Today is a busy day for my company because all the important people have came for the seminary for OAD: once a day milking. I believe that Jim Anderton has also came for a weekend visit. He is the leader of the previously well-known party: Alliance, and now is the leader in Correlation partner with Helen Clark, the Right Honourable Prime Minister of New Zealand. Cool. Bit stressed about blogging because big-wigs are coming to visit and do not know what to say. Am feeling a little bit daunted because did not wear appropriate uniform of Dexcel today. Just keep my head down and write the introduction of thesis. Should be ok.
I mean it must have been a short one because they will go to the farm to see demonstration of once a day milking. Cool. Just need to get through this morning and maybe my supervisor will have time to get ozone generator back from Wellington?

Work hard be4 the Illusive Old Man comes...
Yes, it's that time of the year again. I hate to say this, but why do all the people have to do all the work before Christmas? Does that generate more stress on workers? Yes, it does. I hope I am not stressing other people out, but apprently, everyone, it seems to me that everyone is stressing out about something. Is that because we are adults so we have to stress about some things? Or is it just me?
Present buying had practically finished since no boyfriend is in sight. Acutally, feeling quite cool because not having one means you do not have to think up a present for him! And actually, the thought of buying one, and the thought that he may not like the one you buy have left me! Ya! Singleton is the new word and it's not so bad! Not bad at all.
Talked with younger colleague today about marriage. Maybe it's good, maybe it's not so good. Depends on who you ask, I suppose. I'd like to get married in the future but not right now. Not ready for relationship, really. Not mature enough, although seems to be old outside does not mean inside is mature enough. Am too romantic and all the tests taken showed that 1. Need a prince who will always takes care of ones needs; 2. Am Harry Potter or some other magical character who apparently do not drop back to Earth at all.
Talked to supervisor because she is just weird lately. Always talking about other people getting a raise or NOT getting a raise. Very sad about NOT being the centre of attention so started asking about trains. Trains in England very cheap when she was studying in Reading. Hmm...personal thought: is this a safe subject or am I just plain dumb and can not see that she is agitated and always change the subject when I am talking? I said that some drivers are very bad, actually she thinks NZ drivers are not so good, either. Haha, that's what I thought. Well, who knows. Who knows who are worse. Maybe just some drivers are bad and when you are better than them then you will complain. People are like this at all things so make note to self that it's ok to blame things on other people. Sometimes, they really have done something bad. They are naughty and should not have done some things. Haha, why? Because you've made them look bad. Devilish? No, that's just the way it is.
Think about two blondes who are REAL devilish, dividing up my university supervisor right now. Don't know why men always fall for blondes. They are trying to get some money offers from the university as well. What? What? I can't believe them. They asked me about how I did in a sniffy little voice. I don't like them. They don't even come to my party. So what? I don't need your charity. I can do things myself, thank you very much. Am capable to do many things and don't need to depend on others. AM OK with organisation skills, maybe a little no-brainer, but actually quite smart.
Novel: no chapters now. I am thinking about quiting, but this novel has a nice built-up already. I just need the most exciting thing to happen, but since these days are filled with pizza and hungry mobs and filling tips of pipettes and people who comes into our office pretending to be busy... I am very disppointed in the crowd. I work very hard no matter what. That's my life. I love work, not an workaholic, but am hard-working, smart, thoughtful individual who write long senseless sentences in journal of life.
Well, am feeling very happy at the moment because some money may come through next week so can really do some Christmas shopping. First need to sort out mobile so can safe some money.
Nothing more to do. Just sleep. Feeling down about marks, but thought better not to ask the department to re-mark it. Or should I? I want an honor grade and am not going to let it slip through my hands again.

23 ozone machine is not back but finally getting rewarded for the hard work
It is amazing. I don't know why, but suddenly feel relieved because I am getting paid for my work! I have worked for the Company for two months, and have not been paid any money. I work pretty hard, and have not been slacking off at all. No holiday, only one day sick because of too much ozone. Naughty me (?)
Anyway, better get on to telling you my life story. Dear me. I have waited for the signing of the contract for so long that it's nearly killed my bank account. My bank account has always been set low because I pay my parents for my food and my room (fair enough because now am 23-years-old singleton?????? Hope am not singleton, a bit too young for being singleton, but a bit too old for student). I have not paid for about two months now! Money running out before Christmas, very difficult life indeed! Mum is chasing me in not so many words. Life has became suddenly hard because no money in bank account!!!!
So poor. Today the whole thing is resolved. Suddenly supervisor has found his head and gave me approval of the contract! Ya! Worth publishing on net because very happy, and am honest individual. Feel as if I am part of the team in university and company. Start of adulthood and the long years of earning bucks, doing jobs, etc. Becoming useful in the world! Not eating and buying clothes off my old folks! Not failing any subjects in university and go out drinking like dumb stupid girls! Cool, am finally a new person.
Feeling very happy and am even more willing to work. Tomorrow have big trial in the mastitis team and will help do small part of the job. Will also wait for the ozone generator to come but think it takes a few day to get it up and running. Hope everything turns out well.
Need to go to Ruakura Library to search some papers. However, should first do a general search so when get there will not waste a lot of time searching for papers in the library.
Nagging thoughts about should or should not send Christmas card to ex-boyfriend. I believe the definition of ex is that you don't send cards or presents to them, no matter which kind of friend. No obligation to them anymore, not like family members or close friends not-in-relationship-type.
I am strong and should not send him the card, but have bought one and probably will end up sending it to someone else. Should do that. Don't send it to him so will not give him any hope. He should get his own life and find true love.
Sister didn't want to wake up and work, a little bit too worried so called mum in the morning. Turned out to be false alarm. Hahahaha strangely nervous Egandopamine, why am I like that? Too stressed.
Had nervous break-down episode last night, very scared maybe will turn into child again. But a person is like that sometimes, I believe the way you deal with stress differs as you age and that is showing that you are finally a grown-up. I think I will grow up more after Masters degree has been done, but may take another serious event in the family. Hope not. I never hope anything would happen, ok? Nothing is good.
Very happy thought now. Dad is coming back the week after the next week; getting paid after next week and bank account will be healthy again; should practice cello again so will be much better when going back to the orchestra; should stop writing novel and think about what to put into it first; should start hassling friends again but in a gentler way.
Saw Sam in university Info Common today, very strange, he seems to be going out with another girl now. I thought he is together with hmm....ok normal university romance, short-lived and fiery. Ok. Rethink maybe I am not normal now, but am glad myself is different to other gals in town. Not slut.
Good to write. Just hope people don't mind my neurotic rambling.

