NZ

I'm still up late trying to finish this law assignment thats due in about 12 hours.. As I'm doing it, my Queenstown screen saver on my PC is ticking away (I'm using the iBook atm), and I just thought I'd state how incredibly amazing that town is. I was supposed to blog my journal of my trip to NZ, but I still haven't yet. I'll hopefully get to do it later and put a link to it from the front page. Although, that may take template editing and I suck at that.

Anyhows, I truly am in love with that quaint little town in the middle of NZ's south island, and I soooo can't wait to go back :) Its also funny because the topic of my assignment deals with the Remarkables ski field :P

rambling thoughts

I need to randomly note down some things.. as my blog tends to be rather sparsely populated with posts atm..

I made my first staff purchase at work, hehe. Man Utd kit, home shirt. It rocks to the max dagnabbit. Hope they win tonight.. I was considering staying up till 1am to watch it.. tho that would mean I won't actually sleep until after 3.. which may not be that good considering I have class at 9am, haha

I have this mega long 15-20min presentation for law due on wednesday... which I'm reaaaallyy worried about actually as I don't really know how to find cases to back up any arguments! hmm.. its worth 20%.. tricky ayy

I'm like in half a mood to put in some depressing thoughts at this point.. but I can't seem to gather them... haha.. I have no idea why...

I just seem to feel like hiding under a rock for a little bit, I think have a reason, but its just a bit like its at the edge of my consciousness.. its there but I can't form it into words...

I dunno, my last few weeks have been quite possibly the most interesting of my life for a long long time.. what does this mean for me? I don't know, do I look like I can predict my life effectively? I have no idea what I want to have for lunch tomorrow.... hmm, that makes me sound really random and unprepared for things ay.. its not that bad.. but I'm way over trying to predict what will happen to me, when I've done so in the past it's just gone all pear-shaped.. so I've just tried to trust God with what will happen, whatever happens.

I realllllly need to get back to try and write songs.. I'm lacking a release point for my thoughts... then again, I've never actually had any really good stint of song writing, so that could be why I've never had a good release of my thoughts :P

Never fear, for my thoughts will indeed fly flittingly into the wind in a midst of melody (at some points) and tonally consistent open string guitar chords.
Preferably in the key of G with some D/F# chords and stuff.. that chord is the best

hmm, this ramble just sounds odd now, so I'll sign off

take a deep breath

ohhh man
FINALLY, a night that I can like relax (thought I still have to do some study).
Since I've gotten my latest job a couple of weeks ago, I've been so completely flat out, and it looks like much of this semester will be like that.
If you have the patience to read my blog, given the infrequency of updates, then you may remember where I set out my timetable last semester. Much of the time actually consisted of bludge time, which would explain how incredibly broke I am as I didn't work all that much. Now that it looks like my timetable has settled down and my job is working out great, I'll set out my timetable for this semester.

Monday -
6 something: Wake up to get the 7:20ish bus. This bus (hopefully) gets into the city around 8.30, allowing me to walk leisurely (and therefore free) to uni by 9.
9am-12pm: Management Skills seminar
12pm-1pm: Credo Small Group
1pm-4pm: Lunch and study and bludge
4pm-6pm: Credo SG leaders forum
6pm onwards: Go home, bludge/study, sleep

Tuesday -
5:50am: Wake up and try and get the 6:35ish bus. I try and get to uni about 7:40am
8am-9am: Credo committee meeting
9am-1pm: Format committee meeting minutes, do some study
1pm-2pm: Credo public meeting
2pm-5pm: Operating Systems lecture (there is sooo much content, there is hardly any break time at all)
5pm-5.30ish: Credo Chill Room
6pm onwards: Go home, bludge/study, sleep
9ish: Play tennis with normo guys maybe

Wednesday -
Sleep in (the only day I can really do this)
Miscelleneous things either at home or uni
1pm-4pm: Law and the Digital Economy Seminar
4pm onwards: Go home, bludge/study, sleep
This day is probably the best day I have for any sort of social outing.
Whether I have any opportunity to is another story, hehe

I made myself available to work at the hotel on Tues, Wed and Sat nights. I have no idea how buggered I'd feel if that availability actually translated into actual shifts. Or if theres any point to working this much. Apart from the extra money that is, hehe

Thusday -
6 something: Wake up to get the 7:20ish bus. This bus (hopefully) gets into the city around 8.30, allowing me to walk leisurely (and therefore free) to uni by 9.

12pm-4pm: Study and stuff
4pm-9pm: Work at Rebel

Saturday -
7 something: Wake up to get the 8:23am bus from Oakes.

Thats about it. Man that took a while to write. Its because I'm doing this while watching the Man Utd vs Villa match... which we won! Wooot! Go Ruuuuuud!

I should go now and attempt to look at my OS assignment
