productive day  

I started the day with my callcenter job. I worked from 11 till 1. Only two hours. And the fun part is that I work from home.

After that I decided to paint our cellar. Before I started painting I had to clean everything. A good preparation is half the work. Soo...I couldn't believe my eyes. What kind of people lived here? It was soooo dirty. And full with spiders and that smell...UGHH
Then finally I could paint it. Unfortunately my dad didn't bought enough paint so...I couldn't finish all that work. 

Then I made simple dinner: spaghetti. But without a kitchen...only that gas thing where you can cook on. So it gets a little complexer...
We are preparing that room to place the new kitchen.

Since I was covered all over with sweat and paint...and a bad smell. I decided to go all the way with cleaning. I cleaned the dusty stairs and the whole bathroom. 

So now I'm satisfied and will give myself a nice warm clean shower ^_^

Oh yeah and meanwhile I also bought a cosmetic brush set on Ebay! JaY! ANDdddd I bough a teeth withenere package, also on Ebay. It seems to work so I thought I'd give it try.

curls - second try  

So since I used the curling iron for the first time I think I could do it better. So today I did more my best. Here are the pictures with straight VS. curled hair made with the curling iron.



Uhh, I look like a ghost on the second picture, but I just put it online to show the curls. SO...I don't think the result is amazing but it's allright. Maybe it's because of the type of curling iron, cause it was a cheap one anyway...

Curling Iron  

Yesss, I bought myself a curling iron! I aways had straight hair and started to wonder how curls would look on me. That's why I first tried to made curls with rubbersticks! Here is the result:

Curls made with rubbersticks

And today I tried this with a cheap Philips curling iron (€12,49). Here is the result....but don't forget it was the first time EVER that I used a curling iron!

Curls made with curling iron
curlscurls


I like both methods, they both have their pro's and no's. 

rubbersticks:
Pro's: not that bad for your hair, you don't have to be afraid to get burned, curls appear also on higher part of the hair and not just below.
No's: The wire in the rubberstick can come out, the curls are messy, the curls start to disappear after a couple hours.

Curling Iron:
Pro's: Easy to use, curls don't look messy.
No's: I'm afraid to get burned, it's bad for your hair, Curls appear only down your hair

time for relaxation  
I had a veryyy busy week. I studied from morning till late in the evening. Sometimes I had to work....I was so exhausted an had sleep deprivation...I really didn't had any time for myself.

So after working saturday afternoon I was soo relieved. I decided to relax a little and today, Sunday is my relax day. I took a nice shower, tried out curls in my hair with rubbersticks. And the result looks nice!  I listened to some nice music, gave myself a beauty treatment...things like that ^_^

Study-weekend  

I studied this whole weekend. I can't remember when the last time was that I've studied so hard for an exam. I finished 3/4 part of the study material. So I still got monday and Tuesday left. Also I need to work on monday from 9 till 1. Bad timing, but God thank I have the rest of the day. This feels like a race against the clock.

This exam is one of the most difficult ones I ever had. So I NEED to finish that shit.

Thematic Apperception Test  

I have put myself in a difficult position today. For the subject "Clinical Psychodiagnostics" I had to practice the psychodiagnostic process on a person. Yes, indeed I have an experimental subject! I did an intelligence test and a personality test. Now it was time for the projective test. We all know the Rosarch test (the one wth the ink patterns). I could  have chosen to asses a big test like the Rosarch or 2 small projective tests. Initialy I wanted to do 2 simple tests. So today I went to the testing library by bike. I was all out of breath when I arrived there and said I want the "ZAT" and the "TAT". The first one is indeed a small test. But I made a huge mistake with this second one....it is something like the Rosarch...it is the Thematic Apperception Test, which sucks! I can't change the test because that library is closed and tomorrow I need to do this test with my subject! I don't understand shit of the manual. Now I got more work to do. But the positive thing is...it is fun to do this test. 

