television and stuff.

Wednesday night has become an even better night of television.

I was looking forward to seeing Lawrence Leung's Choose Your Own Adventure.

It really lived up to expectations, I was laughing the whole time.

I partially wish I had gone to see his show at the Fringe, but I'm also glad that I stayed at Frank's. Definitely had a good night. 

Although I'm still suffering from it, and it's Wednesday...

I'm going to miss him...

I've been avoiding uni this whole week due to intense tiredness... probably not a good thing. 

But on a positive note JBHIFI had My Sims for Wii for only $27!!

the moleskin: does that mean it's made out of moles?

Some day soon I'm planning on buying this. as in some day after Thursday, that may hopefully perhaps be known as Friday. 

I'm really enjoying my class The Short Story it's great to be given the chance to write around other people who don't really know what they're doing either. As soon as I saw the red moleskin notebook I knew that I had to have it. 

For someone who doesn't like the colour red, I sure have a real attraction to it... But I want to have a notebook that I will carry around with me everywhere, so that I can write down all the little things that come into my head: the scenes, the characters, the phrases, the lines.

I'm so glad I got over my fear about letting people know I wanted to be a writer. I've just always felt that if I actually let people know I'd have to instantly present them with all this proof about what a brilliant writer I am. The truth is I'm not a brilliant writer, I may never be, but if I don't at least give it a go then I know I'd constantly regret it.

So watch out you little red moleskin, after friday you will be subjected to my ever changing slightly appalling handwriting. 

Study.

Just back to what I said before about people saying that university wont get you a job.

There was a guy at work saying that there are lots of people who have double degrees who don't get jobs, and he was basically going on about what a waste of money it was.

I'm not doing a double degree so that it'll help further my career prospects. I'm doing it because I want to learn. I want to gain knowledge, whether it ends up being useful in my future career is beside the point. Three years is just such a short time, I'm not even sure if after the four years of my double degree I'll be finished. I may stay in university, I might do something at TAFE or I may go out and get a job. I'm not sure yet, but I'm not only at university to get a job, I'm there because I enjoy what I'm doing any I enjoy learning.

End of story.

Giraffe Necks and Other Things.

I'm yet to find out what this is from...

I've spent almost the whole day working on uni stuff. Doing readings and various other things. I just thought I would have so much more done by 3:00PM.

I have this assumption that if I actually do the work than uni will be incredibly easy, it is easier... but it still takes a lot of effort.

I've been scared once again by talk like "you wont be able to get a job once you're finished at university". I want to immerse myself so much more in the media world. I want to get more experience and volunteer for things. I want to get involved with things like On Dit, I want to start something of my own. I want to get experience so that when I do finish uni I know where I want to go and what I want to do. It's just currently it seems like time is just slipping away, I think of starting things but it seems like the end is too near for anything to eventuate.

I'm hoping that instead of this just leaving me stuck in a rut, it'll actually motivate me to do more and get more involved. I still have three years left, so I suppose I'll just have to see how things go.

Other than fears about where my life is going in the future, I've also got fresh worries about right now. One of the guys from work was saying how our boss is angry that us casuals can hardly ever work, and because of this he wants to hire a whole load of new people. I always get worried when I hear of things like this, especially in times like this when security in retail is a very uncertain thing. I'm sure it's just a rumor, but I can't help but get worried... despite the fact that there are only two days during the week when I'm not able to work.

Oh well. I'm sure it'll all work out.

the here and now.

first week back at uni is done and dusted.

currently i'm loving it, but i don't know how much longer that is going to last.

i'm also back at work tomorrow.

i really attempted to do uni work tonight. but it just didn't want to happen.

i kept trying to figure out what it was i was supposed to do.

i mean if lecturers want you to do work, why can't they explain it properly!

i did at least manage to finish off reading the legend of sleepy hollow, and i did some free writing. 

plus i changed the extra high lightbulb in the toilet today!

how many second year university students does it take to change a lightbulb.

i just searched on google how to change a lightbulb.

i cannot get the bulb out!
