People should remind me that I have a blog.

I should really change the name of this blog from "Everyday Pointless Ramblings." to "Sporadically Updated Pointless Ramblings." I was inspired to also post when I saw on Chris' MSN that he just posted. So how have we all been since March 21st, seeing as that was the last time I posted? Hopefully as well as me.

I tell you all something - uni keeps one very busy. So busy in fact that one rarely has time to do anything fun at all. So people - as much as I love my degree, don't do a health science/medical course. It exhausts you almost to the point of no return. I don't know how I'm still functioning with the little sleep I get from trying to balance my study and something that might possibly resemble a social life if you turn your head and squint really hard. So pick something easier and do yourselves a favour - like acting or something. Those acting kids seem to never have any work to do...

Speaking of social lives (or better said lack thereof) let me tell you something else to never start doing: internet dating. In all seriousness I signed up for eHarmony as a joke with a couple of friends and this escalated exponentially. We then also signed up for Plenty Of Fish and Oasis Active and I now have more men after me than I can poke a stick at and some of the guys are just real creeps and I don't know how to delete the accounts. It's really driving me insane. Don't ever sign up for it.

So the uni year is finally over and I've suffered through six exams in ten days. I am thoroughly stuffed and cannot wait to get home. I think I did fairly well but I know that I failed one or two of the exams at least. Chemistry and I were never good friends and although our relationship improved last semester we've now gone downhill and we'll probably not be on good terms ever again. Chem has just been so abusive to me lately - I think I should file a domestic violence complaint. The same goes for most of my other suitors, too. Like for instance Physiological Sciences 1 was mistreating me last semester and then we reached an agreement and calmed down and then came back with a vengeance during the exam. Scientific Statistics is one hell of complicated individual. One minute you think you understand all the formulas and such and then a question gets thrown out there and you're completely stumped. A subject I would rather leave behind though it will probably come back to complicate my life further. Applied Legal Studies (Forensics), Physiological Sciences 2 and Microbiology are all fairly nice to me and sometimes we border on flirty behaviour. On occasion it goes a little too far and we just get all complicated again because they want commitment and I'm just not ready for it.

So I say it again: DO NOT take a medical/health related uni course. It will be your death.

On a completely random note I have had the worst craving for watching all twelve seasons of Law & Order: SVU. The downside is that I have none. I've also been getting back into Sanctuary and I have now become a massive fan of Amanda Tapping.

I think that is going to be all for now. Seriously now though if people want me to keep posting on this thing you should all remind me that I have this blog and that I should update.

So yeah, it's been a while...

I can't maintain blogs. Seriously, I must have close to 10 of them and maybe visit one or two on the odd occasion when I really, really have nothing better to do. Like today. I submitted my Stats assignment already, ran out of comments to make on Facebook, ran out of things to do on FarmVille and now I'm here. I think I might be nice though to keep this up to date, people can read it and listen to me rabbit on about uni life and such.

Speaking of uni life: it's pretty cool. I don't have to go to lectures if I don't want to but its generally advisable because you don't learn things if you don't go to lectures. But the exciting part is that I don't have to go and if I don't go I don't need a note to say why I wasn't there. Man, uni is so much better than high school. Don't not go to uni, kids. And if you do go to uni don't go where all your friends are going - go to a place where you meet all new people. Sure it might be easier to just live at home whilst studying because Mum and Dad are there and you don't have to do shit all, but you never learn that way. Sure I'm sad to not see my friends pretty much at all anymore but I've met people here in Wagga that are almost as awesome as those people I left behind. I don't know them so well yet but with a uni like CSU kids come from all over the state without knowing anybody. Everybody's pretty much in the same metaphorical boat.

The thing is, you're bound to find somebody somewhere along the line that will become a new close friend of yours. And even if you're not best friends with someone straight away it's not so awful because there's others that are willing to have you tag along with them to wherever because they take pity on you. Also being thrown in the deep end isn't so bad. You learn to fend for yourself if you're one to rely on others. That scared the shit out of me when coming to uni. God forbid I'd have to do things on my own - take initiative and not hide behind my friends, my parents or whatever.

This way you also learn who your real friends are because the ones who you used to talk to everyday may not be the ones you talk to every day at uni. I'm glad I picked to go to Wagga. The uni is great and the people are amazing. I live with a bunch of the craziest people and it's totally alright with me. I really wouldn't have uni life any other way.
