Yay for timetables! How many days per week are you there?

I noticed for accg224 that a lot of the classes were already filled by yesterday. Looked back now and every tute is full. Pretty glad that I got to enrol earlier!

Three days because if I did 2 days then I'd have to stay till 8-9pm due to most of the tutorials having been filled before I signed up.

Three is still pretty good! I prefer having an extra day over a long day.
I remember one semester having 8 to 8 with a 1 hour break at 2pm. Not fun.


And when I used to work full time I used to do work from 8 to 4 with a 1 hour break, and then 6 to 10 at uni in the evenings. I had a 1.5 hour commute each way to work and a 30 minute drive to uni. So really I left the house at 6.30 each morning and got home at midnight. And I did that 4 times a a week.

Im actually surprised it took me 6 months to have a full breakdown. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone!

I'm going to be working from 8:30-5 with uni from 6-9 four days a week.

I'm going to be on the breakdown boat, lol

She doesn't even go here!!!

Hahah but seriously you'll be fine, you've been working and doing uni so you should be better prepared.

18 year old me had never had a job and went to bed at 9pm. 18 year old me was not ready for real life.

Technically I am still enrolled at Macquarie... For now.
I'm still trying to finalise a few things, particularly HECs.
So if UTS are too slow, I can just stick it out at Macq.

*Sigh* got in to work at 7:30AM this morning because of four new matters and now it's past 5PM and we've gotten another one. Today has not been kind. >__<"

Was still classified a domestic student but had to pay upfront

Yeah, but I'm waiting on the paper forms which they have not yet sent... [emoji23] I've had to call my parents everyday saying "any mails?" The answer is always "nah" [emoji51]

Plus, I think I like MQ. Got used to it. Also, it's gonna sound stupid but I like MQ systems more streamline and easier to use. The student connect(?) no idea what it's actually called but they're a thousand times better than UTS hahaha. At least in my experience.

I think I'm trying to convince myself to stick around.

Thanks [emoji1]
I guess it's getting easier to deal with.
Ah, work isn't bad - there's just a lot going on. I'm sure I'll fine, I'm just a melodramatic complainer from way back! [emoji111]️
