So last night, after my 9am-7pm work shift, I drove to Highpoint to meet Dan and some friends and go see The Avengers! Oh my god it was so awesome! :D I won't give away any spoilers... but I'll just say that Hulk and Iron Man were the best.

I have no idea what that icon of Iron Man is supposed to be doing...

I'm just chillin' today because I've got another 10 hour shift tomorrow. :( For anyone who is interested, I've started using instagram! My username is vinterskogen, and here's a web link that you can see my pictures on - http://web.stagram.com/n/vinterskogen/

Cosy time

Today was sooooo cold! It made me so happy :D I think the weather was at about 11 degrees all day, and it was a little windy and raining too.
Last night for dinner I tried something new - taco wraps, and I made them with Quorn mince. SO delicious!!

The mixture looks gross in the picture haha :D But it was so good! Dan ate his with nacho chips, and I had mine with wheat wraps. I'll definitely be making this again!

I spent most of today in class. Here's what I wore.

I'm loving the forest green and wine colours for winter :) Thought they'd go well with my gold little owl friend up there. I wore my big overcoat on top of this outfit because it was so cold outside! And as promised here's an absolutely retarded photo of me in my jacket...

I love it so much! When I'm not shrugging, the coat comes almost down to my knees. With that and some chunky socks inside big boots, I was nice and warm today :3
I spent some time in the library with a few friends before heading to class today. We did a little bit of assignment revision, a bit of looking at pictures of pretty Korean boys who look like girls, and a bit of general fuckery.

My friends Hayden (in the amazing bear hat), Allison and Tommy.

Also I was very proud about finishing my Linguistics assignment and handing it in!

WeeooooO!

And here's one last photo of my pretty university :) It was raining when I took the photo but you can't tell.

Winter feeling

Hi! It's been a few days, I know. I'll start with Saturday - I didn't have work, so I stayed home with Dan getting over my illness. I've been coughing constantly this past week! Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night wheezing :/ But I feel like I'm getting better. I made some lovely food for lunch on Saturday, which I ate while doing my Linguistics homework ~

The Chinese characters in the first picture say "xiao long bao", which is a type of dumpling with meat and a bit of soup inside. They are SO delicious! :3 And "edamame" are Japanese - they're boiled soybean pods with a little bit of salt.

The Linguistics assignment I was writing has been damn hard. But I feel proud of myself for getting through it! :)

Can't you see I'm overjoyed!?

On Saturday night I was feeling lazy and had been craving pancakes all day, SO I made them for dinner. xD Or "brinner", as they'd say in How I Met Your Mother, which is a hybrid of breakfast and dinner. Dan thought it was genius... If only I'd been able to give him some bacon with his pancakes! Haha.

They were soooooooooo good :D Looking at the picture makes me want more! Hahah

I spent the rest of the night watching Teen Mom which is a show I'm addicted to at the moment! And then I went to work on Sunday feeling much better...

Everything I wear to work is from there - Cotton On. I have on some black boots, shiny leggings, a leopard print skirt, a sheer black top and a blazer on in these pictures. I kept my makeup fairly natural and one of the girls at work said it looked really nice, so I was happy :3

As for today, I've been to uni for class, then Dan and I went into town to get our rent money and some groceries. I got to wear my big puffy coat outside because the weather finally got cold :D :D But I don't have any pictures of it yet. I have a feeling I'll wear it again tomorrow so I'll take pictures of it then. This is what I wore today ~

Again, everything is from Cotton On (except for my little turtle necklace).

No idea why I'm making such a sleazy face in this one! Hahaha oh god. It's like I'm trying to lure you into my van. With candy.

Aaaaaand this is my current state of being. I'm enjoying a nice hot coffee, and am about to play some TERA with Dan. I'll do a separate entry on that game because we've both been playing it for the past few days and I love it! Tonight I'm making some tacos with Quorn mince for dinner :D Byebye!

Sick!

Sorry I haven't posted anything in the past few days, I have been really sick and have basically just been hiding out in the dark, coughing and whimpering pathetically. I had a shift at work this morning but had to call in sick, which sucks because it means I missed out on about a hundred bucks. But I can't be too hard on myself because it's important to just take a break and heal when I'm sick. I haven't left the house at all today, but I did manage to eat three balanced meals which I think is pretty good!

Here's a couple of photos from the other day when I went to work.

You can't really tell in the photos, but this was on Wednesday and I was nooooot feeling well. I had a 2pm-7pm shift and barely got through it. By the time I got home, Dan had pizza in the oven for me, and I basically just passed the fuck out.

I'm thinking about maybe doing a video or two, but I'm really not sure what the subject matter should be. I've been watching so many Jenna Marbles videos over the past couple of days, and she's just awesome and I'm a little jealous. I'd want to actually contribute something to the internet and make people laugh instead of just doing a boring video about my life.

I don't really have anything else interesting to add - I'll be resting some more tomorrow, and then Sunday I have work and then Dan and I will be going to my parents' house for dinner. Hopefully I can get my hair cut soon. I'd love to dye it partially purple... We'll see. I might attempt my own tragic bleach job at home. And document the results...

Linguistics bores me out of my skull

Hello! Today I went to uni. I sat through 3 hours of Linguistics as always on Tuesdays... it was so horribly boring, the lecturer is really nice but she mumbles through the whole class and is barely audible. I'm just planning on making some chicken katsu curry for dinner tonight (which is my specialty!) and relaxing, so here are a few photos from today :)

Me with no makeup on this morning D:

The big boots I am wearing are Dan's... they're much too big for me but I like how they make my feet look haha :D

:(

The weather forecast makes me so sad :( fuck off hot weather!
In other news, I am in a Linguistics lecture right now and it's incredibly boring... Boohoooo

Weather

I hate this time of year! We had a few days of cold weather (although it was only 8-9 degrees at the least) a week or two ago, and now this week is back up into the mid-20s. For the whole week. I hate weather like this because it's not hot and it's not cold, the weather is just cloudy and gross, and you feel too hot to wear a jacket or tights. I looooove winter clothes and I have a heap in my wardrobe that I can't wear yet :( I want to wear huge jackets with big comfy socks and boots! According to the weather forecast, Sunday will be the only day that the temperature stays below 20... I want to fast-forward to winter. Here in Melbourne it gets pretty cold. Overnight the temperature can be 0 or below, and during the day I think the coldest I have ever experienced is 3 or 4 degrees. Not as cold as some countries, like Sweden or Finland... I would love it sooooo much if it snowed here! But sadly if I want to see snow, I have to travel to the mountains a few hours away :(