This week is very hectic. I am also studying for an exam on wednesday and Friday is my deadline of this diagnostic report I need to make. I locked myself up today in my room and will be doing this the whole weekend!

just a day  

I don't know why but lately I have soo much trouble with getting out of bed. I think it is because of this warm weather....Today I slept till 12:00 o clock. I wish I had gotten up earlier, at least I could have studied in the morning and enjoy the whole day without feelings of guilt.

Then I went to the city and bought a pack of 50 d's for €16,99 which was expensive in my opinion. At least I can listen to my music on my portable cd-player jay...

Then I went to my mom and we went to this store to buy a lawnmower. And we mowed the lawn in my garden...it took a while untill we figured out how this machine works and my mom started to get annoying. She always thinks she knows it better and is always overconcerned with things...*sigh*

Then I worked at home in the evening. YESSSS! more money on my bank account. I can't wait to spend it :P

There is a whole list of things I want to have, especially since I bought this new house... O_o

I feel kinda nervous now cause I need to studdyyyyy. I need to stop sleeping.

Writer's Block: Pick an era, any era  

If you had to pick a time period to live in, which would you choose? Why?


View other answers

This period, because woman have more "equal" rights. In this period the knowledge is also bigger about all kind of things, for example about diseases. We need to move forward, not backward.

Friday Night  

My boyfriend goes like every Friday to this cafe...
I've been there a couple of times with him, but lately I was always to tired...didn't had enough money to spend it on drinks....
and he met a whole bunch of new people there, which were also asking every time about me.

So yesterday I decided to go with my boyfriend. The weather was warm. How could I not go again?
I arrived there and there was a whole group of people sitting there, like 12 people which I don't know, except two of them.

I have the tendency to feel uncomfortable in these situations...
Do they like me? Or would they say bad things about me? Are they paying more attention to me since they don't know me?
My boyfriend says he doesn't notice anything about my insecurity and that people are always positive about me. So I know I shouldn't feel that way but I just can't help it. I'm just afraid to say something stupid. But where does this fear come from? SO WHAT if I say something stupid? Nobody is perfect. But why do I always have to do my best? Why do I care so much about what people think of me? Why am I always nice to people? Always being nice makes me tired sometimes...

But eventually I amused myself that evening. And that without alcohol cause I had to drive my bf and me home.
We even played games like hints and stuff...those people were nice. No need to worry.

Yesterday I was so tired...
I went to my "patient" in the psychiatric institution cause I do volunteery work and I'm kinda his "buddy/friend". I had to go 45 minutes with the bus to go there, then I was there about an hour and went back again 45 minutes with the bus...

I came home and had to send some letters for work so I can get paid...

Then I went to class and after class I've talked with some friends from college..

Then I had to go to the supermarket for dinner,god thank my bf cooked cause I was just tired..

Then had to do some work in the garden

and then already it was like20.00.
and I was just too lazy to post something here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today  I can relax a little more, though I have to work again tonight from 18:00 till 21:00. You might think "oh, she only works three hours" but believe me, three hours is a long time when you have to call people and talk to them all the time. I need to interview them and ask all sorts of questions. For example I call in the name of their bank and ask if they are satisfied and if the bank could do anything better, things like that. 

But I like this work caus I can do it at home. You just need to have internet and a phone...and of course a not too old computer. And I get paid for it immediately the next week after working.

I need to work at least two shifts a week. So tonight I work a shift and tomorrow morning again from 9:00 till 12:00. And you can pick your own day and morning/day/everning shift...so i is a very flexible job.

garlic  

I love to eat garlic. I want to eat it everyday!! It makes everything taste so damn good...
unfortunately it has a strong smell...

I bought this bag of toasted pieces of bread with garlic and I loved it so much that I ate like... the whole bag.. 
So I wont be buying that anymore. Instead I searched for some healthy recipies with garlic, yummy. I want to try out this potato salad with garlic..

I don't feel that guilty though cause I went to the gym today. I did a lot of homework and went to a class. So it was a good day.

I got a tan..  
It was sunny again today and it will be the whole week. I decided from now on to sit in the sun every day of the week for a whole hour, so that I can get a tan and also to relax.

