Long Day

Finally finishing off after a horrendous day.

I got up and it started well. Ate some blood orange Chobani and delicious toast (I don't really understand how people can just eat yoghurt for breakfast. I mean, I'll eat yoghurt but I always need something extra otherwise it seems to just stimulate my gastric juices and not satisfy my hunger. Also, am I the only person on this earth who actually wakes up hungry and needs to eat breakfast immediately? How can people wait two hours until breakfast or not eat until lunch? Can I start some sort of Breakfast Club?).

I've been panicking again about my study schedule because I haven't started studying for two of my exams... At all. One of them, I've left only one day to study and the other 2.5 days. To be fair, they're both pretty easy units but still, 2.5 and one day... That's not much.

Due to this panicking, I've been trying to plan out all my days with rigidity. Today, I was meant to go hard on practice/past papers for pathology. This occurred from 8am-12pm. I broke for lunch (yes, I eat lunch at 12pm. Is that so wrong?). At around 12.20pm, I got a call from my supervisor at work. She told me she had me down to work today from 12-5pm. I told her I thought I was meant to work tomorrow from 10.30am-5pm. Nope, she said I must've read the roster wrong. No matter, just come in now!

I mean, fine. Whatever. It's not that much of a fuss for me because I actually worked less today than I would have had I worked tomorrow. It almost means I can study straight Sunday-Monday instead of going Saturday, break Sunday then Monday again (continuity; it's important). The thing that bugged me is that I know for 100% that I was originally rostered on for Sunday 10.30am-5pm. I know this for a fact because I take a picture of the work roster every week (because I'm paranoid and have to check at least seven times... and also for other reasons we shan't speak of). The new managers haven't realized I only work one day a week and, therefore, if they change my roster midway during the week and don't tell me, I'll come into work on the day I was supposed to according to the old roster.

It's annoying. Call me next time because now I feel like a dick because I let down my supervisor (who is the sweetest lady and not one of these stupid new managers) even though it was 100% not my fault. I didn't tell my supervisor because she didn't really need it (someone stole her puppy this morning. I know; what is this world coming to? She was an Akita cross something else too. I don't know if you know this but I'm obsessed with Akitas. They are beautiful animals) and it wasn't her fault. But if it happens again, I'm going to chuck a fuss. Because I'm a spoilt brat.

So, that happened. And I didn't get to see R. He's working tomorrow and seeing him tomorrow (when I was supposed to be working) was going to be my study treat. You know how some people eat a bunch of lollies or bake a bunch of brownies and gorge themselves as a study treat? Ever since my new healthy eating/lifestyle plan, I can't do this anymore. I have to turn to other means of satisfaction/relaxation.

After I got back from work, I panicked some more about FCP and pharmacology and how I haven't even started studying for them. And then I panicked about how much I don't know about pathology and how I've basically neglected the lectures from the second half of the study and have decided to completely not bother looking at bottles tutes.

This is so unlike me. I'm an incredibly thorough studier. Well, at least I used to be. In high school, I would start studying way in advance (over a month) for exams. I would study every single possible material I could get my grubby little hands on. Every past test/exam, every question in the study guide, read every note, leave no stone unturned. If I could do that now, I would because I like getting good grades. But I simply don't have the time to in uni. There's always constant work to keep up on that you don't have time to go back and revise old stuff.

It's maddening. Especially for a pedantic person like me.

I need to go shopping (speaking of which, I'm so mad that Target and Myer stocktake sales are during exam period!). This exam business needs to stop. Bring back fingerpainting and spelling words.
