End of Summer

Okay so uni goes back next week, which means I'm officially OFF holidays. Which is a good thing, because I've been getting pretty bored and slack; especially cause I haven't been working...in fact I think I've had maybe 4 or 5 shifts all year..which sucks. -So I'm trying to find a new job...which isn't going great, but I'll work on it. It also isn't made any easier by the fact that I have a very messing schedule for uni this semester....I have a 7 hour break on a tuesday..that is not at all practical.

So in the last few weeks I have spent most of my time watching Scrubs...which this time last year I never would have dreamed I'd be watching and actually liking it! I'm currently up to season 5, I imagine it will take me a little while longer to get through it now that uni is back. -Which is a good thing :)
I've also been watching Will and Grace and am about half way through season 2. Not to mention the regular weekly watching of The West Wing...at least with that one we have been good and are not spending ALL day watching 10 eps again...which isn't that fun anyways in the end, cause its an awful lot of info to take in in a matter of hours...also it means we are getting closer to the end really quickly...which I'm not looking forward to at all. I guess its a major downfall of draging out 7 seasons over 1 weekly viewing..which could involve watching 1 or 10 episodes....on average I think its taking us about 4 weeks to get through a season...but man are we going to miss it when its over!

I don't know if its just that I'm so tired and mopey right now, but I wonder if there are things I should be doing instead of watching dvds...I imagine there are plenty of things I COULD be doing, but whether or not I'd actually be having a better time is questionable. Firstly I don't have enough money to be out all the time, and I don't enjoy it. I think I've just had that many unpleasant experiances at pubs and clubs and whatnot, that I was instantly turned off...not that I was ever that interested in the first place. I kinda wish I was, but I'm just not.
Going out places always seemed like too much work; organising to get there, get home again, what to wear...not to mention the fact that I always seem to attrack creepy people.

Okay well now I'm depressing myself...I must go find something fun and uplifting to watch or read on my computer :)

2009 Sucks!

Okay so I'm not having the best of times at the moment. I have had 1, yes 1, shift all year....so I'm broke, and starting to live off my savings..which is bad.
Also I have had problems with uni, with them not giving me credit for a subject I did last year. -Which I think is sorted out now...I'll be checking up on that in the next few days to make sure.
Also uni is ticking me off, cause they've scheduled all the classes badly - at least for me. I have a class and a lecture clash...which I can't get out of..and I can't really not do one of the subjects cause I'm running out of subject options.

So I am currently spending my time doing nothing. I've been sitting around, watching dvds, and spending time on the computer, okay not ALL day...but now that my sis is back at school and the weather is a little more bareable, its looking kinda pathetic.

I also find I'm staying up later than I want to, and sleeping in too. Its not good.
PLus with all the family issues, everthing is different this year. The traditions are long gone. Which is sad...I always knew they would stop...but it still sucks.

I also find I'm obesseing over things around the house too. Like organisation...I know I've always been a stickler for organisation, and whatnot...but now that I'm home all the time its getting worse.

Oh and there are also a few other things which suck about 2009...maybe I'm just having a bad month. Maybe things will get better. I will just have to keep working on that and hope that things work out. In the meantime, I'm just gonna keep coming up with distractions for myself.

At least there is one good thing about this year, my diet seems to been working out. I've lost 5 kilos since I started changing my diet back in October/November. And while that's not a huge loss for all that time, its pretty good for me - when you consider Christmas and New Years. I just hope I can keep it going. I'm not expecting huge changes, but at least I feel healthier too!
