being sick sucks. :yes:

hey aryah!

My last assignment is a fake research proposal, basically it's to write an application for approval from the university to get funding for a study that I'm proposing to do, only I wouldn't go through with the actual application or research as such. :)

*yawns* I've been so tired lately. =_=;; Work is just ridiculous. I'm sooo not looking forward to be living and working in tents all summer long. :gonk:

sounds interesting, ling. I think anyways. it's not the sort of assignment I'd ever do

hey tori! you're living in tents!? why!!?

Kat! Hey! How are you?

It's a mission all summer long. Providing medical care to ROTC cadets. ~_~;;

I'm alright.

that sucks. *hug*

You look after yourself too Tori....

And Kat, yes, my assignment is somewhat interesting....however it's also a challenge, because I have to write in a different style compared to say writing an essay.

hm, I see. i'm not one much for technical writing. I'm all fiction.

Neither am I, but I have to for my assignments. I like writing fiction too, when I'm inspired. :)

its amazing how much writing one has to do for school.

Yes, indeed....

I'm a writing minor though so I foresee tons of writing in my future.

That's awesome Kat. I don't plan to write professionally but I do enjoy writing for pleasure.

I plan to write professionally, but I doubt I could ever support myself with it.

I imagine it'd be extremely hard to live off professional writing, especially fiction, where you have to have that entertainment factor.

my dad says it'd be pretty much impossible for me and that I should just concentrate on my art.

Aw, nothing is impossible. *hugs* Even published writers have to go through several publishers before they actually get their work in print. Think of Harry Potter. xD I'm sure all the publishers who turned down J. K. Rowling are kicking themselves now!

Ling: yeah, it was totally awesome. We didn't really do anything in Melbourne other than go from the airport up to her town. And then back down there the day I left.

TK!! :glomp: How've ya been??!

Hey Hope! Ouah! To be able to travel to Australia! *o* How was it?

I've been okay. Just really boggled down by work. I've been so tired lately from all the labor and long hours that I've opted to just sleep whenever I got a chance. ^^;;

Hope: I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in Australia. Some of the best tourist destinations are actually out of the cities in my opinion anyway.

Tori: Good to hear you're resting/sleeping when you get the chance. :)

TK: Yeah It was totally awesome! I got to meet one of my friends who I met online like 5 years ago. :) Totally amazing and I'm still trying to find the energy to sort through the pictures. Lol! I think I may have gone a bit camera crazy. Lol! Although the flights there and back were just insane, but all so totally worth it! :)

Awe! But good to hear that you're doing alright. I start work tomorrow - I'm sure they'll be wearing me out. I'm a nanny for 2 boys, and I need to call their mum to ask her what time they'll be showing up here tomorrow. xD Probably earlier than I want, but hey, at least I have a job right? I hope that you can catch up on sleep soon!

Ling: Oh, we were out in a city. Just out of Melbourne - about a 3 hour drive out of Melbourne. But it was nice to have a 'home base' that we could come back to. :) Made it easier than going from place to place to place, if you ask me. :)

Tori: I guess you're right. it's really hard to be a writer, but it isn't unreachable.

Hope: a nanny huh? that seems to be a pretty popular job choice of the people I know.

Kat: It pays pretty well. I get 50$ a day - so I get 200$ a week. (They're not at the age where I have to keep an eye on them all the time - they're 11 and 12) but they definitely are good at wearing me out. I start tomorrow.

sounds like a good deal! I make $0!!!
