I'm debating whether to skip my first economics lecture and leave 3 hours early, or stay at uni another 3 hours... skipping is winning atm
Edit: skipping won

> woke this morning and packed my bag
> checked my timetable and forgot I don't have labs or workshops in the first week
> has a rare day off

that was me today

and the day after is my day off

so basically I'll have gone to uni once this week
off to a good start lmao

Nice start I still have 3 / 5 days but having one day off due to no workshops etc is good enough for me
Also re: the new toilet paper dispensers (melb uni chat)... who on earth approved that design?

when you go to a lecture, sit at the front, (try to) take lots of notes and still walk out not really understanding anything...

26th, July 2017:
- I had three tutorials and two lectures today and I'm honestly quite exhausted. Quite possibly just because all but one were back-to-back, I didn't know where many of my classes were to begin with, and because I was running late and ended up sitting in a different tutorial to the one I was allocated to 'make up' my attendance. Hectic day to say the least.
- Won a Freddo Frog in one of my tutorials which I just finished eating. It was yummy.
- Since I'm done for the week I'm going to plan out the next few days tonight so I can consolidate what I've learnt this week and prepare for next week.

Overall though, I've had a good day.

Is finishing on a Wednesday the regular thing for you, Coffee?

You're seriously organisation goals When I grow up, I wanna be like you Coffee

It is this semester! Last semester I went 5 days a week though.

Aside from today being quite tiring, I had probably one of the most enjoyable/interesting/different lectures I've experienced at university so far

It was about group exercise - this semester we'll learn how to teach a group exercise class, and we were introduced to concepts like beat, cues, that sort of thing. Stuff to do with music is slightly daunting, but I'm excited to do something that's a bit different to what people usually expect a physio to do (but is becoming increasingly popular), and to learn about and experience something totally new

Today may have been exhausting for me, however I've had one of the most interesting lectures I've had in a long while.
It was about the pharmaceutical companies and how much $$$ they make, however I think most of us only soaked up the knowledge that to make one medicine, it costs around the same as 4 A380 planes- we literally googled the price of one A380 aha (US$375.3 million).

I've also started my first assignment for the semester. It's a group presentation worth 30% of one of my units, and right now, I'm feeling pretty scared because the assignment is basically making us find a new drug target to treat a disease, and we haven't really done much on the biological targets. The disease our group chose is psoriasis, and some of the pics I've seen of it looks fairly horrid, aha.

27th Jul
- had 1 lecture and done for the week
- also finalized my timetable so I only have 3 days! (Tue-Thu)
- finished my half IR readings for next week
- finished half of my politics readings (still waiting on my textbook to arrive so I can finish the other half )
- re-read over my essay

Typing up a math assignment is so satisfying yet so painful at the same time.

So like, this math course I'm doing is all proofs; no computation. Pretty new shit. The only test I have is the finals; the remainder of my assessment is entirely assignments...

I really want to just post these assignments online but like, plagiarism issues.

29th Jul
- very unproductive
- yesterday I saw a learning advisor regarding my essay and she basically told me to restructure and rewrite it haha
- so yeah, I tried to follow her tips to rewrite it but I just can't. Like, it's not that I've been procrastinating, I just can't write xD

I have enjoyed doing practically nothing all day. I'll miss this in a few weeks.

29/07
It's the weekend of week 1 and I already a) feel 5 weeks behind and b) get tired by 3pm xD
At least most of my first group assignment is done, just a shame my notebooks are in my friend's locker at uni (tldr- a bag broke and I forgot my lock's combination for my locker, so I can't access them until Monday lmao). Looking forward to doing nothing about uni tomorrow
