A Crap Week

I have a confession to make.

When I enrolled for uni, I knew it would be a lot freer. And that there would probably be a lot of work to do. And that travelling time would tire me out even before enduring a series of 45 minute classes would.



But I wasn't ready, nor was I informed of the crazy amount of reading I would have to do!!



I just went in for my english tutorial today, and before that, I had to read 18 pages for text. Eighteen pages. And the writing wasn't set at a nice humane font either. It was inhumanely small and all 'times new romans-y'. With lots of words I'd never even heard of before, and an unhealthy amount of pre-1950s movies that I'd never even heard of before, being used as examples. All of that put together just made english class suddenly seem worse than usual.

I already miss Mr. McInerny's teaching. And it's only been two weeks of uni. How will I survive like this??

So majorly uberly jealous of MSHS kids who're hogging Mr. Mc's amazing talent all to their greedy, underserving, unappreciative little selves right now.

I was also completely unprepared for the way I would have to go after my own assignments rather than letting the assignments come to me. I've never had to rely on a computer so much in my life for my work. To the point where I would rather be away from the computer than near it. This is quite a difference from what I was doing in high school!



Then, I tried to change my service provider. I was previously on Telstra which was alright all through high school because I barely messaged or called anyone, and could therefore survive on AUD20 a month. [And when you're working and paying for your own credit - suddenly 20 bucks a month is actually a lot...] Then, in February, I somehow managed to use up AUD50 of credit in about 4 weeks.

50. 50. FIFTY!!

I'm still trying to figure out how I even reached that amount. But I decided that if that was how much I was going to spend at uni from now one [and hey, March hasn't ended yet, but it's very likely], I needed a better service provider.
I bought and attempted to install an Optus sim card three days ago. I still haven't been activated under Optus yet.

I'm ready to kill both service providers.

I was told I'd be able to use it by 10am tomorrow. If not, I will go to someone, complain and most likely abuse whoever is in charge of Optus for such crappy horrendous service. I've been wandering around Perth without a way to contact anyone for 3 days. This should be illegal!

On the plus side - I found the most amazing spot to sit, relax and even study *sigh* if need be.

Better start hoping my friends will always be available to enjoy it with me then. =)

PS. Refering to my last post - I've just realised how many people at uni are old friends.

I'm afraid. This is quite a number. =/
