strokes, dammit!

Does anyone know where I can get an inexensive lawn mower? I would love one of those good for the environment ones (the use man/womanpower only - no gas), but have no idea where to get it!

Just thinking about the fact that in 6 weeks, the person I live with will be cutting people open. Wow.
