Just woke up, and it looks like a beautiful day out - not a cloud in the sky from what I can see out my window. Looking at the forecast it appears that today will be the last nice day I see in Auckland - although tomorrow may not be bad (just not as perfect as today).
I am so tempted - you have no idea - to blow off my paper today and go picture taking. Which I can't sadly. I should have a lot more done on it than I do currently, but I had the most severe writers block this week...fortunately I finally broke through it yesterday afternoon.
Well, maybe if I write about one film...maybe even two.
Better get started.

uninspired
My last exam is Monday...and I haven't started studying yet. Oops.
I'd like to get to campus, because at my apartment I'm just too distracted. But there's a problem: my sleep schedule is completely screwed up. While trying to study for my finals in the past two weeks, I was pulling all nighters, since I work much better at night - I guess it's more that everyone else isn't up and about to distract me (by doing non academic things, which investigating is much better than studying I suppose). As a result, I am now accustomed to going to bed around...4, 5 AM and getting up...whenever I decide to get up.
Or worse still, I have tried going to bed around 10:30 - 11:00 (not tonight clearly, read on...), but I found myself just waking up in the middle of the night. Not like just-had-a-nightmare woken up (or even have to go to the toilet woken up), but woken up without rhyme or reason. Yet, I felt so refreshed that I'd guess it was around 5:30 or something, but to my dismay, my phone would say "2:45" or something equally ridiculous. So to pass the time (clearly sleep wasn't going to), I'd putz around online or playing my computer games...go back to bed around 6 AM.
That was the case today (Friday). Except I actually fell asleep, and didn't get up for hours. Usually when that happens, I'll end up overshooting the actual time, where I wake up and think it's much later than it is. Instead today, I woke up, and guessed it was maybe...11:30, noon even...
Not even close. Try 3:15 PM. And my alarm was even set and on! (sorry Martyn for having to hear that racket for I don't even want to know how long).
In short, got nothing done today. Again. Maybe I'll try some studying right now...
Other than that, nothing much has been happening. Some friends went on another trip to the South Island, which I couldn't partake in because of this stupid final on Monday. Surprisingly, I'm not completely broke, but actually I have a decent buffer in cash alone, not even counting my checking account or my credit card (which I am NOT touching again until I get a job). Except for a potential trip next weekend, I don't plan to do much, so I should be more than set. I do also have to write my senior thesis for NU, and that's not gonna get going until Monday at the earliest.
