| I'm getting over this motel thing.
I'm tired.
I'm fat.
And i'm sick of putting on this nice act for people.
I just want to go home and sleep.
I want to be able to wash my hair.
Oh and i want spend my earnings.
I'm contemplating on purchasing a dining room table or a treadmill.
Or i'll just save it... I don't know.
I'm too fatigued to think straight.
I'm not saying that this whole motel thing is bad. It's just that i want just ONE day to sleep in and have a decent shower.
The days go fast. Most of the day you don't do anything and then in the afternoon you get this rush with like 3 phone calls and 2 families at the desk and you are like AHHHHHH. And then people demand all these things and you just get so frustrated.
Then you get these rude people when you tell them the price they are like "Oh do you know anywhere else that's cheaper?" and it's like WHY would i recommend you go somewhere else? Go find somewhere else yourself.
Mmmm.... a nice hour long bath would be sooo good right now.

| Looking after a motel is really mentally exhausting AND physically exhausting. It's only physically exhausting because i only get 6-8 hours sleep a night when i need 10-12 to function. You get some really crazy people coming in. Like some strange lady who didn't have an address or anything and left a vibrator in her room and came back the next day to get it like it was reallyyyyy important to her. eww. Then there were these crazy old ladies who yelled at my Dad for not having enough parking. He yelled back though... it was funny. Also this man who was abit of a cockhead who was like the biggest cheapo ever, even though he looked snobby and rich. He was telling me "Oh you're Dad charges me only $65 and he gives me free petrol vouches and i need a garage" and it's like ahhh anything else cockface? It really annoyed me when the crazy old ladies got cranky at us for having no parking left. I mean we were fully booked up except for one room and it's not like we can just magically build parking or anything. They went out and didn't get back till 11pm, so it's not like they | | |
| Tomorrow Adam and i start looking after my parents motel for like 10 days.
I bet it's going to be so long and boring, but the money at the end of it is awesome.
I have bad headaches the last few hours. I guess they could be tension headaches/stress... but i'm not really nervous about the whole thing... unless I'm lying to myself about how nervous i really am.
I mean if my parents can look after a motel, then i most certainly can.
The main things i am worried about is:
1. Burning the place down
2. Someone yelling at me
3. The lack of sleep
If i want to own and run a huge company some day then I'll have to be able to run some measly motel. It's a great starting point.
Realistically leaving your 19 daughter to run a 33 room motel is a pretty big risk... but on another note i am way more mature than 90% of 19 year olds i know.
I guess i am more "life smart" than "academic smart".
It's not that I'm not academically smart, it's just my concentration span and motivation is just shocking.
I remember during high school i was just so bored. Sitting through class was total and utterly annoying. I was just so unmotivated.
Tests were the worst because i couldn't be bothered to study. Assignments were perfect though when i bothered to do them.
Since doing TPC at TAFE i have been more motivated, except now when i am motivated i get really bad tension headaches and anxiety... ha! i am never going to win.
Sometimes i do wish i could go back in time to year 11 and 12 and tried harder and done different subjects. But being so young compared to everyone else i had absolutely no direction. I didn't even want to go to UNI back then.
At least now i have some kind of direction which is good.
I would love to write some sort of goal list, but it will only be lost and forgotten over time.
The next "goal" i have is to get a dining room table. After buying that i won't spend anything until Christmas.
I also have to save for Japan. But we aren't going till next year. I want about $5000 for that trip. Hopefully my parents give me $1000, so i only need to save $4000.
I think I'm very money minded. I like to budget for agessss and then splurge a bit of that.
While getting new sofas was great, the downside is it is now making me want a "perfect house" and i am wanting to now buy all these new furniture items.
I'll definitely stop after dining table and banquet table thingy haha until after we come back from Japan. Maybe buy a few more things then start saving for a house deposit.
This entry is long and pointless but a great time waster :)
I'm off to now make some honey toast!

| So today i had to take a trip to the dentist. It had been quite a while since i have been to the dentist - even then i hadn't really established my own "regular" dentist since moving here.
I called up another dentist - the one i went to only once to inquire about teeth whitening... but they were on holidays.
I decided on one near the plaza because it was in a decent location and it's not like i know any other dentists.
The reason why i needed to go was because last weekend at karate camp i was drinking a Vodka Cruiser and Adam accidentally knocked me while i was drinking thus chipping my two front teeth!
My chipped teeth were not even that bad. Just a tiny bit off the corners in the middle of my two front teeth.
So yes... we went along to the dentist thinking that it would cost around $100-150... maybe $200 AT THE VERY MOST.
The dentist surgery was very proper. Like scarily proper. I told them i didn't want a check up, i also noted it on my sheet... and they still gave me one.
He counted each tooth and commented on each one... which was strange.
The whole atmosphere made me feel very insecure. I walked into the dentist room and they just stared at me for some reason (*shrugs*). They then told me to go back out and wait only to tell me to come back in a few seconds later. Then i got this measly apology and none from the receptionist for fucking up. Unprofessional.
From that point on i just wanted to get out. Besides that little screw up they were professional in actually fixing my teeth... a little too professional... like EXPENSIVE professional.
The procedure was awkward. Water kept spraying all over my face and neck and other icky things.
In the end my teeth look great. They don't even look like they've been chipped.
I went out to pay and the receptionist goes "$320".
THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DOLLARS.
320 DOLLARS FOR SMALL AS CHIPS IN MY TEETH.
$125 for each tooth + $50 for a checkup which i told twice that i didn't want.
I was like *this* close to shrieking "Are you fucking serious?... $320 for that?"
I paid it off my eftpos and Adam has to pay me back.
Dentists are so expensive and a rip off.

| Got my stat marks. 151/200. 4 marks off from guaranteed entry into university.
Certificate IV in Information Technology (Websites) (Design) at TAFE looks alright. I don't know how long it runs for though... you can also do it online too. Just another option.
University placements come out on the 25th (I think). If i don't get in I'll be doing another preparation program run by the university.
I'm bored. Adam's at karate and didn't want to stay home with me tonight. Even though he'll be at karate on Thursday night and all weekend because of the karate camp.
The camp is going to be cold. I'll have to start writing up a food and entertainment list. I've never really been camping before. I've been to school camps, but i classify them as... H E L L.
I think that's all i want to get off my mind...
