So my first semester of my second year of uni is OVER. Gah. I don’t think I could have lasted another minute of it. I hated my courses with the passion of a thousand burning suns, and have absolutely no interest in any of them.

My first exam is the 16th of June, and my exam period ends on the 28th. That evening, I’ll be going to the bar at Uni (”Shadows”) with a friend from one of my courses, simply because this semester has sucked more than expected, and we really need a stiff drink. Hah! We had a test on Wednesday for the course we share, and lets just say that it didn’t go down too well.

More Uni stresses, though. I haven’t quite finished an assignment yet. It’s due tomorrow afternoon. I don’t have much to do, just writing out some answers that I already have and making some summaries for it. Hopefully I’ll be able to finish it by the morning.

I had quite a nice afternoon. I tuned into the RadioxShow this afternoon. Elyse was hosting, which was particularly lulzy, and I enjoyed myself. James wasn’t really getting it, and was almost ready to hand over his headphones for me to use. Haha!

my paid posts are going well over at Sewwy.com. Hopefully my payments will start coming through, because money is getting quite tight :( I’m looking forward to being back in Sydney, to be honest… At least I won’t be paying for food! I fly back on the 30th of June, and I can’t wait! I’ll be doing a lot of partying and drinking and fun stuff whilst I’m over there, which I’m really looking forward to. :)

I need to go and apply for second semester courses now. :o!

It appears as if New Zealand has picked itself up and migrated south. Far south. Antarctica south. Auckland is absolutely FREEZING. I don’t think it got warmer than about 12C today. I’ve been sitting in James’s room rugged up, two heaters going… and I’m STILL cold. Hopefully the room warms up properly soon, or I might end up in bed very early just to stay warm!

So, I’ve not really heard any more news on my Granddad. Apparently my dad, aunts and uncles, are going to visit him in a few weeks. It’ll be good for them to see him, but I think it’ll be really hard on them too. :( I feel really sorry for my dad, but so proud of him the way he’s been handling all this stuff the past few weeks.

I’ve spent today studying. I still don’t understand much at all about chemistry, but hopefully the more I read over my notes and do practice questions, the more I’ll get my head around it. I really am looking forward to finishing this semester once and for all. It has most definitely been the semester from hell.

All this uni work and other crap that’s been going on is starting to wear me down. I’ve felt very lonely, and to be honest, quite depressed the last few days. I really hate feeling like this. Nothing seems to get rid of the feeling I get from it at the moment. Spending some time with James makes me feel a little better, but as soon as he goes back to his computer room the feeling comes back and I feel quite empty again. I guess it’s not really helping that I don’t know many people around here, and most of them are quite busy with their own lives. Hopefully I’ll be able to catch up with my friend, Trish, this week.

I think I’m going to start returning comments a lot more nowadays. I used to do it quite religiously years ago, but have gotten quite lazy in the past year. Within the next few days, i’ll start replying to some recent comments, and will keep it up too. :)
