Due Dates

Another 2 weeks have passed and its getting closer for me being here almost 2 months. But its not bout the 2 months that really matters. It's more bout the due dates on my calender that I really need to put my thoughts on.

As expected from lectures, you'll definitely get assignments in whatever forms. And with those assignments of course there are due dates that are the last dates for the assingments to be submitted. It certainly won't be a problem if you prepare things slowly and in advance. But things will get nasty if we neglect those asses and cram all of those things all together.
Luckily Curtin has some sort of tuition free week. At first i thought "Oh great, time to enjoy a weeks life free of lectures...". But it turned out I was wrong. With a dozen of assignments due after on April and May, it turned out that the tuition week was nothing more than a replacement for lectures. It's just that we have to do our ass rather than having lectures. I thought "Hey...what a neat trick to set up a tuition free week just to get us do our ass...". But, if I remember all the hectic lectures day, I think having a tuition free week certainly does help us finish our ass in without all those lectures.

And so, it comes back to us on I'm gonna use the next lecture free week to finish and cram up all the asses all together. Of course I'm definitely not gonna finish all of them, but I'm certainly gonna start things up and do some hard work so that I can get all the asses in track. Of course this would help me in the next weeks when Uni resumes coz I then have a definite plan and schedule on how and when I should be finishing all of the asses.

Of course life isn't all bout asses and lectures here. As a normal human (Am I...??), I sure want some time of between my work to enjoy life and have quiet resting time. But since Perth isn't that abundant with crowded attractions all day long, it then really forces us to make the best of things that are available here to enjoy our leasure time. As usual, just surfing the net and donwload miscellanous bits are just enough for me. But ever sinc seeing my last months internet bill soaring up to $121, I thought that I definitely need to diverse my netting needs to other places so that I don't use up my bandwith. Luckily the campus provides the best answer with the abacus lab availabe there.

But I really can't expect much. Aside from browsing, You really can't expect to do some heavy duty downloads unless you're really lucky to be on the perfect time and conditions coz the bandwith will be limited and the downloads would run really slugish...However...if you're lucky to be on the perfect time at abacus lab, than expect to go home with at least more than 800 MB of any kinds of data you can think of. Coz of this, I've been doing some sort of gambling each day going to the lab, hoping that I can get a big catch of data. But to my observations, things get lucky only between Friday till Monday. I might be wrong but at least this does help me diverse my netting needs.

But asides netting, its all back to reading journals and books. Due to the absence of comic, reading journals has been some sort of a hobby for me :P. Even I can still download comics from the net, its not like I read them straight away. Also, I ned to pay more attention on my spendings here. It turned out that Perth wasn't again one of the cheapest cities in ozzy and prices have been soaring high lately according to the locals. Coz of that, I need to spend smartly so that I can still enjoy life's to the fullest but not needing to put a hole in my wallet. Also, I need to make sure I can save money for both my accounts here and in Indonesia. Nevertheless, this would be a tough thing to do each month.

I guess that's all for now. I have no clue on what kind of moaning would be in the next blog. Just hope something good would happen in the few weeks a front. Matta aimashou...jya ne....
