Woot for posting from uni.
I came in early to go to this Education Abroad meeting but it sucked ass so I decided to skip it. Honestly, for something as fun sounding as an exchange program, their promotions are a little lack luster. Hopefully, I won't have to stick around Swinburne for too much longer.
So I've been working shitloads lately. I worked yesterday (Labour Day = public holiday = lots of money) and I'm working every other day this week, unless they call me in. Uni work is also piling up. I've got 2 assignments already and a ton of homework as usual. It's funny because when I didn't do the work, I was oblivious to the load but now when I'm doing it, I realise there's really not much time to stuff around. Funnily enough I'm not that annoyed, I'm actually pleased that I'm on top of the work this time. It's a good feeling that I'm doing something right this year =).
I'm going for driving lessons. Yep, you heard it here first. Not a big deal, I know, but no one understands how badly I want... no I NEED a car right now. I don't know why I didn't have the motivation to drive earlier but it's overwhelming. A car shall set you free. I'm hoping to get my license by about July/August. And on manual. Auto is for pussies! The car shall come around that time also. Maybe before, maybe shortly after, but it will come.
I officially quit World of Warcraft (or WoW as I often refer to it) last night. I said my final goodbyes in-game and had some good D&Ms with some of the guild mates I've gotten to know very well. It was really hard with the constant "don't go" and "you can't leave" but I guess all good things must come to an end. I'm not really sure if I will ever go back to playing it but all I can say is that it feels liberating to be free of it's clutches. The addiction for me wore off a short while ago, more towards the beginnnig of the year. It's funny how it can get you blinded but once you realise, it's strange. Aah well, I still think it's one of the most successful pieces of software and a damn good game.
I better head to class now. Careers in the Curriculum is the biggest load of crap ever. It is worth 0 credit points, ZERO, yet it is still compulsory we attend 80% of classes and pass the pathetic excuse of a subject. Our other classes don't even have attendance requirements! I guess the guys running CIC know how much of a toss it is and without that requirement, no one would bother showing up.
