[update]

It's been a little while since I've updated.

Finally saw Star Trek!!! I loved it. Totally awesome. Has made me want to rewatch some Trek. Methinks I might do a Voyager rewatch - coz everyone flailing over the shippy has made me pine for my Trek OTP.

So, now we come to the real news. I AM FREAKING OUT. I am so stressed I can't even tell you. My part time study is due today and I'm not entirely confident that I will pass it. Because for the last month I have been investigating house things. Thats right, I might possibly perhaps maybe be building a house. So for the last month, I've been doing house things every weekend. And it is stressful. Seriously, I havent had a decent night sleep in two weeks. And so my study has suffered. Then I get into a pattern where when I am doing house stuff and stressing about my study and when I am studying I am still thinking about house things.

For better or for worse I have to hand my work in today. It's not as completed as I would have liked, but at least I am handing something in. I'm just hoping for the best. Obviously working at the place I am studying I know the teacher and am hoping he will go easy on me. Plus, some of the questions were really hospitality focused, when I am studying Tourism and have never worked or studied hospitality in my life. My original thoughts were worst case scenario, I fail, and then I have six weeks to resubmit. But then a coordinator said today that you can't resubmit flexible work. I JUST DONT KNOW. I know its too late to do anything about it now, but I am stressing so bad.

But when I am not thinking about study stuff I am stressing about the house stuff. This is seriously the most terrified I have ever been in my life. Because I am doing this all by myself and I have crap wages and its so expensive and it's freaking terrifying!

Ugh. I'm so exhausted.

In other, more happier news, I bought my ticket to Avenue Q today, and my younger sis will probably be giving birth next week.

***
TL;DR - Maybe buying a house + my study being due today (and not being confident that I will pass) = me being freaking stressed.

Whooo house! Hope you pass your coursework!! =)

If you are seriously considering building a house, please visit this website: Prebuilt. They do prefab homes that are between 5 & 6 star rated (as in they start @ 6-star). Their cheapest house is $128,000 a mostly complete (ie no floor coverings etc, but that's how you usually get a house) 3 bedroom house. One of these houses was in the bushfire up here @ Drummond (2 weeks pre-Black Saturday) and the fire went COMPLETELY through it. The house did not burn, there was a cat inside, and everything was OK. THey lose their patio furniture @ some plastic downpipes, but NOTHING ELSE.

They are a very serious brilliant company and I can do no more than highly recommend them.

Thanks for the info. Looks a bit too country for where I am building though. LOL.

LOL. Don't let that put you off, they do inner-city extensions ALL the time!! (ie, putting the back half of a house on top of the other, in Fitzroy or something) But yeah, I can kinda see your point.

Also, and I can't believe I didn't say anything before, but YAY FOR SEEING STAR TREK!!! I am ALL OVER this Reboot, and it is apparently my new fandom :D

The movie was kinda awesome. I love that ST has become cool after all these years of it being the epitome of geekiness (and not in a good way).

[caitlen.livejournal.com]

No, how awesome is it that it's POPULAR right now. It's a bizarre feeling. Then again, dude - it's the ST Reboot, which is MADE of AWESOME< and not only us geeks think so :D I feel blessed that my original fandom has been remade in such a brilliant way :) New Life!!

Yay for Star Trek - it was indeed awesome!

I've been thinking about a house myself, too, and know how much time and energy it sucks up. Hope things work out.

It so was. I am so geeking out at the moment and rewatching some Voyager. :O)

It's so much time and stress - and I havent even signed anything yet!!!
