Numb

I feel like I achieved nothing in this first week back at uni. I swear i didn't take out my books at all, and i didnt prepare for my tutes this week. Every mid-sem/semester break i always tell myself that I need to work harder, and the first week back I already let myself down. I don't know why i don't like doing work. I really want to be as studious as I was back in high-school, but every time i try i just find myself procrastinating and not paying attention at all. I think it's mainly because i have too much freedom here..

Anyway, it is a long weekend in canberra this weekend, and I planned to go back to visit Melbourne. On tuesday, I booked my tickets to go back, i texted all my mates and informed them that I would be in town, I clicked "confirm payment" on the VLine Website...and 5 minutes after, I got a call from work. They asked me to come into work for my first shift on wednesday. I don't know why they even chose wednesday because i already told them that I couldn't make tuesday and wednesday due to uni, so they told me that they'd call me back later that day. At that point i was freaking out because I was for sure that Vodafone would call me and ask me to come in anytime later in the week. I felt like I had to cancel my trip back to melbourne because they could call me in at anytime. I was devastated. All my friends back in melbourne thought that I was trolling them. One minute I tell them that I'm coming down and start booking plans, and the next minute I'm not even coming at all. I feel so bad because I haven't been back to Melbourne in ages, and I could have gone during the midsem, but i decided not to. I have no idea when my next opportunity to go back to Melbourne would be. I'm starting to miss everyone a little more.

My life has been pretty boring lately, so i will end it here.

Julia Sheer is back!

HELLO HOLIDAYS

It's currently 4:05 AM on a monday morning and I am sitting here in this study room with my friends absolutely exhausted and tired. Who releases an assignment on the day which holidays begin and make it due 72 hours later? The ANU, that's who. I've been working my ass off doing this damn assignment for the last 13 hours. I managed to get it done, and now i feel so dead. I'm the first to finish out of everyone in the study room, so now I'm just waiting for them to finish. This probably won't be for another few hours. I'll just keep myself entertained by writing this blog post and scrolling through tumblr.

I can now officially welcome the holidays! No more exams, no more assignments, just free time for two weeks! I made the decision to not go back to Melbourne during these holidays and instead, go to sydney. I'm quite excited to experience Australia's SECOND best city and just see what all the fuss is about. It should be an interesting and fun week planned.

I'm actually really bored at the moment, so I'm going to start looking up some potential ideas for my birthday next year. I want to get a villa/suite in the crown towers in Melbourne. My only problem would be whether all my new canberra friends are willing to make the trip down to Melbourne. It's too far from canberra. It sucks! I might just have some sort function in canberra, but I swear that there really is nothing to do here that would be interesting at all. There's no awesome bars in Canberra like the ones in Melbourne such as Maeve Fox or The Boatbuilder's Yard. If I could find one, then i would definitely have my party there.

Anyway, I'm going to ride back to BNG and go shower, get changed and stuff and come back to the study room to make sure my friend finishes their assignment. Willing to all nighter with them to make sure they finish.

I didn't really like 360 when I saw them at GTM earlier in the year, but for some reason whenever I hear "run alone" on the radio, i get excited.

Unused skills.

I wish i could play my clarinet more. I feel like I brought it all the way to canberra for nothing. To waste space. I started playing in grade 2, which means that I have been playing for 11 years now. I would  hate to have my skills just go to waste. I need to find some sort of orchestra or concert band to get back into it. I remember all the great memories that i had from playing in band back in Melbourne. As geeky as it sounds, I wish I could re-live them. Band would probably have to be one of my more happier memories of high-school. I'm going to add a resolution to my list, and that is to find a band to join. I miss playing with a group of muso's, playing in clarinet ensembles, and taking solos. I miss the sound of the flutes and clarinets intertwining and harmonising, i miss the amazing build ups that the timpani brings, I miss the heavy sounds of the lower brass, and i miss screeching with high notes on my clarinet.

Anyway, I'm going to keep this post short as I have to study for an exam that i have tomorrow night. Here's a video I came across of some orchestra doing MGMT-Kids

faarrrk, I miss them clarinet/flute runs.
