April Fools!
Handed in my essay at 2pm- 3 hours before is was due. I'm so glad to finally be done with it. It wasn't partiularly hard, just stressful. All the footnotes and things had to be done in very specific way and I was freaking out...
What's fantastic though is that there are 2 people on my floor and one on the floor below that also take this paper (Greek Lit) so all Wednesday night from around 6pm to about 3am we were all running around, going to each other's rooms, making sure we'd remembered everything. It had such a sense of community and just generaly good-spirited helpfulness about it. It made me feel a lot better about doing this essay. I was motivated to get it done because we were all encouraging each other.
Still. These people, they feel like something in between accquaintances and friends. I know I've only been here 5 weeks.), and it took me 5 years to find such amazing friends and build up my relationship with you guys, it's just that I miss some things about home and high school.
There's a lot of good stuff about living here though...
Anyway, I really ought to try and sleep. Triple barrel of lectures tomorrow & then maybe a night out drinking and bowling (we'll see how that goes down...), so bye bye for now.

Chillin'
Just sitting in the laundry with my laptop, listening to my nostalgia playlist, waiting for the dryer to finish its cycle. Yaay.
19 minutes to go.
My nostalgia playlist is the one with all the songs in my iTunes library that remind me of the old days. Songs like Save Tonight, by Eagle Eye Cherry, This is the Story of a Girl, by 3 Doors Down, Sex and Candy by Marcy Playground. I never skip them when they come up on shuffle either. Makes me think of when I lived in Auckland, or of the holidays we used to go on.
La la la
The acoustics in here are really really echoey so when I song along it's really loud. I don't even care. Empty stairwells outside. No one around. Awesome. I'm gonna sing along as loudly and as badly as I can.
Yaay okay washing done bye bye.

The transition from high school to university (work wise) really isn't that bad. I mean, it's like when you go from year 12 to 13- it's just a level up that you have to adapt to, but nothing so bad as to make it too hard for the majority of students. I wouldn't be here if they didn't think I'm capable, and I am :D
Anyway. Birthday. Eugh.
That's not an exclamation of disgust. It's more like whatever.
It wasn't a bad day, it was just average. I guess because it was Tuesday today and I had to go to classes and do all this stuff that I do on any other day of the week. The only big difference is all the people saying happy birthday to me.
I didn't get anything in the post, but I know that Mum and my aunts and uncles have sent stuff which hasn't arrived yet (since some of it is coming from England).
The people on my floor seem pretty keen to go out this weekend. I don't have an ID yet but hopefully I will by Friday or Saturday (and hopefully I wont have to pay for my own booze).
Anyway. Don't really know where I was going with this, so goodnight.

Yerp
Owww I'm really uncomfortable right now. I'm sitting on the floor against a window but since it's 3 stories above ground (or above road- it's a bridge thingy from one side of the road to the other) there are these retarded thin metal bars that are digging into my back and I can't move because there are no other seats and I'm lazy.
Anyway I woke up this morning to 19 text messages because of the birthday wishes on FB. That was at about 10am. I had a shower and everything and then just kinda left to come to uni, even though I don't have a class until 2pm. I don't know what my floor is planning but I hope they'll leave it until this weekend because I seriously cannot afford to miss any more lectures or tutorials.
I actually have a ton of work to do- mostly reading.
:(
On the bright side birthday means presents and presents usually means money which is something I am short on, like, all the time. So yaay.
Adieu :) x

Handed in my essay with only two hours to spare yesterday. I feel pretty good about it. I'm sure I avoided all the major traps that we were warned about, and though it might not have a new and interesting take, I covered all the basics. I'd be happy with a C. At the very most I'm expecting a B-, but that's probably wishful thinking.
