So, it occurs to me I should post this as an example of why work, study and fucking up your wrist don't work.

So, it starts last Friday with a doc appointment that involves five sentences, continues with a complete down of all bigpond services in the area (internets, phones, eftpos, it has telstra it was down) for a full 24hours, followed up by an ultrasound that then involved a single sentence from the doc passed to me by a receptionist. Amongst all this is an 800 word essay for one unit of my BA where I've done 1500 words for the other unit, only 24hours to type, research and send off said essay, two opens at work (0645 two days in a row - some god up there hates me), missing my best friends call three times (she who is in USA with her beloved and whom I haven't spoken to for weeks) and a shopping trip to Kmart where I had to try on all the clothes I wanted to buy. This trip is follwed by a dinner, a glass of red wine and a very close call with the casualty room for shock. Mostly beacuse the essay, ultrasound, work opens that were 5 and 7 hours long respectively, dinner and shopping were within 60 hours of each other.

All because my wrist has been painful for just over a month now....
So yes, my week has sucked majorly, and I still don't know why my wrist hurts. Currently my options seem to be a Sprain, a Strain, a Partial Dislocation and I'm Just Weird. I'm thinking I may have tried to dislocate it during yoga one week, the other option was RSI but the doc says my ultrasound is normal.

So after all that, This happens:
I love my job, I really do. So it's nice to know I still have it after extending my week of horror. This one consisting mainly of sleep, work and another uni assignment I thought I'd finished. Oh and did I mention when I get tired my til is out and I get called for a counseling session? This time we've set out some rules - no more than 20 hours over four or five shifts. This is EXCELLENT!
I didn't realise just how tired trying to get my til right and get my study in and everything had made me until I slept 18 hours in one hit. Usually I need about 10 a night, but 18 is scary.
Assignment is going well though, the section I thought would be hardest was the easiest part and the easy part is still giving me 300 words worth of trouble but its getting there. XD

That's a new one...

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Did you know Easter is actually the spring equinox? I did, but I didn't know the history behind it... I'm hoping to find out in one of my units....

Easter was interesting this year. I went to the parents church and actually enjoyed the sermon *gasp*

Of course I'm still freaking over uni, but now I'm more positive about it. Something clicked in me the other day, I just feel better about everything.

I'm starting yoga this Thursday and getting my rsa too. Hoping to start tae kwon do next Wednesday. Might be starting belly dancing too if its not going to class with anything else.

I'm also learning time management which is nice really. No one ever took the time to explain HOW. They just said manage your time better!

Ok... Freaking about how much study I have to do has commenced, to be completed by no earlier than 26-12-2012.

In case you didn't notice that means FEBRUARY NEXT YEAR!!!!

Also, holidays? Breaks? Spaces of time in which I can ignore the world? Not happening. Each unit starts the day after the last one finishes. Much better than the two week crossover I thought I had. I read the dates wrong ok?

I think what amuses me the most at the moment, is that I actually need to buy a Bible. I have one, my parents have two each and I think there's still a couple floating in the packing somewhere. But no, these aren't good enough, you know why? (And here's the amusing part) They don't have the apocrypha in them. That's right people I have to buy a Bible with the apocrypha added, just for study. But here's the real kicker - this isn't a religious studies class! This is my Archaeology and the Early History of Israel class.

On a more annoying note, that bible is one of four (count 'em FOUR) books I need for that class. My Buddhist studies class also has three books. And my animals in myth class has two. This is on top of the other two books I've already ordered, only one of which I need for the first set of classes - two of my courses use the same text.

Holy mother of which ever god you believe in... I just enrolled at university...

And not just any university I enrolled at Open University (open.edu.au) for my Bachelor of Arts majoring in Religious Studies a.k.a Comparative religion.

I do "The Long Search", "Religions of Asia", "Religion Studies: Myth, Ritual and the Sacred", "Buddhist Studies 1", "Archaeology and History of Israel" and "Animals in the Ancient World". Each unit is 13 weeks long with 3 hours of study a day... Not sure if that's supposed to be per subject though....

Here's the bit that make me go wow! I sent in my enrollment enquiry at 5pm... I got off the phone ten minutes ago. They rang me at 7PM!!!
And my enrollment took ten minutes! The guy was awesomely friendly and helpful - he even offered me a unit to do (to fill space) that I absolutely love. I hadn't even seen it on the list.

So, I'm a uni stupid who starts her online BA on May 30th.

SO AWESOME!!!!!

Considering barely anyone new it was my birthday, totally felt like a party. Had so much fun at the authors panels, so informative and hilarious too!

Jennifer Fallon, Marianne De Peirres, Rowena Cory Daniells, Isobelle Carmody, Robin Hobb and Trudi Canavan. Unfortunately we didn't get a panel of all five of them but they're all amazing.

Currently Robin Hobb (awesomely nice and friendly) owns my soul. Her first book (that I've read), Assassin's Apprentice I've tried to read before, but this time? I've had it barely twenty-four hours and already, I'm only a chapter from the end. Two books to go for the series and then on to one of the other trilogies I bought.

Still deciding between (the amazing, down to earth) Rowena and (the so fantastically friendly) Trudi. Actually, thinking about it, I have read Trudi's series twice before, so I'll probably gush over my signed copies for a bit and then head for Rowena.

Got some really solid things to think about from their panels and just from talking to them. I've always had trouble finishing what I start, big lazy/discipline troubles that have set back my work both academically and creatively. That was probably their most repeated advice. Finish what you start, even if its crap.

"You can fix a bad page, you can't fix a blank one".

Okay, so 2 and a 1/4 hours into my 24th year and I'm so buzzed on sugar I'm not sure I'll actually sleep tonight...
Colossal Sundae is awesome... but watching Luke and Jason go for it is a bit like watching sharks in a feeding frenzy; scary, very, very scary.
Supanova this weekend then three weeks off from class... Not a bad way to start the year.

Sooooo.... Yesterday waas one of the more embarassing days of my supervisors career. After having had 2 weeks off for a virus, hives and then another virus I was finally backk at work...
I pick up a 10kg bag of potatoes to scan them onto the register... And the first words out of my mouth when the don't scan? "You've got to SHITTING ME!" Fortunately both my co-workers and the customers found it hilarious, probably because I was bright red.
Oh well. Apparently my appropriate language filter wasn't working LOL.

So we all know that I'm a lazy git. Who has amanaged to finally get her assignments done, mostly, finished several of her Mission Insane fics and is still seriously considering doing a double major in Psych and Lit with a minor in Comparative Religion.

On that note, Uni fees suck. Seriously, I don't know how people pay for uni without getting a HECS fee... And yet I still want one...

Suckily, I have also been requested to not attend two very important dates for two different people I consider family... That hurt. I get it, kind of, but it hurt, alot.

By this time next week I should have every single assignment done, especially as I'm not working til Thursday. Oh! And, I'm a supervisor at work now! Yay!

Right, so I'm a lazy bitch and totally acknowledge it. On the upshot, I have all bar 12 of my assignments done! I also have the beginnings of about 26 of my 200+ fics! So many idea's I really need to sit down and just sort them out...

Uni starts again soon, they fucked me over with my assignments for bits last year but in general it went well. Hoping to start my BA in Lit and Psych and maybe the Librarian course too on top of all my other stuff...

So yeah I'm even procrastinating by posting to LJ... sad huh? *wanders off to read Danse Macabre and enjoy Anita screwing Nathaniel*
