I Need the Hours

No, not to work... not to study... Just need more hours of sleep and being able to study and work at the same time. I'm feeling a little bit sick today with a cold and some cold sores cause of the really dry weather recently, and perhaps stress. But too late to call in sick... It's like lunch time already, and working on the Olympics later at 5pm.

Work and uni are both really fun, but fatigue doesn't allow me to enjoy it as much... Plus I'm really worried about how to finance myself for next year. I'm definitely intending to quit work so I can focus more on studies. But work gives me the income for substantial living. Perhaps I can work in the uni... Mary will need to give me tips. Haha! Then again, having said that, I haven't even written a cover letter or resume in so long, I think I've forgotten what I've done. Or rather, for the past five years, I've just moved around in the media industry. So undertaking something totally different and mentioning that in a job application would be a little scary to do. I haven't even had the time to look really.

I have 2 Stats tests and 1 large assignment next week, I don't really know how I'm gonna pull it off... But this week, I had to do a demo test and one test and for that one test, I scored 100%. And shock horror - it was a Stats unit! Imagine that! I told my parents and my dad was like "Don't you hate Stats?" And I was like "I did!" Somehow it's starting to be more enjoyable than I thought.

Also, I was trying to swap classes so that I can do this group assignment with this African American chick I met in the lecture. We kinda hit it off when we met and we'll be looking out for each other every Stats lect. =) The unfortunate thing is that we can't seem to get classes where both of us will be in it together - all the classes were full. I wasn't really worried about who would be in my group and no-one has really formed groups yet. I don't think we even do the group assignments till week 5 of uni. But I guess some people are pretty keen like one of the guys I know from first sem. Well, he recognised me and emailed me, asking me to be in his group cause we're in the same tutes. I agreed cause I think it's good to be in a tute group with someone really smart. And I know his study mode from Sem 1, and he is really smart, so you're bound to do well in the assignments. So yeah I'm happy. Another thing I also found out was that guy and three other girls are all doing the same qualifying entry into the MA Audiology course like me. And so this sem, we're all doing the same subjects. We were thinking of having this study group during uni breaks which is awesome. So good to know people from Sem 1. And hopefully if we all do well, we'll all be studying and working together for the next two years in uni for our course. For me, I'm just worried about supporting myself, not really being able to do well at this stage. But of course, I hope to do well too. Can't really say I will from that mini Stats test I did and got full marks, but I am definitely more motivated this sem and aiming for the high grades compared to last sem.
