It might sound strange, but suddenly 6 more weeks of holidays doesn't seem so good anymore. I don't think I can take another 6 weeks consisting of nights like tonight which involve doing nothing at all.
Ironic though that it was only a couple of weeks back I was dying to get away from uni.
We are such fickle creatures.

Chin up
Chin up. Chin up!
Even when the going gets tough, try to find the humour in everything despite the fact that it may seem to be beyond you. It will actually make things that much better.

On an unrelated note, my civil lecturer is so angry! She raged at some people that were talking in the lecture I was watching tonight. She also has no sense of time because she always goes overtime - so much so that lectopia even cut off before she finished.

"It would be so nice if something made sense for a change."
Something I found somewhere and I rather agree with it, especially with maths. I tried to study for maths tonight but didn't end up getting very much done. I am so confused. In hindsight, perhaps I should have cut out all that procrastination and tried to take the day off work on saturday so I wouldn't be feeling so stressed right now...or awake at 3 again.
Monday is going to be so much fun.

Tick Tock
A recurring topic in my previous posts, but I need more time. I realised just how little time I actually have to get up to date with everything. Tuesday is looking way too close for my liking.
Sigh. I miss the joy of having the time to just not do anything but whittle away your time mindlessly.

To do...
I've taken a liking to making lists lately. It somehow gives me the (false) feeling that I'm on top of everything that needs to be done. So...
- Civil: do assignment 8 and tutes 17-20
- Maths: watch and make notes for the last 4 lectures and do the problem sets and workshops for the last two weeks
- Micro: make notes for the last two lectures and start the 1500 word essay
- Itf: do study plan for chapter 6 and 7, do chapter 7 test and start the group assignment
- Mech: (hopefully) build device A and B by sunday so we can do test runs and not fail like last time.

Depressing day
It's been a depressing day today. Completely botched the warman trial 2 and ended up with a fail score. If only all those levels of stress and hours of sleep lost the night before actually translated to something worthwhile. *sigh* better luck next time I guess.
P.S. Just think of MA. It'll cheer you up.

Insomnia
This might seem a funny way to notice a thing like this, but I noticed tonight that what you want but can't get is a lot more appealing compared to the same thing that you want but can get. (if that makes any sense)
Over the past couple of weeks I've been dying to get some more sleep, but because I've had a ton of work to do every night, I could never get more than about 6 hours sleep and was really looking forward to sleeping early in the study break. Here I am now though, awake at 3 in the morning and I'm actually finding that I don't feel like sleeping at all. What seemed so appealing to me before has now lost all its appeal.
Perhaps I should really be sleeping though; I'm not really sure what point it is I wanted to make in this post.

Busy busy
It's been awhile again since I last blogged and I have to say I have been flat out trying to fit everything into such a small amount of time. There just isn't enough time in one day to do everything that I have to do and find time to procrastinate and sleep well. I seem to have a never-ending pile of uni work to do, work work, tutoring (and I just got myself another student tonight which might not have been the best idea but hey its another student, yay!) and housework.
On top of all that, there is my dad's stuff that I have to worry about and as if this wasn't enough, there was a freak hail storm on monday that left me with a cracked windscreen, heaps of dents on my car, flooding in my house so now the carpet and ceiling is water damaged and a ton of phone calls to insurance to get everything sorted.
Thankfully, I've managed to get all that sorted out, though I've had (and will need) to skip uni to wait for the people to come and have a look. sigh. all that catching up to do. If only I could somehow split myself into two. Strangely though, I'm just taking it all in even though I feel stressed physically. and I guess it's a good learning experience too, though I'll be glad when I can pass the reins back to my parents when they come back, which can't be soon enough.

Back at uni
Uni started again today and to be honest, overall it was pretty boring really. I came in at 1 and left around 4 (thank god the 2 hr lecture finished early) so I didn't really get to see many people. In between I was struggling to concentrate and stay awake in the lectures and I think I'm gonna dread the many 2 hour lectures and tutes that I have. That's not to say though that my timetable is bad - far from it. I have 3 packed days that go from 8-4/9-5 but I have a day off on wednesday and I finish at 11 on friday. Not bad considering that I'm overloading this semester.
And just to round it off, I want to give a BIG BIG thank you to Kim for giving me her parking permit to use. No more mixing buses and uni ever!

Results
This is going to be the first of two posts for today.
I just checked my results and I ended up with a D. I know I shouldn't really be complaining because overall my results were great but I do have high expectations of myself and I was aiming for all HDs through my whole degree. The "streak" has gone now and I am sorta annoyed. I suppose I have no one to blame but me and my declining study habits last semester though the unit was a real bitch to do because it was all memorising.
Nothing I can really do now I guess, except to pick up my study habits again next semester. I decided to overload so hopefully that might induce me to do more work and study harder. Hopefully.
