Ahh, procrastination

Its my 2nd last week of uni, and my day off. I have approx. 8000 words to write and one exam to do before next Friday. I am yet to start any of it. Instead, I am procrastinating.

For example, today I have so far changed sheets, washed dishes, tidied, moved linen to a new drawer, made a shopping list, made some phone calls, wiped down the outside of the kitchen cupboards, spent some quality time on facebook, emailed some people, read some book, and finally, in desparation, tried to pour the beans out of the bean bag into a box, so i can wash the cover, cos the bunny weed on it. Do you know how hard that is!!?? TOO hard.

So now I am wondering- is it ok to watch a movie whilst studying? Will anything sink in? Does it matter? Can I eat a massive bag of maltesers? Does the study cancel out the calories? Should I go into the city to buy/borrow the textbook I need for the exam today, or leave it til next week?
Also, a few weeks ago we recieved a comment asking for help. Anonymous (i'm guessing not her real name) wants shoe shops and strong bobby pins. I havent posted about it yet as I was waiting for inspiration and some helpful advice from friends, and then forgot, and then miraculously came across some helpful info from friends, and remembered! So here it is:

Bobby pins are tricky. You can buy hairdresser-strength ones in massive containers from Hairhouse Warehouse or Petra, I am not sure how strong these are. Best to ask the "hairdressers" who work there. But you can get lots, and in many sizes including HUGE.

Otherwise try an actual hairdresser, or a smaller shop/salon. Theres one in Clarendon St Sth Melbourne, near Park St, if that is close to you.

For shoes, our favourite is Zomp (in the city, preferably). Obviously it depends on budgetary allowances, but David Jones have seriously stepped up lately and have TONS of hot shoes. If you are desperate try Myer in the city but its more pain than its worth. If you want classic Zomp usually have some stunning shoes for less than $200. As well as some extremely stunning shoes for more than that!

You hopefully will find black peep toes almost anywhere, the gold ones might be harder.... and here is where I run out of steam. I am not really a "shoe girl" but instead just wander the streets aimlessly until shoes find me... which is more often than not at Zomp. They often have sales. I tend to avoid things like Nine West (except for the amazing silver sneakers which I own and LOVE) and Zu etc, because I like my shoes either comfy and happy for work or crazy and extravagant for play, but they might have some gold shoes- specially leading up to spring racing. I also frequent Payless Shoes on Elizabeth St, for "trendy" pairs- they cost almost nothing and wear out at about the same time you get sick of wearing them. Perfect.

Does that help? Do any readers have any better ideas? If you let us know, we can put them in our shop link list so everyone can play.

So now its back to the facebo- I mean study. If I dont post for a while its because I have had a massive, last minute panic attack and am desperately trying to work out how to do the least amount of work and still pass.
