NewNewNewNew!

That's right... I'm writing this to you from a new laptop!! Okay, so I may have gone overboard with the excitedness about this new toy, but it's just my very (very) late birthday present (from the last two birthdays!), so I've been waiting a while for it. It's so cool... all HP and shiny and smooth to look at and use, and the best part? I actually LIKE typing on the keyboard!! I was so worried about that, because I hate laptop keyboards generally, but this one I'm really loving and wont have a problem with at all. It's silver. There are cool lights on it too and touch buttons and stuff. At the moment I'm only planning on using it for uni work and to take places, so am only transferring a select few items from my desktop (which I will still keep in action for a while... mostly to download things and play games etc). I've also been quite harsh in the music that I've transferred over... Only the best ones, or the ones I think I might want to listen to while on the go. I definitely wont be connecting my ipod to this computer until the very last day of my old one's existence in my room. I'm just excited, I guess! It'll wear off... eventually.

In other news... Easter has come and gone, and I've eaten lots of chocolate, and still have some left to go... It was a great weekend, the 4 days went on for ages, and I had some good times with my most favourite people. It is annoying though, when holidays like that make me feel like they can go on forever, and that life could always be that lazy and happy and not include work or other annoying things like that!

Anyway, should keep this post short, I'm feeling ill again from eating more honey baked ham Kettle chips... They're just so good! Mmm this laptop is all warm, it'll keep my hands nice and toasty when the cold weather really hits. Today was windy but no rain. I'm waiting for the rain.

Peace out.

Needs Improvement

I'm not dealing with things very well this week. It's annoying because I'm not sure why that is. I think it's just that the holidays are looming, and I feel like I need the time at home to just chill and also to get everything back in order. Over the course of the term I've let things slide downhill, like readings and keeping up to date with uni stuff, and feeling on top of everything. But I think that as it's gone on, and the content is getting more involved, I've slowed down with understanding it all. Plus I totally write off the weekends (which, in my opinion, is fantastic), so sometimes haven't gotten myself organised for Mondays, which leaks into Tuesdays, and then the whole week seems like it's a big rush. I think it's also because there's another assignment due this week, which is proving difficult to understand and know what's relevant to write. I got my first assignment back yesterday, which I thought I hadn't done all that well in, but actually got 12/15 or 82%, so that was mildly encouraging. But once again I feel like I'm just getting a little snowed under.

Not to mention that lately I seem to explode at every little thing someone says to me at home... It's not giving me a good reputation around the house, since everyone's afraid I'm going to go off at them for making a little joke. Even I know that I'm overreacting, but it still comes out of me! I'm sure it's just related to the stress and fear of not having enough time to finish this assignment well, and the fact that I don't know what I should be doing doesn't help. I'm the sort of person who needs specific guidelines or be told the steps to be able to do something well! So when the question says to be creative and interpret it in your own way, I'm kinda left flailing! Wish I wasn't like that.

Hmm, I also wish that I wasn't always complaining! I know there are things to be looking forward to (they're the reason time seems to be going by at a snail's pace), but there's also uncertainties about those things too! I LIKE HAVING PLANS!!! But unfortunately, I always think of something to plan far too late to actually do something about it. Then I'm just left disappointed. Much like this stupid stimulus, which I'm almost certain now I wont be getting. The government are so tricky, wording the criteria so that everyone believes one thing, then when the time comes, they are told another that you'd need a doctorate in tricky government wording to have picked up on! Sneaky butt-faces.

Anyway, I should probably attempt to actually open the assignment file and pretend to do some work. Make myself feel better (or more likely, worse). Sorry this has been another depressing post, I'll try to have some positive ones soon!
