3 sleeps to go

All my shopping is done. Which means no waking up early on Christmas Eve, trying to beat the crowds to do some last minute, stressed shopping. I was watching the news and Westfield Parramatta is trading until midnight tomorrow night. Crazy. I suppose if you're a shift worker you wouldn't have the time so it'd be really helpful. I wonder how busy it'd be ... I'd want to go just once for the experience I think.

I popped by The Face Shop in The Galeries Victoria yesterday. I was just going to buy random things for gifts for my cousins. They have baskets with a few things wrapped in a bag. So, I guess a gift bag? But rather it being priced as a set, they're priced individually. That is to say, everything in the bag is scanned. So, it's like buying it individually but they've taken the effort to put it in a bag to take away the thinking for you. Which is not a bad thing, really. I wouldn't know how to sift through all the products in the store and figure out some sort of combination of them that would work as a present.







Also, if you spend over $30 you can apply for a membership card. Though, the sales assistant at the register didn't offer this, which I thought was odd (from my limited Christmas retail experience). Every time I've been to Myer this Christmas shopping period I've always been offered a Myer One card, which I decline. Though, considering how much I spent at Myer this Christmas ... Also, every time I buy something at Kinokuniya I always think I should get a membership card too. Don't know if it's worth it now that I've already bought a whole bunch of stuff.

On holidays until the 10th January. Am not going to use my brain and forget about uni for a while. Well, as much as I can. I need to still work on some uni things ... ugh.

Also, long lines for Haigh's chocolate. I don't understand why.

Summer school

It's like winter in Sydney. Like seriously.

Anyhoo, first week of summer school is over. It's been okay. Assignments are due soon and summer seems like it's going to be busy. And not in a fun way.

Just over 2 weeks until Christmas! My most favourite time of the year!



That's a poorly taken picture of my tree.

I was in Starbucks yesterday, sipping coffee, and they were playing Christmas carols and oh, I almost cried. I love Christmas time.

Yeah, just a random post.

:D

Drumroll please ...

I PASSED SUMMER SESSION! MIRACLE YOU GUYS! Very little effort and very little attendance. Less than a week left before semester 1. I have got to be a better student. Stressing over whether I passed or failed should not be the norm. New semester resolution!

Firstly, I should get up in the AM not PM. Going to RTA tomorrow to book my L's test for March 11. I have no common sense. I really need some time to study this. Buy another external HDD. I still have to go to the beach before summer ends, Museum of Contemporary Art for the Annie Lebowitz exhibition and the Art Gallry of NSW.

Can't believe semester 1 is almost here. >.<

Exam eve

As I sit here on the eve of another exam I regret all the procrastinating I did throughout this summer session. By 12:30pm or 12:40pm (There's reading time so ... XD) tomorrow I'll be officially on holidays until 1st March. What is that ... like 2 weeks?

I only need to pass the exam, or just below pass, to pass the subject. Though, as a law student I should be aiming higher. I didn't attend many of the classes of this subject and I should be majorly cramming right now. I just took at look at some practice questions and I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Think it should be ok. Fingers crossed. And as always, I shall be a better student next semester!

See you on the other side of tomorrow!

February

I've been eating ice block things all day instead of actual food. Actual food is warm and it is much too hot for that.

Summer school is almost over just an exam in  few days which I have no notes for and haven't attended a lot of the seminars for either. I was going to start studying today but it's too HOT. It's supposed to be mid-30's in Sydney for the rest of this week. Me thinks I should esape the heat and travel all the way to uni to study where it's air conditioned. Except, it's all the way in the city. Travelling in this weather is just something I do not want to do.

As for my summer goals:

6. Eat less junk food: I've been pretty good at not doing this. Although, at times I REALLY do crave a burger. I want a good one. I keep seeing good looking burgers on food tumblrs and I almost drool over the keyboard.

Everything else has not happened. Since today is the 1st of the month a new start. To refresh.

I can't study in this heat, you guys. >.<
