The recipe I had was in fahrenheit temp rather than celsius and I kinda guessed the conversion. I put it at 200, but it was only supposed to be for either 160 or 180.

I get Friday off, and the following week Monday and Tuesday.

Today there was a careers fair for Accounting & Finance, and it was incredibly packed! But each company had their own weird "goodie bag" except it wasn't really.

But at the end of the day I scored tons of different bags, pens, lollies, and booklets.

Aw, I hate Daylight Savings. It would be much easier if it didn't exist.

**Periwinkles** · 03-12-2008, 02:22 PM

Guessing is never good. I already hate it when I have to approximate when I'm measuring something in the measuring cup.

I was so tired today. I seriously thought I was going to fall asleep in the middle of class.

NZOCFan · 03-13-2008, 03:19 AM

It must be contagious! I nearly fell asleep during my 8am class.

It is the worst thing to go to the gym and afterwards eat a slice of chocolate cake.

I was soo hungry and craving sweets.

I'm feeling tired now, but for a different reason. Went to another accounting company seminar and they had some booze available afterwards.

I had like five centimetres and was buggered from it.

**Periwinkles** · 03-13-2008, 08:07 PM

It was not a good at all. I have a lot of blank pages without any notes, or random notes scribbled here and there.

I guess I'll have to try to catch up over the weekend.

It souds a little bit counter-productive. I had bacon and cheese pizza today. With fries.

I had one of those career things today also, and they also had free alcohol. It was really crowded and warm, so I didn't really stay. I just grabbed random pieces of paper and I went and had pizza instead.

Hi, Cayce! I like your icon.

I'm not from Aussie...I'm a bit further down in NZ.

Ohmygoodness. That sounds really good.

Next time I go to the gym, if I get hungry afterwards, I'll eat like a banana or something.

All this talk of food is making me hungry.

It was so disappointing after the presentation. The one two weeks ago had lots and lots of pizza, and this one had two plates of mini mince savories and mini samosas and weird fried dim sim. And there was nothing left after five minutes. And we were hungry.

We were drinking without any food in our stomachs, so we reluctantly went out to a pub for food.

I just loove when lecturers go on tangents in classes. One of my lecturers (with a thick South African accident) was talking about how he is a "honey" to his wife and tells her that he loves her 44 times a day.

**Periwinkles** · 03-14-2008, 05:43 PM

Welcome Caycee!

What are savories? I know what you mean..we were like we should wait for a bit for free! pizza, but after 5 minutes, we couldn't take it anymore so we went out to real pizza place.

The lecturer sounds a little bit creepy.

NZOCFan · 03-15-2008, 05:19 AM

Savories are like realy tiny mince pies (not the fruit ones). I haven't eaten a pie (with the exception of apple pies

) in a year, I think. Taking off the pastry on the top and looking at what is in the pie freaked me out.

He was trying to use an analogy for cost-allocation. It was weird.

We just had people over for dinner, and for about five minutes there was a discussion on peoples' feet and then people started to show their feet. I was like, wtf, the whole time and chose not to involve myself in that discussion.

**Periwinkles** · 03-16-2008, 12:02 PM

Hm, I haven't eaten meat pie in a while either. The only ones I eat though are from the freezer.

Feet? Wise choice not to get involved. That is so random.

The space bar on my keyboard has stopped working since yesterday and it's driving me just crazy. I have to paste my spaces between my words. I hope I can fix it soon.

NZOCFan · 03-17-2008, 03:58 AM

The strangest thing about the feet conversation was that everyone was older than me, and they're all showing each other their feet.

My feet have weird tan lines from my flip flops. My tan lines from Melbourne still won't go away.

Aw that sucks. We had a similar problem except it was with the key "U" and we just removed the key and then placed it back in again. Good as gold!

However, I had to buy a new mouse today, since the other one kept reeking havok on my computer. Just kept highlighting everything and click buttons I didn't want to click!

Ahh shoot. The lazy period is over and now I have to study properly.

**Periwinkles** · 03-17-2008, 04:48 PM

Were they discussing who had nicer feet? I find that toes are strange looking, if I look at them too long.

I tried getting it fixed today, and I need to order a new keyboard entirely to replace the one on the laptop.

Sometimes I'll use the scroll button on my mouse, and it'll just do it automatically on every single page even though I don't want it too.

Yes, I really need to study too.

NZOCFan · 03-19-2008, 02:26 AM

I think it started off with one of them talking about how her feet were just totally heinous, and it went from there.

Yikes, a new keyboard! I'm really loving the cordless mouse I bought.

Yesterday I dropped my phone while I was getting things out of my locker. I have way too many things in my locker and, unfortunately the floor is pure concrete. It landed in the right direction... except the interior of the screen is broken. I went to get it fixed but all the crap they mentioned seemed so expensive, so they told me to buy a new phone.

I'm still gutted though.

I have this finance assignment to do, and no one knows how to do the first question. Since I don't pay attention - - subject is way too boring -- I'm screwed.

**Periwinkles** · 03-19-2008, 04:54 PM

Ooh, cordless mouse. I've always wanted one of those.

I dropped my phones a few time and it's surprisingly resilient. I dropped it while I was walking downhill once, and it still worked. It just has a couple of scratch marks though.

At least you'll have a brand new phone to replace the old one.

I'm taking finance too, and I find it dreadful too. I should pay attention in class, but I just can't. And I'm so behind in that class.

I don't think I understand everything either.

I'm so happy that it's a 4-day weekend.

NZOCFan · 03-20-2008, 05:20 AM

Yeah I've dropped my phone quite a few times too, and I've never had many scratches. Although lately I have been a clutz. I dropped it in the middle of the road, outside of my brother's apartment complex. But this big flat concrete base was worse.

I think I'll have to get a cheaper phone though. I feel slightly guilty.

I've used my card way too much this month. My favourite store had a big midseason sale yesterday, so I did some shopping.

Yep, I find it hard to pay attention to it too.

My friend took it for summer school, and she said she found it interesting. I was like, huh?

A whole group of us tried to do the first question today, but we kept disagreeing.

I don't even want to use finance for my career, but I have to for all these stupid separate requirements.

Yep I'm excited too! Mainly because mine is a five-day weekend.

But I think I might have to do school work.

**Periwinkles** · 03-21-2008, 08:21 AM

Ooh shopping!

I'm really in the mood to go shopping. I went to a store yesterday and they had some nice clothes on sale, but I figured I didn't have enouhg time to try things on and be on time for my next class.

I'll have to go back next week or something.

I hope you figure it out.

I'll have to do work too (or at least attempt to do some work).
