So..
Haven't posted for a while... Not sure that's much of an issue but it does say something about my busyness/dysthymia levels of late.. Or I think it probably does.. I seem to only write stuff here when I'm in a crappy mood.. And then รก la crappy mood I whine and bitch about something for the entire duration of my overly durational post and feel better at the end..
Today I aim to write in a more happy light.. Though I suppose my previous paragraph won't go too far towards helping that.. I am actually in a crappy mood as I mentioned I seem to have to be to write here.. But I'm not going to go into that tonight..
So.. I shall move along and write about other things..
What to write about... Um.. Well I'm nearly finished uni! I have exams for the next week.. And in that time I have one.. Then, 4 days off then another one and then another one the day after.. Yay for the possibility of being finished with uni!
I don't like uni.. I think that's probably got something to do with the fact that where I live (being my country) moving away to go to uni isn't that big a thing.. And due to this I've stayed at home for the duration of my studies (except when I took a year off after my first year of horrible boredom at uni and went overseas).. That was a good time.. If I had moved out of home I think things would have been much more fun, they seem to be for all the people that I know who don't live at home anymore and considering the fact that I don't like my parents to know everything about me, it would have allowed me to do more things.. (And by things I pretty much mean bringing drunk girls home.. However as you all know from my previous posts I haven't done that..)
Basically I think that it's stunted me a bit.. I'll get over it..
Annoyingly although I am super close to the start of my final exams.. Other people such as my little brother (who's in 2nd year) are super close to the end of theirs.. So it's kinda frustrating.. He'll be finishing tomorrow.. Exactly a week before me.. Grr little brother! *shakes fist*
In other news I started playing ice hockey in an actual comp this month.. We've now had 4 games.. And after losing the first two by significant margins we got a new goalie and have since won 4-1 two games in a row.. I got an assist last week so I'm happy about that..
You might be thinking.. 'An assist? Seriously? That's it?' And if you are.. Well yeah fair enough, it's a bit lame.. But I'm playing in a comp that is way out of my league (cause I couldn't make the easier comp due to conflicting commitments) and it's my first ever ice hockey comp..
And I really need to master the offside rule.. We don't really have hockey here.. So I haven't grown up with this stuff.. I need to learn fast cause it's messing up my confidence and if I can't play confident then I don't play hard enough..
That was probably more of a note to self, than something worth writing up here.. But it's there now and I treasure my uncounted word count too much to backspace it...
To give you an idea of the level that I play at though, there's a guy from the Sydney Bears in my team..
The Sydney Bears being the equivalent of an NHL team in America.. Though as I'm in Australia our standards are quite a bit lower than the American/Canadian ones I'm sure.. But still.. He's good..
Um... I got a new mobile! Yay!.. It's good and I now have a reliable mp3 player again as my last one didn't last more than an hour on it's battery and was full.. I'll just say right now that it's not an iPhone.. Cause I hate iPods and iPhones.. Not Apple.. I use a Mac laptop.. But yeah.. I'm not rocking the iPhone.. But its basically an iphone lol...
One problem however that I didn't think about when I ordered my new phone was that it is on a 2 year contract.. No problem.. I'm sure I can scrounge up the money for it but it kinda locks me in Australia for the next two years unless I want to go overseas and pay for global roaming/an unused phone.. So this kind of messes up any aspirations I may have had of taking some wild 'Woo I've finished Uni' world working trip that I had actually considered.. Up till a few weeks ago...
So yeah.. Finishing uni.. Now I'll actually have to get a job.. This is another thing that I really can't talk about.. I have no idea what I want to do.. My degree isn't one that just shuffles me into a certain industry like a lot of my friends are doing.. And even if it was.. I'm kinda over this area of study anyway so I wouldn't want to be shuffled like I would be anyway.. So I don't know what's going to happen to me as far as that's concerned.. Probably I'll just get some crappy till-I-sort-myself-out job and then forget that it was only supposed to be a place holder and end up doing it for way too long.. I'm not the sort of guy that gets fired.. I guess that's a credit to me though right!
So yeah.. Good chance that if I continue to post these late night rants my future topics become quite employment orientated..
And that's pretty much all I have for you today children/parents/zombies.. Hope everything's going peachy on your endz..
Cya!
It's always fun to shake things up with a non-whiny post. =P Congrats on being almost done with uni! That's a super awesome accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the Bears, I have a cousin in New Zealand and we often talk about hockey. The college I attend is nuts for ice sports so it's a subject I know a lot of shit about. I hope you get all the rules down and start kicking some major ass soon. It's good you're on that team though, you'll be challenged to become a better player, which is always good.
Good luck job hunting!!
