I can't believe I've only been in class for two weeks and I already have a midterm on Wednesday. Biochemistry is interesting. I like the class. But it totally wears me out, especially on lab days (mon, wed, fri

whoa whoa whoa don't even get me started on those core classes!!! Ok so I started at starbucks in AUGUST AND I'm still on starting wages!!! I didn't even get those stupid core books until LAST MONTH and each time I complain to take those classes so I can get a pay rise and that they are illegally having me train people and that I shouldn't be working on starting wages when I've been there longer than everyone [except the store manager] then they say that they'll get me in "next time" and next time has come and gone twice! So to answer your question, yes, I did have to do that, but I haven't yet...and it's almost been a year since I started.

To solve the heat - get a white burka, cuz ummmm thats what other cultures wear in the desert?? OR get one of those hats with a fan attached to it and spritz yourself with cold water on your way there or drink ice water/slather yourself in cool mint gel.

Kewin was staying at our friend's flat for a month first year. It really sucked, get some ear plugs and a sleeping mask, and talk to them. Say that you love them but on school nights you would appreciate it if things could settle down before midnight (or 11 which I think is pretty reasonable). If you don't want to talk to them then you could leave big hints and say things like OH IM REALLY TIRED I THINK IM GOING TO START GOING TO BED, if that doesn't work then take naps (or sleeping pills hehehe). I'm sure it is somewhat annoying for them having another person there so make sure you help out with chores and stuff so they are happy to comply with your wishes. Good luck & remember it is only temporary :)
