Ack.
As I always like to say, life is full of ups and downs.
For today, the up was that I didn’t have to come into Uni until 4:15pm for String Class which usually runs until 6:15pm but rarely finishes at that time.
The down was that I missed getting my preferred tutorial time for my Musicology subject (Medieval and Early Modern Music) and decided to settle for a 9am session (I wanted 11am) on Monday. That still leaves me with 11am starts on Tuesday-Thursday, so I’m happy. Considering I’m not a consumer of caffeinated or energy drinks, I think that 9am start on Monday would be a good kick start to every week š
Anyway, that’s going to be something I’ll remember in the future: get in early to sign up for tutorials!
Oh, and of course, the Uni semester has started again. Nothing beats getting outside for a reason – I’ve spent most of my two month break cooped up at home doing odd jobs and playing games.
I also have a few different notetakers for my lectures (as opposed to last semester), but thank god they now have Live Remote Captioning for my Psychology lectures. For those who are unaware, I suffer from a hearing impairment and the Disability Liason Unit at the University offers services to disabled people to help them attend and take notes for lectures and such.
Not that I want to brag about having all my lectures captioned. Sure, that sounds pretty cool, but considering they do send the transcripts of each lecture to my email address, and consider this: five one hour lectures of captions PER WEEK. That’s a lot of work I’ll need to be consistently doing to keep up. I don’t mind the work, but I’m still a bit of a slacker at heart.
I do know one thing though, Semester 2 is going to be a lot busier than I initially thought it would be.
“Considering Iām not a consumer of caffeinated or energy drinks, I think that 9am start on Monday would be a good kick start to every week”
I beg to differ. This is only 50% true for me – I rarely drink coffee/tea/energy drinks; however, i’m not a morning person either so when Alloc8 miraculously assigned me with 3 late starts per week, I did not bother to change it my schedule.
Also, it’s nice to find someone eles who’s also “a slacker at heart”.
