A horrible ending to 2014

So not too long after my last post, maybe a week or something, not too long before Christmas, my boyfriend and I decided it would be best to end our 2 and a half year relationship. At that point, we were living together for a bit over a year. We both saw it coming and it was shit.
So, I'm now single and back living with my mum, who lives about 2 hours out of Adelaide. Which put a big spanner in the cogs. It just fucks up my next year or two for school.
Right now I'm thinking, do another cert II, externally, and work on getting a job in the new year. The cert II I'm thinking of doing, and most likely will do, is only a 6 month thing. So, I will need to find something else to do in semester 2 of 2015. I'm thinking, if I have a job at that point, to do a cert III in Women's Studies externally, which is only a part time course so, it'll help if I had a job. But if not that, I may have a bit more money to work with, job or no job, so I MAY be able to choose a course to do externally, and pay for that. And I mean any course that they offer externally/online.. because at that point, I may be able to pay for it. Happily.

But anyways, I should try and sleep again. I hope you had a happy holidays, unlike me, and you have an alright new years.
 Talk to you again at some point... :/

Umm.. Hello?

Hello, Hello!

Sorry for not blogging but school, you know?! Happily, I've finished all my work, I handed the last of it in yesterday and my teacher is spending the next few days marking it (there were a few assignments I needed to finish in about a week and a half, too stressful). But once everything is marked and I've passed everything, I've got a certificate II in Women's Studies. Which will be my first certificate ever. I'm happy I have a certificate, finally.

A little while ago, I was thinking about what I'm going to do in the future, but a good few years ahead, not just the next thing I'm doing. But I'm thinking of possibly doing the certificate IV in Women's studies next year. I'm also planing on going into the school to learn it, so I can try and be more social and I'll also get out of the house. I'm hoping that since I have the cert. II, it'll make the cert IV shorter, hopefully knock off 3 to 6 months off of doing, or at least give me some more free time I guess. So that's my 2015, I'm hoping, then in 2016, I'm thinking of possibly doing a diploma or an advanced diploma in something, possibly marketing, advertising or even graphic design. I guess we'll see when it gets to it, however I am leaning towards the advertising right now.

As for a job, I'm thinking, once school starts and I get into a routine, I'll look for part time jobs, possibly get a little more work experience. But once again, We'll see!

Hey, Look, School! And NaNoWriMo is on the Horizon!

I'm sorry I haven't written anything, I've still been distracted and stressing about school. I'm behind, can you imagine? Because I can!! I still have 2 modules to finish from last term, and 2 of the 5 this term have arrived. The last few should be arriving today or tomorrow and I'm actually going to try and stick to the suggested study about a week.
This certificate, to me, feel silly to me. With modules like, "How to Operate a Personal Computer" and "Use, Communicate and Search Securely on the Internet" I feel like I just want to skip it all. There was a thing on groups and some 'basic' math, which was interesting. I got through all of the math stuff in about 2 days, about 2 or so hours each day. There is an introduction type module, about women in the workforce, I think it is, the beginning of it just felt.. WHY?! It came across as being that counselor that says, "You are a special and unique snowflake, You can do anything, because you are different and amazing and special!" And I just hate people/things like that.

I was bored yesterday and I
felt like making a cover,
since I noticed you could add
one on the NaNo site so...
Also on a different note, I'm going to attempt NaNoWriMo this year, I've don't a tiny amount of planning. To the point of, I know the basic concept of what I am doing. I'm going to do a Doctor who / Minecraft fan fiction. I feel it's easy enough, I have a pre-made world, pre-made, but flexible, character, and the world is amazing open so anything can happen. I'm only really aiming for 20k to 25k words this year, because it is my first year of actually writing. But I'll see how I juggle writing 500 to 1000 words day with school work. The novel link thingy to read about it: HERE!!

Sorry For No Posts, Future Posts Will Be Scarce

I know I'm meant to be posting Wednesdays and maybe on Sundays, but I just haven't been able to blog because I've been distracted, but for a good-ish reason, a reasonable reason.
This reason of why I can't write for you is: SCHOOL! On late Saturday night, 30th August 2014, I was looking through my work to see what module/topic/subject I should do next. I was looking at one of the sheets and I noticed that I had to finish a subject on the 3rd. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure if it was the 3rd of September, which I think it was and why I was busy, or the 3rd of October, which is next month. But I hadn't started this subject yet and I needed to finish it in about 3 or so day, so I did.

That's basically why I didn't  blog on those two days, I was trying to shove down school work so I could hand it in. But I have about 3 and a half weeks to finish 3 more subjects, then it'll be a term break so, this is just a warning to let you know I may not be able to blog for a little. I will still try to though!

I'm doing my Cert. II externally (at home) meaning I don't have to go in to a TAFE SA campus to attend classes, I get all of my work sent to my house. I have, I think, about 3 and a half weeks to finish 3 more modules.
