firstly lectures have kicked in full force now. i am still doin journalism but i also had to pick another course for 40 extra credits. and like the fool that i am i picked English literature....dont get me wrong i love the idea behind the course; its the practice that's killing me! not only do i ave to purchase books at ridiculous prices, i also have to read them at a super human pace while simultaneously criticising them, analysing them, and writing about them! in journalism we tend to just have a hellish amount of notes A LOT of reading material and very little time.
TIME! it seems to be flying by here. i feel like i waste my days and party away my nights. and when thts not the case i have a huge work load too! furthermore i have invincible deadlines to work towards which has undoubtedly left me in a bit of a panic...it isnt sounding glamorous is it guys?? well then dont even get me started on spending haha.
i have achieved something of value so far....today i handed in wat i class as my first published article :) believe me wen i say i will be keeping a clippin if it makes the paper. i signed up to write a very short article for the uni paper and i suddenly feel like an accomplished writer! i have been writing my little poetic anecdotes for wat feels like an eternity and suddenly this possibility of minor recognition has gotten me excited! i'll say no more ;)
so i think it would be the understatement of the century if i proclaimed now tht i am stressed but my stress levels are continuously rising L&Gs....
we've all done it (more or less :P) nite out. make a new 'friend', wake up, memory floods back, he/she was F-UGLY! but u'll never see them again rite?? its like coyote ugly without the one nite stand! OR IS IT! few weeks later u run into ur F-UGLY friend and if ur lucky u both jst walk rite by each other but either way.................UNIVERSAL CRINGE!
i must say its the worst thing ever whether u take note of each other. its the same feelin as remembering a particularly embarrassing childhood experience like...oh i dunno....peeing urslf in class! haha (i dont care wat u say IT WASNT ME!)
to be fair tho things could be far worse...
regardless of the work load i am enjoying both my courses which isnt always the case. and yes it is a struggle to remain awake in lectures at times but thts more a combination of cosy rooms and not enuff sleep :P
i have incredible flatmates who are helping me organise a birthday party....coming soon!
i have friends and family who i am in touch with constantly...maybe a tad too much for an independent gal?? :P
and i cant stop smiling a lot of the time...make of that what u will. :D
i leave u with one last ramble.....
u simply havent lived until u've been woken up by.....A 7:30 FIRE DRILL!!!!!
