Oops, so I’ve been home now for nearly a week. There really wasn’t much opportunity to post whilst I was overseas, and then I came home and it was Christmas! Ha. Gotta love this time of year, jolly jolly jolly. I got a new mac slim keyboard, and am loving it. I geeked out for a little bit when I unwrapped it, heh.
Thailand and Laos were amazing. It really was interesting to see the difference between Thailand and Laos, as soon as you cross the friendship bridge into Laos you can just feel the difference almost immediately. My only real experience of Asia has been visiting Malaysia, and I think KL and Bangkok have similarities, but apart from that, everything else was pretty different. Bangkok was a lot more modern than I anticipated, part of that due to my naivety I’m sure.
wait it out
Last minute preparations tomorrow for Thailand! I’m pretty damn excited now. I just went and looked at the places we’re staying, and they look awesome! I hope I pack all the essentials, but should be okay. I’m sure I can find anything I need if I forget something…not planning to pack a whole lot of clothes either. BUY BUY BUY!!!
Hum hum.
Even though I’m only going away for 16 days, I think it’s possibly the longest I’d have been away from any family. I’ve never travelled overseas with just friends before, and I honestly cannot believe it has taken this long to do it. But thank god that I am, not that I’m sick of home, but it’ll be so refreshing to just get away. And a nice ending to uni. ‘Uni’s’ as a friend pointed out, the old old version of schoolies. Hah. Anyway, must stock up on medical supplies, electronic supplies and cosmetic supplies. I think those are the necessities of travel.
I must say, TV has been a bit of a let down. All my shows aren’t up to par… SPEAKING OF PARS. TIGER WOODS. What the hell. He was like, my idol. And I’m not even kidding. I started to adore him from a young age (being into golf and such), and it really is just disappointing. I can’t even see anything funny about it, and it annoys me when people crack jokes about it. If there was one shiny figure in sports, it was him, and now he’s ruined. Sigh. He’s really let himself and his family down. One day, maybe, I can go back to screaming out his name whilst watching him on tv, but that’s not happening anytime soon. I hope I can though.
Well, that came out of nowhere 
Moving on. I think I am seeing Where The Wild Things Are tomorrow and I have no been more psyched for a movie in so long! As soon as the trailer came out, I have been jonesing to see it. I think I even made an entry saying that back then. Anyway, the wild things look utterly amazing and it’s just such a beloved book that I hope it lives up to its expectations. Which I have faith it will. It can’t not be good. It also has, um, I forget her name at the moment. But the actress from Into The Wild, whom I love. And the type is really hot for the film.
Anyway, got a busy couple days coming up, I haven’t even begun to pack. I should go to bed, but I’ll probably drop by before I fly away.
nb. added more things to portfolio. Still need to do more though, eep.
my name is geraldine, i’m your social worker
I have officially completed my studies.
Did my presentation last Wednesday, spent the next few days celebrating, and now here we are. Doing nothing, but still feeling anxious. I like being scheduled and knowing when I’m going to do things before I have to do them, but now it’s like… OYSTER WORLD. WORLD AS OYSTER. And I have no idea how to go about things, like you know, getting employed and stuffz. Yes, with a z. I’m also going to Thailand pretty damn soon, Dec 6th, and that’s for 2 weeks. I should go trip shopping, albeit I don’t think there will be a whole lot of shopping I’ll have to do for it. I will hopefully be able to buy a lot of stuff over there 
But I also have no job (ha, and now I sound like a complete bum) so I can’t spend all of my money otherwise my NY fund will dwindle faster than I’d like, even before getting to NY! /breathes.
I still need to make this place more ‘portfolio-y’ but I’ve gotten a bit lazy. From all of the nothing. I should perhaps start thinking about all the things I will need to make my exhibition space in the graduates show something that will stand out and get people to pay attention. /waves hand. Another day, another day. I have no idea what I want to put up, and the only things I can think of is that I need to design a new business card for myself, that being step one. Anyhoo, this is rather non-exciting.
SKINS MARATHON, however, is very exciting. Friends and I are going to have one this week and I’m a bit over-excited for it. It’ll be my 2nd watch-through of the first generation, as opposed to my gazillion viewings of the 3rd seasons. Oops. So I’m ready to get back into seasons 1 and 2 and give them the lovin’ that they need.
I wonder if I’ll have internet in Thailand/Laos – or if I’ll even have time to use them. But since I’ve never been before, I’d quite like to document the trip and such. We’ll see. I also think I should be getting some injections to protect me from diseases, and that I should have gotten them like 2 weeks ago. Oops.
