It has been decided a double degree BCA/LLB shall be my calling. Means I have to change my papers -=sigh=-

I hope Mariken passed the exam she sat today, if she dosn't she can't graduate and has to come back down here next year just for 1 paper AND she won't be able to take the MetService job if she gets offered it and this also means that she won't be able to shift to Wellington and she won't be a permenant fixture at our apartment.

1 month to go till my birthday!!

This is just fucking rude: STORMING downstairs at 1.30am making as much noise as possiable, ressetting the modem without telling anyone (especially when I was getting 80-90kB/s download speeds!), playing games so loudly you can hear it in MY room (all I can hear is BANG BANG BANG BANG ARRRRGGG as clear as if I was playing), watching a movie so loudly that it makes my WALLS shake. IT'S FUCKING EXAMS YOU COCKS! I'M TRYING TO STUDY!!

Omg trying to timetable my classes is a PAIN IN THE ASS. I can't do ECON205 because it clashes with my (compulsory) Japanese paper, QUAN111 clashes with my compulsory International Business lecture on Thursday (the other 2 QUAN lectures are fine) So I decided that I might do a MATH paper, but they're all in the FIRST semester!! ACCY111 clashed so I had to move it ealier in the day and now I still need to find an apppropriate paper. Might have to be ECON 140. I really want to do ECON205 (The development of the Modern International Economy) so I may have to do it in semester 2, 2010. GOD DAMN PEOPLE! -=pulls out hair=-

Please leave me a comment with sympathy I think I'm going to go INSANE.

I sat my marketing exam today, it went fine. Economics and Finance however I will need a lot of study for. Well more finance than economics.

Fuck yeah! I got a B+ on that GOD AWFUL MARKETING deconstruction! That means I'm averaging a B- for marketing! I should be SWEET for the exam.

I think I might be averaging a B-/C+ for Management.

My Finance exam is going to be the killer.

I'm hopeing to pass Economics.

I've a new sweetheart and really like her.

I'm going to enroll for Victoria soon. I've applied for my loan and they send it to mums house but she got shirty because I've put my new name on my loan application "putting her on the spot" regarding my name change. Now shes changed her name AGAIN about paying for it. Firstly, it's not my fault she spelt my name wrong it's not exactly like I could have gone and done it myself when I'm 2 weeks old. Secondly, where the fuck am I going to find $120? I REFUSE to have my birth name written on my degree thank you very much!

Last week of lectures this week then I can devote all my time to studying. I've decided that I need to devote 1/2 my time to finance, 1/4 time to conomics and marketing and management can go to hell can share 1/4.

Sukulu is useless at getting back to me. We have our deconstruction due on MONDAY and we havent even started, we haven't picked our ads or anything. It's majorly infuriating! It feels like that if I want to get anything done I'm the one who has to go out and do it despite out grade being for the both of us. Next year I'm not going to do any marketing at all.

Mixing beer and spirits is sooo not a good idea.

Right! next year at vic I intend on joining hockey, karate (again) and any soccer club I can find. I liked the social aspect of belonging to a sports team and I enjoyed playing at primary school. Means I need to get some gears though, like a hockey stick, sneakers, shin guards, mouth guard, socks, soccer boots and karate gi.

I got 35% which means I can still sit my finance exam on the 31st. I will proberly need an A for finance in order to pull my mark for that paper up.

I've started studying. Aren't I good?

Grr! I friggin hate having to work in pairs/groups! I've e-mailed Sukulu about 3 times now, asking when is a good time for her that we can meet up and start working on our marketing advertisement deconstruction. Have I got a reply? NOOOOOO!! We only have till the 6th Oct and it's just PISSING ME OFF!! I know she dosn't like marketing but I'm trying to get a good grade so that it pulls my GPA up, since last semester what such an epicfail. I think I could be managing a C+.

In other news though, I feel smart! I'm currently working on last semesters BSNS104/ECON111 final exam and I'm getting lots of stuff RIGHT! I think the reason I only got 10 in the mid-term is because I got the way you do that oppurtunity cost mixed up. You put the thing you're trying to find the OC on the top not on the bottom. There is still a couple of things I'd like Stewart to explain on Wedensday though. It's good because I really, really need to pass Economics.

Accounting exams still haven't been released yet *is nervous* Finance however seems to be going okay my tutourial questions are bleh. I normally get about half right. It's just annoying having a tutorial at 9am when I'm just not awake. Not last week but the week before I actually fell asleep on my desk, I haven't done that since I was at UCOL and I had 8am microbiology classes (and since I lived in feilding and the bus to palmy left at 7.20 I had to be awake and chohernt by 6) so yes it was interesting.

Management presentation went great though. I still get nervous public speaking though I didn't feel nervous before hand but when I got up there I started shaking. It's hard trying to convince other people you're not nervous when you're hands and legs are visably shaking. I'm hoping for a good mark and if we don't I'm going to cry. It's a good thing I actually brought a shirt down with me because 60% of our mark was presentation if I didn't I would have just worn what I always do - t shirt, hoody jeans and thats just too casual for a work presentation lol.

Registered for a Student Learning Center workshop on the 30th titled "managing exam stress" so hopefully I can learn to calm myself down so that I don't stay awake for 2 nights in a row. It's a very nice day here today although there is a couple of grey clouds floating around now and it's quite windy. Good drying weather (which is exactly what I'm doing) washed my "Otago University" hoody for the first time, its good because it actually fits! sure it's an XS but the sleeves are just the right length and it's quite long so it goes to about my thighs.

National nude day was on friday, so of course I saw 2 guys streak though St. David lecture theatre at 8am when there was a BIOC192 lecture (biochemistry for HSFY) Iwas sitting outside so I saw them come bolting out the door and outside. On wedensday when I had marketing in St Davids, I had a nekkid guy in skis walk through. Not exactly the sort of thing I want to see.

