Try as I might and Hyperventilation

Another attempt to broaden the spectrum? Why not?

The nature of business management has crept into a lot of things for me lately. Subject selection, noteworthy pieces of news, relatives' updates and stories, etc. The way in which power is held over the parts that make up a corporate body... Zzz...

That didn't work. I fell asleep before I could finish. It was an attempt in earnest as well. Let's start smaller. And less money-related. And for heaven's sake, let us for once not revert to Mother 3 as the default topic.

Although chapter 7 of the handbook was just released on the secret forum.

*slap*

Control yourself, Man.

University students of Australia all return to study around this week, myself included. Many in the water park were unable to talk of anything else. "Pub crawl" this and "concert" that. The important parts of uni life were the main topics of discussion. It'll be nice to blog from my desk again, instead of this mobile phone. Hmmm... Another topic is surfacing.

It seems my paranoia exploded again this afternoon. I read into a simple story a lot more than was intended. I saw break-ups and self-loathing. I saw destructive behaviour leading to unhealthy dependance. I saw delusional people walking in circles. Still, she really shouldn't have brought up the topic of fruit conserve. Especially fig. It tears at a mutual weakness. The analogy of the preservatives was hard to miss.

Have a safe night, everyone.

P.S. *twitch* I'm fine.

P.P.S. Thanks for putting up with me.

The drab alternative... isn't so bad

It appears that I must blog from the local library. I've just put through my subject selection for next semester. Yes, I know. It does indeed start next Monday.

This also brings sad news. I was rejected (of course) from studying Italian this year. Oh, well. With my terrible grades, I was foolish to hope.

This semester I will turn everything around. Regular exercise, regular sleep, regular diet, regular study (University and scripture); a fully regulated lifestyle. I'm actually looking forward to it with great anticipation. It should help in my quest for good health. Actually, this morning I bought myself a nice set of bathroom scales to the same end.

I'm taking some electives this year: Computational Biomechanics and Organisational Behaviour. Should be interesting. On top of purchasing the text books, I should probably read them this time.

Hope all the Uni students on the Aus timetable had a relaxing holiday. Time to get back to it.

P.S. I'll also be living on a tighter budget this year, so don't be offended if I can't go out when you ask. I still care. Just in a poorer way.

P.P.S. I hope everyone enjoyed "The Water Hole" (see previous post) and to those that haven't seen it yet... There's still two days left! Don't miss out! Get yourself to the ACCA quicksmart!

Emergency blog!

Everyone in Melbourne! Hear ye! Hear ye! If you haven't seen it already, you must (no choice) see the exhibition currently on display at the ACCA. It's a mind-blowing installation by Gerda Steiner & Jörg Lenzlinger entitled "The Water Hole".

Trust me. You will thank me later.

P.S. It's only on display until the 1st of March. Hurry!

Should I? Shouldn't I?

I'm out the other side of one of the most difficult semesters of my academic life and I've got more than a few cuts and bruises. What's my response to this?

Why not try adding Italian to my course?

Am I insane? Of course. But am I stupid? I hope not. I'd like to think I've just found the motivation to push myself to achieve what I should be capable of. It'll look good on my CV as well.

I have a few weeks once it's started to test the waters, but for now I'm gonna hit the books and go over my Italian notes from high school.

Catch ya!

P.S. I can't get enough of those dumplings for dinner!
