Hey Ya’ll
So someone asked me the other day how often I will post, to
be honest I don’t really know and I don’t want to make promises that I cannot
keep – especially with uni, work and just life which is busy!
Umm did anyone see/feel/experience the crazy and
ridiccccuuulous winds today, I had my lecturer today stop in the middle of the
lecture and lab just to tell us that the winds were between 60-100km/ph. Good
one mate. The winds were so strong I literally got blown away from the path. I
was walking from my car to the uni block building and was just casually walking
along the path and it was just a bit windy so my hair was all in my face and
all that jazz and then suddenly there was a HUGE gust of wind and I mean
HUGEEEE wind wave which came through and just blew me right off course and
after a second I thought, yep sure that’ll go past but nope 5 seconds later I
was still trying to fight the wind sideways and get back on the path, from
behind I probably looked pretty drunk. A bit like so…
I think this illustrates leaning vs wind very well. But for
small/short people like me with heavy bags it’s pretty hard to stay put when
the wind is that strong. I was definitely leaning a whole lot! *Sigh*
Speaking of leaning/falling – had prac class the other day
and we were doing athletics and it was just a warm up game we had to tag our
partners in a designated activity area. Anyway I was running one way and
someone else was running toward me but we were both kind of sideways, him being
tall me being short, I was crouching a bit to quickly run away from my partner
while this guy who was running toward me was trying to dodge his by going
behind me. He clearly didn’t dodge well enough because his shoulder or hip went
straight into my head and I fell.
It wasn’t a normal fall or a slow fall it was an instant ‘plank’
fall I got hit and my whole body just shut down and froze and I fell to the
ground flat but on my side. Just like this poor kid except there was no carpet to protect me. Must say I was quite dizzy from that.
So far it’s all been disadvantages of me being small but
here’s an advantage, you know those amazingly warm Kathmandu duck down jackets –
yes well I have wanted one for about 5 years now! Went shopping the other day
and they were on sale! I was about to buy a normal one which was about $140
down from $300 which is a pretty good deal but I walked further on in the shop
and found the kids section – thought I’d have a peer over just to check it out
and what do you know there is a kids black duck down jacket on sale! $99!!!!
BOOM! Took that one straight away – fits me perfectly and I save myself some
mulla! Take that normal sized people!! ;)
Special mention to these girls! – Number 1: They used to
always lift me like so haha!!
