The Week of Horror

mayanangel — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 11:28:06 GMT

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

WTF?

mayanangel — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 23:26:34 GMT

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.

Easter

mayanangel — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 06:16:14 GMT

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!

More Uni Stupidity

mayanangel — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 00:24:42 GMT

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.

I'M A UNI STUPID!!!

mayanangel — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 09:34:18 GMT

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.

Supanova

mayanangel — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 06:29:46 GMT

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.

mayanangel — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 16:19:21 GMT

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.

mayanangel — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 20:03:30 GMT

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.

mayanangel — Sat, 13 Nov 2010 06:47:03 GMT

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!

mayanangel — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 05:07:28 GMT

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*

mayanangel — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:05:56 GMT

Ok, so it's been weeks since I've posted and not one fic of my promised 200.

I do have a reason for it!

I'm in Uni (part time cause I'm too lazy to move somewhere I can do it full time :P) and I have actually enrolled in five, count 'em 5!, subjects.

My Uni, admittedly, has been re-arranging all its classes and stuff but I have a unit that I'm enrolled in "Industry Overview" supposedly I've been doing this unit since September... Not one fucking assignment, email or correspondence about it. My classes finish on the 27th.

I also have 5 Myths & Symbols, 1 Novel, 16 Writing for Kids, 3 Comp Skills and about 5 Industry Overview ones. Ugh, I have the outlines done for most of them but, I really have no self discipline...

On the subject of fics though, I had all the Kink Table ones planned out... Then I realised they can't be chan... at all. So now I have to re-do it without a requested kink... Ah well.

Nintendo Uni

mayanangel — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:25:46 GMT

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!

I have my Wii system! Do people actually like golf? Or tennis? Causet hats the games I was given with my console and I was all "you suck man, boring!!!"

On the upshot though, I got a couple of my uni assignments done, and have plans for finishing three others tomorrow.

I had actually been worried about one of my assignments, 10,000 words isn't really the easiest of tasks when you can't figure out what you want to write. So instead I switched the names places and stuff and used the fanfic I wrote earlier this year! Worked well, though I'm not sure how good it actually is. Or whether the implications of a creature-threesome in future chapters will be received well... especially in class... oops...

Though I have got some good ideas for nanowrimo this year! I'm torn between doing a Fairy-tale Merthur fic, The second "book" of my last HP nano, or actually writing my own story... Or even doing the Master Plot for Mission_Insane.

Uni, Fics, Procrastination

mayanangel — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:57:20 GMT

Right so, apparently I have no self discipline. I have 200+ fics to write, 30+ assignments and not a one has caught my attention long enough for me to actually write it...

I have done some of most of them but getting into the "zone" to actually finish them? Not going so well...

On the up shot though, I have the assignments for all bar one unit so I can do them! I'm going to Bendigo for the next few days so I figure I should get them done or at least mostly finished.

By "them" of course, I mean the assignments, mostly, probably... Hopefully?

Anyway, I have ideas for most of the fics and am getting there with the assignments...

Hopefully next time I'll be figuring out LJ cuts for definitely not child-worthy fics!

Ta-ta!

mayanangel — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 01:29:03 GMT

So... I have all these uni assignments that need to be done... Like ALL of them... I have only one done, six to do "with the class" and about 16 others I have to do on my own...

I have Myths (easy) & Symbols (fucking hard!), Novel (annoyingly hard atm), Computer skills (don't have the assignments), Writing for Children (too scared to see them after the horror stories my friends have been telling me).

So now, all I need to do is sit on my ass and finish them.

Which is why I have 400 words of pounce!porn, 300 words of master plot and another 20 merthur fics to read...

I'm doing well.

Letter to Kit

mayanangel — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:46:00 GMT

Dear Kit,

Which fucking one????

I have over 500 of the suckers!!!!

*Points to user pic for those reading this and going WTF?*

mayanangel — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:51:29 GMT

Ah, Nightwish, my creative and calming muse.

I've been scrambling around for a piece of work that is full of or uses symbolism. I wrote the beginnings of Vampire short story. Realised it was good enough and added 250 odd words to make it long enough to hand in.

I still hate symbols though. Cause seriously, white dove = (class) peace (me) magic! Symbols mean different things to different people and writing using symbols screws my mind when I actually think of words as symbols. Its just wrong!

Of course I just want to get out of symbolism, mythology is awesome and so fucking easy to write! It's like its wired into my brain to understand mythology, symbolism is just wrong!

My myth is going well though, I picked up a few threads from some varying religions and it exploded. Now I just need to write 10,000 words of a story and hand it in and I've done the major assignments for this year. I'm pretty damn happy!

mayanangel — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:49:06 GMT

I'm tired. Seriously a lack of good sleep over five nights wipes me out, especially after watching the latest episode of Top Gear.

Why would that make you tired you ask? Well when you watch three grown idiots try to maneuver their cars into a car park without waking up their "parents" and laughing your arse off when idiot number 2 crashes into the shed. It starts to make sense. Then when your friend (at whose house you were watching Top Gear) takes you home and proceeds to dick around and see how easy it really is to move a small car it becomes clearer.

Laughing your arse off at midnight, while trying to throw a small car into the Thames, avoid loud noises and not get run down by the moving car takes a lot energy, especially when you're laughing so hard you can't see for the tears.

