Multitasking is an art.
Ok so here I am putting the final touches on my Lab Report that is due in tomorrow at 5pm. Fortunately this is the last assignment in my current lot and my last assignment ever isn't due till the 24th so I have a little breathing room on that one.
But last week, oh last week was not fun. Two assignments due, one essay, one...Stats assignment posing as a psychology assignment. Oh there was much crying, screaming and banging of the head against the desk with that one. Really don't know how Carl put up with me last week as I was liable to rip the head off of anyone who came near me when I was working. Oh crunch week is a horrible horrible time. It was basically at the stage where food was pushed into my office with a very long stick and the plates were returned half-devoured.
So yes, this time tomorrow I shall be a much happier camper because this assignment will have been handed in and therefore will no longer be my responsibility. And to be honest, this is actually a piece of cake because it's just writing up what we did in class and then bullshitting about the results. Unlike the stats one which involved really evil mathematics to get results that I didn't even understand. Yuck.
Is it any wonder I SLEPT through Stats in High School? Seriously?
Anyway what else is going on?
On Tuesday night, Carl and I are going out to dinner with Kay to celebrate his birthday/graduation. Should be good fun as Jared is coming up from Wellington.
Thursday night I have a 'try-out' at the restaurant for the Manawatu Golf Club. It's for a waitressing position there, which I've done more times than I can count. I don't really need the work, but the extra money will be good for the wedding fund, not to mention it's always good to have extra cash in case of emergencies. Especially since my cat is now due for her yearly check-up/vaccinations and that will probably be $200 easily. Plus, wedding fund, nuff said.
On the 21st, I have my face-to-face interview with the Warehouse Regional Manager and someone high up in the HR department for the Store Manager Development program. I really do hope I get into this program as it will be a really good opportunity for me to develop myself and my natural leadership skills that everyone else seems to think I possess. The only downside is that it will involve me traveling and spending anywhere from 6-18 months in different locations. And while that's great cos, hey it gets me out of Palmy, it does mean I'll have to be apart from Carl cos he obviously can't just pick up and follow me.
And part of me worries just how well we'll both cope with that kind of physical separation. I guess we'll just revert to what we did that first summer when we first started dating and just txt each other every day until our thumbs fall off. Plus it's not like I won't be coming home as often as I can to see him - but that depends more on WHERE I end up. Coming here for a visit from somewhere like New Plymouth is one thing, but from somewhere like say ChristChurch it's completely another.
I mean I know I'll be fine - mostly. But Carl's been having a rough kinda time this last month and I don't want to leave him on his own in case things get worse. He says he'll be fine but I still worry. Is that wrong?
I don't know.
One more bridge to cross when I come to it I guess.
Anyway, that's all that's happening at this time in my ever so exciting life. Just thought it was about time I actually posted in this thing again as I've been REALLY slack.
Wish me luck for these assignments. Cos once they're all out of the way, exams loom just over the horizon. Yuck.
Or even better, wish me luck for this job interview. I'm going to need it.
