snippets from my thought processes

I have created a new journal called mstumusings for my media studies subject. Basically we have to have a journal/blog/myspace so we can post each week about music/music culture/music subculture related things. If you're into that kind of thing, it could be remotely interesting. If not, don't bother reading it.

I will not be offended if all of you don't flock to friend it; I guarantee alot of it will be boring. But please feel free to read and comment on my posts - I'd really appreciate it because it'll probably impress my lecturer and help me learn more! So feel free to read/comment/ignore. Whatever.

We bought a table! It's pine, with six chairs, and it's one of those extender-tables where you pull it out and the middle comes up to make it longer. We scored it for $60 at a garage sale the parents-in-law's church was having. Mind you, we had to be up at 4:30am to be there by 5:30am to get it, but it was worth it. It's in great condition; just a few scratches to the top and the legs. And it fits nicely in our kitchen because it's smaller (unextended) than the table we had there which was originally donated by my parents. So yay.

Other than that, not alot has been happening. Uni starts in three weeks. Three weeks until the start of my last year of my arts degree. YAY. I then have next year, which is the prac year for education and then I GRADUATE. OH MY. So yes. Two whole years to go YAY.

*yawns* I need to start sleeping better. Meh. Hmm. I wonder if I have time to nap before work...

Boooorrreeeddd.....

I really am not in the mood to do this essay. Someone distract me.

I think I might have a sleep later. Hmm. Didn't get to bed until after 11, and was woken up at about 6am by the people next door banging things loudly. *sighs*

VMars isn't on tonight, according to the TV Guide. *grumps* And I was looking forward to it. *sighs* Stupid C10.

On the upside, I've finished my essay. YAY. Now I just have to format it and do the references, and it's all done. Until the husband points out the stupid mistakes I've made, and I rewrite it. But that will be tomorrow.

I shall watch more of Midsomer Murders, and then off to bed. SLEEP.

OMG IT'S DONE.

I have just finished formatting the proposal for the Vanuatu Cervical Cancer Prevention Scheme for my boss. All 50 pages. It's only taken me 2 hours. *sighs*

This also means I got no Uni work done. *freaks*

Bed now. Stress tomorrow.

I scored a 512MB USB key last night from my father in law. I was telling my mother in law how I lost my pretty formatted/referenced version of my essay, and he brought out this USB key he'd scored from Ford. He organises the company cars for the whole of Queensland through them, so they do nice things like give him stuff and taking him racing, etc. He already has about 3, so he gave me this one, just in case the other one was about to die. Husband should be happy now; he can have his USB key back. ;)

Finished work early today because one of the specialists decided not to rock up without telling us, which meant we had too many staff on. It was too late to call the new girl (who is going to be an ex-employee very soon), so I left 2 hours early. It's good because now I can finish going through my essay and print it out before the lecture. Yay.

I think I'm just going to head home after classes today instead of staying back and going straight to homegroup. I'm pretty wrecked - I've only had about 6 hours sleep two nights in a row, and I slept really badly last night. I was going to stay behind and work on my other essays, but there's really nothing here for me, except to save time by removing 40 minutes of travel time. I don't think I'm *that* desperate yet. Besides, it'll be nice to actually arrive at homegroup in a car. And not have to have Macca's for dinner.

Dammit, I still have to go to lectures. It feels like the afternoon already. Maybe I'll skip the tute...but he knows I'm here and it's a small class and I'd feel bad...

Hmmm. Should actually get some work done.

This is driving me insane.

We're supposed to use around 12 sources for our Education assignment. Easy done. The catch? They have to be no older than 2002, and 6 have to be books.

The library doesn't have a single book on visual impairment or blindness (the topic I've chosen) that was published in 2002 or later.

How am I supposed to do this?

Exam was insanely easy. I know I got 9 marks, and I should get at least another 3, so out of a total of 15, I'm happy. Considering I did the least amount of study I have ever done for an exam. YAY.

I really have to finish this assignment, but it's not going very fast, dammit. *sighs* It's an interesting assignment, but there are many other things in this world that are far more interesting. I had hoped that by holing myself up in the library I would get some work done, but...well, I have a wireless internet connection. Need I say more?

Am meeting friends for lunch at 1pm, so that'll be fun.

*sighs* Sleepy.

Yes, have been mildly busy.

Had church camp on the weekend, which was awesome. And we're going away this weekend. So excited. Cannot WAIT.

English exam tomorrow. Shouldn't be too hard, considering it's only 30 minutes, but I'll still study a bit in the morning. Then it's finishing my Education assignment, and hopefully handing that in. Otherwise I'll have to rock in at Uni on Friday, which is going to be a pain.

Scored 4/5 for my history outline, and 8/10 for the select bibliography, so I'm happy. Oh, and a 6 (Distinction) for the education assignment that ate my brain. I'll just be happy to pass this semester, to be honest. Doing well is a bonus that makes me happy.

Mum's birthday today, but we're having a dinner tomorrow night because they're out.

Tired.

No one is online to talk to me.

C'mon, people! I'm in the middle of my history essay, and I need some serious distracting here!
