An update, on nothing important.
So, yup, there’s about a month to go until the exams. This is a little worrying, since I have missed an awful lot of lectures – either by not attending physically, or by not attending mentally. Obviously the best plan of attack for this situation is to sit down with a bag of miscellaneously flavoured Jelly Bellys, whilst listening to Muse and writing a blog about doing so.
Motivation is a little hard to come by when you’re not sure that you’re heading in the right career direction/living with the right people/making the best decisions in your personal life, etc. Which is a shame, I think I’d be enjoying my course a whole load more if everything outside my course could tie itself together a little more nicely. I guess if it’s not one thing, it’s another entirely.
ANYWHO.
So, I noticed today that OH MY GOD THE HOTTEST GUY WAS ON THE TRAM I mean, uh, we have to pick our subjects for next year soonish. Huh. What to pick, what to pick. I have a vague idea of what I should be picking if I want to get into dentistry eventually, but I also know that I’m a damn lazy student and I would rather do something I’d enjoy. BUT WHAT DO I ENJOY?!
My Magic 8-Ball says “Try Again.” Thanks a bucket-load, piece of trash *mumble mumble*…
Next year I will possibly be moving out of my gran’s home where I am currently living, with one of my best friends and her awesome boyfriend, on the opposite side of Melbourne to my current home. That will be interesting if it happens. Strangely I’m looking forward to that more than the holidays this year. ADVENTURE, dammit! Possibly should get a job for over the holidays, while I’m thinking about it. I wonder what it’s like to have… Money…?
In other news, I have already bought my student union membership for next year. Early bird special, $20 off, plus a subscription to The Age for all year for an extra dollar. Yes please! Being a student union member is totally worth it. (Even if only for the Rowden White library. And the discounts. And the shiny sticker on your student card.) It feels like only yesterday I bought my student membership for this year. I’m serious, I remember it in perfect detail. It’s kinda freaking me out a little bit. Where’d the time go…
And before I start complaining about life the universe and everything, let’s end on something we can all relate to.
ALLIE BROSH LOVE! Oh, she’s got to be the best blogger EVER. Have you seen the ‘Alot’ post?
I have NO idea how they managed to make the Age doodah so obscenely cheap, I made the poor Union woman explain it to me about ten times while I went “So it’s a dollar… every day? …Every week? Eh” “No! A dollar full stop!” “…?”
The future is scary. Don’t look at it, you’ll burn your eyes.
hey, while I was getting my union membership for next year (shiny RED sticker!), I noticed a signed on the union house student info centre desk advertising jobs if you are interested in helping out at the graduation ceremonies throughout December. I don’t think I’ll be around, but maybe you might want to check it out?
And yes! I remember buying my membership quite distinctly as well. $99, it was the most amount of money I’d spent on one thing (until I bought my harp that is). AND I also spent $30 on an age subscription. So I suddenly feel $50 richer… while being $80 poorer at the same time!
I love the ALOT post! It keeps me sane around the plebs…
The Age deal makes me happy in the pants. The Union girly goes to me –
– Oh, did you want an Age subscription for an extra dollar?
and I kinda flipped out mentally a little. “I’m sorry? As in, one dollar? Gee I, I, uh, yes please!”
I love my shiny red sticker! I’m pretty sure I’d pay that $79 just to use the Rowdy. Pretty sure I’m there once a day, at least…
Wow, thanks Jinghan! That would actually be a very good opportunity for me, I’ll have to look into it properly. Thank-you very much, once again! 😀
Yes the Rowden, and the microwaves seem to be my excuse for spending so much much on a union membership. I haven’t been to the Rowden as much this Semester, since my timetable does not have as much floof time, but I wonder if I’ve ever walked past you in the Rowden without knowing that it’s you …
