I actually haven’t had any sleep and now I’m trying to organise Bartenders to meet the needs of Barcampers while I feel like I’m in a dream, there’s a visual/audio lag. It just doesn’t match. Omg, and Heino’s gone wandering. Errgh. Wonder what it’s going to feel like after lunch. I might just crash. Um, not only that, I had a huge spazz at Lud for not being able to figure out the timing even though, “TECHNICALLY”, it’s my job. WOOPS. However, didn’t want to piss off the organiser with making the first session too short. Shit. Shalaaa la laaa. Hopefully my Bartenders know enough to keep the Barcampers happy otherwise, another year of doing a shit job as head Bartender. What sucks is I’ve almost forgotten how to talk to people in a normal manner because I’ve had such little sleep. Right now my idea of helpful and friendly is just coming off crazy and condescending. I wonder if I’ve spelt that right… hummm… OH WELL
Interest in intensity

This last week has been possibly the busiest I’ve been ever, and I LOVE IT!
So after my giant spazz last week going to Wellington a day early I had an awesome time at conference. My lack of voice is testament to that! Meet and made heaps of new friends and got heaps of stuff done and planned. Good work people!
Came back and next day I’m off to Waihi for a couple of days with Becca, Tessa and Sian. Amazingly the sun was out and the beach was beautiful despite being the MIDDLE OF WINTER!
I just loaded heaps of the photos from this week to facebook, wahoo! Technically I should be at Broomball but I need a night off. Tomorrow is airport pickup, meeting, Matt’s farewell drinks.
it never fails to amaze me

It never fails to amaze me about how you can wake up expecting one thing to happen and spend the rest of your day doing something that you had never planned on.
It also never fails to amaze me at how retarded I am. I thought I had learnt from last time that I booked flights wrongly that I would be pedantic in checking when and where I would be going. Oh how wrong I was.
Sunday night I booked flights to Wellington for JulyCo which goes 2nd-6th of July, so naturally I book flights for 1st of July. Normal right? NO!
So this morning I get a text message from JetStar saying that I should arrive at the airport an hour early, I thought this was odd, seeing as I was meant to be leaving tomorrow, so I check my flight… WRONG NOVIA! WRONG, YOU STUPID SHIT! Instead of booking flights for the 1st of July, I booked them for the 30 of June… So. First. I freak out and start yelling, in the process waking Genie up. Ring my parents and try to exercise some sort of damage control. I ring JetStar and to ask if I can change my flights, you can, but not on the day of the flight. So. Parents are telling me I need to book another flight, Andrey is telling me just to fly down today and Genie is trying to calm me down by holding and patting the toy panda that she found in Docie’s room… and all I want to do is stab myself in the head for making another stupid mistake.
So I spent the morning packing my bags and trying in vain to tidy my room. LUCKILY! I have accommodation thanks to Liz who is letting me stay at hers tonight and tomorrow. I imagine a good night, getting tipsy, reminscing about Ukraine 
bonus.
I have learnt 1. Tidy room days before it needs to be tidy, 2. Freaking out doesn’t help anything, 3. ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE CHECK YOUR FLIGHTS!!!

I finally have my European100 and Chinese200 exams which I’ve been studying two weeks for. Where was I going with this? Nowhere probably because let’s face it, this blog is just full of my average-shitty life where I only occasionally write something of interest, something worth noting. This time probably won’t be one of those times because I don’t really have anything new to say.
I am so ecstatic that the All Whites did New Zealand proud and were big competition in their pool. Despite the fact that we didn’t get through to the next round the team are going to be welcomed back with open arms and there will be back-pats for weeks! I imagine that this has sparked a change within the New Zealand sporting scene and there will be a boost in the popularity of football as well as an increase in the pay for the professionals. Football has always been a popular sport among the masses of school kids on Saturday mornings but we have never been on the world stage with such skill.
I think the best part was the surprise that the All Whites gave us in those games, something almost no one saw coming. Surprises are the best.
Unfortunately I didn’t have a surprise with which to end this post, I hope you aren’t disappointed. I am.
SCARY EXAM STRESS DREAM

Omg I had a scary exam dream where I was doing my Euro100 exam and for some reason Bilsim was also doing her Accounting exam which was only worth 4% and I was trying to write an essay while everyone else was TALKING and my PHONE WAS IN MY POCKET when this French woman in a wetsuit comes to the front of the room and starts lecturing in French about the terrarium of slimy animals. I didn’t finish and forgot to do a question…
I think exams are stressing me out…
A Saturday Off
June 12, 2010 – 9:38 am
It’s study break and everyone is studying their brains out and today I. Did. Nothing. Take that life.
It’s four in the morning girl, and I have to go…
June 4, 2010 – 3:58 pm
It’s not quite four in the morning, but that doesn’t stop the fact that I’m actually at Uni (at the AIESEC office, surprise, surprise).
Today was the last day of semester one 2010 and it has actually been epic.
One: It was the last day of semester.
Two: I did an oral test that I didn’t completely screw up.
Three: I went with Firdos to BDSC to ask Mr Leach about interns presentation who was very willing to help out.
Four: We went back to Uni and had ICX meeting.
Five: Had a 2015 meeting for AIESEC.
Six: Had an LC Bonding event which involved 3 hours of lasertag from 10pm-1.00am.
Seven: Went with half EB/EBe to the airport to pick up the Polish girl who is working on MC at 1.30am.
Eight: Went to Auckland Domain with packets of NZ food and had a weet-bix eating competition on the steps of Auckland Mueseum.
Nine: Came back to the office where I am sitting right now.
OMG. Today has been so interesting and quite epic. I love how spontaneous life can be. I didn’t really imagine that I would’ve done so much today. Possibly one of the most interesting and full on days ever. 3.58am. All I want is shower and bed. Hoorah.
There are just some days
May 24, 2010 – 8:29 pm
There are just some days that I want to so badly to arrive that I can’t stop thinking about them. This day right now is the 28th of May when my freaking essay will be finished and I would have done the test for Torts Law.
Of course it’s my own fault for not having finished the essay earlier and I’d rather be busy than bored and I’d rather be dead than bored but I’m starting to freak out because I have no idea how I’m going to fit everything in today… or the rest of the week… I keep thinking to myself that I need to relax and not stress about this essay so much but this is hard when all of a sudden there’s no time left and all I want to do is write blog posts about how freakin worried I am. To be honest this has been completely brought upon myself, the stress right this second can be attributed to the caffeine I had. I think I’m going to avoid coffees, even though they are like magic in liquid form.
4 days to go!!!
ergh…!
May 23, 2010 – 7:41 pm
I kind of love, kind of hate the fact that I’m really busy. I kind of wish I had stayed in bed this morning though. I also kind of wish that I had started my European Studies essay earlier or that I had a topic which I didn’t find so semi-good/semi-bad. Hm. Methinks that I’m going to have to finish half of it today… yes. Good job, Novia. Arrrrrrgh. Soooo tired and filled with soup and coffee. I really wish I were in bed. Oh man. That would be amazing. Asleep. Why did I wake up this morning?
