On a Bad Day



I had a pretty bad day today. I was terribly tired, with the 3 assignments to hand in, 2 of which weren't done yet. Traffic on the way to uni was usually jammed, parallel parked in between two very tightly parked cars (do these people not know to either leave no gap, or enough room for one WHOLE car?!), paid 2 hours of parking ($4/hr!) for a 2 hour class which only lasted 10 minutes!

After class, i had to move my car to the $10/hr section, which was a 20 minute walk from the Uni campus, and went back up with my laptop to find somewhere to work. I won't even mention the trouble with my laptop I had that I tried to fix for almost 2 hours! At 2.15pm, I had to print all my work out and get to the other side of campus to hand my assignment in, on an already damaged foot. By the end of the day, I swear my foot was crying...

Anyway, it was a fairly horrible day for me, and I was in a very sour mood. I listened to the radio in the vain hope that a song might appear on the radio that would lighten my mood. It didn't happen. I put my iPod on and had it play my entire song list. Eventually, I'm Yours came on, and it instantly relaxed my and made me feel much better.

This is just one of those songs that, even though it doesn't make much sense, it does wonders to lift your mood, even if just for the duration of the song.

Like I said, I had a bad day. Make me feel better, leave me some comments! :P

Enjoy reading and listening :)

Panic and Frustration!

Welp! It's that time of the semester again! Last couple of weeks of classes, one month before exams!  I'm piled up to my eyes with assignments! Eeep! I have two assignments due on Wednesday, a test that same night, and another assignment due Thursday afternoon! Why am I blogging you ask? Well... this is just part of my procrastination I suppose... Along with twitter, facebook, and restaurant city (now there's a game you can just sit and watch for hours on end!). 

My Wednesday morning assignment is a lab report, and to be honest, I really don't care how I do anymore... I'm just to the point where I am so confused and frustrated that I just don't care.  It's a results and discussion section of the report write up.  We never really did the experiment... the tutors did it, and they just told us about it and gave us the results. And we're suppose to write about it?  We didn't do the first few bits (introduction, methods, etc) either!

Wednesday afternoon is the Statistics assignment number 3! This one's worth 8% of the final grade.  Not much to say about that assignment... it's math.  I don't like math.  I'm not much good at it...

Now the Thursday assignment... that's one that I do have quite a bit of interest in.  Its a research/literature review on the "theraputic alliance".  Basically the relationship between a counsellor and his/her clients, and the way it affects the results.  I've done a bit of research and reading about it, and I've really found it quite interesting!  That is the one assignment that I actually want to do.  With that said, I haven't actually started writing it yet.  And it's a 2500 word essay, and it's worth 40% of the final grade! There are no exams for this paper, thats why.

*sigh* I guess I should get back to it huh...
