So ive been going to a thesis writing workshop the last few days, i had gotten emails about it for a few weeks and was meaning to sign up for it but i just plain old forgot... anyhow, one of the other students in the postgrad room at uni was heading off around 10am on monday and i asked where she was going and she said the thesis thing so i packed my shit up and tagged along.
But it was cool, i got there and said my name wasnt on the list cause i forgot and everything was cool. Well the first thing i notice when i walk into the room was that i seemed like a baby in there, the rest were older people... i looked around and decided to just sit near Melanie - one of the other students in the post grad room.
The good news is that they gave out a free book! yay!... and then everything went downhill... my attention span lasted about 10 minutes.... but the book was worth it. About half way through (after athe free lunch) we moved into the other lecture room with comfy chairs.. so thatw as a bit better....
So thats what ive been doing, plus marking whenever i get a chance. I have like 50 billion gazillion things i need to get done this week.... ha ha, but shit happens if they happen to spill over into next week. Ive almost got all the assignments marked.. Gotta do up a time sheet somtime tomorrow and claim for all this work! Ive got my eye on a sexy iPod.. hrmmm 20gig of apple mp3 player goodness *rubs hands together*, plus it would be cool for the trip i have to take around november to go to newcastle for my sisters 21st birthday. hrmm somthing to consider.
So things are going great... ive got lots of work keeping me busy and meeting lots of people. My phd is going ok, i figure its not going to all happen straight away, ive got 8 years of part time study. I started looking around and sent some emails to my supervisor and he seemed happy so its all good.
Still havnt heard about the possible job at the uni... ill wait and see with that one. In the mean time ive got lots to keep me busy.
So thats it... *sigh* another wholesome blog entry...
Ive got silverchair pumping out the tunes in winamp at the moment... damn it is good!
