G.A. V2
So the bad thing about having internet access and knowing your credit card number off-by-heart is that you can buy things too easily. The good thing is that you can get access instantly to gems.
I downloaded the Grey's Anatomy Vol. 2 soundtrack and I have to say I'm in love. It ranges from serious (How To Save A Life - Fray) to the ridiculous (Kaboom! - Ursula 1000; from the rocking (Sexy Mistake - The Chalets) to the laid back (Homebird - Foy Vance); from the pleasant (Miss Halfway - Anya Marina) to the loud (Monster Hospital - Metric).
As with any album there are songs you fall in love with instantly and you tend to play repeated until you're singing the lyrics in your sleep. For someone who has only listened to mostly mainstream pop music I found this album fantastic. A look into the unknown, so to speak.
Put How to Save a Life - Fray, Miss Halfway - Anya Marina, and Chasing in Cars - Snow Patrol on repeat and I guarantee you'll be composing ballads in your sleep. 10/30/2006 09:09:00 AM

School
I used to be one of those people who enjoyed school. I wouldn't always be wholehearted about it, but I loved to learn, loved to be in a classroom and love to be fascinated by interesting teachers.
Lately with university I am finding myself getting frustrated. I have one teacher who is very disorganised. I am one of those students who works out which readings I have to do when so I can stay a week ahead. This usually works until you get sick, get behind or the teacher decides to change the readings every second week.
We have to do weekly exercises, quizzes and worksheets for this subject. There's no structure to where she posts things. It would make is soooooooooo much easier if she had a folder for each and posted them in there.
Other than that, I seem to just be struggling with school. I don't enjoy psychology. The lab reports are long and painful. The only subject I am enjoying is accounting - but I don't want to enjoy it. I don't want be an Accountant.
Ergghh. I do this all the time. I'm just not enjoying school and am holding out until the summer break. I might get a new perspective on things then, or maybe not.
Yes I realise that I seem like a major dork admitting that I like school so much. 10/17/2006 10:30:00 AM

My lately...
I'm sorry I haven't updated (well, for the few of you who are actually checking on a regular basis).
Lately has been filled with long moments of nothingness, contemplation and mania. it was back to classes last week after lecture recess week, which wasn't a lecture recess week for me because I worked, worked, worked. I spent way too much money on cd's (Jet - Shine On, Pharrell - In My Mind, The Killers - Sam's Town, Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics), dvd's (Scrubs - Seasons 1-4, Wag the Dog, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Magnolia, Along Came Polly) and books (the Wine Book, and I can't recall the other titles). Oh, and this is going to sound very girlie, but I bought a new handbag and I'm in love with it (if you know me, you know I carry around a huge bag that contains a note book, glasses, beauty necessities [which means a lipstick, handlotion and lip balm] and lots of other things). Okay, so I'm sharing way too much.
I have a 2000 word lab report due next Monday (16 October) and I've only just printed off some research to read today. In other words, I'm mighty crazy for leaving it this long to start. I did have intentions to start earlier, but intentions are just that unless they are acted upon. Exams aren't really that far away - only a month. I have excel exercises to do every week and submit by Saturday night, online quizzes to do once a week by Saturday night, I have an online test next weekend, an exam some Friday soon, an assignment due 4 November. I...have...trouble..breathing...sometimes...when I think of all the things I have to do.
I feel a period of change coming along. I have made some decisions which I'm not prepared to share as of yet - let us just say it's a road to a happier, healthier and more focused me.
I will leave you with the words of Abraham Maslow: "If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life." 10/08/2006 05:38:00 PM
