So, my essay is finally going somewhere. I get to write about blogging. Sometimes I love being a media student. At the moment, I can't be bothered to actually reference and crap though, so the big work will come later.
I'm wearing my jeans. I think I like them, but I really need to get them shortened. They drag along the floor, which isn't so bad when I'm inside, but yesterday I got wet up to my knees when walking home from James' place. He actually tried them on the other night, and they fit him perfectly. I hate when other people try on my clothes and I usually think it looks better on them. That's probalby just me being self-critical though (is that even a word?). Being girls' jeans, they were a bit tight around the crotch (his butt looked good though!). Otherwise, they just looked like normal jeans, the right length and everything. His clothes are always five sizes too big for me, so I'm going to put it down to the fact that I'm a girl and I have "womanly" hips, even if I'm not particularly curvy.
That's my story. Otherwise, as always, nothing is new. I can't wait till the 23rd when I'm done for the semester. Hooray for three months of holidays (even if I will be working). Mum's finalizing my flights over Christmas and everything. I'm looking forward to seeing them, and to Thailand over new years with James and the others.
I think I need lunch. And more Diet Cokes, I'm all out. Yes, I'm addicted, but when it comes to studying, I need it.
Wednesday night, which means Spicks & Specks and pizza at James' place. It's the only thing he knows how to cook (well), and the only thing we both really watch regularly on TV, I love that show. Right now, The Glass House is on though, and I really hate that show so I'm hiding in his room going on the Internet. Hooray.
Today's been boring, I didn't get very much work done, so I'll have to do all the more tomorrow and on the weekend. James is going back to Geelong tomorrow though, so at least he won't be around to distract me. Gemma and Erin are leaving again for Dookie on Friday, which means the house will be nice and quiet over the weekend too. Good for studying/essay-writing.
There seriously isn't that much more to write - this is why I've given up on so many livejournals! I've decided to keep my jeans, well, James decided for me by ripping the tags off. I'm just way too indecisive.
Twenty-two days till I'm done with second year (only 3 more to go!). Twenty-seven days till I start my new job. I want Christmas already!
So, there's a spider in my room. And I'm home alone. This means that I've dragged out a mattress and am camped on the lounge room floor since I can't handle getting rid of it or sleeping in my room. If I'd discovered it earlier, I would have either dragged James over or gone over there myself. Psh.
I was supposed to have a meeting at Portable today, but it got cancelled. I was already in the city by then so I went jeans shopping. I hate jeans shopping. It's painful and you never find anything that fits properly. Either way, I bought myself a pair of Levis. They're completely different than any of my other jeans, so I'm still unsure. I figured I'd buy them and wear them around the house with the tags on to decide. It's a bit cheeky, but I don't care.
Otherwise, I'm supposed to be studying for exams/writing essays but so far, it's been a pretty slow start. Tomorrow's my set "essay-writing day" for Media Futures, so hopefully I'll get something productive done. Since it's a report, it's pretty structured too, so I don't have to plan it in as much detail.
House mates come back tomorrow from Canberra. I've enjoyed having the house to myself especially during Swot Vac when you've got nothing to do but stay home and study. Maybe now Gemma can save me from the spider at least?
Full day at uni today. Nine to four. When i got home I was completely exhausted. And then I think that I used to do that everyday (how did I do it?) and people work longer than that everyday. The uni lifestyle really spoils you. Twelve hours a week? Oh yeah.
I had an interview yesterday for a summer job, a marketing internship for a software company. I'm keeping my fingers crossed because it sounds like good experience and it's well-paid even if it may be a bit boring. It went okay, probably not fantastically, but definately okay. Hopefully Penny gives me a good reference though and they like my writing.
Big Market Research assignment due on Friday. It's a group project and I'm sure we'll be fine, but right now, I'm just doing the boring big - pasting the statistics output into our document and writing what it means. Time-consuming and annoying, even if it's very straight-forward.
A couple of weeks ago I got myself a DS lite, after obsessing over James' (old and ugly) DS. I can't stop playing it, and on Monday my new pretty case arrived for it. See the (slighty blurry) picture below. I should really learn to use my camera properly.
Speaking of cameras, I finally decided to install the software that came with my camera so that I can organize my pictures a bit better on my computer (right now, it's all windows explorer!) Annoyingly enough, I just can't find the disc that came with it. I've got all the various instruction booklets, but the disc is nowhere to be found! And as far as I remember, I just put it with all the other stuff.
For some reason, I broke the rule the other day and bought myself "The Time Traveler's Wife". I'm not sure why, maybe it was the blogs I'd been reading about it. Maybe it was just 'cause I was having a bad day and wanted something to cheer myself up. Either way, I'm glad I did.
I finished it last night, less than 36 hours after I started it. It's one of those books you just can't put down. Now, I'm not saying it's the greatest piece of literature ever written (although I didn't get put off by the clunky language which is quite unusual), but it certainly got it's point across.
In short, I loved it, despite crying my eyes out on more than one occasion and just wishing James was there for me to hug. Of course, he's rated it "Not for Elin".
