Sydney was ok. Pallative care is not a happy subject, but everyone's handling it ok. There's a lot of people around my grandmother to help her. We just feel kinda helpless living in Canberra. We're anticipating a few more trips up in the next few months ( Read more... )

My application to the A.C.T Department on Education is due tomorrow (make that today). I'm writing a statement concerning my performance as a classroom teacher. Alas, I've only done the one prac. This process isn't easy for the Grad Dips. We've only been at this one semester and we don't have our first unit marks back yet. The application isn't ( Read more... )

Anyone want to come tree planting on Saturday morning? 666 radio and Greening Australia are planting out at the Cotter. I'll be driving out in case anyone wants a ride ( Read more... )

Went shopping yesterday and made an impulse purchase. How does one celebrate graduation? By buying a Wii. I've never bought a console at launch before. Haven't bought any extra games yet. I've just got Wii Sports and Wii Play which came with the extra remote. They're both a whole lot of fun. Brilliant for multiplayer. The inclusion of Golf and ( Read more... )

Got my marks for my train-wreck of a semester. I've been losing sleep over it. I got two credits, two distinctions. How the fuck did I manage that? I got exactly the same marks as I always do, despite the fact that I handed stacks of stuff in late. I'm not sure how it's possible not to have gotten any passes ( Read more... )

I've been trying to work out what I'm going to go if I don't graduate next month and I came up with a plan. Problem is, I like the plan so much that now I'm having second thoughts about starting my diploma next year. I had a bad time at uni this last semester and I'm not sure that I'm going to cope with the diploma. I've been told that it's a ( Read more... )

Went out last night and drank too much. Again. I've thrown myself back into old habits but I can't handle them the way I could before ( Read more... )

So yet again I've sat at my computer all night watching Daily Show clips instead of writing my essay. An essay that was due yesterday. I've never had so much trouble getting uni work done as I have this semester. I think I'm just going to sleep for all of december ( Read more... )

So everything's totally crap at the moment. And my way of dealing with it is to get shitfaced at my birthday celebrations. Unfortunatly, I haven't drunk in a really long time and I can't handle as much alcohol as I used to. I had a great time catching up with friends but a little while after we got into civic I got really ill. What surprised me was ( Read more... )

Things have been stable for so long. My academic intentions were decided years ago and so far I've stuck to the plan. I've made all these long term decisions and now I'm completly freaked out over what I've gotten myself into. I'm not sure I'll last through another year at uni. I've been so very happy. Now everything I've taken for granted is ( Read more... )