Today I sat an hour outside in my garden with the sun shining on my face. I think I already got a nice brown color on my arms and on my face. You can see the color difference on my arm when I hold up the sleeve of my t-shirt. Whee :)

I also did study a little but have to do a lot more, so here I go..

fucking saleswoman bitch!  
forgive me my language...but I'm really pissed off now.
So let me explain:

A week ago on Saturday I bought this pretty watch at the market for €15. I was with a friend and after I bought it we had lunch and something to drink. While we were sitting there I noticed that my watch had stopped. The indicator for the seconds was stuck at the indicator for the minutes. After turning on and off my watch it started ticking again, but later again it got stuck...
So that same day I went back to the market and the woman said that it probably needs a new battery. I didn't really believe in it but allright I gave it a try. And the woman seemed so friendly cause she said "if there is a problem you can come back next saturday"

So later that same day when I was home the watch got stuck AGAIN! So I decided for myself to go back next week and trade it for another same one or get my money back. And today was that day.

I wanted to lay in my bed but I just had to get up cause I needed to go back to that market. I went with my bike, which takes 30 minutes.
Then I came there and said my watch was broke. I gave it to her when it was stuck. Then she turned on that watch and it started to work again, DUH. That wasn't anything new to me and I started to get annoyed cause she didn't believe me in the first place that it's broken! I looked at the watch in her hand and waited a few seconds untill the indicators meet again and get stuck and I told her "SEE! it's stuck again!"

Then she said to me she will take my watch and I can come back monday to pick it up. I was like "wait a minute, you can't just take my watch, I want my money back if you take it." She started to talk blabla that she needs to look at it first and she can't trade the watch because she hasn't the same one. Then I said "I just want my money back, here you can have your watch back" and she refused!!!! And said "this isn't a shop, you can't have your money back".

Now I really got pissed of and started to yell "I will tell every custumer here that you're a fraud!" so I told the man who was next to me looking for watches "I bought a watch last week and it's broken, now she won't give me my money back" but that IDIOT just kept on looking for a new watch!!! AARGHHH!!! what's wrong with these people! That bitch of a saleswoman said to me  "you can come back monday and I'll give you another watch" and I got soo angry and said "but you said to me to come on SATURDAY! I came all the way 30 minutes by bike just for that stupid watch"! She replied "I can't give you the money". I said "fine" and left angry...  
I win't go back to the bitch cause I'm too proud for that shit.

I called my boyfriend later and toldhim what happened. He said 'that I've learned my lesson and shouldn't buy things on the market and tol me to buy myself a new one in the shop.

That's what I did. I bought myself a new one for €29. Bleh!

today  
Today I did all kinds of little things..

My bf and I went with my dad to pick up our new washing machine, jay!!! I can smell good again...and it looks so much better since I painted the place where the washing machine is. Work pays off!

Then I went to the city with my boyfriend and I got a new sim card cause mine was broken. I had to live 4 days without my mobie phone and that really sucks. 

Then I had to call work; both my parttime jobs. One about payment stuff, other for work appointments, bleh.

Then....I downloaded new themes for my mobile phone since it started to work again. I thought  I'd give my mobile a new fresh look.

Then...I had dinner, my boyfriend cooked some healthy diet food. It tasted very good though.

Then...I went to the gym, 25 minutes on the bicycle thing and 15 minutes stepping.

Then...I was sooo hungry and ate a salad; cucumber, tomatos and onion.

Then...I had to shower (cause all of the sweating in the gym) and I needed to wash my hair...

Now...I'm drying my hair and sitting behind my laptop.

And this was my day.

paint  
Today is the Queens Birthday here in Netherland and it is celebrated here every year.
Since I didn't do anything special with it today I decided to do something useful: paint the little place where the washing machine will be and do some of my methods homework.

I started at 1pm and finished now at 8.20pm with the paint! First I had to clean the whole thing cause it was a mess, lot's of dust. Then I painted the ceiling white, then I painted the walls light pink (I still had it left when I used it for my room) then I even painted the floor white. Then I had to clean all the paint stuff. So, it takes a lot of timeeventually, but I'm happy with he result.

Now it is kinda late to do my homework, cause I'm tired....
