I don’t know how I am going to live through this coming week, though I of course know I will.

Next week I have two mid-semester exams and a 750 word analysis on how a Chinese government whitepaper contributes to a better understanding of internal policy perspective (which is going to be hard).

Then in non-uni work I have five graduate programs to apply for between this Sunday and the following Sunday. I need to get into one of these programs, hopefully from the 20+ I am applying for I will get one. Otherwise I have no idea what I will be doing next year.

Tomorrow is a write-off in terms of getting uni work done as I am working 7-3 and am then driving up to a friend’s 21st/grad party 1hr north of here. Saying that I will get a bit of uni work done on my breaks at work but not much.

Though I haven’t had any late nights yet, I think next week might have a few 🙁

On a less woo is me topic, check out these things.

Tracy’s wonderful new digital kits, that girl has “it” and always has and she’s my second mother so I am obliged to brag about her. Go check her kits out, you know you want to.

After all the hoo-ha the recent Tourism Australia ad caused in well everywhere except Australia. There was bound to be some spoofs. First is the original for you to watch and then some of the spoofs.

Where the bloody hell are you?

Spoof 1 – Really well done but if you don’t know much about current Australian politics it probably won’t make much sense.

Spoof 2 – Not as well done, this was from CNNN/The Chaser and still is mainly about current affairs in Australia but still great.

Spoof 3 – This is a series of interviews with tourists at Sydney Harbour, asking their views on the wording of the campaign and what would be more appropriate

Doing five subjects at uni is sooo much more work than doing the usual four subjects! All I seem to be doing is reading, reading, reading – the “joys” of doing an Arts course 🙂

Brief run down of the last couple of days.

Went to the MoB with Mum on Sunday to see Regarding Retro, not quite what we expected, we would have liked to actually seen the collections in the flesh instead of seeing photos of them – all those aprons would have been a treat.

After that we went into Silk Road to look at work shoes for me, after wearing a pair round the store for 45mins or so I have decided they are better than what I have had before but still no where near perfect. I am currently wearing them round the house this week to see how they feel for more extended periods of time before deciding what to do with them. They are a pair of Ecco Tail – lots of Gore-Tex and rubber so any dairy spills at work will not be a problem. Mum picked up a pair of Patagonia shorts and we drooled over the Women’s Therm-a-Rests very comfy and pink to boot.

Worked this morning before going to Uni for a lecture and a tute, currently doing this weeks readings for my International Relations Ethics subject and I am about to start work on a tutorial presentation on “Ownership and Management Problems in Chinese State Enterprisesâ€? as well a short essay providing an analysis of a Chinese Government whitepaper on the “Building of Political Democracy in China”.

My life basically consists of reading bricks, high-lighters, a pen and a wad of writing paper.

It seems that U2 will be coming to our shores in November – so a bit less than a year after we bought our tickets.
