It's finals time and I'm trying to focus and study...doing a mediocre job of it so far. Finally hunkered down and got some work-work done as well...not sure if it's enough to justify what I've been charging, but it's progress...

Aside from that, life with Mark is good...it's hard to be as hard on myself as usual when he's here being so nice...

It's almost 10 and I'm tired and hungry...not sure if I will stay up much longer than this. Shouldn't. Tomorrow has to be a good study day. I'm running out of time. Only 3 more days to study before the onslaught of tests...I know that studying will help...but in a way, I also think that cramming at the last minute just won't be good enough and won't produce anything except panic. I just hope I know enough.

On the bright side, the exchange rate has been in our favor for once and I got a large chunk of tuition brought over. Nice.

The neck spasms stopped after 3 full days of pain.

Skipped class today for work related stuff, but am gonna stay home the rest of the day because I can. Because I want to.

It's a new day and I'm trying.

I keep looking around to understand why it feels like everything is falling down around me. Is it because my planets are out of alignment? Is it one of God's lessons? Fate? Sucky thing is, there's never an answer and there never will be one.

It was just a crappy week.

Lost 5,000+ in the crashing market, got my scooter stolen, had issues at work, bought a dryer that was faulty, and my Castle Crashers account was wiped out.

None of these problems could be classed as "the end of the world" type situation, but any one of them really sucks, and all of them in sequence is just a bit too much for a person already on edge about the point of life altogether. It's just frustrating. I am frustrated.

It's just money...

Feels like there's less time these days...or maybe I'm better at filling up the time that used to be spent truly idle. Life with Mark's been good; it feels like this is the way things should be...I still like him.

School is a pain. Finals start at the end of the month and I'm not ready. I don't know what's going to happen, but I pray I pass...next to the last set of finals. I can dooooo eeeettt.

Aside from that, we're now on a low-carb kick and my goodness I just feel hungry all the time. Nothing unmanageable, but in terms of food planning a little more complicated if you don't want to eat the same 2 things every day.

Not sure if I am gonna get any more work done tonight. I've kind of had it for the day...this is gonna be a busy few weeks.

So, it's basically all done.

Mark's here, internet has been installed, and another week is coming to a close. Money problems are letting up a little; current USD/NZD rate is around 65cents, and I've been given a new project to work on that will finish me out til the end of the year and into next.

It's finally coming together and will hopefully settle down for a little while because school is getting more and more chaotic by the day.

Ok...let's see. Weekend was fine. Did more house stuff and hung out with Elly - who looks ripe and ready to pop any day now. As of today, the internet is still not working, but aside from that, house stuff is pretty much done. Bought a midget dresser for 20 bucks off of trademe, which leaves me with 17.80NZD to my name right now. It's a little sad, but eh, that's life I guess. The place is really cozy and I wanted to show Mark before he got here...but again, no internet, so no luck...

It all feels really stressful...between the move, lack of internet, lack of money, and the abundance of school work that I haven't kept on top of... sigh. It's just tough. I'm sure everything will come together soon enough...

Less than one week to go!!

I'm really loving the place, I can't wait for Mark to get here. =)

I spent the afternoon writing down most of the important dates for the next few months...sadly, there's so much going on that I'm not sure how much fun I'll be...I'm hoping that Mark doesn't mind that I'm no fun.

Aside from that, same ol' same old. Just a a little while longer and everything will change. Awesome.

Not totally moved in yet, but getting there. Just a few more hours worth of moving and we'll be there!!

The countdown is at 2 weeks. Less than!

Shitty thing is that I'm taking my surgery prac test the day before he gets here. Bum.

This weekend, just gonna unpack and move in...gotta remember to actually take my cattle quiz too.

Tired. Wanna go to bed.

Move-in day tomorrow! =) Most of the appliances have been bought. Now all I need is to move it in!

Feeling alright, just sick is all...just a little over 2 weeks and Mark will be here!
