So I've come full cirlce on the audio tape of Philosopher's Stone. The walk to Uni is mind-numbingly boring and it keeps me entertained. I just wish I had some other audio tapes with me so I could stop listening to the same one over and over again!

I've been having really random dreams lately. The other night I dreamt that Adia and Lee were over at my house, which is particularly strange seeing as I haven't been talking to either of them in ages, and I have no clue what Adia looks like. All I can really remember is that we were gathered around a computer trying to do something...

The other dream was ever more odd. I've been wanting to see Prisoner of Azkaban again, so in the dream I did. Only, it was being shown in a cathedral and we had to sit through the service first. There was a choir arranged at different points around the building, and they were all people I'd gone to school with. This big screen dropped down from the cathedral ceiling and we all started to watch the movie. For some reason, there was a break about half an hour from the end and my friends stood up to leave. I asked them where they were going and they said they had to meet someone but they'd call me later. I went absolutely mental and screamed at them "WILL YOU?" (IRL these people never get in touch when they say they will) Once they'd left, the little girl beside me said she wanted to go home too but wasn't allowed to go by herself, so I said I'd bring her. We went outside but it was all icy and snowy so we had to iceskate. We got to her house (which is actually my cousin's house IRL) and I brought her inside. I was going to go, but then decided to watch the rest of the movie at her house, only to realise that I couldn't since it was only being shown at the cathedral. So I rushed back outside and started skating back towards the cathedral. Then I woke up.

Maybe I'm stressed out or something.... 0_o

Hello and all a heartfelt thanks for all of your positive comments on the last post. I really appreciated all of your well-wishes and good advice. So much so that I'm going to give a proper plug list for the first time ever *g* It's very comforting to know that I'm not the only one who had a habit of getting through with the minimum effort needed and that I'm certainly not the only one worried about the future (although I rather suspected that one!). Big hugs go out to:
Rissa - I can't wait for the Rogue series and good luck with your last year at school!
Susan - maybe we can form some kind of support group for people who want to stop coasting through life *L*
Heather - good luck with the accomodation problems, but take it from me, first year is a hell of a ride
Kris - conversley to everything I've been saying, I hope you have the opportunity to coast at some point. It can be fun ;)
Steph - thanks for rubbing in the fact that you're just starting off while I'm finished :p
Sher - thanks for the faith. A little of that can go a long way =D
Lee - lots of people take much longer out of education than you have and I know you'd be fantastic! *slaps your Uni for not offering any courses you're interested in*

Ah, it's nice to have people who care! So, after reading all your comments and trying to stay positive, I calmed down a bit and finally got up the courage to read the e-mail my supervisor sent me back. Now, what you need to understand is that I clearly told her that I had no idea what I was doing and that I wasn't able to write anything. What does she say? 'Send me what you've written and I'll tell you what to do.' Not the helpful message I had been hoping for *sigh* So, I supposed I should really try to write something that makes sense. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

BTW, Caitlin has finally opened her livejournal up to the general public, so go and say hi!

Oh - before I forget. I just wrote an Oliver Wood fan-fic and am looking for some people to read it before I post it anywhere. Anyone interested? Let me know in the comments or e-mail me!

Reading: Elinor M. Brent-Dyer Althea Joins the Chalet School

All my life I've basically coasted through, doing what I needed to get where I wanted to go and not much else. I swear, I feel like Margot Maynard (big-up to the Chalet School posse!) - I've been working in fits and starts and it's really hard to settle down into regular work now that I absolutely have to. This year has definitely taught me that I've wasted so much in not working to my potential. I could have done so much better if I'd actually been a conscientious student. I mean, I've done pretty well and am pleased with my results and whatnot, but it's just not good enough any more. In order to write this Masters Dissertation, I have to work steadily and it's really messing me up. I just keep putting things off and I really have no idea what I'm doing. I just had to e-mail my supervisor to tell her that *sigh* She's gonna be pissed. Another reason why I keep putting things off is that I don't want this course to finish. The idea of not being a student really scares me. I've always been a student. I started Playschool when I was 3, so I've been in education ever since. I don't know how to do anything else... I really need to try not to freak out about this, because it's really not helping at all. Positive mental attitude, right? 0_o

*blinks* I'm not dead. I'm just not having a fantabulous time these days. I need to do some work, but it just doesn't seem to be happening *wail* I promise to start posting again in the next few days, once my stress levels have evened out somewhat...
