I hope I continue getting 'My firsts...' as I get older -- remember those 'My first book, my first word', etc? Well those, the good and the bad but mainly the good. Hahaha.
It's only Week 3? It feels like I've been there forever! Nothing much
has changed since the last post so I'll be brief about that topic:
- still struggling with the workload
- haven't even opened the 3 textbooks that I bought
- been skipping my lectures or arriving 1/2 hr late to them. Eeekk!
- forgotten my fone again and on that day I get calls and msgs. The days that I don't -- nothing!
- been getting cravings for fast food and shamelessly been satisfying them
- been sleeping heaps!
I don't have many breaks (if any) during the week and so I haven't been to mac centre - to me, it's so far - because I was hoping to get a few things and check out a new store -- Kikki-K (www.kikki-k.com.au)! It's a stationery store similar to Smiggle but I think it's heaps better (professional looking but more expensive). It's awesome in there although I'm a bit biased because I LOVE stationery! Their designs are simplistic but effective and appealing at the same time. Next b'day coming up, expect a pressie from there! Hrm, why am I advertising them?
Anyhow, I've finally gotten a diary so maybe I'll be more organised now. Maybe.. I still need to get a lot more other stuff but I'm broke at the moment.
And the social scene? I'm gonna try and make the effort to catch up with people. I haven't seen Leanne or Jamie in a while -- Leanne especially! Where the hell is my tour? Hahahaa. It's terrible. The moment I get to usyd, it's straight to Carslaw and then Anderson. I haven't had the chance to go exploring yet (mainly because I'm cramming for their weekly tests)!
I forgot to mention in my last post. My neighbour got a puppy. I remember getting woken up by its 'yapping' and thinking did we get a dog? rofL! I've never lived with neighbours with pets before: it's not too bad, you hear the occasional 'yapping'. I want a dog!
Ok, enough of me!
I was hoping to blog about my first week of uni on the weekend but I didn't get around to it. Now it's a whole blur to me, I'm terrible. The Sunday before uni started, we had lunch and dinner at aunt's. I couldn't stay for dinner because I had work but I still managed a few games of bingo afterwards. God, I love playing it on new years. Everyone gambles, the males with 13 and the kids (and moms helping) with bingo. It was 20c a game. Any higher and none of us could afford it! It's a tradition to play on that day but aunt said we can play at Easter because we didn't play that many games.
I had an awful week at uni. At least I think (I think) I did. I can't remember. I thought practicals and tutes weren't on but I'm so glad that I decided to wear runners instead of thongs. Otherwise, I would have been allowed inside the labs! Most of my classes are packed especially chiro -- there's 50-60 of us! I'm slowly getting used to my 7 and 9 hour straight uni days; I'm eating my lunch during the lectures. I've still got to buy snacks as well. Speaking of which, I've only bought 3 books and they've already cost me an arm and a leg -- literally. They were so heavy that I developed this rash! I don't know why but travelling makes me so tired. It's not like I'm doing anything strenuous but I head straight to bed when I get home.
You can't imagine how glad I was when Friday came! Although I put off my homework for the weekend, I find I never get it done because other things that occupy my time like the weekly chores, grocery shopping -- things that are done during the weekend. Dad drove me to work one day and asked me how I was gonna balance everything on my plate, when I was gonna do my homework. I said that I'll be fine and that I'd do it that night. Funnily enough by the time I got home, I was so tired, I fell asleep. I didn't even touch my homework that weekend. Every week, we're getting continuous exams, which is a good and bad thing. The bad being that you can't put it off and not study.
I've become forgetful as well. This week alone, I've forgotten to bring my fone, wallet and gloves to uni. Yep, you heard right. I forgot my wallet. I'm glad I have such lovely friends that offered to buy me lunch and drove me to the station! One of them has a birthday coming up and I have no clue as to what to get her. I'm thinking of getting her a DVD but I'm not sure if she's already gotten it. I don't want to ask her without being suss.
And today? This morning I got a call asking if I could work today. Being the idiot that I am, I said yes. So in order to make it in time, I had to leave my tute early but public transport is very unreliable that I ended up being late to work even though I got changed in the car. Mom gave me a I-raised-you-with-manners-so-use-them-once-in-a-while look. But in all seriousness never again! I will try to say no when I really can't make it! So here I am, 1 in the morning and I've yet to do my homework and have a shower.
