See you on the other side..

Uni week 7

Seven weeks in, and I’m feeling pretty good! Yesterday I finished my Chinese tutorial at 12 and went right to the library to continue working on my 3000 word victimology ’short essay’. I worked about non stop until 4:45PM. And it was all solid work too *is proud*

It’s a bit of the rort, 3000 words is hardly short, nor is it appropriate for a second year course. I am feeling a bit ripped off now considering I should’ve did this course last year, but I didn’t because “I didn’t wanna be stuck at uni on a Friday afternoon”. Well, someone up there has blessed me with Friday afternoon classes ever since, and has made this current course even harder since the departure of another teacher last year (who was a complete pushover). GAH! indeed.

This morning I’m at uni as Erin has agreed to help me out with my statistics assignment. I wish I listened to my high school maths teacher when she said ‘No matter what you do; you will HAVE to do some sort of statistics at uni, so listen up!’ instead of scoffing in her face and going ‘Yeah right’. Man, she was right. I should write to her and tell her so.

So anyways, I’m waiting for Erin right now, and writing a long overdue blog about my rantings, ravings, opinions and utterly boring life. Actually, I’m rather chuffed with myself, yesterday was a real challenge, but I sat down and chowed down some concrete and got 90% of it done. I’m not stressed at all. The essay is due tomorrow and I’m finding myself relatively calm and collected.. about uni work anyways.

I now own a guitar! It’s cotton candy pink and is 3/4 size! I haven’t had a chance to have a jam yet (see above for reasons), but soon. All I gotta do is just teach myself and it shall be awesome. I mean, I shall be awesome too! I’ll post some pics when I get home if I can be bothered, but I also need a stand, some non gay picks and also need to desperately clean my room. I’ve sort of neglected it since I’ve become busy, which is an absolute bummer since I cannot STAND mess and I must be exceedingly busy if I can afford to ignore it for a couple of weeks.

The smart card I’ve been so religiously using, is the bane of my existence now. It’s ripped me off several trips, online top ups take a week to process and bus drivers don’t even know how to operate the very system they run on! It’s ridiculous and I’ve half a mind to make a complaint (actually, I will be calling them up later in the day to get my refunds).

Edit @ 1322: Erin showed up! She’s just gone now and I’m back in the library. We actually managed to finish off the whole statistics assignment, and it’s not even due until Monday *is proud*. I had another sausage roll for lunch today. That’s my third one in three days. I’m pretty disgusted.

I haven’t seen my friends much at all. Everyone is so busy with other things and other people, time is a bit of a luxury these days. KP’s schedule is completely scrambled that I don’t even know what’s on when now, so we haven’t had a chance to hang out since le BBQ (where I caught a cold and got sick, and still am). Oh well. I don’t think I want to talk about her anymore. Things are different and I’m sad.

Erin is finally going to move out of home already! Yay! I wish I could move out with her; but I’ve got things too good at home right now, and I’d miss my doggies too much :( Back down to earth and uni work for me!
