busy.busy.busy.

I have been SO busy lately, definitely busier than I thought was physically possible. But i thought I should blog my life over the past few months....Not that I can remember a whole lot of it!!

So I guess a lot happened in between my last two posts. The first post being Jess' wedding party, and the second being the nursery rhyme dance.

So since Jess got married and had her reception on July 3:

*Saturday 18th July

The YSA went on a snow trip to Mt field. It turned more in to a hike than a snow trip as there was very little of the white stuff on the ground. When we got to the VERY top we found some snow. There was enough for us to slide around and have a bit of fun!

That night we all went to Elle's for a bit of a Wii night

*Thursday 23rd- Monday 27th July

A little "get-away-from-everything" trip to Melbourne. I went over to visit Andrew, Beth, Ethan, Asher, Emma, Eddy and Tessa. I also caught up with my best friend from primary school and high school, Amy. I stayed at her place one night and we went to see 'Wicked', which was fantastic. I also introduced her (Yes, the Tasmanian introducing the Melbournian to something in Melb) to San Churro, which she loved and was delicious as always!!

Yummo!

*Friday 31st July

A girlie cousins night to the movies to see 'My Sister's Keeper'. We all cried like babies as it was so sad. But the book is WAY better! Definitely read the book before seeing the movie.

*Saturday 1st August

Andrew and Ethan came to Tassie for the weekend. On the Saturday, Mum, Dad, Andrew and Ethan came to Hobart to visit us. it was fun to play with the little boy and muck around with him! He's so cute!!

That night the YSA had a bit of a 'Dance Dance Revolution' Wii party at Elle's

Lab drinks at uni to celebrate the paper getting published! I had my very own bottle of Apple Cider! haha - they look after me well!

That night I went to see GI Joe at the movies with a few people.

*Saturday 8th August

Jess and Kyle were in Hobart. That night we had dinner at Hogsbreath with them, Collette, Hayden, Paul and Alex. It was Hogsbreath's 20th birthday, so they were giving away free mudcake with every steak. Of course this meant we all ordered steak!

After dinner that night, we went to the Tolmans Hill house to help Josh celebrate his birthday.

*Monday 10th August

Another dinner at Hogsbreath for steak and cake. This time with Matty, Nic, Drew, Chris and Paul.

Open Housing with Kathryn Y, Lisa T, Jess B and Jess K.

Tip shopping and TV smashing with Kathryn Y and Lisa T - yes, we went to the tip shop, bought a ten dollar tv and a two dollar hockey stick, went out the back of nowhere and smashed it to pieces. Really quite fun and therapeutic.

Oh...and random moments that don't really fit anywhere....

Being in the lab late at night and discovering something on a poster of biochemical pathways in the hallway. I never knew that the process of endocytosis was also called "kiss & Run". I found this amusing at midnight.

Having pictures stuck on the wall in the office next to my desk, coloured in and drawn by my supervisors daughter, Lucia.

Finding comics in the mercury that we found amusing as it applied to all of us lab people!
