Life is good. Well, on most accounts anyway.
Uni's finally done for the semester, apart from exams and essays and all that crap. I doubt it'll be too bad though, as long as I stay on top of everything. I just finished my study schedule (it's in excel and colour-coded - I'm such a geek). It was quite sad having my last dance lesson of semester today. I'll try to keep going to the city over the summer though, and I'll definately continue next semester. The uni classes are better in general I think, but it's still so much fun.
I've also managed to get myself a job over summer. I don't start till after exams finish, it's well-paid and relevant to my degree, so it's pretty much perfect. Plus, they don't mind me going away over Christmas and New Years.
In perhaps less exciting news, first gig last night, and well, it was interesting. The keyboard died, which meant that for about half the songs I was just standing there doing absolutely nothing. Luckily I didn't screw up the parts I was able to do though.
Oh well. I've got three Threadless shirts arriving shortly (hooray for $10 sales!) and I'll soon be earning some money so I won't have to feel guilty about buying clothes (I need jeans and new Chucks, mine are broken). Some of the money will probably have to be spent on boring things like refridgerators and couches though seeing as I'll be homeless in a couple of months. Still no definite plans, I just want things sorted!
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.
