Statistics is over, yay!

Well it is at the moment, I still need to find out if I'll actually pass the subject. My teacher thinks that I'll scrape through but if in the event that I don't she's going to call me and I'll have to go in and do something that will get me the extra marks that I need to get over 50.

Once statistics is finished with, I will never to take another maths class!!!

In terms of what I have left to finish from this semester at TAFE I still have to finish off my essay but I can just email it my teacher for Contemporary Australia and then I have to return library books that I borrowed and are now overdue by a few days. For my essay my topic is about the Australia becoming a Republic debate. We have to use two approaches with this and for mine, the two approaches are mostly a historical approach and a political approach. I should have no trouble getting the essay finished by Sunday and then I can email it Monday morning.

Today we had a end of semester lunch, which was really good. We went to the Family Hotel and I ended up having a lasagna (being the only person who didn't order of the special of the day type thing so I didn't get a free drink, not that it mattered that much since I only had one drink of diet coke and that was enough for me)

I also went dvd shopping today (I shouldn't have done it since I need to save money for uni text books but I should get a couple of work shifts next month so I'll just save it from what I earn then).

These are the dvds that I got:

Hello, Dolly!
Sweet Charity
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (I have this on video but I wanted to get it on dvd as well)
How to Make an American Quilt
Les Miserables

So I've had my first week of TAFE.

It wasn't too bad starting back even though I didn't want to get out of bed to go to school on Monday since I was used to being on holidays.

One of the main problems to start with was the buses because the bus timetables were changed this year and as a result the connecting bus that I need to get in order to go up to the TAFE/Uni doesn't meet up. The connecting bus leaves five minutes earlier so by the time the bus that I catch to go downtown so I can change buses gets there, the bus I need to be on has already left. In the end I remained on the first bus I was on and it dropped me off about half a block or so from the TAFE, so all I needed to do was walk straight downhill to where it is.

It was funny yesterday though because I caught the bus at 8.18am (I had class at 9.30am but if I caught the later bus I would have been late) and when it came it was full of students who went to Bathurst High School and for a minute I thought I read the name of the bus wrong (it said 523 - Eglinton, which is the bus that I catch) but when I went up to check. The bus driver went to me "The high school?" thinking that I was one of the high school students, I graduated from high school in 2005 (he's not the first one to think that I'm younger than what I actually am) and I go "is this the Eglinton bus?" and after he said that it was I explained that I needed to go to TAFE.

These are the classes that I have this semester:

Newsediting for Communications
Contemporary Australian Society
Statistics

It doesn't seem a lot but I have Contemporary Australian Society and Statistics two times a week instead of once a week. Since I started the course last semester I don't have to do Lals A or Computers (even though I will have to do spreadsheets when it gets up to that since I need to be able to do spreadsheets as part of statistics.) I'm just glad that this semester will be the last time that I have to do a maths subject. Also watching the news at least once a day like I normally do is going to come in handy since two of my subjects will be dealing with Current Affairs.

In other news today I got part of the order that I made through Sanity earlier this week. I used the gift card that I got for my birthday and I ordered Sneaky Sound System's single Goodbye ($3.99) and I also ordered Adam Brand's debut album called Adam Brand (it was $9.99). There was something like $3.75 for postage and I had a $20 gift card so it came to over $17. I got Sneaky Sound System's single today and I received an Order Confirmation that Sanity had shipped Adam Brand's album out so depending on where they shipped the order from I should get it sometime next week, probably Thursday at the latest.

I just finished completing an application for Coles. I wasn't initially going to apply until after I started TAFE but I saw an advertisement on Thursday saying that they needed people for afternoon and weekend work and since that's the type of work I needed and that there was actually positions available I applied.

I'm also starting TAFE earlier than I anticipated. I didn't think you could start the Certificate 1V mid way through the year but I found out that you could. I'll be starting on July 16. Mum and dad are going to pay for this semester and I'll pay them back when I have the money. I think the only bad thing about this TAFE thing is that I have to do maths, this should be interesting since the last time I actually studied maths was in year 11.
