It's Back

Be Very Afraid...

It's back. The thing that ruins all attempts at free time and is a gloomy clous hanging over the head of anyone who does something non-related - when they know they should still be studying. That's right, second semester of uni started this week. Fun times ahead... not!

Already, i'm behind in my work, because we have just so damn much! I've been sick for a few weeks and get exhausted at a much earlier hour than i'm used to (re: i can't stay up until 1 or 2am), which is hardly condusive to getting more done. Instead, i'm quickly falling more and more behind. I'll be up late tonight and tomorrow night catching up, let me tell you! Fitting all of my uni stuff and all of my jobs into my schedule isn't leaving me much time for anything else, unfotunately.

I'm not happy to be back. I didn't do nearly everything i planned to do in the holidays, either being too busy working or too busy being sick. Not fun. So i'm returning to the chains, feeling like i didn't really have enough of a break. Seeing as i don't lovelovelove my course, i really don't have enough motivation for me to want to stay on top of things, which is very dangerous. It's a real effort even to do the bare minimum.

While talking about doing the bare minimum, i passed all of my exams. Thankfully, my goal to just scrape a pass was achieved and i even did a little better than i thought i would in some subjects. What a relief!

So, it's back to the slave labour for me. I don't even have the pleasure of Felix the Cat's company in all of my tute's this semester; i'll have to tough it out alone, which is much less fun. I really prefer not having to make new friends... but considering the singular person that i could count on for lunch is now running a different timetable, i'm just going to have to make the effort. I've decided that it's better to make the effort than stay a total loner! Even though that's not really too uncommon at Flinders at the moment.

Wish me luck!
