I’m in Mildura for my mum’s birthday, and to hang out with my family for a bit.
It’s been so long since I’ve had something that resembles a break! :D Six days of not having to go to work… I don’t know what to do with myself. :)
Edit @ 10/04/07 1:55pm: I’m so bored already.
This morning I was sorting mentally through everything going on in my life, and everything going on with my family. And it did my head in. Consequentially, I’ve just submitted requests to my faculties at uni to take leave from my degree for the next 6 months (with assurances of approval.) I think the break will do me good. I feel so… free. I don’t think I’ve felt this content with a decision I’ve made in such a long time. Here’s to hoping it was the right one! :)
Being stressed totally screws with my immune system and it tends to stop me throwing off any illness or ailment I may have. I’ve been incredibly weary & frazzled lately. Most of it is due to some stuff going on at work getting a little crazy, but it’s all fixed now, well at least I’m pretty confident it is. :) Which means I can finally quit stressing and get to work on getting rid of the cold/sore throat I’ve been sporting for the last three weeks! I hate being sick.
I haven’t been feeling a hundred percent lately. I’ve got a sore throat, and can’t talk too well without it hurting, which sucks. Because I’m Nadine, and I like to talk. :(
I swore this year, I was going to be one of those model student type people. You know the people, the ones that always do all their assigned work and turn up to classes! I’ve been doing the whole turning up to classes thing, even though it’s killing me to get up so early every morning, however… even though I’m there… I’m so bad when it comes to taking decent notes in lectures! Especially at 9am. So I just bought an iTalk on eBay! It’s an attachment that allows me to record stuff to my iPod. If I record my lectures; I’ll be able to listen to them again when I’m a little more alert and can actually concentrate on the subject matter. It’s gotta beat me pouring through incomplete lecture scribble a few days before exams and having no idea what the hell I was actually making notes about! That and I like gadgets. University is such a good justification for such purchases. :)
Why do academic textbooks cost so much? There goes a nice big chunk of our savings…
I’m not too happy with the fact that despite my best efforts I’ve been unable to rearrange my university timetable to suit me. First I couldn’t do some of the subjects I really wanted to do because the timetable classed with the subjects I had to do. As well as that; I have to travel into the city for uni every day. On Tuesdays I have to come in for just one lecture; and on Mondays and Wednesdays not only do I have an hour long break, I have an additional two hour break.
I’m so bored already. Thank goodness for computer labs.