My that was a long post now wasn't it? Well back to my exam.


Isn't it pretty?

A friend David, whom I meet years ago (I think I was 14) through Elfwood (which I incidently haven't updated in... 4 years) is just breaking into the comic book world. He is currently working on a set of game cards much like Magic the Gathering and has asked me to design the 5 most powerful cards in the game and they basically allow you to win. I've named 2 relics already the one from the black set is called the "Cup of Impregnable Solitude" and the relic from the red set is called the "Cup of Inherint Favour". I'm trying to design/think of more names for the 3 remaning sets - white, green and blue. Maybe blue can be the "Cup of Subtle Compsure", white "Cup of Compassionate Infulence" and green "Cup of Devine Gratitude". When they're printed and finished I get HALO copies, and we all know how much I love shiny things!

I hardly draw anymore and if I do they're just designs not pretty art like he does. I like designing stuff like graphics, I've made my own coat of arms (I've actually designed 2) although I will never ever be granted them because one has a ducal coronet and I'm not exactly a Duchess and the other has ermine mantling which is reserved for royalty.

Tonight, there is something on at St. Davids lecture theature that I'm going to go to. The speaker sounded interesting so thats what I'm going to be doing 6-8pm tonight. I was going to go to the supermarket to pick up some things but I thought better of it as I was only going home so early before Debbie had a chance to start cooking and leave me with an infinte amount of dishes but its the weekend tomorrow so I can just do them then. Cameron comes back from Europe on Sunday it dosn't feel like he has been gone that long.

I have also come to a conculsion over the past couple of weeks. I hate Dunedin firstly, is the weather - it's freezing fucking cold in sub-standard living accomodation, second its the HILLS I have never ever been a fan of hills and living up one this year has nearly killed me on more than one occasion (ask Jevon about the hill), thirdly is dumb as snobby people/scarfies, fourthly everything being of any use is in SOUTH DUNEDIN (i.e pak n slave, the wharehouse, BK... also just so you know we live in the North East Valley which is even further than North Dunedin, so its about 1.5-2hours walk there. Sometimes I wish I had fixed my car) fifthy my family is so far away and it's so god damn expensive to travel. So Dunedin, I friggin hate you. I can't wait to move. 2 months and counting.

You know this year could have been so different! I hear of people loving living in Dunedin they have nice flats with awesome people, lots of good friends etc ect and I just haven't had any of that. When I lived in Palmerston North it was like that - good friends, alright flat but with people I liked (not that I don't like my flatmates but I feel a bit left out sometimes because Keely and Debbie are best friends, and Cameron and Keely are classmates so they all hang out quite a lot. And I'm the only one doing a BCom), I could go any where in the city thanks to free transport... Why not me? Do I have some sort of hapiness barrier? -sigh-

I think I might take some Law papers at Victoria next year. It just sucks because there are 3 you need to take to get into Law while here there is only 1 and it's funnily enough called LAWS101. I really really need to pass Economics and Accounting so I can hopefully go straight into 200 level International Business papers. If I had stayed down here, I'd stll be finishing off compulsory 100 level papers next year. There is 8 I think and 1 compulsory 200-level paper.

Spanks you very much for being warm today, the sun has put me in a fantastic mood. I've cleaned my room (shock horror) and put my washing outside to dry for the first time in 6months. Now I have clean clothes to wear next week. I am also wearing a tshirt for the first time in 6months as well. Could you please make this a more regular occurance? that 12 days of rain in the middle of August wasnt very fun.

Yours faithfully,

As you can tell it's been a very warm day today! I also moved the modem down stairs because I'm the only one who dosnt have wireless. So I am currently sitting down stairs in my room at my desk telling you all this. It's great because I can actually study down here now and spread my books, papers and folders all over my desk in my organised piles. Speaking of, last week I tidied both my shelf with and my desk and recycled 3 shopping bags full of notes from last semester these included - lab manuels, paper, SDLs, and my own notes. Holy freaking crap! Now my science textbooks are sitting in a nice pile on the shelf ready to be sold next year.

I feel really, really awesome right now.

I didn't get home till 11pm last night and I've still got the exceutive summary and conculsuion to do. I've just printed out the other 7 pages and they're ready to be stapled once I've finished those other 2 bits. Management is killing me I swear. Right now however I'm looking at funny things cats do on youtube as a break. I've also just finished muching on some licorice choc logs. Odd for me since I normally don't each chocolate but those things are GOOD.

Are you a University Graduate?

Got my other Management assignment back and I got 7/10=70% I'm pretty sure that is a B! Yay I'm doing pretty well at this Business thing.

Woot! yet another B- for Marketing! Hopefully I can get a B in this coming assesment and then another B in the exam and I should average a B!

The Devil makes good use of these hands of mine

-makes frustrated growl and starts pulling out hair-

• my management assignment I'm handing in tomorrow(!) and it's going crappily. I'm not very good an analyzing a business and it's a freaking REPORT with all this fancy hoo-haa on how it's supposed to be set out. I also have a "group presentation" after that.
• had my oral exam today and both MY questions were chosen (no1 and no4 I wrote them in an entry sometime) that went okay not to hopeful for any B's there only to be told there is another assignment coming. This time an advertisement deconstruction which is also done in pairs. Good grief marketing department!!! anything else!? Oral exams are really hard!
• I found out both Sukulu and I are ex health sci haha her major is Finance whilst mine is International Business.

FUCK MY LIFE!

I did however bank the cheque from the IRD today but most of it is going on my credit card. I also think I will need to top up my printer account before I can print out my assignment/s. I think I have used about $20 this year give or take.
