That’s what I say everyday. He is very lucky.

Part of me wants to run away and work at a bar somewhere.

This is something I’m looking into!

I’m debating whether or not I should take a gap year before starting the teaching course.

This is on the basis that I find a casual job with full time hours. I really wanted to do teaching but everyone around me is saying I shouldn’t do it because of behaviour management, taking work home, and that I’m too much of a stresshead. I also have unmanaged ADHD, constantly submitting things late. When I’m a “bad student”, I feel like I’ll be a bad teacher.

I think I’ll try the teaching course and then apply for OT if it doesn’t fit.

This guy is five today! He is getting a batch of biscuits when my sister is done with work. I think they have cheese and peanut butter in them. Will attempt to get the recipe from her.

Assignment due today that I haven’t made much progress on. Two more next week with extensions, but I want to get them done end of this week so I have time to study for exams. The extensions cut into the exam study period.

Praying I can get everything done in time. I’m not going to let anything stop me today.

Somehow the anxiety I’m feeling around meeting deadlines has manifested into restlessness and suddenly I’m in a really hyper sort of state? I’m stressed and happy at the same time?

TIL there’s a school called Flying Fruit Fly Circus School. It’s a public school in Southern Albury.

Visited the NICU today for one of my units. Can’t believe I was that small. It’s amazing how medical advances have made it possible for very preterm babies to have a higher chance of survival.

Tried the one at Southbank last year. Their chips are great. They give you extra too.

If I can get tickets to Laneway Festival, it will be the best Valentine’s Day ever.

I feel exactly the same way. With the one-sidedness, hollow statements, social skills. Can I just say, I come here and complain about the most trivial shit and somehow I’m still welcome here?

For what it’s worth, we’ve all got big and small things going on. A cool part about being human is getting to talk about what’s happening in our lives. We are social creatures. Your story and your presence is part of this community. It is one part of the awesome mosaic we’ve got on here, and helps make the community what it is.

I’d like to think many people go home and talk about their days to the people they live with, if they don’t live alone. This is one way of doing that.

You have caused the opposite of trouble. In fact, I look forward to reading your updates. Rooting for you.

P.S. your train knowledge is very impressive. I have a feeling you’d be fun to train spot with.

Time to respawn the gratitude thread?

Yesterday I spoke to someone at uni and had a good chat. I have sat with her and a few other people in class, but I keep forgetting to ask for their names. Seeing as next week is the last class, I might ask if we can all keep in touch considering most of us would be graduating. Or I can never see them again hehe

Morning all. Baku is still active on Reddit so I have forwarded him the post from yesterday with your messages :)

I don’t think anyone would have the executive function to deal with that shit. Our minds absolutely suck at trying to protect us in this day and age. We end up feeling like shit instead.

@ Spud’s mean inner voice and the carpet moths: there’s the door 🚪

I hope you feel better soon <3

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Is the library there open? Thought it was closed for renovations but could be a different library.

W man

Four assignments due next week. Three exams. A few quizzes. Ten weeks of lectures for one subject which will be watched in 2x speed.

Then we’re done.

I don’t feel like I’ve learnt much from my degree, except that I should be better at time management. Hoping I won’t be saying that about the next course I do because that one should be the one that actually gets me a job!

As someone who has submitted quite a few assignments late this semester, the penalty per day is taken off per assignment. E.g. submit assignment five days late and 10% lost per day --> a 70 becomes a 20.

I feel like this is standard across unis, but could be wrong.
