Neuroscience this semester, if not the death of me, will surely send me crazy! Soooo many words I don’t understand, EVERY class.

will be better.
not that last semester was bad. I was organised, got everything in on time, wasn’t nearly as stressed as last year. And yet I wasn’t happy when my results came out. Although I think that’s more to do with my general mood the last month. Bf is leaving for OS. I’ve been stressed at home with Dad. Very worried about one of my friends who has been sick lately. I could go on…

Point is my marks could’ve been better, and so could have my attitude about them. I’ll be working more this semster cuz I need the money so I need to be on the ball.
I am going into this semester enthusiastic though, I’m doing subjects I’m really going to love. Yay! 5 years ago

with a HD in my report for psycholinguistics (worth 30%). That’s huge. And it’s the subject I love and really want to do well in. This was just what I needed to convince me that I can learn EVERYTHING for the exam. I’ve got 4 weeks.
I’d love a D in this subject (HD would be out of this world but i’m not going to count on that happening :P)
I have resigned myself to only being able to pull credits in psych but maybe this subject will be a bit differetn!

In the mean time I have my stats group project to work on (it’s huge, and we’re having enough trouble just finding times in common to meet up). Madrigaks concert is next thursday night (also my dad’s birthday) so we have regular rehearsal tues and dress rehearsal on wed.
I have 3 performances of the musical on this weekend plus there’s an orchstra concert I want to go to on sunday. Dammit and it’s second last week of semester so things are busy busy busy. I love it though, I’m tired but being motivated gets me outa bed in the mornings.
Oh and next friday my bf graduates from his B Sci(Adv)(Hons)! So proud of him. So that’ll be somehting to look forward too..

Aargh and I nearly forgot, a restaurant where I applied for work a few months back want me to come in for a trial tomoro except now i have to meet for my group project, then I’m pretty much not free for the next 2 weeks so if they want me they’ll just have to wait until uni is over.

LOL my life is crazy. off to class again now. 5 years ago

enter week 6 of semester.

->assignments are due.
->rehearsals for pirates of penzance orchestra start may 12th.
->i’m on italian camp next weekend.
->i start my volunteer job at the school for hearing imparied children next friday.
->my article for the italian society newspaper is deadlined for tomorrow.
->still looking for a job (got one but they wanted sat mornings as well and i had said no to that all along because that’s when i have my violin lessons.)
->and… there’s some really great movies coming out over the next few weeks (shrek 3, spiderman 3 off the top of my head) so i need to make some time to catch up with my best friend.
->I think my bf was a bit upset that i told him i couldn’t see him this weekend (i prioritised my psych report over him and now i’m sitting here procrastinating instead of actually writing the damn thing!)

yes, i remember this feeling well. the one where i can’t stop writing lists of things to do in order to get my head around it all. but hey, it gets me out of bed in the morning.

i’m reading harry potter (with my bf cuz i just bought him a copy of the 4th one). trying to get a chapter or 2 a night before i sleep. just to keep some balance – some ‘me’ time.

We’ll get there.

urgh! so much procrastination!
I seem to work better when I have so many activities on I have no spare time left – when i have flexibility in my schedule it’s so easy just to do nothing… 6 years ago

unfortunately the prerequisite for this subject is SLEEP101 and i still haven’t wrapped my head around the fact that if one wants to take on the world – one needs to go to bed before midnight…
I’m such a disaster on any less than 8 hours of sleep. It’s a little early in semester to be having days of haze and confusion and pounding heads as i did today. I’ll have to put a stop to that. 6 years ago

I’ve started back at uni this week, after my 4 month lazy summer! :P
It’s going to be a busy one, i’m taking great subjects that i enjoy but that means I’m going to want to do well in them.

Then of course there’s the whole balancing uni, friends, bf, stress, travelling time, orchestra, family, maintaining my italian even thought i’m not studying it this year, choir, plus everything else random that comes up. Oooh and I’m looking for a new job a few days a week.
I’m still at a quandry – at the moment I travel an hour and a half to get to uni in the city and readily getting sick of it, but if i moved to live in glebe or newtown i’m sure i’d never get any work done… maybe next year i’ll come to a decision.

Stronger back… OK, I can do this! 6 years ago
