I am actually mega happy!!!

- Posted from my iPad

THURSDAY

I am so excited for Thursday,
I will be traveling for my first time to tasmania,
And also, for my first time, alone!
I am actually majorly scared about it,
But also super pumped!
Still have a bit of packing to do,
But everything has made its way through the washing machine this weekend,
So it is all clean :)

I just have 2 exams standing in my way!
But when they are done, I am good to go :D

3 down

I have completed three out of five of my exams,
Which is a nice feeling,
It is also very exciting that this time next week I will be in Tasmania :D

So my life is coming together for a bit,
Sort of,
Maybe
I am trying to,
I am still waiting for Charlie to text me and find out if our friendship has survived at all,
But I will text him next Wednesday if I haven't heard from him,
And if he doesn't reply,
I will just have a fantastic holiday and forget him!
Which should hopefully be not too hard,
Maybe I will meet a lovely lad on my tour?
Anyone know someone going on a top deck tour in Tasmania next week?
If yes, then give me a yelp,
Because I would love to hear about them!
I am very impressed with my one dedicated follower that replied to my call for comments,
If someone else wants to leave a comment, that would be fantastical!
I am seriously scared at the amount of traffic that my blog has been getting,
Most have been coming from stumbleupon,
Which is a pretty cool website,
So, I guess I have them to thank?
Not sure who thought my blog was cool enough to recommend,
But cool for you,
Anyway, I should do some more study!

the magic number 20

ok, so i am not there yet,
but this morning when i weighed myself i had lost 19 and a half kilos since the end of july :D
i am so super excited about that!
it is actually crazy exciting!
woot,
anyway,
i am now tired from mega assignmenting,
i just managed to pull out a 3000 word assignment from nothing in an evening!
which is mighty impressive i must say.
hopefully i do well!

an update

so, i have been badly absent recently,
but hopefully that will change soon?
an update of my life?
the assignment i thought i did so poorly on?
i ended up getting a distinction for!
so i was super chuffed :D
i also managed a HD for my assignment on early childhood depression,
so it has been a good time for assignment results!
hopefully the assignments that i am doing this weekend will turn out just as snazzy!
in non-uni related news,
i have been procrasti-baking...
which i guess is uni related?
cos i was avoiding assignment work...
but choc cupcakes are always worth it...

my weight loss has slowed at 15 kilos lost...
but none gained, so i am happy,
i will have another crack at hard core diet and exercise in a bit and get down even further!
i have had some nice coffee catch ups lately,
but unfortunately not today,
i went into uni early to do some assignment work before a coffee 'date' at 10:30,
but that ended up being cancelled,
and then my lunch catch up was also cancelled,
but it's all good,
plans were made for a re-scheduling :D
anyhow,
dinner time :D


byeeeeeee

Ok, so here is one I wrote earlier

Blog: 27/09/11 9:30pm
My Internet is so shoddy,
It is killing me!
I need my super fast connection back! But until then, I will have to make do with writing blog posts on my iPad and then posting them when I get to uni...

So, what has been happening with me?
I have gotten myself all confused about boys again,
as usual :(
why are they always so hard to understand?
I even sat through hours of brownlow medal announcements and all of that junk for him,
which for me is a big deal, and I just want to scream a bit!
Oh well, I have several months of nun-ish-ness to look forward to yet I am sure.
might as well enjoy them :P
other than that, I have been studying for uni and getting all of my assignments done,
I even managed to get a HD for one thing :D
I have been nice and queezy the last few days, which hasn't been particularly nice, plus I haven't been able to sleep properly, which has made me fairly erratic and slightly cranky!
my presentation on early childhood depression went well today, although I hope that I never have to think about it even again!
the facts about 6 years olds and younger being diagnosed with clinical depression are just plain scary!
Anyway, it is time for me to try and get some sleep!

Oh, and I am super-massively rugged up for a freezing night, the weather man predicted 4 degrees!

I find it all rather depressing

I am currently mid way through an assignment for my behaviour management unit at uni,
And my topic is depression,
So I have spent the last few hours pouring over pages and pages of facts, statistics and information about depression in zero to eight year olds!
It is shockingly grounding!
What could possibly have gone wrong for such young children to be burdened with one of the worst disorders?
And then reading about suicide rates in under 12s!!!
It is so upsetting!
I would even suggest that it is depressing just reading about this!
Of course, I have been dealing with my own depression for years now,
But 6 year olds? They are meant to be playing and enjoying the simplicity of life!
Not contemplating their own morbidity!!!
What happened to protecting the innocence of children?
Why has that rate of depression in early childhood increased by 580% in the last 10 years?
And the government keeps sending money overseas with our military?
The biggest problem of all is that everyone is still in denial over this prevalent issue!
No one believes that children can get such an atrocious disorder!
I am currently studying a unit which is based around creating a learning environment for early childhood, that reflects personal beliefs. And you can all be assured that when I am let loose on the world of teaching, my classroom will be a haven of childishness!
A kindergarten is scary enough when you are a tiny child coming straight from spending all of your days at home with mum...
Why make it worse, by having set desks, and homework?
My classroom will be colourful, it will have a home corner, it will most importantly be personal!
I will spend the first few weeks focusing on the students,
Making posters about their families to display, and getting them to bring in photos, toys and trinkets from home.
The transition period into school is what students will base their entire reaction to the idea of schooling from!
If I can create a positive reaction, then hopefully that will have an even larger positive influence on their future learning and emotional development!!!

