The summer school grind

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

I was hoping I’d have one of those cool summers, you know, like people tell interesting stories about. And I guess I could have, except for two- no, three- things.

I went home, and spent way too much money.

Without the money I spent in NY, I’ve only got living expenses (almost).

and most important-

Because I screwed up last fall, I have to do chem over the summer. Yum.

Problem is, though, I haven’t been doing it. I’ve been walking around town, playing on the internet, reading, flipping out, thinking about getting a job, grocery shopping, dreaming about where I can move if I ever freaking graduate, talking to friends for hours on skype, talking to family for hours on skype, giving advice (why the heck would anyone ask *me*?), and on and on and on. I am a master procrastinator. Heck, I’ve even done laundry before I was out of clean clothes.

Now, tho, with just 4 or 5 weeks untill my exam, I’ve actually got to get back to work. I’ve done 1/5th of the work in 2/3rds of the time. Not a good pace. So starting tonight sometime, and going untill I have to clean tomorrow, so flatmate #3’s (of 5 or 6) mother doesn’t think *all* students live in ratshack dumps, I am going to study. And maybe sleep.

In fact, for the next couple weeks, I think that’s all I’ll be doing. But I *am* alive. I just won’t be outside much. blech.

lazy lack of fun.

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

I am out of money, and energy- that’s what I get for quitting soda (mostly) and not having a coffee maker. It’s also raining again, and I’m about 6 weeks behind on my summer school work, which means I have less than three weeks to learn 9 weeks of stuff, before I have to go kick ass, etc in labs and exams and all that fun stuff.

For new years I had a great time. I threw a little party, just me, a movie, some home made fries and a bottle or three of RC Cola. exciting, I know.

Today’s excitement includes hunting down open shops to buy junk food in so I don’t have to do dishes/ cook. Also, if the weather clears up, laundry.

The fireworks in the square were nice, tho. And loud. And free.

Too bad I melt in rain- weather’s perfect for a bike ride.

Delays

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006
So I *was* going to Wellington this morning. But I’m a dumb ass, and rather than writing my paper early this morning, so I could turn it in, I read smutty books. I think I need a nice solid boot ... [Continue reading this entry]

Roommate Hell- Again

Thursday, April 13th, 2006
[rant] So, I'm in NZ, right? Doing the school thing, right? And it's Autumn. Ok. Nothing wrong so far. So, last week, stress, not enough sleep, and not eating enough plus walking through the rain (or so I'm told) pushed me over the ... [Continue reading this entry]

The wind

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006
Ok, after a bit less caffeine (which I *don't* get to make in organic chemistry... drat), and rather more TimTams (mmmm chocolate) and a bit of a nap, I'm going to see things better, damnit! The wind's been blowing here a ... [Continue reading this entry]
