October update
Thought I'd post while I'm actually in something approximating a good mood!
I was dreading the clocks going forward, but the extra daylight seems to be working wonders. I'm not completely exhausted at the end of the day any more - hoorah!
I think it helps that after 2 terms I finally managed to get on top of things at the gym, so for the last couple of weeks I've just been running the place, instead of trying to run the place and catch up with a million other things. Hoorah!
Still plenty of crap going on at the uni - haven't found a way to appease the head of dept yet, but it's nearly the end of semester so there's an end in sight to the craziness that is teaching there! I've got some good students in my group and 2 of them asked today how they switch to doing as astro component to their degree, instead of arts/geoscience... If I can show that we're having that effect, I might just be able to get someone to start paying attention...
Still got an assignment to write before next week, and a crazy weekend ahead (coaching at gym, singing lesson, and St John radio communications for the Melbourne marathon - 5am start on Sunday!!!)
But for once I'd be inclined to say that life is going well... just don't tell anyone!
Plus the world is always better when there's a little parrot snuggling in your t-shirt...
*hugs to all*
