It’s been a bit of time since i’ve given this thing a proper update.
Believe it or not, I’ve actually been busy doing uni work! Just battling through a Physics lab now.. it’s not hard.. just time consuming! So another day of battling tomorrow.. might have it all done.
Let me see.. it’s been almost 10 days since I gave a nice thoughtful entry. In my life, there’s always a lot happening, whether I want it to or not. I still haven’t gotten all my invites out for my 21st. I am so slack! And the money.. well.. it’s not rolling in like I want it to. Whilst I seem to get a decent income with Youth Allowance and work, it seems as though everyone wants a piece of Gussy. Well, at least a piece of his wallet. I returned some videos today, some over 2 months late. They rang me and wanted to “talk to me about monies owing”. I wonder how far they will take it before they give up? Reckon they’ll send over the hired goons to break my thumbs? For late video fees? Keep in mind I’m a serial offender. Without exaggeration, I think I have late fees at over 12 separate video stores around Sydney.
I have a lot I need to save up for. Gliding Club annual subs are due. Rest of deposit for 21st needs to be paid. Save for Melbourne trip. Save for Junior Nationals. I’m determined to go to that now! It’s about time I got back into competitive gliding again.
Excuse me if I seem scattered, but as usual there’s a lot on my mind. On the uni front, I’m starting to get back into it, and it looks as though I’m going to have to put in some serious work if I’m not to fall behind again. On the domestic front, I’m faced with another problem that i’m unfamiliar with how to handle. I’m having trouble trying to juggle my personal life / relationship with my uni. I’m sure it’s a problem that a lot of us face, but I have a lot of trouble saying “no” to someone I love so much, without it being mistranslated as “I don’t want to see you”. It’s all about Time Management, Gus. I mean, let’s face it here: it’s your biggest weakness and something you need now more than ever.
As it stands, I am attempting one of the hardest and most time-consuming courses that the University offers. B. Engineering and B. Commerce simultaneously. 25 hours at uni per week on average, not including work at home. On top of that, I’m working at least 2-3 shifts a week. And I try to devote a few nights, plus a day to my bf. Somewhere in the middle, I’m doing all my house domestics, cooking and cleaning and all the good things a HouseHusbandâ„¢ does. I can do it though.. it just requires me to bite the bullet and be ruthless about when I’m going to do things. I always thrive on being busy, and this should be no exception.
This is just another test, methinks, and in a way it ties in with a lot of the talk I had with Dave on Sunday. I really enjoy having Dave around. Knowing each other as well as we do, it’s nice to be able to talk extremely deeply and philosophically about Life, The Universe, And Everything. He read my little essay on Fatalism. (Protected as Friends-Only), and had some good comments on that. It’s nice sometimes to have someone who actually reads it and considers it rather than skip over it because of the importance of the topic. Again, as mentioned in that article, the crisis of Time Management is something that has been put in front of me, and I have to find a way to overcome it and improve myself. I shall embrace it, and use it rather than let it slip and allowing myself to fall apart at the seams as has happened in other semesters.
Sleep time now. Seeing the p-doc tomorrow for a little catch-up session nice n’ early in the morning.
P.S. Cold is now mostly gone. Proved that my method works. As soon as you get it, hit it hard with everything in the arsenal. My trick was 6-hour Demazin, 3000mg of garlic and a multivitamin twice a day. Garlic works wonders!
