Obviously

It's Saturday night and I'm sitting in my room reading Antigone and trying to make sense of this essay I have to write, and three boys from floor 1 or whatever come in and ask me if I'm drinking. I think it's pretty obvious that once I've said no they should leave, since I am obviously busy. Don't stand around asking me stupid questions, just go the fuck away.

I'm stressing about this essay a little because on top of it there's another which I'm stressing about even more. All in all I have to write 4,500 words by Thursday/Friday, and that's the part of the workload that doesn't include running around going to the library and trying to find relevant info when I don't even know what relevant info I need. Ugh.

School starts again in two days too.
Great.

Wish me luck x

Jeez what an averageish night.

Went up to uni at 20 to 8 with Jared, handed in my essay, waited for the bus back, got to 5th floor at 10 past 9 and had a couple shots of tequila.

James was in the common room. I ignored him, but it wasn't awkward because I was a couple shots past caring by the time I actually went in there.

There weren't actually that many people around, which sucked. Just me, Megan, Andre, Jared (sober), Caleb (the hall president) and three other guys, one of whom body slid across a dinner table on St Paddy's Day. Those three guys left at one point to smoke some "Mary J" and I was going to go with them but I didn't really understand what was going on, cause I'd had 8 shots by then, so they left and then came back later. I smelled the weed though. It smelt really nice.

This isn't in order at all...

  • Got on a bus to Kelburn campus with Jared
  • Went to the library and printed off my essay. Became a fake girlfriend. (If you saw that Jared and I were a relationship on FB, it's not actually real. He did it to get back at his 'ex-wife'.)
  • Put the essay in the essay box. Climbed up some very dark stairs and found an attic. Freaked out Jared by pretending there was someone else there.
  • Walked in circles around campus while we waited for a bus back
  • Got the bus and once home again found Andre and Caleb and this other guy on 5th floor, listened to some music, did a couple shots of tequila. I hated the salt bit but the lemon was nice
  • Sat in the 5th floor common room with Andre and Laura while Andre cut up some lemons
  • Realised that James was there and internally freaked out. Ignored him.
  • Did two more shots
  • Hid the alcohol from the RAs
  • Went to Megan's room so she could get something to drink
  • Also had some Baileys
  • And more shots
  • Wandered around. Tried to wrestle a ball off Andre. Failed
  • Went to Andre's room with Megan and chilled, because everyone had disappeared (probably smoking)
  • Went back to Caleb's room
  • Decided to go to McDonalds

I did get pretty drunk but by 20 to 1 I was feeling soberish, so Megan and I went to get Michael and Jared from 8th floor and went to McDonalds, and I feel pretty much normal now.

SO average. I mean compared to other nights, it was. First time drinking tequila though. Not as bad as I thought it would be.

It's definitely time for bed now though. Ok. Goodnight x

Home!

Caught the bus at 2 and finally arrived back in Wellington two and half hours later. Walked all the way up Lambton Quay to the James Cook Hotel entrance and then onto The Terrace, and now finally home again!
I was feeling so faint because I hadn't eaten anything at all today, so I walked to McDs for food.

Ugh and already I've been in two awkward lift situations- one with this guy I hooked up with, and two with some guy and his Mum. It's just weird when no one says anything.
Situation number one was resolved when two lifts arrived at once and I got in one and he got in another, but not before I'd managed to mumble a hello and walk backwards into a table. Christ, why am I so awkward?

Anyway. I'm supposed to be doing an essay right now but I honestly have no idea what I'm supposed to write, and there's no one around that I can talk to about it.

About ten minutes ago Jared and Ripeka from 8th floor came up (Jared in a sleeping bag...) and invited me to their floor to watch a movie, which I'm thankful for. I don't really feel like sitting in my room all night.

This Is An Extremely Pointless Blog Post, So Don't Get Your Hopes Up

Back at home in Sanson. Back among the family, the dogs, the farm... and I miss Wellington. After the weekend I've just been mooching around the house, waking up late, eating all the good food. I've been grocery shopping with my mum a couple of times. So exciting, I know.

