I bought my first piece of furniture in Australia!! Yup, that is my motivation, I bought a dresser and built it all by myself, it is quite a beauty. I know my mom is reading this right now, being like why did she buy a dresser, she has to many clothes, and yup I do have to many clothes, it really is a problem, I have a major shopping addiction but hey a new dresser will solve all my closet issues at the moment! To me this is a big issue, I am very proud of myself, cause when I bought my house back in 2011 and moved in, I needed some serious help from my parents and brothers to put stuff together, but not today, today I didn't have to go to dad's garage and figure out which screwdriver to get because I own screwdrivers, today I didn't have to call mom being like why won't the two pieces fit together, because I shimmied it myself, today I didn't have to call my brother to come lift it up for me, because I am now a big girl and can do it all by myself. You guys are probable all laughing at me right now, which is totally understandable, but I did it so yay! Secondly I'm very proud of my dresser because it is a piece of furniture, and you know what owning furniture means, settling down and finding a home. Now I'm not saying this tiny little apartment with Meena is a home, but it makes me happy to own something of sustenance in Australia, makes me feel oddly at peace.
So since my building of the dresser got me motivated, I guess I will continue to tell you about my life. June was boring, not much happened, I studied for finals, wrote my finals, then flew home to enjoy the sunshine and leave the Australian cold behind! I was a bridesmaid in two wedding this July. the first one was one of my best friends Michelle, it was absolutely lovely, and we had so much fun.
Isn't she a beautiful bride? I thought she was and so did her husband!! We had fun chatting, celebrating, and dancing, oh and I caught the bouquet! Yay go me! If tradition stands to be true my knight in shining armour should be pulling up in his Mercedes any minute now...haha I know right if only dreams were realities! When I caught the bouquet, the girls were laughing at me and said I dived for it, I was like no I may have stepped to the side to catch it but I definitely didn't dive for it, little did I know there was photographic evidence....
Every time I look at this picture I laugh may face off, it is so funny. So much for being graceful like a lady, clearly those skills went out the window when I decided to become a football player to catch the bouquet.
The next wedding I was in was my baby brothers, the professional pictures from that wedding aren't back yet so fortunately you don't get to see any more candid shots of me diving for bouquets, even though I missed that one! I just have the few I took on my phone throughout the day, they are quite candid though :)
Me being vain and taking a selfie because I think I look amazing!!!
Me and the bride waiting to be picked up!!
Almost time, its time to get nervous!!!
My baby brother, the handsome groom, he is so grown up.
The super sexy bridal party! We had some good times in that limo.
Me and my date, we were inseparable....
Me and my big little brother, damn we have good genes in our family.
I'd say I'd post the professional pictures one I get them, but since I've been so slack in writing my blog i'm not going to make any promises!!
While I was at home for the month of July not celebrating bridal showers, bachelorette parties, or attending weddings I managed to get my foot in the door and work at Pro Bono Law Saskatchewan, helping them catch up on a bunch of their data entry, I also got to go to court, and attend some client advice clinics. It was quite the experience, and opened my eyes to a side of law that I never gave any thought to before.
A few days before I was due to fly back to Australia I finally got out to the lake for some relaxing time, I got to go on the quad, I read a book in the sun, I burnt my face, went fishing, and relaxed by the campfire. It was a perfect day.
Now I'm currently in semester 2, about to start week 4 of 13. This semester I am taking evidence (not nearly as interesting as CSI), equity and trusts (so far I've learnt that it's flexible....), Company Law (quite interesting but also quite mind boggling), Social Justice/Public Interest Clinic (very excited about this course, I get to help boat people try and get TPV's!!!!), and the my diploma course which includes civil litigation and trust accounting.
So I think you're all caught up on my life for now, and I've lost motivation, and I'm hungry, so time to go pour myself a glass of rouge vino and make myself some chicken!
Ciao!
