You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed ( Read more... )

Three down one to go. One disaster, two alright. I just hope I get at least a supp exam for social psych. Philosophy was easy and I'm feeling confident that I at least passed Research Methods three (Statistics). I only read over the material and it just sort of clicked. There were some things I took a guess at but I was able to answer 90% of the ( Read more... )

or so I hope...

Therapy with Hayden has stopped. The senior therapist who was handling the family resigned leaving them without support. I think it would've been possible to continue therapy but the past few weeks I haven't put as much effort in as I should have. Uni took up most of my energy and I didn't feel like I had much left for Hayden as his ( Read more... )

eeeeeeee so I let myself flow into that soft headed meloncholy and today I feel like a kid who knows it's only 4 sleeps til christmas.

The job I really really really want just became a little bit more tangible after I volunteered in the position I'm going for. It's just one more step closer to being able to give back to the community that's given ( Read more... )

Today I will try to eloquently surrender to the bitter-sweet melancholy that seems to be seducing my motivation. It's distracted elsewhere and so I wallow in procrastination; searching for soft music to send me spiralling into my 'sadness', that can only be described as one gigantic sigh of apathy. Words tumble over rocky textures and I wonder ( Read more... )

no seriously. I love it.

I really *REALLY* like chocolate ( Read more... )

Another night of poker at with the national poker league guys. They hold tournaments at pubs around hobart and up north, several times a week. We usually head to the one on Friday nights (but sometimes on wednesdays too) I've managed to be 5th on the leaderboard out of 190... though granted some players have only played once out of a possible 8 ( Read more... )

Another 3 hours trundled by with Hayden. Doing therapy with him can be so intense and a lot of energy some days but then others he's a little angel. I can just imagine what he'd be like if he wasn't trapped by his fog of autismn, every time I see him though he impresses me with something new he's learned from the last session we had. As his ( Read more... )

After coming 13th out of 60 last night at poker, we headed home and played our own little tournament in which I lost all g's 5c coins to the total of $2. Headed out with Adrian, one of my old school mates and a good friend. Was awesome to catch up (and beat him at poker) and I also love him to bits ( Read more... )
