Busy Busy

Wow I've actually forgotten that I have a blog lol!

Been so busy.  Intensive on Greek is now over... But still had 2 sessions on Greek every monday.  Next Monday is the big Exam...and then we go straight into Greek B (continuing every monday).

I've decided to do New Testaments on Wednesday nights instead of Tuesdays morning.  This way I only have classes Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday!  Classes are from around 9am-1pm on Mon and Thurs.  On Wednesday I have classes from 9-1pm.  Then a break.  Then night class from 5:45pm-9pm (with dinner included).  It wasn't too bad last week, as I just hung around and did some study and talked to some people.  The evening class is actually good as it's with mostly different people.  Mainly it's people who usually work; and they just do one subject a semester.

Already got 2 essays due.  A bit overwhelmed with the workload atm....I'm actually considering if I really should work Fridays at all....

Having said that..last week I basically went out on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday hahahahahah.......  Okay I need to study this week.

And yet...it's hard to spend the whole day studying...I'd rather just like half a day, and then meet up/go out with ppl for the other half....hmm.

On another topic, my parents are coming back this Wednesday.  I've had the house to myself for the past 3 weeks.....and it's a complete mess haha.  I need to do some packing/cleaning tomorrow I guess.

On another topic...I got a parking fine today :(  I usually park in a 5hr free parking, which is situated about 3-5min walk from the college.  Today I came out and saw the fine. I checked the time I was fined, and it was like 2:25pm.  Now I dropped the car off at around 9:20am.....so that meant I was only over by 5 mins when they fined me!!!!!   It's not too bad though...as I've been leaving the car there for like 7hours most days I'm at Ridley lol!  And only got fined today.  $61.....guess it's not too bad.  Though still very very sucky >.<

Guess I'll be moving the car from tomorrow onwards......

Or maybe I should just get a motorbike again..... though today it was raining very heavily >.<

One week of new life

So it's been one week since I started my "new life"!  Today's Sunday, and tomorrow starts a new week of Bible college.

It's been actually really really good.  The teacher's been great.  I love being back in class-room learning style rather than lectures.  And so far I've been able to pick up Koine Greek pretty well.  I don't like rote learning, but I find that I'm pretty good at it.  I just keep rewritting it till it sticks in my head haha.

The first day was a killer, but after that it's actually been pretty cruisy.  It's actually not as hard/intensed as I thought it would be.  However I still have to spend every afternoon studying.  After class finish around 1pm I would study till around 4pm then go home.  Still a lot better than working haha.

I've confirmed that study life is way way way way better than work life.  I always tell my friends who are in uni that working full-time sux, but now I've confirmed it.  It's so flexible and good.  Even if I stay around and study, I still get home around 4:30pm, in easy traffic.  Ridley's only around 30 mins from my house (tho now that school's started it'll probably be around 35-40mins).  Much better than the 50mins I take to go to Carlton (even tho Carlton's only like 2 km further, the traffic really banks up near my work!).   I love starting at 9:30am, although once normal uni starts I think I start 9am for most classes.  I find that I can concentrate for quite long, compared to back in my uni days.  I guess working full-time really does build up ur concentration.  Also I have so much motivation to study!!  I hope the other subjects are just as good and interesting!

Praise God, this place is great.  Although near the end of the week I was started to get a bit tired of constantly studying...hopefully the weekend's refreshed me and I can start again.  Supposedly it'll be similar work-load in 2nd week, but get super intensed in the final week.

We have our young adults retreat this Friday....guess I'll just bring all my work and study there hahahaha!

So far everything's been great...except I have no job so have no income.  Also been playing pool a lot...and people don't seem to pay or just pay very little...and thus I've been paying for the bulk of pool.  Like in the last 3 days I've spent almost $50 on pool...... yeah I've gotta start cutting down.  That's a lot of spending even IF I was working.  But since I'm not I need to really cut back.

No plans to see anyone this week, so should be ok (last week I have plans to meet up with ppl on Wed/Thurs/Fri, but Thurs one person canceled on me so ended up being out on Wed/Fri).  Study study study.  

Though I still want to hang out with people.......always need friends......

Sigh...friends....friendship.....hmmmm...
