After a long, stressful day, I am treating myself to an evening of Pride & Prejudice. It is unfortunate, however, that I'll also be doing Haddon's matrices and revising clinical skills whilst watching.
I don't think I've ever studied as hard or fast as I am now (har har, sexual...). And not because I'm aiming for that HD but because I don't think I've ever left anything as last minute as I have now. The study is crazy. And yes, it's a lot of content to cover but in general I also pride myself on studying early and being able to relax the last few days before an exam.
I got up at 6.45am this morning (early for me during study break) to start studying by 7am. I NEVER GET UP BEFORE 7.30am DURING STUDY BREAK. STUDY BREAK IS ALSO KNOWN AS SLEEP-IN BREAK FOR ME.
I also got a group interview for Officeworks and the good folk at Madzoon sent me (and Little Mishelle!) emails regarding our applications there. I think I'm going to go with Officeworks though... It's a bigger company, the pay will probably be better, it's more "stable" and I guess the hours will be more regular. I feel as though Madzoon might toss me around a bit given they're new.
Who knows.

What My Study Looks Like
I keep going back and forth between complete panic and ice-ice-baby disengagement.

The Last 24 Hours
- Did NOT exercise.
- Ate a cashew that tasted like pizza.
- Worked from 5pm - 10pm, basically a feat for me...
- Ate delicious sweet and sour prawns and praised the Lord for delivering me Mi Madre.
- Followed a bunch of shit dicks on Instagram. My whole "following" list is an embarrassment; just a bunch of celebs, predominantly Disney tweens.
- Listened to a bunch of Ricky/Steve/Karl podcasts. They make me so effing happy.
- Read the Travel section of last weekend's paper. It's making me all jumpy inside.
- Talked with Little Mishelle. I don't know why but I always send her a crapload of messages and texts during exams, mostly because I'm procrastinating. Also, I have this insatiable desire to find out what she's doing every single second of the day so I can live vicariously through her (as she is already on holidays).
- Cut off a bunch of split ends.
- Read a crap tonne of blogs. My favourite continues to be http://carrotsncake.com
- Checked my emails sporadically and then every 10 minutes whilst waiting for replies to the multiple resumes I handed out.
- Ate a banana. Mmm, phallic.
- Wondered why we even have leg hair?!
- Studied.
- Pondered my existence.
- Watched 20 minutes of Easy A.
- Slept.

Summer Daze
It's just past 6pm. My study window is open and there's a light, cool breeze coming in. I'm playing some sultry The Rubens song (thanks, Little Mishelle) and it's starting to feel a lot like summer. I walked home from the bus stop in the sun today and felt it burning my back. I remembered why I want to move to the UK and then realized that I'm not sure if I can ever leave Perth...
I had my first exam today. My next is on Monday. I definitively have to cram for it. I think this is the first time I've ever felt this way. I remember a few weeks before my end of year 11 exams, I was sitting on the hill at recess with Big Michelle and Little Mishelle and looking through my diary. I realized we only had something like 2.5 weeks until exams and I freaked the flip out. I always tend to do that.
The job hunt continues and I'm waiting for replies from a few places.
I can't wait for holidays.

The Perfect Man
Revelling in the perfection that is Lloyd Dobler has got me thinking about a lot of things. Mostly about how sweet he is, how honest and loving. There are a lot of things about Lloyd Dobler that makes him a great guy and a great character:
For one thing, it got me thinking about the perfect man or the characteristics I want in a guy (or, as I should say, a man because, "There are too many guys in the world. Be a man."). Here I have compiled a short list and in no particular order:

- Honest.
- Protective/makes me feel safe (particularly relevant to my internal psyche).
- Funny/sassy.
- Loving.
- Real.
- Candid.
- Non-mopey.
- Smart.
- Forearms.
- Friend.

Tonight's Entertainment (Say Anything)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098258/
Wow, this movie is basically perfect.
As in, it has no flaws. As in, since the first scene, everything has been interesting and intriguing and different and funny and sweet. It's funny in this weird, offbeat, stupid, Catcher in the Rye, Ferris Bueller's Day Off way. It's romantic in this very typical and faultless teenage love way. And it's strangely sexy.
The first scene (party scene) had me laughing already. I rarely laugh at movies even if I find them funny. I only laugh at Ellen videos with Writer Amy and Haunted House. But the party scene had me laughing. My favourite line was, "YOU MUST CHILL," and for sure, you can count on me saying this line a lot from now on.
I give it 5 stars. Guys, that is my highest rating so far. This is a really good movie.
It's also funny and sweet in a way that I didn't expect from the 1980s. I remember watching Dr. Strangelove last year for the first time and thinking, "Shit, this is amazing." It wasn't my favourite movie by a long shot but the humour was so freaking modern and snarky and impeccable. I was impressed. This movie kind of reminds me of that.
This movie is easy watching in a way that you can sit back knowing everything will work out in the end. It's also the kind of movie that, when you finish watching it, you have something to think about.
The characters and relationships are sweet in this attainable way. It kind of reminds me of Win a Date with Tad Hamilton in that sense. That comparison perhaps doesn't really make sense but I really love that movie. Mostly because I rooted for Topher Grace's character throughout the whole thing because I love a good nerdy underdog. The relationship between Topher and Rosie was achey and breaky and hearty. And teenagery and sweety and bittersweety like a square of 70% cocoa dark chocolate.
This movie has also really made me want to get a boyfriend. I keep feeling this heart-lurchy thing whenever I see Lloyd and Dianne together.
The only thing I don't like? The conversation Dianne has with her dad re: you know what. But what I really liked? HOT CAR SEX SCENE. Was NOT expecting it. I was like, "OH GURL!" when it popped up on screen. Then I shook my head a bit because naturally, I was all, "Oh gorl, don't get pregnant." Then I was like, "Get it, girl." Because you only live once. And yes, I just spelt the word "girl" three ways just then.
The end. Watch this movie (space).

Smoothies is Cooking
I am genuinely upset to find out Liz Huett is no longer going to be singing back-up for Taylor. I'm happy she's pursuing a solo career because I thinks she's just ab-fab but I also feel like the dream team is breaking up.
They were impeccable together.

Tonight's Entertainment (Notting Hill)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125439/
I've started becoming desperate for romcoms to watch. It feels like I've gone through all the good ones. I keep using the IMDb suggestion things for movies I've liked and watched so far. And I keep getting the same movies suggested over and over again. It's like an incestuous little circle.
I've put Say Anything and some of the older romcoms on the runner-up list. I'm not sure I want to delve into that territory yet. Instead, I'm turning to some of the "older" romcoms (that is, movies involving older actors/actresses). For example, at present I'm watching The Rebound. I don't know if it really counts because one of the leads is a youngish hot guy. And I love CZJ.
Anyway, it took me a while to watch Notting Hill. Even though it's a classic, I was scared to watch it because I feared the boredom.
I can see why this movie is a classic though. It's really good. The two main characters are pretty typical but the supporting characters are more interesting. The movie played on the quirkiness of the characters but kept it a notch below hipster which I fully appreciate.
The feel of the movie is reminiscent of About a Boy, Bridget Jones' Diary and Love, Actually. Maybe it's because of all the Hugh Grant, but it just feels clean and crisp and touching in the same way. It has that British charm, wit and offhandedness but keeps it real.
I don't really have much to say. It's a classic romcom and good in terms of characters, physical setting, storyline, premise. I enjoyed it. I probably wouldn't watch it again but I enjoyed it.
