Just a short entry today as I need to do something ... what was it ... oh yes: sleep. I need to sleep so I can wake up and do more study. So much to do and so little time! I will be so happy for the study break so I can study ... seriously! I can study without the threat of lecturers reminding me of more upcoming assignments.

Ah, the small pleasures of life :)

 Good night, fellow students and may your brain get a very deserved rest :)

Greetings, fellow students :)

So, I know you are all wondering (note how I assume that my blog is read by hundreds, no, thousands of people!) what ILS is.

ILS is a new acronym that I have come up with to stand for 'Incomprehensive Lecture Syndrome'.  It means when you attend or listen to a lecture and you have no idea, I repeat, NO idea, what the lecturer was talking about. Even though he or she was speaking English (as far as you could tell, anyway).

So, it is a long weekend, what with Easter gracing us quite early on this year.

I was quite looking forward to it on Thursday morning - had visons of myself frolicking in the sun, laughing gaily at random things and so on and so forth.

It ain't gonna happen.

Quick blog (I am studying ... can't you tell?):

In the future, when we're all wearing silver suits and floating shoes, they will find out a way to see where time goes. Then they will see that students are little black holes: time just gets sucked in and ... goes away to a mysterious place, probably a place populated with people waiting in a doctor/dentist/job interview room (who think to themselves "My god, will this never end? How long can this take?!).

This is my explanation why I never have enough time.

Ok, so I was thinking: how different is 2nd year to 1st year?

My first year (especially my first semester) was fraught with all sorts of stuff: panic, disorientation, more panic, poverty, psych experiements (to combat the aforementioned poverty) and figuring out how I study.

So, are any of these still present, now that I am into my second year? Umm, no and yes. Or yes and no ...

Drat - was just writing the most brilliant blog entry this side of the ring of fire and suddenly it's gone! And I can't remember what I was rambling on about!
ODay: I went with my brother who is starting his Uni career as an Arts Student come Monday. We both thought the whole thing was a bit overwhelming (we're both Mature Age students but don't break out the zimmer-frames yet!) but then, maybe that's just us.

My first official blog entry ... only took me 15 minutes to find out just how to actually do that!

Last Thursday and Friday I was a leader at Flying Start and it was so much fun! It was great to meet all these new people who will be studying at UWA; I now have more friends than I had before, which is quite cool. And not only that, I found that I really enjoy telling people about my first year at Uni, in the hope that their transition will be a bit easier than mine.