On another note, I got Merits for all of my Uni coursework last year. I was pretty dammed impressed with myself. 12 months of coursework in 4!
This year we're doing Myths and Symbols. Mythology is a breeze but symbolism screws me over. Who came up with these things!!!
I have to write a piece of symbolism and I have to tear a symbolic piece apart and explain it.... Sometimes I hate Uni.

mayanangel — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:00:24 GMT

So three months later I finally actually wrote me a new entry.

I did the NaNoWriMo in March and made it! 50063 words of total fanfiction crap. I plan to redo it later, it went shit at the end and my writing changed too... that was odd to realise.

I actually kind of like my job. its boring but now I actually have things to do, Coles is shitting me though because I only get a few hours a week. When they employed me Andrew implied I'd be getting part time not causal hours. Eh, too bad, the money's surprisingly good.

I'm doing Uni again, same diploma different electives. Novel 1 and Myths&Symbols. Its so much fun, I'm really enjoying it. I'm also doing Creative Writing, Computer Skills (Core subject, I have to do it), Childrens Writing & Industry Overview (when Ballarat gets around to getting in contact).

I'm now seriously sick of Melbourne... I went for five days, then came home for two, then went for two, now home for five days and going back for two on Monday. Though I did get to see some good friends the first time, saw Storm nearly beat the Warriors and settle for a draw (Yes, I'm a mad Rugby fan), and next week I'm seeing Brooks & Dunn. But still Melbourne gets kinda boring so I'm looking forward to skipping class again next week to go see friends in bendigo. I'm also getting my hair cut. Currently it's all one length, about a third of the way down my back but I'm getting a fringe back. I'f you havent' seen Asuna from Negima! go look up her picture, cause that's the hairstyle I'm hoping for. I've had it before when I was about ten but not since I had to grow it out for th choir.

I am looking forward to going to Melb at the end of May, I'm going to Pink!

June (or is it July?) I'm going to SupaNova in Sydney and I'm going to hope (really, really, really hope) that the ice-creamery-dessert place Passionflower still have the cherry blossom iocecream! Yes, I'm going to a very expensive ice cream place just for one flavour of ice cream, I know I'm odd.

Write or Die : Dr Wicked's Writing Lab

mayanangel — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 06:57:51 GMT

Oh my god! Finally!

Something I can set to actually help me write my stuff! Anyone who knows me will probably realise that Kamikaze mode will the setting I use as there is not much else that will get me to keep writing instead of going off an reading something... whether its smut fiction or a real book (yes I have real books, book shelves full of them!)

http://lab.drwicked.com/writeordie.html

The main reason I'll use this though is because my friends from class and I are going to do NaNoWriMo (check out the website for more details just add .com to it) and wee're doing it in March. The idea of the program is the make you write and completely remove the editing process. After all you can edit whenever you have time, its more important to get it down first.

Pencils Books and Dirty Looks

mayanangel — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 09:49:42 GMT

Ah, school shopping. I hate the clothes and the bags and the lunch boxes part but oh the stationary!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it, I will freely admit to being addicted to stationary, whether its coloured pencils, books, inks, paper, erasers, white out, grey leads, pens or "other" I love it! I have a membership card to KiKi K andd I'm seriously thinking about getting one for Smiggle too, usually I don't like them but the last few visits to the store in Melbourne Central have been both friendly and useful.

I start Uni, (Professional Writing and Editing Diploma) on the 20th and I need, well no, I WANT, new stuff. I already have my eye on the Smiggle pencil case made entirely of working zippers and the pacer pencil from KiKi K. I do really need more work books, cause my last two 5 section notebooks got filled over the break. I seem to have lost my eraser pen so I'll be buying a new one of those, SO useful!

Of all things though that I like and don't actually need (odd that usually I need to buy a new set cause they're dead at the end of the year) its Highlighters. I have three sets of them, all in working condition! I'm really surprised because I used them to make and detail my map of the world (not that it has a name as its fictional) and I used them to plot shipping routes, travel routes that eight characters take and other stuff too...

mayanangel — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 02:24:23 GMT

I don't know why I bother with journals both online and paper, because invariably I forget I have them, lose them or just plain can't be bothered. I have a very boring life and really there isn't that much to fill a journal with... And seriously who n earth would want to read the journal of yaoi fangirl with nothing but a overactive imagination?

Eh, I'm in a very odd mood, bouncy and morbid all at once...

On that note though I'm wondering if there are any handy basic little "help files" for this site. Becuase while most of my friends would simply not read or not care if I put NC-17 smutty drabbles in here others might and a way to put lock it without using the "friend only" button would be handy to know...

Old Years Thoughts

mayanangel — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 00:31:36 GMT

So its nearly New Years and I remembered I actually have an lj account. I got to thinking about the year, generally it's been a good year and I decided what the hell!

My dad got out of prison, I got a new job and I decided I wanted my Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing.

I got laid, I got pissed and I got torn apart by my own family. I realised that Blood is thicker than Water but it doesn't mean anything and your mum really can be your best friend.

I learned that girls are as good as boys and boys can be just as bitchy as girls and that even if you're trying hard everything can still fall apart.

I found I like RPGs on PC almost as much as PS2 and DS and also that I adore music in Japanese, Turkish and French. I hate wasabi as much as last year and I still can't wrap my tongue around the lyrics to Lamento or Sobakasu.

I like yaoi more than yuri and still can't get over how bloody easy everything seems until you try it.

Most notably though I realised that even when everything is fucked over there's someone there waiting to catch you.
