March 2005
Dirty undergrads have taken over campus again.
1st March 2005 - David, Bp. and Conf.
I keep not writing, but all my regular writing time has gone to email. Here was me thinking an ill-defined long distance relationship-ish thing would be all fun and no hassels. Turns out it's just as much work - maybe more - than dating someone you actually have to see. Who'd have thunk it.
It's mostly seeming pretty good though, so I guess it is worth it. Even if it is an assault on my extreme laziness.
Anyway, over the weekend I was supposed to read Wuthering Heights. This led to procrastination on an epic scale. Much playing of Sims2 and generally arsing about. By Monday morning I had 1/3 of it read. I'm such a slack bitch.
Fortunately I managed to escape without being burned in the fires of Lizzie for my poor reading of the text. It also seems I'm one fo the only people in the department not to have read the thing before. What is with that. I realise it is one of that canon of 'Great Books', but still.
Anyway, I'm off to play some Sims and procrastinate about going in to varsity.
13th March 2005 - Last day for Lent to begin.
Okay, almost two weeks without writing anything - my bad.
Since I last wrote I spent the night of Tuesday the 1st volunteering until 4am Wednesday at some stoner gig - for this I got a free ticket to the Violent Femmes.
So Wednesday the second I went to the Femmes and dragged along Stuart. It was a fantastic night - the band was great, but no real surprise there being the Violent Femmes and all.
Thursday I went to the office for the afternoon, Friday was also semi-productive in the office and led to me making grand promises to have work in to my supervisor within a few days (this didn't pan out so well).
Saturday last weekend I spent conscripted in to doing my mother's garden - I have to learn to say no. Sunday I spent at theatre Claire's playing Fable - much fun ensued.
Then along came Monday and Chem labs. My first monday class is great. Otherwise the week was pretty uneventfully spent slogging slowly at the masters whilst getting nowhere. Come Friday my supervisor caught up with me about my promise to have some work for him - so I gave him my annotated bibliography (which is pretty much all the notes I have taken in the last couple of months yet still not as long as it should be - I'm proving less smart than is desirable in postgraduates). Friday evening I bowled along to and department postgrad social function - it was pretty good, and the one person in the department I persist in wanting to jump sat beside and chatted to me for a while. I was happy (possibly happier than I should be being considering my vaguely spoken for-ness).
I came home Friday night and my bit turned up, fresh from many hours of travel to spend the weekend with me - and lucky enough to get me being tired, full of a cold and hayfever. So we had a quiet night in. Saturday I went to Harveys and got myself the addon for the sims. I am so bad - I have guestage and I get computer games. That night Tina was staying aswell, so it made for a fun social evening in my flat. And my flatmate was much less complainy about it than he has been in the past, which is all good.
Anyway, it was mostly a good weekend even with me feeling crap. I now my Sims can go to university - it's making me happy. For now anyway.
24th March 2005.
Tomorrow is both Good Friday, and the Annunciation of Our Lord. Coincidence but disturbing.
I suck at writing in this recently. I spend too much time emailing my somewhat needy bit in Christchurch. That's going to get me in trouble. Oh, well.
Haven't been up to too much, just work and thesis. Not a bundle of fun or particularily worth writing about.
I did go to a play on Tuesday night - after having blown far too much money on a book earlier in the day and on getting a ticket to Wanaka (I'm off there tomorrow to hang out with Tina). My bank account is not liking me.
Anyway, I should go pack some more. Will try to write better when back from Wanaka.
