The Life of a B Student

Do i have "Give me  B"  written on my forehead?
got my marks back from the last 4 assignments
lame.


Im tearing my eyebrows out at the moment trying to do this 3 person group presentation.
Its only a ten minute presentation about "The Princess Diaries" movie social myths contrasted to two other similar movies.
(+ essay but thats for later)


BUT


One of my group members has gone to Canada on exchange and the other...


Is proving to be a little painful to work with.


Ive broken it up into 4 main points for him and issued him two, I am explaining ideas over and over trying to get him to understand so that he has something decent to say, but he doesn't seem to get it and goes off topic. 
Excellent.


I wouldnt care as much if we were getting separate marks but, 
the reality is were getting the same mark as a group for this one.


Kill me now.

Its heating up

Summer is on its way!
Its so awesome when we hit daylight savings and all of a sudden we have an extra hour of light at night-time!
Its all happening
Yippeee

5 weeks till the end of my 2nd year! yippee only one to gooo!!!
thats of course unless i decide to do a post graduate in advertising
only time will tell.

At the moment im lacking uni motivation. Ive been practicing this "we dont worry" attitude with my uni friends which derived from the law of attraction, and everything is running smoothly. Though I feel like I need to be doing something all the time, but dont do much, and all my work seems to fall into place anyway.

Stoked.

So assignments at the moment are

Graphic Design Studies-
Group Lancome project, billboard + magazine spread design and flash banner design.
Interactive portfolio computer component

History n Culture in context-
Collaborated (The Princess Diaries) film essay and presentation on semiotics and myths

Photography-
Take photos for my "Imagination" themed photoshoot
Digital Darkroom assessment

T-shirt screen printing-
Havnt got the brief yet but excited

Shit load of work to do.

Im also having 2nd thoughts about being a vegetarian, seeing a nutritionist, and having to weigh my whole life has got me wondering how much variation im going to be allowed from now to april :s I LOVE chickpeas, beans n stuff, but theyre so high in carbohydrates, tofus average, i love eggwhites but i dno how long i can do eggwhite vege fritata for.
Its embarrassing because its only been what 2 weeks since i switched.
If i go back, it would only be to chicken..
I dno :s

Game Plan

Went to see Tarren yesterday to get a game plan for this body building business.

This is my diet plan, theres quite a few options.

Along with four brisk 45minute walks per week and weight training 4-5 times per week.
All the calories and shiznickle workout to be a 440g deficet per week which is pretty sweet.
Im 25% bodyfat  D: and the goal is to get to 15% by mid Jan and then 10% by competition time in April.
Works out to be a whopping total of 10kg (of fat) to lose!

Started today

Slow and steady wins the race :D

Foals :D

I CANT WAIT!

Summer is coommmmiiinnnnnggg :D

I want one of these Nike sportsbands to track my runs!

I superset those two untill ive done 3 sets of each

2. Seated shoulder press machine- I do 2 drop sets of these
60kg x 7reps , 50kg x 8reps , 40kg x 9reps , 30kg x 10reps

The 2nd set I try to go up one rep of each

If you have any feedback that would be cool

Atmospheric Beauty

I have so many new beautiful bands and songs up my sleeve at the moment and im itching to set them free on my blog.. but dont want to bombard my fabulous followers
I love atmospheric jams that almost take you somewhere else.
Music to chill to, walk in the rain to, lay in the sun to
I <3>
I also realised yesterday that i generally dont like female artists
(how sexist of me)
Now im trotting out to my station to have a jam with Broken Social Scene + my paintbrush n canvas :)

Obsessed with this album thankyou Kieran John

Some people dont like his vocals.
Some of those people also like Flo-Rider :s

Another Awesome Video

Probably best watched under some influence
Good song too, i like the end the best :)

Vego

Last night i had my first training conference and it was for Lifestream products which i knew only a little about.
Jason the guy speaking talked about longegivity in health and being fit till your 100.
I liked the sound of it and through a two hour presentation i learned quite a bit about not only Lifestream products, but the benefits of lowering the meat intake in your diet and paying more attention to your digestive wellbeing.

Me being me...has decided to become a vegetarian...
WHAT?!
Yeah.
Lachlan told me i was "a gullible sack" for reading into their products etc (because yeah i am open minded). But its not the products that made me want to, I had been thinking about it for ages and the only reason id eat meat is to get my source of good protein.

BUT
I found out that only 20-25% of the piece of lean meat is protein right...and then when you cook it the protein content halves.
You can get more protein out of a chlorophyll supplement..
So yeah. No meat.
DEFINITELY still other animal products though.

Speaking about transitions
I have more followers yay! (I <3 you all and I also <3 your opinions and versitility)
So I think its about time i stopped following myself to make up numbers LOL

500 Days of Shaye

I saw this movie for the first time the other day and man...
It was too close for comfort in some ways.
I watched and thought 'what a bitch Summer'...but then ive been in a similar situation as her and there are two sides to every story but man o man.
Quirky film-making also.
