I should really be writing an assignment right now... or my thesis proposal.. or even Spanish study. But I'm not. I'm procrastinating. Too much stuff in my head. So I thought I'd write something here. At least thats somewhat constructive.

At this moment Luis is absorbed watching the All Blacks trial- I think he likes rugby more than soccer now! He is on study leave now, his exams are in a couple of weeks and then he'll be halfway through his degree. Time flies. It's been a stressful couple of months for him though, with a heavy workload and busy schedule of classes, and I think he's more than ready for his smeester break.

I am enjoying being a part time worker, but looking forward to being a full time student. I'm really not sure how I coped studying and working full time, I'm still finding it hard to fit everything in! I have my final assignment for the health paper due next week and my thesis proposal for ethics due... asap! Actually I nearly dropped the whole thesis idea a couple of weeks ago, worried about how we were going to survive financially. We've had to take the unpleasant option of increasing our student loan debt in order to survive the next few months, and I'm still madly applying for scholarships... but I think it will be worth it. I met with a couple of different lecturers at the university last week (other than my supervisor) and they were quite excited about my research topic, which made me feel a lot happier and more excited myself. So I'll keep walking out this plank, wildly beleiving it leads somewhere other than shark infested waters....
