I know I know

Hi you lot, yes I'm still alive.

I've been busy busy with uni stuff. I've finished classes for the year, I just have an exam on the 16th. Then I am free. I'll try and pick up some work during the summer holiday.

Not much else has been happening really. I have my mummy staying for a few days, so that will be nice. We are going into Freo and eating at my favourite reastraunt...mmmmmmm sushi.

I'm also busy doing a cross stitch, of two beautyfull tigers.

The diet has gone out of the window :(

I've been keeping myself busy with Second Life, pulling up my virtual sleaves and helping to make the island the place to be.

Stay slinky

Yes I know I've not posted

Hi you lot.

Not much to say really, uni is uni, still having a love hate relationship with the library content. I have decided not to do further study after this, sure 1-2 day courses, but no more full time, structured study for this old chook.

My life has become sooooo repetitive, I'm even having the same "themed" dreams again. Very frustrating that, especially the ones that are 'MA' rated.   ;) ;)

I've taken cross stitch back up again :)  I've been doing it while listening to my uni readings.

Well that's about all I can think of for now, till next time my followers
Kat, signing out.

101

Well according to my blog dashboard, this is my 101th post!  YAY for me.

Lets see, what has happened to me this week....I have confirmed that I dislike large mega stores. The last few times I've been in, I've had panic attacks, and have to fight the urge to drop my shopping and leave the building in a disorderly fashion, by shaking, crying and running blindly into windows that I think are automatic doors. What I find strange, it's only a relative new disorder, like in the last 5 years or so.

My dad got his ticker tinkered with, and should be feeling a lot better soon, now we just have to tie him down, get him to stop running around like a man half his age.

One of my fish has / is changing colour. I have a funny suspicion it's due to the lack of vitamin D (sunlight) I moved the tank, now my completely black fish is now 90% gold, except for his fins and bobble eyes.

I was playing a MMOG called Earth Eternal (EE), but it closed down, however I've recently heard that it now has new owners and it should be up and running again. In the mean time I'm playing one called Alien Adoption Agency, it's more of a text based game, not like EE that was 3D. Still it's fun to play and well we all need to have fun, life can not be all work.

Well that's about it, the rest of my week was just mundane stuff.
As my football team is out of the AFL grand final all I can say is....... GO St Kilda!   (but I wont watch the game :P )

oooo ekk

I'm moving my posting day to early Monday mornings, like 7am early. Fridays have become my hectic day, as that's when assignments are due. As much as I would like to take the time out to blog, I'll be instead running around like a mad chook working on last minute writing / editing and then traipsing over to uni for submission. So now you'll have something to look forward to as you ease yourself into a Monday :)

opppsie, I forgot to blog on Friday

Hi All

We apologise for that break in transmission, we now return you to your normal schedule.

Sorry, I had my mind elsewhere on Friday. I had an essay to write and hand in. Then when I got home, I just wanted to chill out for the rest of the day. Plus there is not much to say really. Uni is uni, I'm still lazy and not getting stuck into my assignments and readings as much as I would like.

I am playing computer games to keep my mind active and fresh, yes that's it. I'm not being lazy, I'm exercising my mind, so when I come to do an essay, my senses are sharp/ :P

ttfn

Well that week went fast

So much for having the week off to study. I ended up studying computer games and re watching Babylon 5. B5 is a very good sci-fi series from the late 90's. I did get a bit of real study done :P

During the week, I had a nice chat with my brother in MSN, he nearly convinced me to join a dating service. I was telling one of my friends in SL about this. He commented that well there are plenty of fish in the sea, I replied by saying "yer but I want to make sure the bait looks good first"  :)  I'll leave it at that for now, I may think about signing up once I've finished my studies.

This morning I went out for a FIRK's breakfast. It is basically a group of records type people getting together before work to network, catch up on records type news and well news in general. I managed to acquire one business card for possible prac placement for next year. :)  Another thing to come out of the breakfast was that one lady, although a records person, was working in a corporate library as a temp staff, (or something like that), so it made me think, that doing the library aspect of the undergrad is not that stupid or a waste after all.

Ok time to go and hit those computer games books.
take care and happy fathers day for Sunday

4 weeks down and some more to go

Hi All

Well the end of the 4th week of uni is apone me, technically next week is a holiday; well it's more of a holiday from classes. I still have a lot of homework to do over the next week. I've put a request in for more hours in a day, but despite my friends agreeing with the proposal, it has yet to be acknowledged by any major influences. :P

For my records unit, the lecturer has taken to getting us to discuss topics in small groups, and then report back on our findings to the class. The picture below was my teams contribution. I'll explain it after you have a had a look at it.

Ok, the task was to explain the relationship between, risk (represented by the ghost), how compliance to laws keeps risk managed (the pacman), and how all employees are accountable to comply to the compliance laws (the tie and shirt). To manage / control compliance and accountability is governance, (the game controller).  When presenting our findings, everyone sounded impressed with our visual representation of the question set.  

I kind of think life is to short to be serious all the time :P

Well time to hit those books.
