I'm sitting here in Bendigo at the lounge room dining table writing a report about why some fictional conglomerate should take up a hedging strategy for its commodity and foreign currency requirements. It is not thrilling but a taxing piece of assessment all the same. For some reason the ducted heating is still operating even though I turned it off, poor old astro is in bed because she can't breathe very well and is pretty knackered, she probably is starting to get a chest infection or is being affected by her asthma from going for a jog today. My eyes feel really tired but the rest of me doesn't feel tired enough to go to sleep, I have a bit of shit to get done tomorrow but it is so hard getting things done when you come up here, too many distractions, although I guess that is the same when I am at home, that and I generally just don't feel like doing stuff because I'm hella lazy.

All I want is a job for a while, just to earn some money so I'm not always ass broke like I have been for the last 5 years, get into a little routine where I can maybe squeeze in some regular exercise. Take back control of my "free time" where I don't feel like I should be doing something uni orientated all of the time, I hate feeling bad about having a good time in my spare time, that is why I need to stop doing uni for a while.

I have been tossing with the idea of doing honours if I don't get into a grad program, I know what your thinking, "serp that is a shitty reason to do honours", but I was actually thinking about during summer holidays even before I started to even think about grad positions, hell I might even do it if I get IN to a grad position, I'll still have over 6 to 7 months of free time to do nothing if I do! Ahh that would be sweet, a cushy grad position in a field of work that I would find interesting, that starts sometime next year, then I have a shitload of free time to do whatever the fuck I want without having to feel guilty. No more brain saying "serp you should do some study" , me: what study! I finished!, brain says: "You should get a real job and stop being a but", me: I gotta real job! etc etc. Oh the dream, if only I can pull it off eh?

If I was to pull it off i'd probably end up finding some other job to fill in the time with, something that pays a bit with flexible hours, yeah, call centre job. It'll put hairs on my chest or some shit too. I would also head overseas, I was sorta planning on doing that but I don't really feel like it anymore, but hey if I had a grad position lined up I'd have no reason not to, just save the cash and go. I swear to god this is the only reason why grad positions are so sought after, it is because you are given a guaranteed job that starts with at least 4 months unpaid holiday at the start! Who could ask for more? :P

Hmm check this video clip out, it is a clip of a song by a guy called Jason Forrest, supposedly if you see this guy live you are basically watching an old balding man rocking the fuck out with an iMac on stage, if you were to listen to that clip and then imagine seeing him live it just doesn't make sense in my head.

Ok that is enough drivel from me.
