It's 2AM!!!

Why am I still up??!! Not sure - think I have lots on my mind...

First - good news! I finished this one assignment about an hour ago. It was a bit slow and draggy, but with His strength, managed to do it!! Yay! One more dreaded assignment to go and then it's down to studying for the exams! Yes, I managed to resist the shows TY gave me. Haha! The shows are sooo addictive!

Today has been a really long day... I had to get the nurse to look at my stitches again because they were protruding and weren't dissolving - stubborn little things. I went to the clinic and they actually got a tweezer and pulled the thing out. It was Ow! Then after that, I had to get my mum from her hotel. She wanted to cook for me which was really sweet. So we went to get groceries, but by the time we got back, it was about 4pm. While she cooked, I had to do my assignment, but I did warn my mum beforehand... She just came at a really bad time when everything was due. While she was cooking, I couldn't really do much of my assignment because my mum kept asking me where to put stuff... I managed to write about a paragraph though. Well after all that cooking, I sent my mum back to the hotel, but it was around peak hour and when I got back, it was already about 7:30pm - ate and then took about 3 hours to complete the rest of my assignment. But glad that one's over and done!

Oh, while grocery shopping - and this is the exciting part - the Otolaryngology department at Melb Uni called. Haha... I can't even pronounce that word properly. Oh dear me! Anyway, they called and I was shortlisted for an interview, which means I head back to Melb earlier than planned. But because I already booked flights for the 18th to 23rd to Melb (my initial plan to Melb), I will only go for a short trip just for the interview, cause of work commitments. The interview's on the 8th and I'll be in Melb from 7-9th Dec. I really can't believe it - that I got that interview. I mean, I understand I did my BA and Honours in Melb Uni, but I also tried out this Pgrad Cert and never really completed it... Hmm... Plus, rem how I did BA/Law and dropped out of the Law bit in my first year of undergrad? Hmm... wonder what they'd say to that. But yep, am happy and it's all really exciting getting that interview! Hope it all goes okay.

A piece of bad news - been spending sooo much, the finances are sooo tight. And especially since I only have 10 days paid sick leave per year and used them all up, and then had additional sick leave... haven't really gotten paid much at all. Plus I just got a toll notice! It was way back in October... didn't really recall where I was then, but it said I was heading north... I'm assuming I was going to work at that hour.

And then my sis is planning to go to London in Dec with my parents to visit relatives, but because I already booked flights for Melb and the interview and visiting TY and frens... I don't have the savings to go there at all.

Then there's this other thought in my head that if I get into my course, I'd prob not work in media anymore and work in a health-related field instead. So many things...

Anywayz, tomorrow, it's handing in my assignment, getting a few groceries and then heading to work. After work, it's purely the last and final assignment for the year... and then down to business with the studying for the exams. First major exam's on the 20th!! Lots of prayers needed!!
