Sneaky bastards
They intentionally make the site slow so that 56K users upgrade to broadband.
I’m trying to pay a bill, and each page is taking up to a minute to load, even if there’s not much on the page.
Grrr
And in other news….
Got a call from the scholarships office today… they will be reviewing my scholarship in front of the Dean, and with the letter I sent to them, there is a good chance that I will be re-approved! Not certain yet.. I find out next week, but I could really use that money. It could at least buy textbooks!
Woke up this morning to find 900 extra dollars in my account. My mind boggled, until I realised that it was rent day. *cries*
All in all, things going ok so far… Just keep swimming, just keep swimming..
Ok. I really really just want this all to end. I’m sick of me having to be stressed. I’m sick of having to do all-nighters in the first few weeks of uni because i’ve got so much on my plate. I’m doing so much better than last year, but it just keeps getting worse. At least, I think it’s better than last year. I can’t be sure anymore.
This is what is troubling me at the moment.
I’m already behind in uni. It’s been just shy of two weeks. Not because I’m slacking off. I simply have not had time to even do any homework assignments.
The rifle club is in legal trouble. The cops are threatening to shut the club down. The rest of the committee talk a lot, have all these grand plans to resurrect the club. Who’s the only one with the power to pull the club out? Who is actually running the club and having to liase with the police, the MDRA, the NSWRA, the Sports Union, the club members? Yes, that’s me
I have two entire websites to write in a short amount of time. I still haven’t had time to write the entire website for Dad’s mate that I’m getting paid for.
Am in serious financial trouble. Youth Allowance is just not cutting it anymore. I can’t afford textbooks, and am having trouble paying the bills. Can I get a job? Well, you’d think so. But then I lose youth allowance if I earn anything above the ridiculous.
I have a post-menopausal bigoted mother ringing me 4 times a day demanding things be done immediately and abusing me, telling me that I have to get my act in gear and that unless I shape up she’s going to stop helping me with rent.
I have to still go to see the university and beg for my scholarship back. They are witholding payment until I go in and see them. Even though I paid my own good money to make up the subjects in summer school, they won’t keep me on.
I’m so stresssed i’m not eating properly again. Missing breakfast. Slapped-together lunch.
The gliding club is demanding more money because of some clerical error that they didn’t charge a flight. I have not any money to pay them.
I just don’t need all of this. I really don’t. I’m trying to knock everything over one by one, but more just keeps getting added onto the pile.
Please, someone just make it go away.
Wow. For the first time in my life, I have decided to pick up a copy of DNA (no I didn’t buy it… I maintain my pride there… Wade left it on my desk and naturally it’s distracting me from my work *coughs*)
Interesting… Page 24 of issue #48 has tips on what not to do whilst dating. Some are so true.
1. Never use the “L” word. Know that one.
2. No Ex talk - Been caught out with that one before
3. Never introduce him to your fag hags – My fag hags love me… I can understand why it’s a danger, but I seem to always benefit from it…
4. Never introduce him to your homosexual posse - Oh this is a dangerous one… has happened to me before. Gay guys are bitchy. NEVER do this!
5. Never frequent gay bars together – Funnily enough hardly anyone i’ve been out with has been to stonewall more than once.
6. Avoid the lovey-dovey text message - Ok… I am horrible at this. I always put in “xxoo” at the end of my messages. I LOVE recieving these… maybe that’s why I do it. Hmm. Explains a lot!
7. Never get more trashed than he does - Not a problem
8. Hold off on the sex - Ok. That’s something I have trouble doing.. but if it’s a nice guy it’s worth it.
9. Never over commit – I hate this about gay guys. The minute you mention the word “boyfriend”, they’re off.
10 Play the Game – Treat ‘em Mean, Keep ‘em Keen – Yeah, except I’m the one being treated mean. I don’t know how this works. If I’m treated mean, I look elsewhere. Like holy shit… if they do that they’re not worth it. I have no idea why “treating ‘em mean” is a method to keep them interested.
So as you can see.. there’s no wonder I keep fucking up! I’ve had to learn nearly each one of those the hard way. Sometimes I wish that was a mandatory part of school… dating techniques! Holy shit it would be more useful!
