Uni Impatience
I am so excited about the possibility of becoming a uni student. I haven’t studied since I graduated high-school, so so many years ago. I graduated alongside the brilliant mind of The_Blind_Archer, who co-incidently was the man who got me into keeping a blog in the first place. You should really check out his blog (if you haven’t already) – he’s currently in another country making an amazing life for himself, and is a brilliant guy to get to know.
That’s exactly what I wanna do too – make an amazing life for myself. I think I’m more excited about the actual act of being a student than I am the actual course I wanna do. How weird am I!? I suppose it probably does have a little bit to do with the fact that that dude I hooked up with last week IS a student at the university I’d ideally like to attend lol. Not that I like him in that way, it was just sex, but having to find my way there gave me a mini-tour of that one part of the uni is like! And no, I don’t just mean his bedroom with my legs up in the air.
Speaking of him, he’s asked me back a few times now lol. I haven’t said yes, just haven’t felt like it.
I’m in a uni mood today because I just spent probably the last hour looking through my course books at the main uni I’d like to go to. My preferences are actually at two different uni’s, but most at the same one. I also added another preference to my application – an arts degree, purely because I noticed it offers subjects in Psych and Social Sciences. I just have to wait until December it seems before I hear anything about being offered a place.
Work is going well. I did 5 nights in a row the last few days. Riverfire night I knew was gunna be an interesting one, with drunk people coming in all night, but it actually wasn’t too bad. Just a few drunk chicks in the store, so that was fine. Work knows of my plans for uni, and she seemed really happy for me, saying during my interview that I might be able to drop back to 3 nights a week once I start uni if I want to. I’ve been having trouble making out the reading on one of the dip tanks because its SO hard to read lately! It’s been pissing me off and I’ve apparently been recording the results wrong. I really don’t wanna be doing that 🙁 But no matter how many times I dip it and try to re-read it, I just cannot make out a distinct line 🙁 The other 4 dips I can read fine, it’s just the one that’s frustrating the hell out of me, and it’s only at one of the sites. At the other site I can read all of them absolutely no trouble at all. I found out this week that we are changing over to the new system, and my boss rang me up about doing training. Funny thing is, I already did the training because they trained me at a store that already has the system. It was 3 weeks ago now, but I should be able to remember it.
So I’m excited. I wanna be a student already! I don’t wanna wait til December to hear of my outcome for admission. I definitely don’t wanna wait until March to start my course (Or February if it’s the other uni I get into). I wanna meet new people, I wanna learn, i wanna be interested and I want to gain skills to hopefully make a difference in this world.
I woke up with a massive headache this morning 🙁 Nurofen Plus I LOVE you. I was meant to meet a mate of mine for dinner last night but I crashed out asleep. It’s weird having days off, because I want to stay awake during the day, but it’s not easy when I’m used to graveyard shifts. I guess I’m playing with the idea of being able to stay awake during the day on my nights off and sleeping during the day on the nights I have to work. I realise once I start uni (see, I’m remaining positive lol), that’ll have to change, but now now it could work.
No sex stories for you guys this time, sorry, but I’ve been chatting to some really cute guys, so yeah I never know what could happen. I haven’t heard from J* in ages. It’s weird not talking to him 🙁
My housemate just came upstairs and chatted to me – I haven’t seen him in like ages haha. We’ve both been busy I guess. I probably saw him for a few minutes each night before I went to work.
I’m so glad that the X Factor is back on in the UK. I’m enjoying watching the clips of the outstanding ones on YouTube, like they do every year. That guy who sang ‘Sex On Fire’ from Aussie band Kings Of Leon, was amazing!
I always feel so stupid when I write about this in public, because only one friend I have actually gives a damn about it. I’ve started hosting my charts on Open Diary now as well – it just seemed to work best, and it works with me having my diary here as well. I’m not leaving the link cos I’m embarrassed about it, but if people wanted to find it, they easily could. I couldn’t fit the entire top 100 in one entry (damn limits), so I’ve improvised and made two seperate 1-50 and 51-100 entries. And I’m happy because I emailed the owner of a compilation chart site I’m on, to ask him if I could get the link to my chart changed over, and he replied pretty much straight away! It’s all changed over and people who access his site can now see my link on his personal charts page along with the other 350 charters on there! So that was pretty cool, considering last time I tried to email him about that, my request went ignored. This time I took a more professional approach and wrote him a formal email – Dear Sir/Madam, yours sincerley sorta thing 🙂 And wallah! It’s done! Woohoo!
I’m meeting a chick I went to school with in the city soon. She’s just moved to Brissy, so I’m SO glad to have her here 🙂
Wish these next 3 months would just go away already – I wanna know about uni! 😛
i really want to go back to school too – if my bills werent so high id be there in a heartbeat, so good luck with that! my fiance works overnight shifts at the hotel we work at, and its HORRIBLE on his sleep/work schedule, but he loves the quiet at night. what type of place do you work @ thats open all night? also, what do you mean by your charts? i was sort of confused! good luck with admissions!

Having just gone back to school, I’m compelled to conjure the phrase “buyer beware”. It’s awesome but more taxing than I expected.
