Update on the state of the Siobhan in its natural... wait, no, by nature I'm a slacker, this so isn't my natural habitat. Oh well, WHATEVER.

Time spent at uni over past two days:
Thursday: 9.30am-1pm/4pm-12.30am;
Friday: 11am-2.30pm/3.30pm-10pm/10.30pm-1am;
TOTAL: 24.5 hours

Things achieved:
* Draft of my part of the memorandum, coming in at just under my allotted 2500 characters.
* First draft of the themepark poster for the competition (yeah, don't ask); forgotten how much I enjoy drawing, haven't done much since highschool but it's looking pretty good. Also, Devil Judge Cat is pretty lolful. Will be uploaded when I scan it to add colour & text and so forth.
* Work training completed. It was supposed to be from 2.30-5.30 yesterday but only took me an hour, partially because it was all computer stuff that I apparently picked up really quickly and also because everyone else came in for training in the morning session so I had a very personal training session.
* Submitted the last pieces of assessment for semester 2.
* Picked up one of Mayuka's letters of proof of enrolment.
* Uh... ate meals? IDK, it feels like an achievement.

Things yet to be achieved, hopefully tomorrow:
* Booking hair appointment. My roots are starting to annoy me. Although otherwise I've been looking pretty damn bitchin' this week. No photos, though, because it's really hard for me to take quality photos with the location of the mirrors in my house and I am too tired for the effort, no matter how nice my clothes look.
* Booking osteopath if there's time, maybe? Part of the reason I can't sleep is back and shoulder pain.
* Sorting out how I'm getting from Canberra->Sydney on the 29th.
* Going into new work to sign stuff and talk to practice manager in charge of rostering about fact I'm gone for all of December.
* Get cracking on research assistant work? NEED MORE HOURS IN THE DAY. Or really, days in the year before the payment period expires.
* Memorandum editing etc. I dunno, I'm waiting for everyone to put theirs together and Mamoru and Kareem to go over the structure and Japanese and stuff.
* Answer emails, send emails, etc.

Pointless Facebook updates:
Legion.

Reasons I am not asleep right now:
* Caffeine, intended to keep me going while working but overshot the mark.
* Low blood sugar, now remedied.
* Back and shoulder pain, hopefully remedied by pain pills.
* Heat... which is not as bad as it could be. I simply have to remind myself of how I basically did not sleep for 2~4 weeks in Japanese monsoon season and was almost delirious with it to recognise that fact.
* General Siobhan-like insomnia. IT SUCKS TO BE MEEEE.

Reasons I hate Canberra's weather and can't wait to go to Japan where it's winter:
* 37 and 38 degree celsius days
* Grass went from green and lush looking to straw-like in a week
* It rained just enough today to make the air HUMID
* Inevitably my car sits in the sun, and inevitably it is like getting into an oven.
* Even walking around outside after being in air-conditioning bears some oven-like resemblence.
* I spent most of today in an airless room with no windows and a single fan that kept blowing my papers everywhere. >:|

okay, am actually tired again now, time to try that sleep thing again.
