Delayed update

I'm on my way to finishing first year! Hell yeah! But so many obstacles on the way. That is, my Critical Thinking essay is due on Monday. I'm blogging and have barely made progress at all. I will remain optimistic whatsoever. There's exams around the corner as well. I would be starting SWOT VAC as of Monday. And is doomed to fail exams. Muahahahahaha. Ok, not so good! But this time I'm aiming for a pass. But never know, I aimed for a pass last semester, and walked out with 2x credits and 2 distinctions. But I don't think I'm getting anywhere, considering that I have barely done anything all semester. Still failing to start studying. But better late than never right?

I received my mark for the Psychology lab report that I've written. And I was pretty pleased to look at the criteria and see a lot of D's and HD marks. I flipped my page over, to find that I got an 80% mark! Woo! About time too. Because if I plan on doing Honours or Phd, I will get no where with my thesis if I can barely attain 70% on my lab reports. But yeah, pretty stoked! And the whole time I was trying to write that report, I was on facebook 75% of the time. GG!

Haha, there's so much to say about school! It's been quite a bland semester. Like I said, Winter school drained me so bad. And now I can't get back on track. I think it's quite difficult, trying to manage 2 jobs and school. But it is manageable, if I wasn't so lazy.
So let's talk about work.
Well NQT is on and off bad days. Sometimes my class is too big and I get frustrated because they're always asking for help when I'm trying to work 1 on 1 with a slower student. I had to move into another class at Braybrook and now I'm teaching grade 4, 5 and 6's in the morning. But for some reason, the work correction seems more difficult -_-" I am glad that the class the pretty smart because the previous tutor whipped them so freaking hard. They were so scared of her.
Ahhh and the Chemist. I am bound to get fired sooner or later. Hahaha. It's been a month since I've started (and since I've blogged ... and ... him) there and some days are good and some days are just horrible. My boss has quite a smart mouth but can be nice when he wants to. He yaps all day long and tries to flirt with young customers. It's not difficult working there, but you just kinda have to self guide yourself around. Learn things at your own pace. But that pace is quite slow because my mind is always preoccupied with something else. Also, the freaky customers that come in because it is a chemist after all. And middle age males who buy viagra. Eww *shivers* ... Then there's the other pharmacist, who's married to Thy (this youth worker I knew back in the day) and he's JUST MAJORLY SCARY. The other day, I miscommunicated with the customer because I can't put through Gold Card special transactions. And the lady said I just walked off. The pharmacist looks at me *full on greases* and said Communicate with the customer properly. Then a few seconds later I walked off to serve other customers and he said it again with a SCARY SCARY FACE. And the reason it's scary is because he's SO DAMN HUGE. Looks like he's gonna bite my head off.
Other than that, the chemist isn't so bad. I work with two of my friends and some days. And there's a lot of standing around and doing nothing/ or atleast pretend you're trying to do something.

Ok, work and school covered. Now umm, social life?
Not that I have much of a social life at the moment but Mr Loverboy and I are on our "seeing status" now. Yeah, I had no idea where we were at because we barely saw each other and spoke on a minimal basis for a few weeks. However, he did tell his friends that we were "seeing" again. So, I guess I'll take it at that. It's been really good between us. Talking and texting. And no fighting so far, so that's good. I did get to see him a few weeks ago. We went to the park and talked about general stuff then watched a movie at Crown. We watched Mao's Last Dance, which was pretty ok. He drove me home afterwards :) But yeah we still need to have that "talk." Ahh.. anyway..
And I finally had my first clubbing experience. LAWL! It wasn't too bad and I did have a good, tipsy night. It was for my friend's birthday. We were meant to go Eve, but ended up Chasers haha. Pretty funny night because some of Hong's friends couldn't get into Eve because of their hair. And we were actually in front of the queue and the guys were blaming my bad luck because of the Seven experience a few months back. Anyway, got to Chasers and downed two shots within 5 minutes. Damn Trang >< Then Alice made me drink even more. I also got picked up in the first 10 minutes I was there. This random girl comes up to me and I really thought she was someone I knew back in the day. But she was asking if I was interested in her friend and if I was single, because he was kind of keen on me. Lol. Anyway, I declined and just stood around. Then Alice told me to go with her to find a friend on the dancefloor and like the guy stopped me and said "let me buy you a drink.." and I said no. Then Alice pushed him. Haha. Kinda glad my first experience was fun and everyone was looking out for me. And I fell on some girl and she was ready to pounce on me but lucky my friend knew her and told her not to because I'm nice. Haha.
Anyway, I said that would be my first and last. But I just feel like drinking again. HAR HAR

There's a few birthdays coming up, but I'm scared to fail my exams :(:( Might have to give most of them a miss.

Anyway, enough from me because I need to finish this essay.
