27/4/12 Wow-ser

Of all the subjects I have done before and units I have taken, this particular one "Ethics and Global Issues" is easily the best choice I have made. Hard to properly describe but it has gotten to the point where I have become to question my views regarding various topics, in a sense it has open my eyes to the world. The guest lecturer I had today really put us on the spot and made express and defend our points of view. As daunting as that may sound, it would rather refreshing to have our opinion heard and expressed rather than just spurting out definitions all the time. Whilst what we discussed may not be not strictly something I will use in my professional career, I know that the very act letting us to think is something I will take from this unit. Already looking forward to next week and moreso the next fortnight when I believe I will have the same guest lecturer.

14/3/12 Fixed

Car finally had its minor service today although I was a little silly and forgot to leave the service book on the passenger seat so.. as a result it wasn't signed! Serves me right for putting in another place other than the dashboard drawer. No matter, I still got the receipt and I figure they will be able to just sign it in a matter of months.. it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I have a feeling I will fork out for a parking permit tomorrow for university... I figure I will be studying there for all 3 trimesters therefore it would be advisable I get one a.s.a.p to get the most value out of it I can possible get. On another note I probably will be purchasing my textbooks or at least consider it tomorrow also. Why is everything so expensive?... If only I could get a job that I pays me for doing nothing.. or as they say... If I do what I love then I will never work a day of my life.

13/3/12 Finally

I had that long awaited to the Dermatologist, I saw a different doctor to the one to the one I have been seeing purely so that I would been earlier. Seems like she did have some genuine concern and that she had a great idea of how to treat it. Basically after a long explanation, I have been given some cream for eczema and been told to avoid soaps and what not... in fact I have a list of things to avoid.

Really need to get on the ball with my uni work though, tomorrow I plan to pick up my permit and all the textbooks I need.

8/3/12 Happy B-day to ME

There we have it, another year gone. Hey... look I am 22 years old. Its hard to believe another year has just flown past. It has been a year of seemingly bad decisions but they have all come and gone. There is no need to dwell on the past. Forward is where I am looking and it should be the only place I should be looking. What I want to do with myself, where I see myself, and most importantly the steps I need to take to ensure that I get there.

I was the smartest person in the world and signed up for work on my birthday, meaning I was working for the first 6 hours of this glorious day BUT I pulled through because I knew after it was done I was going to have breakfast with Zoe. Rocked up for barely 2 hours with Mc Donalds in hand but you know what it was worth it. What ever little time I spend with Zoe is just wow, she is it. There will never be anyone else that makes me feel that way I do about her. Everyday I will strive to make myself a better person for you... because its what you deserve. Oh yes, that jacket you got me is just smashing. It was completely unexpected. Its so good, I am scared to wear it! I will be sure to take great care of it, count my word on it.

After a sad parting I had uni for a couple hours and literally crashed at home... I worked it out and I had been running for a good 18 hours without sleep. Some birthday effort right? Yeah I think so too. It wasn't over then... after a quick nap it was a family dinner and it was lovely. Had a yummy home cooked chocolate cake as well as crispy roast pork, chicken wings with fried rice. Take a look below.. Yummy huh?

I know myself better than anyone else and I know I hide how I truly feel sometimes, there have been times where I just feel down and regret some of the things I have done or the opportunities I have neglected to grab... but as I just mentioned there is no need to look back, only forward. For this year I refuse to let myself feel down and out, this type of thinking is counter productive, I will simply just dust myself off and get back up. It is the way it needs to be and its the way it should be. I have spent so much time coming up with excuses to put things off but no more, this marks my year of change. This year I will do what I can to be that person inside, the person I always wished myself to me.

 

So ends a great day, I am looking forward to my weekend more than you could imagine

6/3/12 Home Cooked Meal

Was a rather interesting day. Had me first day back at university and it was kind of cool. Ran into a old friend from last semester in one of my new classes. We wasted no time in getting together as a group for an upcoming assignment. Grouped up with 4 others as it was a big assignment worth 40% of our final grade, got all our e-mails, contract details and I have set up a Facebook group page to give us a easier method of communication.

