I'll procrastinate... Later.b_robOctober 8 2006, 10:59:07 UTC
You only need a day before an essay to finish it... or at least that's what I used to do. Journalism school, exciting.
And bass, very cool. So counting down the days until U2? But you came down to Christchurch and you didn't tell me? I'm going to have to go sulk now. *sigh*

I'm never motivated until the last minute but hey, that's just me.
It can't be any worse this time, you would have learnt from last time and if it did go horribly wrong you have plenty of material for an article about it. :P Ok, not what you want to hear but I'm sure it will all go fine. I believe it will, positive thinking and all that.
Yeah I thought you might be counting down. Are you getting more and more jazzed with each day that goes by?
Yeah, I knew you didn't want to see me and avoided me like the plague. Oh how very cruel and many other melodramatic monologues(read as 'whining'), oh and by the way. 021 162 9369
Sounds like you've cleared your mind, set a few targets, and there's a tone of determination and positive attitude tucked in there somewhere! Hope the next few weeks go well, Erin.
Therapy - often sooo useful. Years ago my pride would never have let me. I used to think it was for weird people. Now I understand that it's a brilliant tool for normal people. I've found it really enlightening at times and helpful. Depends on the therapist I suppose, but go for it!
Time for action - and, yes, get stocked up with those late-night treats for when you're working on assignments. I find I can set myself a good two-hour session of work, knowing that I'll treat myself when I hit the two-hour mark... before pressing on again.
Erin: She has the brain. She has the objectives. She has the resolve. She may not have the hunky guy down the road, but then again, for the next few weeks, that's an advantage.
She has loads of shit. Other people can see that. She should accept the strengths that other people see in her. Now - time to move up a gear?
Did you end up seeing a Christian therapist? See, I'm on the look-out for a decent Christian counsellor- cos I can't deny that my faith is a massive part of who I am, and I need someone who is going to give me some good spiritual counsel. However, I'm a little anxious that I'll end up with someone overly judgemental, y'know how it goes. Or someone with a stuffy attitude towards mental health issues. What was your experience like?
Yeah, I just thought it'd be a good idea to talk through some crap. Cos it's not been an easy year by any means.
Erin: She has the brain. She has the objectives. She has the resolve. She may not have the hunky guy down the road, but then again, for the next few weeks, that's an advantage.Yes. And Erin also has a lazy and sluggish streak, gets distracted easily, and has a few apathy and cynicism issues. This will be interesting

No he wasn't a christian but I took that into account in the things he said. The important thing for me wasn't his spiritual insights but his ability to really listen, identify issues, and ask questions that were designed to help me understand my own psychology a bit better
( ... )
So I'm kind of longing to incite the psych and get some kind of emotional response, and he's like... hmmm... yesss... interesting... carry on...
Uh-huh. I once went to see one of the free counsellors at our Student Health centre back in my first year of Uni, back when I was having serious issues with my self image, and I was practically screaming at the woman about how I hated my ex-boyfriend (yes, I know it sounds naff. Long story)...and she's just sitting there, smiling slightly, nodding away like one of those dog's you see in car windows, humming sympathetically. And I'm like, MAKE IT STOP!!! JUST GIVE ME ANSWERS!!! BLOODY WELL SAY SOMETHING!!!
Yeah.
Things with the family are better today, so I think the prayers worked! Thankee muchly. What would you say your main "love language" is. Me, I am most definitely Words of Affirmation. Give me one measley little compliment and I'm spinning out for days! Physical Touch and Quality Time are tied for second place. But what about you?
It was so good to catch up with you while you were here doll...I've jumped back on the LJ train so now I will be way better at keeping in touch

Chch hasnt changed much...blue_tiger25October 12 2006, 10:13:56 UTC
Hey. Was great to catch up with you. Sorry if I was away with the fairies at stages ... was PMSing and stressing (uni & life) ..... now its gone to over-it (well kinda) and just tiredness
( ... )
Re: Chch hasnt changed much...cabaiste84October 14 2006, 10:01:27 UTC
This. Essay. Can. Just. Piss. The. Hell. Off.
Yup, it's due 9am Monday (unofficial extension as well). And it's now almost 11pm and I haven't even written a proper plan out yet. Man, I suck at this game...
I do have some good ideas though. I have been thinking about it, honest... Just gotta...make it exist...
Expect a wee parcel in the mail soon.
Hope you sort the graduation bollocks out soon. Do you really think you're going to fail?

*sigh* Trust me, it's looking very likely that will be the case. Why do I always do this to myself?
Journalism school, exciting.
Yeah. And this time it better work out, since my last experience was the stuff nightmares are made of.

Dude, I've been counting down since bloody March already! 45 days to go now...
But you came down to Christchurch and you didn't tell me? I'm going to have to go sulk now. *sigh*
Mate, that'd mean I'd have to go and visit you...and I couldn't risk that happening could I?! Jokes...I think. :P
What's your cellphone number?
