Post exams
I have been meaning to update my journal for quite a while, but i have to repeat what jimpy said a few posts back of getting bored and quickly moving on to something else.
Then again my life hasn't been all that exciting. I have finally finished university though, and that was both exciting and a little wierd. Officially im a 'Graduand' a graduate in waiting....i think its such a wanky term. It all kind of just happened last week. I have my first exam on monday followed by my ancient history exam on tuesday and then finally archaeology on Thursday. The exams I all found do-able and quite easy to complete (though i say this before actually receiving my grades yet....who know how i may have gone). I think this will be the first semester where i will get mostly credits on my transcript. This will most probably sound very wanky, but for someone who's average is distinction/high distinction to see mostly C's on the transcript will be something new, albeit somewhat grounding. But then again, I don't really think i put in the hard yards this semester to receive my usual grade. This semester was after all the hardest I think i have had whilst at uni, having been arrested, no actualy stable job....it all i think fucked me up....
So now I'm back in the real world, and my main focus is trying to obtain a job. For now i dont think i will continue on with Honours any time soon and so I'm searching for something more permanent, while some may say I'm more employable due to my degree, how majors in Classical Archaeology and Ancient History will assist me in landing a job i ACTUALLY like that is not within the academic world is frankly beyond me, and i still am to see them actually help me in something....
I'm still seeing my Walker. He actually had an accident the night of my birthday, which resulted in a broken arm in 4 different places. As a result, I have offered my assistance and have lived between my house and his apartment in gay old Pottts point. The fact that he has been injured, has somewhat brought us closer together, and has had a positive effect on what is going on between us. We sleep together without having sex (which is quite nice sometimes), we grocery shop together as well as cook and do other little things together....some would look at me in disgust and call me 'so hetero'
But for the time being it has been a nice, and interesting relationship, one, if not the most normal relationship i have had with another man. As his arm mends it will be interesting to see how things develop between us, and whether i can deal with the stupid and nagging insecurities that go through my head....