Shopping and Wrapping up Prizzis
Blog has became a weekly diary for me now...very bad. I don't know, it must be because Christmas is near, that I am very busy shopping for the people who are close to me.
I have thought up what to send mydove and have sent her the scarf. Hope she likes it! It's got so many colors! Maybe a bit too weird, but it's nice and warm for the cold winter in Taiwan. I have also sent Cod her book about the ship. It's in English, but it's first page has a nice illustrated ship that shows the names of each part of the ship, for example, the mast. It's a great book! I enjoyed it! I hope Cod likes it. The cover is cool, too.
I had bought mum a nice indoor skirt. It's very cosy and she can wear it when it's very hot (like now). The weather is very unpredictable at the moment, sometimes very hot and dry, and it rains when you least expecting it. Very strange weather pattern, and people keep blaming the La Nina but I don't think it is that.
I sent Fuzzyslowmo five fiction paperbacks. Hope she loves them and will spend some times during the summer months to read them. Hope her Christmas is not only filled with food and warm fuzzy feeling. She will become a fuzzy"lazy"mo if she does not read a little. Although I might have persuaded her to become a couch potato. >_< Why did I buy her books and not get her to do riverwalk with me instead?
Yesterday went to Mr. L and Mrs. Sixs' houses. They are both away and their garden need to be taken care of. I like gardening, but to do two in one day is a little bit too much. I am not used to doing two gardens in less than five hours. We only mow the lawns as Mr. L's trees are a little too big for us to handle. I don't mind small trees and can help saw them off, but the ones at his house are not easy to take care of because people who rent his house don't cut trees. They pay for people to come in to do their lawns. Mrs. Six's garden is much better looking, but her lawn is very long and narrow. I know all the garden enthusiasts will stand up and groan, but I don't care. Their garden is too big and it has no trees to speak of. The owner of the house plant vegetables in patches and didn't pull the dead veges up before she leaves! If that is a crime I am sure she will already be in Garden jail. Mum complained as well, saying that she is supposed to be very tidy. I think if she loves gardening and growing vegetables, then maybe she should have pulled some out before she leaves for the summer holiday. We are not slaves.
Enough whining. I think summer is generally good. My garden is great. We take care of it constantly and if there are some weed then we pull them out. Not immediately, but when we garden, we go for the whole nine yards. We have our own compost and plant small manageble plants instead of large unruly ones. I like gardening. Why shouldn't I? It's a nice way to enjoy the summer/winter and plants are quiet. Some are good enough to eat and some are nice to look at.
Generally speaking, my life is fulfiled. I have done quite a lot of exercise during the weekend and also cooked a corn and rice stew. It has ham in it as well, but because I added too much water, it was not sweet enough so had to add extra salt and pepper. Not very good, should improve on my cooking skills in the summer. There are always something to do. Too much to do in the summer, actually. Can only do some things. I am not a superwoman.
Wrapping up presents have became a major event in my family. Fuzzyslowmo is making a calender for next year, and on the Whitcoulls sale, she bought a dark booklet and have already done at least three to four months worth of next year's calender. Me, as a lazy working masters student, have bought 1 calender that goes for 1.5 years, an Index book for addresses and webpages, a cheap blank planner for the week (fill our the date and time of appointments if necessary), and started two paper dairys: one cream one for short important things and one for thoughts and things happened like a log. Great! Organised person. Shopped and happy.
Clothwise, I bought a white skirt only. Not a lot. Went with mum to salvation army to buy some working clothese. One already stained by some unknown yellow objects, suspected Curry. May have been the face cloth we put on pillows. Very evil object and should avoid any colorful face cloth in the future. Should use plain ones or ones with less dyes on them.
Experiment worked today! Ya! Results are out, not so great but as expected: all passed! Not very high pass but high enough for my standard. I mean it's not any different to my third year results. Amazing coincidence and decided to leave university immediately so will not be under scrutiny of girls in the same lab. However, feel a bit superior because will get paid work instead of doing non-paid job/masters thesis for supervisor. Is working very hard for the company and also university. University will get loyalty from my brain and they should be very happy that I can put so much knowledge and also give publicity about mastitis research in relation to the Biological Department. I may not be the brightest bottom, but I am as good as it gets! Here I come, Egandopamin, the engineer/scientist brainy woman! hahahahaha did I fool you?
