Forget to Remember

I’m tired. I’m very tired.
I’m feeling a little better than when I last posted. But, I’m still feeling tired. I honestly cannot wait for a holiday, but that is in another five or so weeks. And this time it’ll be the end of semesters so there are no hidden little assignments to do.
I feel like I’ve worked hard this semester. 
I’m sort of eager to get some assignments back so I know how I’m going. It’s a really good feeling when that hard work pays off.
Nearly every day I wake up at 6:00am. By 6:50 I should be out the door to be taken to the train station. My brother comes along as well since he also needs to catch a train.
I love my mornings. I am a very morning person, and I can concentrate and think better in the mornings. But what I hate is rushing in the morning. I can’t stand the rush.
Rush gets you in big trouble. I can name several moments when I’ve forgotten things at home because I’ve been in a mad rush. The one time I forgot my wallet, my mum was very angry that she had to make a trip back home. 
One time I forgot my work shirt. I go work straight after university, so there isn’t really a way of me getting the shirt if I leave it at home.
Forgetting things is absolutely terrible. I hate forgetting things, and whenever I am out and about, I have awful feelings when I get up from sitting somewhere, whether it’s just sitting, or having lunch, or watching something, or on public transport – that I have left something behind. I get up and look around the seat I sat in, and I make sure I don’t leave anything behind. It makes me paranoid, and even after the space I was in is clear, I get up and walk away, still having that horrible feeling that I’ve left something behind.
When you’re in a rush, you don’t even get the opportunity to turn around and see what you’ve left behind – if anything.
When you’re in a rush, you dash out the door from home, not realising you left something behind on your desk.
Your assignment.
Oh, that is the worst.
I believe it happened to me once in high school, but lucky for me, I had a copy on my USB/memory stick and could print it from the school computers. There was no way I was walking back home! 
I don’t know why, but as big as my laptop is and the amount of space it takes up in my bag, I always feel like I’ve left it behind. I’ve had it a year and I promise you, I’m still not adjusted to the fact that it’s the computer I use regularly and the fact that it’s portable. I’m taking all my files and programs and graphics and website files with me – for some reason, I’m still not used to it! I take it with me and sometimes it slips my mind and I think that I’ve left something at home. 
Today I forgot my water bottle, which resulted in me buying bottled water and McDonald’s successfully luring me into buying a caramel latte (which was expensive).
Oh, the joys of forgetting things. 
The lines were also really slow, and supposedly not very many people were even there. If there were five people in line, it would take ten or fifteen minutes to buy a bottle of water. They need to train their employees to be fast and speedy 
I have parent teacher interviews coming up, and I wonder what my art teacher would say to my dad about me..chances are she’ll just be a suck up like all the other teachers 
I thought you DID go to UNSW >_> Well, never mind

Hello!
I’m sorry to hear that you are still feeling tired
I’m tired too. We can both be tired together. But I am glad to hear that you’re slightly less tired than when you last posted 
Man semester break. CANNOT WAIT. There is so much reading I want to do. And sleep to catch up on. WE MUST GO SHOPPING
Hahaha, I’m the opposite to you. I think I’ve been doing badly this semester, so I DON’T want my results back. I just got econ203 back today, and I got exactly 50%. Never have I been so happy to get a FIFTY. Because it meant I passed and the fail rate was something between 60-80%.
I’m sure you’ll do well though
All the effort you put in SHOULD pay off, otherwise I shall kick your tutors in the head and change your mark. Or I can get someone to hack they system for you 
OMG. 6.50am
This whole year, I’ve only ever been up that early ONCE 
It was horrible 
I am so not a morning person. But it’s good that you are 
I always feel like I should use my mornings better, but I’m just not awake.
I hate rushing fullstop. Whether it be rushing in the morning or the afternoon, I hate it.
THAT FEELING WHEN YOU REALISE YOU’VE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING
That is a HORRIBLE feeling. It’s even worse when you realise there’s no way you can go back and get it 
Awwww. Yeah…forgetting your wallet sucks
Lucky it only happened once 
Hahaha. Once I thought I forgot my wallet and then my dad drove me home to get it, and then when I got home I realised it was still in my bag, but it was hidden by my books == Stupid me!
Yeah, it kind of seems like all coffees and lattes made by McDonalds or actual stores like that are expensive
Although come to think of it…I’d have thought McDonald’s would be cheaper =S
Hahaha! It’s kind of funny how you keep thinking you’ve forgotten your laptop, given it’s size.
Mine is too heavy, so I totally know when I’ve got mine ==

I’m just so glad it’s the weekend now because at least we can catch up on some sleep.
I can’t wait for semester break either.
I really just want to get some of these assignments completely out of the way.
At least you passed! Man, I’m getting terrible sensations that my course is just a heck of a lot easier than yours and James’s. James was happy to get 52% on a test – the passing mark being 51%. And then I got a HD. I swear I’m not the smart one here!
We were allowed to have our papers re-marked for one of our assignments but a distinction was fair enough for me. It would have to be “outstanding” if I deserved a HD and it wasn’t quite outstanding.
I’ve been up that early too much lately… I think the same deal happened last year too – I don’t know how I survived. During high school I woke up at that time too but I was safe leaving the house at some time past 7am – fifteen minutes difference from 6:50 is really a big difference. *nods*
I also hate peak times when public transport is full.
Ugh I hate that so much! On occasions I’ve gone through the barriers at the train station, only to realise that I haven’t gotten my newspaper (we subscribed with the uni)…
Oh no! I hope your dad wasn’t too mad.
My mum hates when I do that, so the time I forgot my wallet she kept telling me to check my bag. How I hoped it was there so she wouldn’t get so mad, but no.
I thought so too! Stupid McDonald’s.