late night postings

i am up at 11:41 on a friday night...
but not cos i have been out partying,
unfortunately i have been struggling on assignments and waiting for my sister to finish work!
which sucks!
i wish i was tired,
then i could at least try to sleep!
or someone to talk to for hours on the phone!
my mobile has been almost dead these past few days!
it is rather upsetting,
i used to be pushing or exceeding my $450 cap plan,
and that was every single month,
and now i am lucky if i send 50 messages per month!
quite sad, i know!
on a happier note,
i got my tax return cheque in the mail :D
i had thought i would need to pay somewhere around $600,
but because of the fact that i can now claim for study expenses due to my youth allowance,
i ended up finding a cheque with $658 all for me!
i put it into the bank today,
so hopefully the actual money will appear in my account sometime next week :D
i love good surprises,
without that awful build up of anticipation.
i cannot stand anticipation, or suspense.
i like to be in control of all things surrounding me!
which i am not, when i am surprised...
anyway,
i hear my uni work calling,
or maybe that was the next episode of ncis saying my name?

just another day at uni

I had a super fun at uni today,
I got up nice and early,
Walked to the train station and got to uni for 9am...
Waited around for half an hour,
Then we found a sign on the door saying today's lecture had been cancelled!
Garhhh,
And then when we went to the library,
We looked online and there was an email saying that due to unforeseen circumstances the lecture was cancelled.
But the email had been sent at 8:55am,
Which was when I was already on the train!
And there was nothing on blackboard about what was happening...
And then, another hour later, I got an email saying that my tutorial was also cancelled!
Which meant that I had nothing to do until 12:30!
Which is so so so very annoying!
Argh!!!!!!!!!
So then, I was at uni for three and a half hours for one hour of tutorial!
I would have just gone home,
But I had a presentation,
Which meant that I HAD to stay :(

an apology

i am very sorry for my absense, and any awful spelling and grammer mistakes i make today.
i have been working my arse of whith uni assignments,
and as such my brain is fried and my hands are dead!
but i will write to you with the last of my energy!
i spent my weekend thinking up 170 or so activity ideas for my creating learning environments unit,
only to find out after i had sumbitted it, that becuase my tutor had explained it incorrectly, half of the students in the unit, including myself, had completed the assignment incorrectly!
but i am hoping, that since it is the majority of students who completed the assignment my way, maybe they will allow us to pass with what we finished,
or at least allow us to re-submit the assignment giving us a chance to re-gig the incorrect parts.
and the worst part was that the correct way to complete the assignment was a LOT easier than what i actually did!
stupid assignments are going to be the death of me.
and then there was the health test that i had on monday, which was on everything covered in my health and physical education unit so far this semester...
but the lecturer gave us no clues to what in particular we had to study, so i ended up writing out 4 and a half pages of notes!
and the end of semester exam wont even be covering the health component of the course, so i don't need any of the pages again!
and i have also been slaving away over my religion assignment, which is all about creating a plan for a home centre/dramatic play area, to teach pre-primary students about how jesus had a family and was like them...
i have the compulsory hand-out completed, and just need to print off 20 or so for my classmates. now to organise props and the like to take into class for my presentation.
and then there is the fact that my brain wants to explode due to over use!
so i really just want to take a day off,
but i have promised myself, after a weekend of major stress and assignment doing,
that i will not be leaving assignments to the last few days.
therefore, i am attempting to get started on those that i understand.
so back to the study i go!

timetable sign up

i was so stressed at midday today,
had to try and sign up for the tutorials that i want!
and the last time i was in charge of my sign up i ended up with the worst timetable ever!
but this year it ran rather smoothly,
so all good :)

philosophy can go die!

i actually hate philosophy!
comparitively i am enjoying theology at the moment,
which is surprising me!
because i had a feeling it might bore me...

but i have a philosophy essay due tomorrow,
and it is killing me,
because i don't understand the subject!

my lovely new jumper

i bought a notre dame jumper on monday,
and i think i have worn it every day since then :)
not all day,
but just for bits.
but it is lovely and warm!
:D
it's lovely like TOTALLY!
hehehehe

exam freedom

so, i sat my exam yesterday!
t'was rather painful,
but now that it is over it means i have finished two of my units for the semester!
woot woot!
so now i only have thursdays at uni,
which will be a nice change!
i should really find some more hours at work so that i can make lots of money and buy myself a new compooper,
but i am slack and lazy,
so i will wait for the start up scholarship from centrelink next semester...

SUPAFEST

i have supafest tomorrow,
woot woot,
on a negative note however,
that means a day of not studying and not resting before i have an exam on monday morning...

stressed

so, i had a massively stressful day yesterday,
which resulted in me feeling ill all day,
and i still feel that way,
and i am choosing to believe that this ill feeling is still from all of my stressing and not because of my excessive alcohol consumption last night...
it is NOT from the alcohol.

anyway,
i only just managed to get all of the work done,
stupid assignments,
and today is meant to be devoted to study and the completion of one last assignment,
but cos i feel all gross,
i have yet to do either...
and then there is work this evening :S
yuck yuck yuck!

quality

we willl be doing these evaluations now, because i'm not sure when the quality office closes...


what i heard= we will be doing these evaluations now, because i'm not sure how the quality of this will decrease???


seriously,
my brain needs sleep!

assignments

are kicking my arse!

i must complete them!
but i have gone and made many coffee dates for this week!
silly sophie!

anyway,
i should continue with the assignments!

sober

i feel like i may be becoming the poster girl for not drinking,
it has been so so so long since i got drunk!
i feel i need to get drunk soon to remember what it is like!
i have an unlimited alcohol event this friday,
but i have exams the following week,
so need to study on saturday :S
i WILL get drunkenly soon though

 

PAPER JAM

pretty sure i have used almost an entire rainforest worth of paper today doing printing for my theology and philosophy units!!!


ARGH
