There seems to be a recurring theme for me of being completely unprepared whenever a new semester starts. One week I’ll spend waking up really late and playing video games in my underwear and then all of a sudden week one of University starts and I have to go back to wearing pants. That’s not to say that the date classes start isn’t made very obvious just that it always seems to take me by surprise no matter how many post-it notes and phone reminders I set myself.

Part of the problem is that there is always so much stuff that I need to buy and my brain deactivates in order to protect me from the realisation of just how much money I need to spend. The other part is that by the time semester starts I’ve really adapted to being on holiday and it takes me all semester to break out of the bad habits.

The point is that semester has started and I have been running around buying books, signing up for classes, showing up for classes and completely forgetting that I have a blog to update. This year promises to be quite interesting as I am focusing solely on my journalism minor so I get to take some pretty exciting sounding units such as Literary Journalism and Digital Photography. The down-side is that I know absolutely nothing about those units so I will have to work twice as hard to simply achieve my usual average.

Another feature of this year will hopefully be the appearance of some guest blog posts; I will try and get some other students to share their stories and their impressions of life in Perth and University. I’m hoping that some people will find this useful as they are probably getting a bit sick of reading my usual stuff.
Now I know this has been short but I am afraid I now have some reading to do before my lectures tomorrow.
