Bitter sweet symphony

So can I convince anybody to share a unit with me beginning end of the year or start of next?

Lots on my mind to blog about but half asleep and on msn too much... And it'll just be another stupid whinge... i'll post something real when im more awake.

Share the love.

I don't wanna get inside your mind or your pants

Does anybody still beleive in true love anymore? What about just love in the sense of falling in love? Is this just another thing that our fucked up social structure has put into our heads?

Its like I date somebody, feel like I'm "in love" then it doesn't last very long. So why bother? Does anybody still have a copy of "Guide to dating for scientists and engineers" floating about their compy?

I'm sure (almost) everybody who reads this knows I've been seeing a bit of somebody this last week. For those who don't her name is Amanda and she's pretty cool. The problem is I never stay single enough to test the waters I guess. I just go for the first person who is interested and isn't a complete freak/slut. Should I be trying to enter into a "relationship" with amanda? Or should I try to cut back time with her to figure out if I'm just diving into this again because I can, or if it's because I think it'll work?


/end whinge


This semester I'm tutoring a complex analysis class for engineers which will be quite difficult I think, but hey money is money. I also have friday lunchtimes in the MLC (maths learning centre) which is like the lunchtime help for all uni maths subjects. That could be interesting, again money is money though. Also last week and this week I've managed to get a physics lab to do but I don't think I'll get it for the rest of the semester.
I've been putting thought into PhD options and I'm currently leaning towards something to do with the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations for anybody interested.

And the man on the moon

Time for the afternoon news.

Well after leaving Scotty's party on friday night, everybody expected I was going for a booty call. I proved you all wrong!!! (as tempting as it is to let your ideas about me turn out right)

My head's been a little all over the shop lately, too much stuff to think about and I end up thinking about none of it for long enough to come to conclusions. I might go take a drive to my thinking post sometime soon.

I think everybody knows by now, but due to the science faculty covering the costs, scholarships are now available to anybody with first class honours, which means I don't have to fight for a scholarship :) I should be able to get one whenever I'm ready to start. I should really find out the ins and outs with that one since I'm just going by what the office lady said and haven't seen anything official yet.

Hmm can't find anything official on it... That is kinda scary :S maybe she got something wrong! freaking out time... Ok calm blue ocean... found it finally. There's like a tiny paragraph about it somewhere.

As soon as I get on my feet and start my PhD, I'll be looking to move out of here. Anybody looking for a place too? I'll need a roomie or two :)

Call me irresponsible

So I just felt like blogging, don't really have alot to say.

Last night was probably my last drinking at karaoke for a long time cos i'll be taking an 8am tute on wednesday from now on which means getting up at 6. However it was a fun night :)

Stupid wine and raising my glass to Jason as we say goodbye to each other before skulling.

I think I've decided what I'll do my PhD on, at least what field I'll be studying. That is, general relativity. It keeps me somewhat in touch with the physics side of things but is still very much maths.

And I'm pacing by the phone, 'cos I hate to be alone

Well uni started back up today, not that I am technically a student there anymore. I still went in today to try to secure my office for this semester, so I can hang about and try to learn more before leaping into a PhD. I'm kinda worried about doing a PhD too, like it's 3 years of working on one thing and coming out with something decent at the end. It's huge. If I'm serious about this I need to pick an area and a supervisor soon then start applying in the next couple of months.

I just nearly dozed off here after that paragraph, bloody tired. Not used to waking up at a reasonable time, it's like jetlag. I've also got quite a bit on my mind lately.

Now I'm an amputee god damn you

And I've been doing just fine

El hangovered again... I think it was worth it though. I hope it was worth it. Gah.

I have a maths class to teach again this semester :) yay I'll have a (very small) income again. I've also told the guy at uni that I'm not actually studying this semester so I'll take anything thats going if he needs to fill any classes. I might get around to asking if I can stay in my office until the end of the year too. Then i'll be like a student but not officially :P

Gah I feel in such a strange mood.

It's the only one you've got

Results: Fear and confusion.

I got my uni results on friday. I haven't completely decided how I feel about them. I guess I'm kind of disappointed. My project wasn't close to as good as I would have liked it. However my subjects were the best marks I've got in my uni life. Both of them.

For my project which was worth four subjects I got 77, and for the two subjects I took I got a freaking 95 and a 98. To give me an overall average of 83.5% same as what I had up until this point. It kinda sucks to get those marks for my subjects and end up with an 83.5%. At least I think it gets rounded up to 84 on the record :P

Hopefully it's enough to get me a scholarship somewhere, now once I've had enough holidays I need to start learning some stuff and organising a PhD.


Also; I've been sober for a week now. Dunno how long I'll keep it up but hopefully I'll be not wasted from now on when we go out. Might go another week before starting to drink again.

Save tonight

Well, seems I've become a creature of the night. For it is now 7.35am thursday and I haven't been to bed from wednesday. Goodbye sleeping pattern! I'm not even really tired either, just hungry. In fact I think my brain is tired because I'm struggling with these quantum problems and don't really have anything else to blog about. Lame.

Oh and I still have remained sober! :)
