About Me

'I guess that's just the way it be, is it the world, or how I see me.'That is a highly appropriate quote from John Butler Trio. Actually the whole song is good, its called Good Excuses. Check it out. Anyway I am Lauren. I am a Coles Check-out chick with a Bachelor of Science in Conservation Biology and Ecotourism. I also do a lot of volunteer work with a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre and therefore am also studying vet nursing part-time, just to increase my chances of being employed somewhere that isn't Coles! I'm a little bit 'quiet' and I often have different priorities to others. I'm not a 'party person', and I don't drink or smoke. But each to their own, and I'm living my life my way :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Oh my God I can't believe it, I've never been this far away from home

Actually, that's a lie, I've been much, much further away from home. But never for this long! More than 2 months! I finally started my casual check-out job at Bunnings to get some money...
