Although I had 3 assessments on the week back to uni, I had a lot of fun in the one place that I've hated for so long. Yes, I said fun. And you know why? Because I had friends.

My first and second assessment was a group task that we had to do in the fields within a certain time limit. I had worked with the same people since day 1 of uni and they were so lovely. Since then it was really nice to work with them and it actually made me look forward to class. After our assessment some international festival performance took place in the main walkway and for once, I wasn't standing there alone watching it, I was with them and it was really nice.

Normally in my breaks, in fact all of my breaks I'm always by myself. I take the elevator to level 8 of Fisher library (always) and study there. Sit there in the silence and do my work or do nothing. I get stuff done but when I'm getting ready for my next class, it makes me anxious like I really don't want to go. If I hung out with people during my breaks, I think I'd look forward to my next class because I can say 'Okay, cya guys later' like in Highschool when we'd say bye after recess or lunch and I'd walk away to my class.

My other group of friends have talked on facebook chat about our assignment that was due today. We've been talking throughout mid-sem break and I mean it's really nice to be keeping contact with them but .. they stress over nothing lol. The question is like hands down so easy to answer, I think they were overworking the question. But I got to know them more this way and it made me feel a lot better. I hope to see them next semester.

I realized I only went to uni 2 days this week. I skipped Tuesday to go to work because I only had a lecture that day since my tutorial was cancelled... so I thought may as well pop into work because I know I won't get any work done at home. Those 2 days though, they were fun and enjoyable and the most I've ever been.. happy around uni because I was with people. Like after every class I walked out with a friend. Every lecture, I walked in with a friend. It was really nice. Finally having friends.

And I'm not saying that it took me this long to find friends but it took me long to find people who are actually interested in staying friends. Natasha, one of the girls I met in film, we were walking home on the second week because we met in tutorials and she told me she had the exact same problem and she told me she knew why. It was because we were doing Arts, no one gives a crap about friendships. You don't need it because there's hardly any group work, you do your own essay and readings. You don't need friends for Arts and it surprised me because it was the first time I thought about it and it was so god damn true. Law people are out there and sociable, science/ med/ engineering all group/ partner work. Arts is independent stuff that you really don't need friends for. So me and Natasha were like 'We should hang out more so we feel more better about ourselves when we're in uni' because she hates uni as much as I do and it only bothers her that people in Arts aren't as welcoming as other faculties... and plus she hates Arts because it's not a fantastic degree to be graduating from. I was like 'yeah tbh that's true but I wouldn't have done anything else'. Natasha is cool and born in Dubai!! but lives in Parra which is like close to home :)

Yeah that was my week. I went to work today and it was a busy day. I'm trying to get enough sleep so I can wake up the next day for my jog. Jogging feels great. If you ever ask yourself should I jog? do it without thinking. And also do it in the morning when you're feeling restless lol, even though you may be tired. Or what I do is get out of bed and change into my gear, then get out of the house. I don't brush my teeth before I jog because I find that time consuming in the morning and after you brush you'll want to eat which takes up even more time... so just get up, change, toilet (if you have to) and leave the house. and when you're back, brush your teeth ya filthy animal.
