So, okay. Assignments suck. I've decided that's my vibe for 2019. Not to hate assignments. That's been my vibe since I began this thrilling quest we sometimes call university life. No, the vibe is to jump straight into things. Like, I haven't updated anyone about my spicy&exciting&fun&fresh life in almost a year now so you know what I'm not going to beat around the bush like I always do, let's just get straight to it.
But right before we do, I honestly just have to say I tried vegetarian sushi for the first time last week and mmm it changed my freakin' life. Do I curse on my blog? Is freak a curse word? My curling iron is also heating up as I write this and it's midnight and I have a 10 am meeting tomorrow and I don't know why I'm curling my hair at midnight so excuse me but I cannot think straight. But we digress my young, young children. Back to the sushi we go. It was good. I must mention I had it during a study group meeting while the other group members were talking and discussing ideas and I was dunking the sushi into soy sauce, it couldn't have been much fun for them watch me lick sauce off my hands. I would give the sushi a solid 8/10 but not a study-group-type-meal.
Speaking of new year's resolutions (we weren't really but we should have been) I have decided I simply must stop saying the world 'like' every 2 seconds. It is:
1. uncool
2. not fun&fresh
3. makes me sound like an idiot
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
AnyWAY, assignments though, amirite! I thought switching from a double major to a single major might be easier but I would like to go on record and say it is in fact not. I am also a disgusting human being and even though I am no longer in the Adam Smith Business School and am very much in the School of Social Sciences only own a business school hoodie which even has my name on it which I got after I switched schools??? No follow up questions, thank you.
We kid of course. Psychology is my One True Passion and though the journey is sometimes tiresome and triggering, tis a fun one. I'm halfway through 3rd year now so just a year and a half to go, which means I have a #system for coursework by this point. I have a very weird but thorough (in my opinion) process. I own a MacBook which doesn't have Microsoft Word, only Pages (R.I.P. in pieces). I write all my assignments on my laptop, which is alright but Pages and Word are a little different; the word count isn't the exact same, I prefer writing my reference section in Word and in general formatting in Word is easier to me. So I write my draft on my Mac, then I export it to Word, then I email that to myself, then I go the library early morning the day of the submission to snag a library computer on Level 3 (near the cookies and coffee mmm) and only THEN do I submit. Because Pages is shady. You didn't hear it from me. But it high-key is.
I've been doing this for almost 2 years now and I never thought what a long process this is. Also how dumb it is. I also never thought maybe I should just pay for and buy Word??? Maybe if I didn't spend all my money on deliveroo I'd have some left to buy the things I actually need. But I do need taco bell as well. Some strong arguments were made tonight.
So last week we had a group submission and being the team player your gal is, I piped up I probably shouldn't be the one to submit it, given my s y s t e m. I was all "Oh you know I have a mAc!!!1!!1!! we know how hard those are to work with!!!! #relatableteenzonly". At which point I was met with confused looks. Heart beating fast, I noticed everyone else also had a Mac but no one was agreeing with me. I was all "Don't you pals use pages?", to which the pals replied "R u ok and also what is pages but more to the point r u ok???"
It turns out our University offers us a free trial of all Microsoft Office products for as long as we're in the University. So 4 years for me. Which I found out when I have been at this University for 3 years.
So it's not awesome. But at least I don't have to work in Pages anymore.
