So, the thing about stress at uni is that you will pour over and perfect the first essay in the assignment period. You will take make everyone you know read it and demand they tell you how to make it better. You will badger your lecturer, visit the Student Learning Centre, and you will read half the library in attempt to enrich your essay with all this research. You will structure your essay so it is rational and pleasant to read. Your ideas will flow in a logical order, and your conclusion will bolster the points of the essay.

However, a week and half later in your fourth/fifth/sixth assignment, you will throw a bunch of words together, your paragraphs will be clunky and won’t quite make the point your going for and you’ve only read half your readings. You won’t really know what your talking about, but continue to blather on in attempt to make things ‘fit’.

. . .

That is where I am at now, at the last essay in this assignment period. And I’m ready to hand it in, badly written ideas and references be damned.

It’s a bit weird sitting at work and talking to one of the engineers. This particular engineer is about the same age as my dad, fairly arrogant, and may you suffer the wrath of his fury if you dare interrupt his playing of Railway Tycoon . . .

Basically he’s in a position of power, here at work, because currently he’s the only one who can make things happen when you need them to, if you ask nice and bribe him with chocolate and coffee. He demands respect, and ego flattery.

But, I find it hard to look him in the face when I constantly get a whole bunch of facebook requests from him, with things like ‘Do you find This Engineer sexy?’, ‘Hot or Not’, ‘What Karma Sutra Position Are You?’, ‘What is your kissing Style?’

. . .

Facebook is not always your friend.

Quinn has delightfully taken to leaving all his things in random places, and alot of our things too. But the best part is when he’s found something he’s left, and takes it away again.

For example:

It appears I am now one of those people who posts pictures about the flowers they find outside, like they have only just discovered macro mode.