Zoe. Zoe. Zoe.

It is her birthday tomorrow but I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to spend much time with her on her special day... so I decided to come over for dinner and spend a couple hours with her. Gosh I am so happy I did. She cooked a absolutely lovely home cooked meal. She is much better than I thought she was... full of so many surprises.  Look at this meal... I am looking forward to eating her meals in the future.. Maybe I will be able to cook for her myself one day?

I must say I am so happy she was pleased with her gift. Like I mentioned in an earlier post she moved into a new place and I knew, just knew she needed something like a vacuum cleaner heck she even mentioned it to me. Of course the apartment is too small to warrant getting a big one so I picked out a nice handheld one... with 18V I have no doubts it will get the job done. Just hope she will love her Christmas present... Already got one in mind. Am I thinking too far ahead?

One question I keep asking myself is how is something like her with someone like me? Am I worthy of such a person? She hopes so... and for that I am extremely grateful... I will do everything I can to make her as happy as I can and convince myself that I am deserving of such a person.

5/3/12 And so it begins

Another chapter closed and another one begins. What I am talking about is that my holidays have finished and yes that means my university semester has begun once again. Both excited and nervous. I have been rather slack in the studying department and I need to rectify that! I do have motivation now, and I am sure she will help me study... Won't she? As I keep saying I need to get my act and get organized. Lets go, 3 HDs this semester.

Gym training has been a little bit difficult as of late but time commitments and what not but I am still trucking along. I have a goal in mind and I know what I have to do. Just a matter of time till i get there.

Current workout progress is below....

15/2/12 One of those days

Went to visit my course adisor today to confirm that I had planned out my subjects correctly and low and behold I had. I was slightly worried when I went gone in but really thinking back I had a spent a lot of time trying to get it all correct and it was a relief he thoguht so to. So... my projected course will end at T2 of 2013, although I can finish as early as T1 of the same year if I opt to study 4 subjects opposed to 3. I will thnk it over for the time being, really depends on my circumstances later on.

Completely off topic it didn't come! I was kind of happy... I ordered a pair of really nice pillows of "Catchoftheday" and supposedly they were sitting at the Post office for pick up. So what do I do? I head down in peak hour to pick them up. Wait there for 15 minutes. Find out they can't FIND them and them go home. There goes about an hour of my day, just because I went to make a special trip to pick up my pillows. *sigh*. It is kind of amusing to think when we waste our time doing various useless things or actives we couldn't care less but when someone screws us over or wastes our time be it intentional or not, we get rather upset. There is some food for thought.

9/2/12 Not too flash

Just my listen my terrible skin has flared up again, for what reason? It beats me. Looks like a trip to the doctors asap. Contact dermatitis is a pain when you haven't the faintest idea what the cause is. Must say was feeling a tad self conscience  today and will no doubt will be like the for the next couple days... good thing I have a great poker face. I already have an appointment on Monday but I will see if I can change it to Saturday, I would've gone already but my GP has some really silly hours. Whilst I know its not her fault, it is due to her caring for her disabled child but sometimes hard feeling a little upset when you need to get something sorted as soon as possible. With this said I took the night off work and didn't gym today, I did feel a tad fatigued as well. Tomorrow should be better after a good nights rest.

On another note I am one step closer to getting my timetable completely sorted. I have worked out that I can finish my course Trimester 1 of 2014 which is definitely a  relief. I spent a while trying to figure it all out and I hope I got it correct. An appointment is already set with a course adviser next week... till then I will lock in the subjects I intend to do (which will be core units, so no matter what he says I will have a timetable worked out).

Oh yes, I should mention that my course is:
Bachelor of Business Information Systems
Major in Supply Chain Management
Major in Qualitative Business Analysis

Now this is sorted I have to work out just how many units I wish to study for the coming trimester, how much I want to work, how much I want to train and how much time I want to spend with my Zoe. Everything should be finalized by tomorrow. Will put pencil to paper for the time being.
