Wad up yo?
the BIG move took an unsuspecting and unnecessary turn. I just settled in on thursday, which was yesterday. I finished setting in- setting up the room, making it as homey as possible. Then, my dad was like, 'I don't like the place' He was not happy with the place. Even thought it was really near uni.
We had an argument about it. he didn't raise his voice or anything, but he did give me an ultimatum, or a statement to that effect. You lot know what I'm like when I'm peeved off about something...I had to grit my teeth, seal my lips in order no to say or do anything thing that i will regret or cause me to be chopped up and cooked into curry.
So, last night, I had to make a call to JoE...THANK GOD- her mom's gonna let me bunk in the spare room. Gosh, what will i do with out you Jo! :)
So now, I have to move, yet again...
Anyways, I haven't done any studying, thanks to the move and the fact that my dad's in town. So, I'm hoping and praying that I haven't missed anything- uni wise

To Julia:
I'm so envious that you get to make a quick run for home every break. I'm stuck at school trying to complete 2 assignments worth 10%ea! The best part is the jounrla articles I need are all from 1974, '75, '89 that sort of era which means they're not on the Net and I've to scour the library reference section for the articles I need. You have No Idea. Anyway, shame you can't go to the finals -- Jon would have loved to see you :) Ah well, enjoy it there in Sunny Sg.
To Min:
Hey babe, how's it going with the Big Move? I haven't heard from you so I'm assuming it's been pretty hectic for you. But you're moving in with nice people (assumption) so you should be all settled in by tomorrow or Thu or something. Text me again when you're all right and ready. Ok?
-----
So, that's pretty much my life during the break now. It's pretty ironic, really. It's not a real break. How can it be considered a break when all I'm still doing is work?! I need a Boost Juice and some retail therapy but I won't be getting none of that until the end of this month. I have to ensure I complete all the intrasemester assessments first.
SIGH.

When the panic sets in
IGNORE THIS POST IF YOU WANT TO REMAIN HAPPY
When I woke up today, I had THE feeling- F*ck
When I went to work, it was still there- F*ck
It's only week 4, and the feeling's gotten hold.
I've got a bad BAD feeling, it's one of those days, Crystal said everyone goes through that one day.
I'm trying to get that feeling to go away, I can't. I have a feeling I won't make it this sem. *nervour laugh.
Can someone just run me down already! What the f*ck! I'm a screw up aren't I? If I fail this sem, I don't know what I'm to do. I sat down at home this morning, after work, just for 5 mins, thinking- of a back-up plan. Got nothing. I sould be studying or something, but I just seem to not know where to start (I KNOW I'VE GOTTA START SOMEWHERE)
When I meet people, and they ask me what I usually do, I'm reluctant to say that I'm a f*cking law student. Because most people will go 'Ohhhhhhhh' I cringe, inwards- DRY RENCH!
I am the best example of what a Law student is NOT.
Yes yes, today, I'm just gonna rant rant rant rant, maybe by tonight I'll be happy, maybe I'll get over this retarded shit! Excuse the crude language ladies and gents, for I am in no mood to hide it.
I will be ok, won't I?

Wednesdays always leave me exhausted but it's my favourite weekday this semester. There's 2 hours of Animal Systems lectures and 3 hours of practical animal handling down at the Vet Farm in the arvo. What more could I ask for.
It was all about the horse industy yesterday during lectures. Clearly, horses play a very big role in the economy of Australia and are used for many purposes - working, sporting, entertainment, showing, war (at least when big technologies didn't exist) etc. We all had a little laugh when the lecturer said, "And we do see some miniature horse owners come in ..." and he stops short to clarify, "I meant miniature horses, not miniature owners ..." The lecture theatre burst into a complementary laugh but the lecturer took it so much upon himself that when he tried to continue his lecture, he kept bursting into fits of laughter which influenced everybody else to laugh with him. I laughed too but only because he was laughing so if he didn't stop, I couldn't stop either!
So, anyway, the amazing part about Wednesdays is the farm practicals. I did horse handling last week which involved haltering a horse from the paddock and leading it into a crusher. We learnt many things thereafter: putting on a bit, tying slipknots, farriering (holding a hoof) and trotting a horse. It was so much fun. One of the best bits is that horses don't get you dirty. My overalls were squeak clean at the end of the session. I just wished I had more time to try haltering other horses to practise.
Yesterday was sheep handling. Unlike horses that are quite confident (size maybe?) sheep just don't get any used to humans no matter how much they were handled before. Unlike horses, halters and leads aren't enough to control and restrain a sheep. So it was a rather awkward experience trying to handle them and getting them to Stay Put.
Tasks:
4. Bloods
It was pretty tough for me because the sheep were skittish but just before you get ahold of them. When I did and by the time I was done with them, my feet were cramping. A lot. And it took a lot of brute strength (at least where I'm concerned) to position one and let it allow me to do what I had to. My best task had to be taking bloods - I had it at one try and did it bleed. I'm just glad I didn't have to poke the poor thing too many times. THAT would make ME upset.
My arms are aching!!!

Tasks:
1. Restrain sheep
flank method (grab some skin and flop)
farmer's method (face to flank; press the rump)
shearer's method (lift and sit)
buckle method (face to flank; buckle a hindleg)
2. Tie sheep
triangle method (measure length of sheep; tie a knot; triangularize hindlegs and head)
lasso method (tie all 4 legs together)

Bitten too much...choking!
I realise that I want to do absolutely EVERYTHING!
1. study
2. work
3. surf
4. moot (Law competition)
5. gym
6. basketball
7. youth camp
...
I enrolled for the moot comp, but they didn't email me the question, so I'm gonna take it as a sign from the big man upstairs that 'hey, easy'. LOL
Surfing is a go, but I promised daddy-o, that I won't let it affect my studies (not doing a good job of that at the moment).
Julia- I want to go white water rafting, but maybe not this time, my hands are tied at the moment.
I was suppose to be a camp captain on a youth camp that Nisha and I are volunteering for. it was suppose to be 2nd week of Oct, Tuesday to Friday. But I've got an ethics presentation on wednesday. BUMMER! So, I was looking at it again, I realise that if I can finish my assignments that I have to hand in that Friday, then...I CAN GO!!! The co-ord said that there will be a car leaving Perth on Thursday, plus, he'll need extra help on Thursday, because of the TREASURE HUNT!!! in search of the gold arrrrrr!
Gosh, this is so exciting, I can hardly wait...we're going to camp WOOHOOO!!!!!
Nish, if you are reading this, surf's gonna be at Scarborough, waves at Leighton ain't gonna be big enough. So i'll see you at Wellington bus port just before 8am.
