Tales of Life-Desu. ^_^

I honestly believe I’m getting fiercely defensive about my uni, I don’t know if this is a bad thing. But I guess it’s pride in the uni you go to I suppose. If I didn’t enjoy what I did and what I’m going to do, I probably wouldn’t be enjoying my time at uni as much.

So when people mock UTS or something along those lines I just get all worked up and mad. I like it, it’s where I study, it’s where I’ve met heaps of people and it’s always been my list of goals. I mean, I’ve completely overlooked the whole “Ugliest building” remark, just because I’m almost always inside so I can’t see what anyone’s complaining about. We have our own issues internally and what not. But I mean, in my experience, it’s been a lot better organisation ways compared to UWS. In the administration/organisation sense I mean, UWS is an okay uni - People just give it too much shit for having “Western Sydney” in the title.

But yeah, I like my uni and though it feels like I’m just going to school with longer commute times, I enjoy it. That’s all that matters and I shan’t let other people’s opinions about my uni bother me all that much. It’s so petty, it’s like the way you made fun of the neighbouring schools in the area when you were younger and you’d get all riled up about it.

I’m happy here, and overlooking any issues I find, I’m having a grand ol’ time. c:

So, I’ve received some of my assessments back and completed some presentations. According to my schedule for uni, I don’t have any more assessments for the next three weeks. I’m healing faster from that earlier aggravated tendon two weeks ago and I’m skating again.

I have a fun run of 10km in about two weeks and I have yet to ready myself seeing as I can only do 6km at full limits. But it’s okay if I end up walking some of that course, I’d rather have my body in a moderate condition rather than break it again. I’m listening to it better and it feels good, stretch when you need to, rest when you have to, run when you have a good solid feeling. I need to take care of myself because seriously, running is causing tons more damage than skating is at the moment.

I pick up scuffs, scratches and grazes but that’s fine. I’m going down to the Sydney City Bombsquad soon enough. Last time I went I was fairly inexperienced, but with skating so often and so hard I think I should survive. I just need to make sure I stay composed, the route is something I’m moderately familiar with. But I’ll learn from my fellow skater, I’m excited for the next couple of weeks. I’ll take a break now and then get back to studying.

Things are going fairly well, that and there’s a girl I’ve set my sights on. Vivid is coming up. You do the math. I’m excited for the rest of May. c:

Revise more jap and memorise vocab stuff. Targeting location words (just so I can call out directions in Jap.)

Finish jap hw sheets.

Assemble PowerPoint for Wednesday.

Refine and time int studies speech.

I want to buy new games, but I’m running out of money. Not cool, will most likely reward myself with a game at the end of semester. That choice is harder than wanting to keep up with video games. xD

Working on assessments several days or even a week in advance of the due date has to be the most bothersome feeling ever. But when you can hand in assessments early and can freely swap time between assessments? That’s amazing.

Pro Tip of the day: Work on all assessments bit by bit ahead of time, it allows you to shift time to suit your needs. I’m darting between tasks, so it feels wonderful when I can actually shift focus.

One more summary then I can sleep. At least I’ll be officially halfway with the biggest assessment on my list. 

Duties begin. I’m excited, more excited than I should be. Okay, sleep. Now. Oh dear. Oh my.

In other positive news, I have officially taken up the helm as the Longboarding Society President. I have my team of execs, I’m collecting some files later today and it’s all very exciting. I don’t know what the year will bring us, but I’ve been getting into very good form as of late and I need to continue that if I want to keep up with everyone else near me.

My slides are solid, save for my colemans. But that’s all practice. I’m excited to meet the first years, and get some skating done out there. :D
