A couple of things......

1. Stop having these crazy ideas that seem so good at the time and then once you've actually thought about them realised that in hindsight, perhaps not the best idea. If you want money work for it. Save for it. Sacrifice and stop spending. Do some hard work to get the end result.

ACTION: cancel bank appointment for Thursday

2. I'm not entirely comfortable, in fact I'm not at all comfortable in people I don't really know learning personal information about me through a third party. I don't expect you to understand WHY I'm like this, just that I'm like this. So please don't tell people about what I do in my personal life. If I want them to know I'll tell them. Otherwise shhhhhh. I really don't want everyone knowing what I'm learning. It's for me. Not everyone else and only a few people know anyway. There's a reason for that. Thanks.

3. I'm extremely excited about starting Uni.

4. Yes I'm a complete CONTRADICTION (see 2. followed by number 3. and then re-read 2. again).

5. I'm having a night off. I'm going to watch an ep or two of Sons of Anarchy season 2. Yeah baby.

Surprisingly I had a pretty good day today. Surprisingly, because:

a) It's Monday and I loathe Mondays

b) I was at work and I loathe work (not always, just most of the time)

I feel it is a tad loserish to be slightly champing at the bit to start studying. So much so that I'm dreaming up asking work if I can have one day off a fortnight to study and I just don't get paid for it...... yes yes, I'm good at dreaming these things up. No seriously, one subject says the minimum reading is 12 hours PER WEEK. Are you kidding me??? So two subjects means 24 HOURS!!!

Spread over a week that's FOUR HOURS A NIGHT! I'm not even up for 4 hours a night after I get home. Well, usually I am but you know I've fitted in a shower and usually dinner by 9/930pm. EEEEEPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess I will be giving up my social life. I never really thought I was a 'social' person or that busy but I guess I really am. This week the only night I'm home without going out first is Thursday. March is so busy already I'm booked every weekend. I am looking forward to my course though. I'm already enjoying the readings and learning. I've already set my goal to attain distinctions. I mean really, trying to grade between 75%-84% isn't that high a goal... is it?

I have my revision class for my photography tomorrow night. I'm so "thrilled" that only 2 out of what 8 or 9 people are attending tomorrow. Rather disappointed by that. I wanted to check out other peoples work too. Oh well.

It's starting to get darker earlier now. The sun is setting at least 1/2 hour earlier now. I feel with these slightly fresh mornings that autumn is already setting in. Two years ago winter started setting in April. Last year it lasted FOREVER. I feel that is the way the earth is turning. Towards the cold. If it's going to be like that, then fine, I accept it, but just let me know in advance please.

I'm in the processing of writing a letter and in the process of doing so I have the tv on. For noise. Or a distraction.....

On the tv is True Grit the John Wayne movie. It's great!! I'm rather enjoying it. It's a shame really good old movies have to be remade into the modern era. You can't beat the old stuff.

The scenery is just beautiful too. Oh it makes me want to go camping by a pristine river with the mountains in the background. A little crisp air would be fine on a sunny day.

I'm now sick. That'll learn me for having a boozy night. Probably just a cold but still... I don't need you nor do I want you. Hence forth be banished you wreteched sickness!

So many things I want to be doing right now.

Reading my book.

Sleeping outside on the couch in the warmth.

Reading my Uni materials.

Eating.

So many things I should be doing right now -

Mowing the front and back lawn

Cleaning the house

Finishing applications

Eating

Finishing my Folio

A little drunkened... I'm not completely boring like some people think.... I just don't have the opp to get wasted more because I can't afford a $50 one way cab fare.

Today was good. I was less of an asshole at work.

I had my first # appt. It was good. Nothing I didnt really already know or had come to realize myself but it was still worthwhile. I don't want to walk away. I don't want to give you up. I want to be able to leArn to not invest so much emotionally.

Looking forward to each new day as it presents itself.

Finally got to print off some material for one of my uni subjects. I can't wait to get stuck into it.

Hmmmm maybe that's all for today I need to sleep. I'meant to do stuff tomorrow (today) and in order to do that I need lots of zzzzz


I have The Who singing in my head.

The next 6 weeks are going to be tough financially. I have no idea where my pay has gone but it's ALL gone. My road trip cost way way more than I was expecting. But hey, it needed to be done and I'll just have to wear it.

Uni starts in less than 2 weeks. Send me my paperwork already!!!!

I sat there at work today and compiled a list of books that I'd like. There's a lot on there. I then went onto BWB and wrote down how much each one would cost second hand. I didn't purchase any of them. Yay to me. They're not going anywhere and I have a ton to read already.

I need to get out. I'm going down hill and it's starting to be toxic. So, 3 to look at and see where it takes me.

Busy weekend. Gosh I thought this week was going to be 'quiet'. Eeepp! Not so. Monday was pizza (well Soul Food), Tuesday was a brief catch up, Wednesday dinner, Thursday home (Yay!), Friday is exhibition and b'day party, Saturday is off season footy bbq followed by wardrobe delivery, Sunday is ME DAY! Then Monday it's pizza, Wednesday catch up, Friday dinner, Saturday maybe gig, Sunday Donkey Day.

I'm going to start reading Russka. I'm looking forward to it.

Must not forget to finish off Folio in the meantime. Shit.

So sleepy tired.

I had delicious Tibetan dinner tonight with rose and jo for the first time. Great food!! Loved it. I even got to take home the rest of my thurpka that I couldn't finish. I did have 4 momo to start with.

Hoping to finish Keith tonight bug at this 'late' hour I doubt it. I'll be snoozing away pretty soon.

A huge congratulations and celebration for Rose who will be a uni student as at 21 February 2011. It's a huge step in her desire to Study creative writing, being an up and coming writer herself. Excellent work hon, you made it this far all on your own talents and should be really proud. I am!

----- I miss you already. Can you please read me a bed time story so I fall asleep listening to your beautiful voice.
