BACK TO BLOGGING

So I've been a very unfaithful blogger and for that I apologise. I have been super busy lately and have had hardly any free time to do anything remotely enjoyable, such as blog! I have been flat out with uni assignments (I have handed in two and have another five to hand in within the next four weeks). I can't complain though because some of the assignment topics have been rather fun and interesting to research. Such as an assignment on the iSnack 2.0 campaign, a report on visitors to the Melbourne Zoo and I have an upcoming assignment on fandom (I think I will do it on Harry Potter)!! Did I ever mention I love my degree? Because I do ;)

The other reason I have been so busy is because I have been working so much. I like my job but I am getting suck of doing the same things every shift. I found out today I am being rostered on to work 2-7 EVERY Saturday and Sunday! Goodbye to my already non-existent social life!

Other exciting news is that my best friend Danielle is pregnant! So now I have both my best friend and my sister expecting babies, this year is getting more exciting each day. I am so excited to be an aunty, it is going to be amazing. Danielle is due approximately five weeks after Connie. August/September is going to be a crazy crazy time.

In other news my boyfriend and I are getting closer each day in saving enough money for a home loan deposit. I am so keen to move out, I am far too impatient. We are hoping to have enough money by August and then we will start looking for that perfect first home.

At the moment that's my life in a nutshell. This weekend, besides working, I plan on buying the New Moon DVD and watching it on repeat. Sad I know! Eclipse comes out in about 9 weeks. EXCITING!

I promise to blog more and I apologise for my lack thereof.

Love Monipops

P.S I'd like to say thank you to Frangipani Princess for passing on the blog award to me (I'll post a response asap) and I'd also like to congratulate her on her new role as teen mag reviewer on Girl With A Satchel ;)

WORST BANANA CAKE EVER

Today I thought I should do something constructive instead of spending my whole day watching Austar or in front of the computer screen. We had three over ripe bananas so I thought that baking a banana cake would be fun and well...easy! Turns out that I can't even bake a cake without royally stuffing it up.

I googled basic banana cake recipe and wrote down the ingredients and method. I'm not going to lie but I didn't use the correct measuring utensils but I don't think that would make a cake go so terribly wrong.

The cake has been in the oven for 30 minutes now. It hasn't risen. It has barely cooked. It is still all moist and gross. To be honest it looks like absolute crap.

I am trying to figure out where I went wrong. There was only like 8 ingredients but somehow I have messed it up. Now I won't be able to take a nice fresh piece of banana cake to work tonight.
I'm so angry!
