safety pins, holding up the things, that make you mine
No-Doz rocks my socks. My friend Beck gave me one yesterday at about 2pm because I was really tired and stressed out, and I stayed up until 2:30am doing work without getting the whole heavy eyes, sleepy brain thing that I normally do at that time. I think this is awesome because I always seem to function better at night but paradoxially I'm one of those people who can't go without sleep. Win!
(I don't intend to get addicted though. It was interesting to see that they actually work.)
I am so over assessments. I've still got two 2000-word essays due between now and 11.30am Wednesday, which I actually find really interesting but I keep having the same problem: I do all my research and then sit down to write an essay with far too much information and quotes at my disposal, and I freak out because I haven't taken a specific enough approach. Thus my essays are always a bit higgledy-piggledy. Oh well. Something I think I have to work on, goshdarnit. The topics are really interesting though; one is to investigate a subculture using cultural studies (the Mods, yeeow! I would have loved to be a part of that crowd, so stylish, so sharp, so...mod); and the other is looking at Generation Y/digital youth culture and the various discourses surrounding it., which is something I actually enjoyed researching. Just wish I had a better approach. Hhhrmmm. Can't believe I'm basically on holidays from 11.30 Wednesday morning! Don't know what my plans are; I hope to stay here a little while and do some exploring. Even though I live in Sydney I feel like I haven't made the most of it so I intend to do so. I think on Saturday Alice, Bec & I are having a tourist day, going to the aquarium and wildlife centre, vintage shopping in Paddington and roaming around the inner city/Rocks. Should be awesome fun; I might have to invest in some of those tourist-y things like a flat hap, zinc and big thick camera strap to hang around my neck :)
How's everyone else going?