For an hour or so today I was under the impression that I was going to a movie, but didn't.

I actually have nothing to say. This is so pointless.

9 Awesome Things About The Weekend

1. Having so many innuendos in one conversation and making Jordan laugh and me laughing too and not being able to stop and it just being hilarious even though we make sexual jokes all the time

2. James flailing at me at the skatepark

3. Laughing at James and Isaac snoring with Brendan and comparing the noises they made to very inappropriate similies

4. Blundering around Keryn's house at 3am with Brendan and almost falling on Cecile and James

5. Having a discussion on Hamlet & the Iliad with Jess M

6. Watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

7. Playing Halo 3 and Left For Dead at Jess W's house and laughing at Jess M and Keryn turning around in circles and shooting at the sky

8. Pulling wet branches down and soaking everyone unfortunate enough to be walking beneath them

9. Getting only an hour's sleep on Friday night and watching the dawn

Stressing

Things are getting BETTER and BETTER regarding this essay. I'm probably going to end up needing an extension now because I have to rewrite the entire thing, due to a typo in the course materials. I feel like everything is being heaped on my shoulders at once and I know that when I get back next Friday I'm going to be swamped with essays and research and God knows what else. I think I'll go mad now and be done with it.

Worries

Guys I am freeaaaking out :( I've only done 530 words on this essay and I'm supposed to have 1000 and it's due on Friday and I don't think I've done it right. I might have to take out some of it :( I have around 89,796,575 tabs open on my browser cause I'm trying to find something relevant to write about and beef out my essay but it's not working and ugggh. On top of that my internet connection is tres iffy these days. Which helps. A LOT.

Oh and today I was sent an e-mail that everyone else apparently got a week ago saying that my next hall payment is due on the 19th, and it's in the $3000 range, and I don't know if Mum's going to be able to handle it.

Aside from that and my essay there's a tonne of other stuff that needs doing... my room is a mess, I STILL need a laptop->printer USB, I have readings to catch up on and I have Studylink stuff to sort out. Then there's laundry to do and my sleeping pattern is out of whack... and I'm poor.
Fun times.

Today

Only three days until home time!!

Today was preetty good. I was awake at 10.30 and kinda slept in for an hourish, then got up and went to uni. Only two hours of class today, before which I had the BEST HOT CHIPS OF MY LIFE. Perfect balance of crunch, salt and oil. Tres bonne :3

For dinner tonight I had FREE PIZZA, courtesy of my RA. There are 21 empty boxes piled up near our rubbish bins. It was yummy. I had one slice of cheese pizza and two of cheese and salami. Simple stuff, but so gooood. Afterwards two girls from my floor, Larissa and Monique, were still hungry, so we walked to McDs and they bought McFlurry's. I'm still full D:

I sat in the lounge with my laptop doing my essay, didn't get far though. There are some people from my floor that I get on really well with, like Larissa, and Emily, who I was talking to for a while today. It's nice to know that I'm finally making some proper friends.

Yaaay :D

Results

I got a B on my history paper (69%). I'm actually pretty happy with it. It's close to 70%, which is a high number in my mind. Aaand the marker said it was "very well written" (quoting exactly from the sheet here). So overall not bad for my first ever uni essay.
On top of that I have a third assignment due next Friday. And I'm still freaking out about my other essay, and we don't get results for those until after holidays.

Speaking of, I'm pretty sure I'll be taking the bus to Palmerston North on the 15th, and from there going to Feilding. I'm going to need to know what's going on get-togetherwise, so I can book the right times. It may mean skipping a lecture or two, but never mind about that.

Anyway. I'm dog tired today so I think I'll read for a bit now and then sleep.

- Room is actually tidy for once, though will most likely be a mess in no time.
- Tired. All the time.
- Have been on Student Job Search everyday but so far nothing worthwhile.
- Poor.

etc.
