RAEVILLE

Thursday, July 26, 2007

Things haven't been looking as great, but I'm currently in a position where I can say that things are better. I'm still not over the loss of my phone, but the thought that there will be better things in time to come helps me move on. Better things like a new phone at the end of this term, and the long weekend following the trials that start next week. And the little things like learning a new song on the guitar that's got a part for me to improvise, going to the gym 3 times a week to get endorphins running through you, and getting an effort award for four out of five subjects that you do -- these are the little things that make me feel better.

I've started English tutoring. I have an English tutor, rather. I haven't actually had any classes yet. Not till next Tuesday afternoon. I haven't even started and my new tutor (who goes by the name Peter) has given me a mammoth amount of homework. I've heard of his highly critical ways and strong sarcasm, so that should really be the encouragement I need to get everything done.

Thoughts of the end of school nearing have really been disturbing my mind for the past few days. It's not easy to avoid. Everyone is filling in their references for tutors and there have been alot of universities coming to school to give talks about different courses and etc. I recently received a copy of the UAC 2008 Guide, which is the official guidebook for all major NSW universities, the courses they provide and the requirements to enter. Upon receiving the book, I have learnt that the Visual Communications course at UTS requires a UAI of 81! It's only 90 if you want to have the government pay for your fees, but if you're a full fee paying student, it's 81! So now I have a new target UAI -- 85. It's achievable, in my mind. Eventhough it's 5 off from my last target, it feels more achievable. Let's hope I have the strength of mind to make it happen.

I'll be off now.
I need to read about the origins of the Cold War before going to bed.

Cheers.

PS. What do you think, Sony Ericsson W660i or K810i? I don't like the buttons of the K810i, and I'd much prefer the walkman's design... But the K810's camera is super cool, although that doesn't bother me very much. Hmm!

PPS. I know she probably wouldn't read this (ever), but...

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY TO MELISSA!

RAEVILLE came about some time in the year of 2001. or 2002. it's been so long that i've forgotten already.
it all started here (i doubt the link works anymore though), in a dodgy little blog page. then it moved to here. a year later, and we moved to better things, namely blogspot.

ps. raeville is best viewed on mozilla firefox. just because it's better :)
