Y

In the last few days I've been saying Y as in why,  a lot. This question has been aimed at my uni undertaking. The novelty has warne off, and I'm feeling less motivated to work hard on assignments. Even the thought of some sping cleaning is temping over writing assignments.

So why, couldn't have I been happy in my old old job, it wasn't that bad, regular hours, a nice income, and some good people. This then leads onto the question, So why did I want out, I was slowly moving up the career ladder, earning my stripes, sure I was becoming frustrated, I spose I knew I had more potential, and needed a challenge. Then I got it, in the form of a new job with a new company. However this placement was to much of a challenge, It felf like I  had joined a sinking ship, and all that I had to keep it afloat was a bucket with a hole in it, but again I met some nice people.Ok so I knew I needed a challenge, I knew I had potential, now I knew I needed more training.

So this is Y, I am going to uni, to show myself that I can do it. So now, nearly half way through the cours, I'm now aksing myself, Y am I at the now the tender age of 40, putting myself through all this. A fellow student said she has a picture of her dream home, that she could purchas once graduated and emplayed. I think I need a similar motivation, someting to look at, that will encourage me to continue on. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

So the last Y question I have for me is, Y am I not working on my assignment that is due in a day or two :)

Being Katisha
Oh if only I could do it again, would I really choose a diffrent path

*Being Erica is a TV show on ABC2 where this woman gets to relive her past, and to make diffrent decision, but I sope like her in the end she makes the same choices, because underneath it all we are who we are. I could go back and stick at my origianl job, but I don't think if would have drematically changed the path I now find myself taking.

I know where I've come from, I just now need to know where I'm going to.

**no time to spell check, so you are getting this in the raw format**

the joys of haveing a social life

*Katisha stands on soap box*

"I don't have time for a real life (RL) as I'm too busy maintining my Virtual Life (VL)"
Is it jut me or do you have to set asside 2-3 hours in every day just to maintain your social net presence? If it's not facebook, blogs, myspace, emails... ok ok I did join up to "avatars united"....but I'm still staying away from FB.

Don't get me wrong, I luv the WWW, chatting to peeps in Second Life. I just think a line has to be drawn somewhere.

*gets off soap box*

I'm back at Uni, all is going well

News from the Kat

Wow 2 posts in one month! Don't get to excited now.

From my last post I have some sad news to report. I lost my 2 figher fish. Loosing one fish was ok, (alass I was not really attatched to him) but the death of Fennic was a bit harder to take. I should of looked after him better. I had him for just over 1 year, now I don't know if that is good for a domesticated fish or not. I spose that is way I feel so bad for not looking after him, because this and many other answers I should know. In honnor of his short life, in SL I got to name a street after him "Phennic Way"  Because the road leads the way to a few places, including my new adventure.  Yes, I've made a virtual pub, complete with virtual beer.

The work I'm doing is going really well, I'm a bit lonley, but I will live. As there is no handy place to buy lunch, I've got into the routine of bringing my luch to work.

That's about it really....oh there is more stuff, but it's just sooo mundain, it's not worth typing about. :)

Stay cool
(I has a new portable air conditioner, so now I can do that)

Good Birthday

Similar to the Queen and Jesus, the date of my birth will be celebrated on a diffrent day. As my offical birthdate is in late March, I've changed the celebration date to Good Friday. At first I thought about April Fools Day, but thinking about it a bit more Good Friday seeamed like a better choise for 2 main reasions.
1. people may be less likly to forget the date and 2. The celebration will allway be a day off and a extra long weekend too. So the next person who askes me my birthdate, I will perclaim it's on Good Friday. Except for offical records ofcourse :) .

1st year bites the dust

Hello All
Well my uni studies are over for this year. YAY for me. The year went well; when I first started they told me that as a mature student to expect to do badly or even fail the first few assignments. But I didn't. :)  By the end of semester I was getting distinctions. This semester I would have got a few more distinctions but I was lazy, and like a sterotypical student I was enjoying my social life to much.

I was meant to be doing two week of work archiving stuff for a mining company, but it looks like it has fallen through :( I'm a bit annoyed, I was intending to have a holiday over east. So now I have two extra weeks of relaxing. My time off will not be all leisure, I have to do a two week practicum placement in a library and then write a report about it. My parents suggest I try and find a job somewhere, but I don't think I'll have much luck. I can only work for a few months (over christmas) plus I don't know when the prac placement will take place. The only good thing about getting work, is that it will proberbly airconditioned :) so it would be cooler than staying at home. I dont't cope to well in summer, if I could move down south I would.

Take care
Katisha

I'm still here

Hihi

I'm at the business end of Uni now. I've been traveling ok. I got a good mark for my speech, 77.5%. For those people who know me, know I'm good a public speaking, and they also know I'm crap at spelling, which is letting me down a little. But I am getting better at structuring sentences and all that grammar stuff.

4 more weeks and it will be all over, well almost, I still have a prac placement to do early next year.

Not looking forward to the summer, :(
