March 29/2010 :: Homework is Weird Here

Day 66
Mood: Relieved and yet still a little nervous
Weather: Beautiful, a bit rainy, but the perfect temperature

I hate the way you hand in assignments here. You have to put them in a box, a drop box. With a paperclip. Awesome. Plus I get all worried about the pages being lost etc. even though I did look over all of them and handed it in to the right drop box.

That's the funny thing about my memory. Sometimes I completely forget doing something and then I stress about it forever afterward. Did I lock the door when I left? Did I leave the oven on? Did I have all the pages?

I hope so. It's about all I can do.

=_=

But beyond that things are going really well~ I feel full of energy and really excited. One assignment done, the one that was the hardest, and now I can move on and really enjoy my time here. I've got some things I'd like to do over the break and I'm planning a visit to some family friends. Plus Easter is this weekend and that means the new Doctor Who episode.

Whee~~

And my birthday is coming up in less than a month! Also super awesome!!

January 21/2010 :: Detached

Day -1 (Tomorrow is the day)
Mood: I'm going where tomorrow? No way.
Level of Excitement/Crazy: 4/10

You know how things stress you out? When you have so much time on your hands because you were finished packing a week ago so now all that is left is time for your mind to wander. To stress out over things that you shouldn't stress out over. Welcome to my brain.

I'm not amused by it myself. It makes sleeping a chore when it's supposed to be ME TIME. Sleeping, or post-sleep, is the time when my brain should be at its most creative. I look forward to it most nights. Not when I'm stressed though.

So I tell myself that things will work out. And I believe it to. Things do work out, they always do. Worrying about cash? Bang! Scholarship! Worrying about stress? Bang! A new RP thread to delight in! Worried about accessing the internet over in Oxford because you won't have a login for the first week? Bang! Two seconds later you'll get an email explaining a free wireless intended for your use in that first week!

It's like flipping magic.

Thank you universe. You keep things in balance.

So yeah, basically I'm roaming the interwebs. Looking for funny and amusing things to eat up my time.

I think I've overused the stumble button.

My mood is oddly detached. Like I can't believe I'm going anywhere special tomorrow. It's a normal day. BUT IT ISN'T! Ah well, I'd rather be detached than stressed.

Cheerio!!

1.5 Stressed Out

Part 1 - Preparing for the Escapade

So, I have yet to get my acceptance package. Though I did get an email from Oxford-Brookes. They said they'd emailed me before but that they never got a response. Turns out their email never went through originally.

Turns out the course modules I picked weren't running this year. So I had to pick new ones. So I picked 4. Then I decided I wanted to do an anthropology one as well. So I emailed them a second time, correcting my choices.

Yeah, stressful

1.4 - Impatience

Part 1 - Preparing for the Escapade

November 7, 2009

I am beginning to get a little impatient. Not going to lie. It is November now and I still have heard nothing from Oxford Brookes about my exchange. No news on where I'm living, what courses I'm in, how much it'll cost, what I need to do for visas/banking/insurance. This is driving me absolutely crazy. Especially since they promised I'd get something by November 9th. That's Monday.

That is freaking Monday. Guaranteed I won't get it by then.

Is there some reason they have to cut this so late?

Seriously?!

*grumble*
