Theres a Truth Begging to be Told

A few weeks back I enrolled into my 2008 Uni courses. I would have liked to have said that I had less trouble than last year but I didn’t. I have another unavoidable clash with Chinese which I can’t fix, I also almost flipped out when trying to enrol into Chinese, classes were quickly filling up and I had to wait a few days to enrol while this was going on. I think that in the end I was the second to last person to enrol.

Just yesterday morning I was woken by my phone going off, it was someone from UniSA ringing to tell me that I had to switch a tutorial time as I was the only student in that tutorial. Basically I have another clash, both on linguistics tutorials. So basically I miss out on a 2hr tutorial and on about 20minutes off another tutorial. Great, at least it gives me more free time. ^_^

What else has been going down with me, umm not a lot. I’ve been working hard on this new website idea, I have almost finished a design and am slowly building up content. It looks as though it will take me even longer to build up a strong database of content before I launch. Its not all bad though, it should give my brother plenty of time to work on the CMS.

I’ve also been meeting up with Matty Jay to do more video reviews for danielprimed.com and doing the weekly Chinese tutorials. I probably would have met up with a friends from Uni this week but my mind has been devoted entirely to this new project and has sometimes been occasionally distracted by the excellent Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam on the DS. I’m kinda pissed as I feel as though I have been very insincere by allowing my work load to get ahead of me.

Now that I’ve realized that its going to take a while longer to get this site done, have completely enrolled into Uni and quit my previous job, I’ve decided to relax a bit. I’m looking forward to spending more time with my friends and sleeping in some more as these other activities have been way too time consuming and straining lately. They’ve really distracted me over the past 2 weeks but were essential to what I need to get done.

I think that I’ll try to spend the last month of the holidays getting back into a healthy routine where I balance my spread of: blogging, spending time with friends, gaming and Chinese.

You see last year(at the start of Uni) my uncertainty surrounding my Uni choices, girl friend trouble and overall newbieness to Uni life threw me on a complete discourse which took a few months to figure out. And I don’t want to get back into that mess again, I just felt completely out of wack.

I ought to just throw out some rough goals to keep me on track:

Blogging
Continue the quality blog posts
Spend extra time (due to no job) to bank additional posts and improve overall quality
Advertise effectively through social bookmarking, foruming and continue network with other bloggers

Friends
When Uni is back on catch up more during the breaks
Spend more time at the arcades
Ensure that we continue to do stuff on Friday nights and on weekends
Work on other projects with Matty Jay
Continue to make more friends at Uni this year

Chinese
Spend just as much time as last semester practicing with Chinese friends
Do more intensive reading and listening
Fully understand all of the vocab, grammar, main text and additional texts each week

Website Work
Prioritize the spare time on weekends and days off to work on the upcoming websites

Games
Play more games, increase well being thru gaming
Round of the collection, dive back into eBay buying
Organize import games, arcade sticks etc.
Continue to learn more niche gaming

Personal
Relax a bit more
Keep blogging for yourself
Sleep enough

Yeah that ought to do it.
