    • ]]>     University started back on Monday, I’ve only just opened myuni website, to discover I got kicked out of a subject! Apparently I had not undertaken enough courses, as I am doing it part-time and have just one subject left of my second year (which I’m undertaking this semester.) Augh! This beginning of semester could not have gone worse! Library fines, not finding out results, getting kicked out of subjects. Anyway, I hope everything is ready and set to go for the semester.
    I’m doing ‘International Marketing’, ‘Brand Management’ and ‘Occupational Health and Safety Management’. I’m really looking forward to brand management, I hope it is quite hands on, and instructional.
    I have a habit of leaving studying to the last half of the semester and I’m realising entering into third year subjects I just can’t do that this semester. I’m ready to try and get organise (and ask for some time off from work if I need it).

    A few weeks ago I mentioned my bad weeks. It seemed have faded for about a week. It seems to be back. I’m not even sure if it went away and is coming back, or if it just faded for a while I had a few good days and hasn’t gone away. I tend to either get sick and ignore everything and fail, or ignore life and do okay in university. How am I supposed to know which one is the way to go? This is all a bit too real for me right now, so I’m going to leave it there, and maybe right a bit more when it starts to make more sense to me.

    I got a little distracted from Taciturnly, as I was trying to get my new site up and running. It is now! It is a review site! And awaiting some vivid readers with some outrageous (and normal) opinions.

    Do I Keep It?

    Josh Nunn just did a guest review for the site (and also came up with the name of the site)! Would love if any one else would like to do that as well! It’s nice to have a range of products from a range of people, especially as it’s just getting off the ground.

Three exams in five days, and finally finished. I had nearly a week off work. The longest I’ve had off since Jan 2008. Thanks to the joys of being casual, and not having holidays (which also means I don’t get paid!)

    While waiting to be let into the hall at Royal Adelaide Show Grounds for my exams, I watched a trio of students who were middle aged and professionally dressed, walk through a normal looking bunch of Uni students. One of them walked in to a young fashionably dressed girl, I watched expecting her to apologise or sheepishly grin. Except she just looked at him, he looked sheepish and she looked back to her friends, now I’d say this was an example of “kids these days” but I actually thought it was more the fact he was outnumbered. There were a bunch of uni students, and only a scattered amount of professionals. I liked that the people I’m intimidated by can be just as intimidated when they are outnumbered.

    And just to make this a little more fun…
