home alone + uni results + new lease
I'm in this house alone tonight. I've gone to sleep alone before when I've gotten sick of waiting up for Mark. But I've never woken up alone. This is a first. Three months in a house and this is the first time I'm by myself. I'm not scared. I'm a big girl now.
He's over with Daniel. Daniel's girlfriend is away for a week, which explains his holidays, the drinking, the Wednesday night poker game and why Mark is going out with Daniel tomorrow night while I go out with Ally. I don't get Daniel. I still think he's an asshole, he always will be. He complains about his girlfriend all the time, and goes nuts crazy when she goes away. If he's that unhappy with her than I don't know why he just doesn't leave her.
I have wine to keep me company. And the internet. And the PS3 and some DVDs. I'm up to season six in Smallville now. I could always watch House. Or Loving Annabelle, considering I watched the first 20 minutes, got interrupted and gave up on it at that time. I finished the cross stitch, but there's a long stitch floating around downstairs. If I wasn't drinking and this tired I could try to do something productive, but I know that's definately not happening tonight.
I got my uni results back tonight. I got a distinction for psychology and writing, but only a pass for sociology. In a way the pass makes perfect sense, because I did next to no work for sociology. I could have researched my answers a hell of a lot more, and I think I had more common sense fluff than actual information in my answers. Still I was happy with them, but they weren't good enough. I was happily surprised with both distinctions. I don't kow what the mark for a distinction is, but I know it's pretty good. I didn't think I'd get much in psych because I'd hardly studied, but multiple choice likes me. The writing one also surprised me, but I did get some alright marks for my assessments. Writing didn't have an exam, it just had assignments throughout the semester, and I got better with each one. I also missed two quizes, but that obviously didn't have much impact on my overall result. I guess I'm pretty happy with it. The distinctions even out the pass. I got two credits last semester. I think the fact that we moved house had a big impact on my results. I really did try to study and get everything done but time just ran away. This semester will be different though. That and I've only got one unit to concentrate on.
The lease on our flat expired yesterday. I knew it must be getting close. We had thirteen weeks, and I've been through three pill packets (yes I keep track on my pill). Mark dug around and found the paper work, which told us that our lease finished yesterday. We rang them today while Mark was on his lunch break, and we're going in to resign the lease on Tuesday before we head to Newcastle. I don't know why they didn't ring us to let us know or organise a resign themselves, but for some weird reason they just lost track of us. It's weird, because they're a real estate agency and should be professional. But oh well, we're getting a new lease and staying. I was most worried about them kickign us out, but I know we've been good tenants. We've never missed rent and done everything right. We haven't had a house inspection, and our place is a mess most of the time. We keep it clean though. It's just messy, not dirty. So yes, now there's a very good reason to get things sorted out and move more stuff over. We're going to be here for another six months at least. I joked to Mark that if he ever broke up with me we'd have to just live with each other until the lease was up because neither of us could afford to live here on our own.
Today marked the end of my seven day working streak. Thank god. I'm tired, but not as tired as when I worked ten and called in sick on the tenth. Work has been steady. Today was 3-8, yesterday was 7:30-4:30, Wednesday was 6-3, Tuesday was 11-4, Monday was 5:30-10:30(am), Sunday was 1-6 and Saturday was 6-3. I've got the weekend off. It was so good today knowing I didn't have to do anything until 3pm. I did a lot of cleaning though because I thought we'd have an inspection. I got up late and did some reading and even wrote a big blog.
I'll probably go to bed early tonight. For some reason I've been really tired today.
And on a closing note; one of these days I'm going to write an entry about porn.
