(no subject)

My life is so crap at the moment! Its my own fault, I should have seen this coming by deciding to go to uni. All of last week and this week i've done nothing but work on essays/assignments. They just pile up all at once, i've had no time for anything or anyone else. Usually me and my cousin hang out on fridays, i had to skip that idea and usually my weekends are ok but this weekend that just passed was full of last minute essay writing. Uni essays are so hard! Its not like tafe or school, especially history subjects, every sentence you take from a book whether paraphrased or not, has to be referenced, you have to have footnotes stating whose book it's from, the author, chapter, page and publisher! I'm starting to get used to it, but sometimes i'm so intimidated cos some of the people in my classes are so unbelievably smart that it frightens me to ever speak up for fear of sounding like a fool.

Anyway I don't know how i got through my major essay at the last minute but i did, my friend got an extension, she's so lucky, but now i'm the lucky one cos after handing it in on monday that's one less thing to worry about. Today (Tuesday) I have a test for critical thinking. I've been so behind in that subject lately, i've missed a few lectures and a tutorial cos i just couldn't be bothered, i'm never going to get lazy like that again! All i can hope for is that i pass, i managed to pass my last 2 tests but this one i'm most worried about because as i said i'm behind. Then on thursday i have to do a tutorial presentation to the class and i haven't even started preparing for that because i've left everything to pile up at the last minute.

On Mondays i finish at seven but i wait at the library til 8 cos my cousin finishes at that time and he has a car on mondays so we go home together. So while i was waiting for him i went to find some books that i'll need for my presentation, i ended up getting 6 thick books! I have to look through them and sort out what will help me with my topic, thank god i have wednesday off so i'm going to be spending that whole day putting it together so i can present it on thursday. I really hope i can get through it with minimal dramas. And I've so got to start taking the car to uni, it costs too much to catch 2 trains and the bus. So next week when i go watch spiderman 3 my brother reckons he'll let me drive to macquarie megaplex so i can learn the way there and that way i can start parking at macquarie centre when i go to uni.

Sorry don't mean to dump all my complaints here to depress anyone, i just had to let it out, things will pick up after thursday cos most of my assessments will be finished and my next one won't be due til mid June. But that'll teach me to leave my work til the last minute. Never again!
