Barkins dress from my friend Sarah-Jane, Rubi shoes, Target coat, Colette earrings 

This outfit choice was completely unintentional, but I managed to dress appropriately for the 'State of Origin' game that's going on tonight. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept, State of Origin is kinda a big deal in Australia; it involves Queensland (the maroon players) and New South Wales (the blue players) going head-to-head in a set of three football games. I'm not exactly the most STATE-triotic girl around because I was completely unaware that it was even happening until I went to school and people were a bit excited... I usually only watch the games because there's so many spunky young men in the teams (Billy Slater is a stunning creature). I did my part though! I wore a maroon/berry coloured dress on my blog! 

Anyway, hi! It's been about five days since my last post. Time really seems to fly when I do stuff and go places. I've been very moody and angry with the world lately. School work (note: school WORK... thank goodness for friends or I would be a mess) has stomped me into the gutter. I've been so unmotivated with it over the last few days... I just can't seem to find the energy to do anything academic and it's not good, especially since this is senior year. I have lots of things on my social agenda to look forward to though and I guess I'll use those as motivation. I did want to update you all on what I did at the weekend! My family and I went down to Brisbane on Saturday and stayed the night to shop a little, see some friends and also to take a tour of the St. Lucia UQ campus. It was really lovely to look at the environment that will probably be my home next year. 

I have to do English homework now... I am a little behind on some of it and I can't write a VHA standard essay on a book I haven't finished (thanks a lot to the rats in my English class that snitched on me - they know who they are!). 

I hope you are all having a nice week so far - Friday is so close! xo

I love those earrings! I recently got my ears pierced solely so I can wear gorgeous "dangly" earrings like those. I feel you on the football too, it wasn't until I saw a few bits and pieces on social media today that I realised the origin is... well... TODAY. Go QLD, hoorah hoorah and all that.

The St Lucia campus is lovely too, I briefly attended UQ (QUT before that) before I postponed my University studies. They're both great but St Lucia is so much more pleasing to look at than other campuses!

Liking the State of Origin nod hehe. I have no interest in that sport whatsoever but that's where my parents both are tonight. I know at least one of them is decked out in maroon and no I won't be tuning in.

Keep your head up! I'm not very motivated right now either but we got this. I'm guessing it'll be holidays again soon for you before you know it!

What a pretty outfit (and coincidence -- rooting for your state and all!)
Good luck with all your schoolwork.
