Uni… and floods.

Posted Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

I was encouraged by Sophist to start my own writing online again. It may help me get used to writing a bit more but I really have to get the motivation up to keep writing even if I don’t feel like it. It is the only way I will improve.

I have just finished choosing my subjects for university for this first semester of the year. They are Biological Bases of Behaviour (which I am sure will end up being my favourite subject), Advanced Quantitative Research Methods (which I am sure will do my head in) and Drugs and Dependence (which is a second year subject that I dropped last year when I was having rl problems and I need to do it in order to have a Minor in Health Psychology).

GA will be starting his first year doing Education and I think it will be awesome to have his company and friendship while I am at uni. At the end of last year, though, I started getting to know the people in my classes and talked to them about psychology which was what I wanted right from the start. Making friends has been really difficult and slow-going but I think I have gotten there.

I sign up for my actual classes on January 14th.

As for the floods, it was particularly bad in Toowoomba, which is in the south east of Queensland and also where GA’s parents and family live. GA came home just a few days before the flash-flooding that swept through Toowoomba. GA’s nana and aunty experienced flooding in their houses but are otherwise ok.

Here is a Youtube video showing how quick the floodwaters rose and washed a carpark of cars away:

Now Brisbane faces the biggest flood in recorded history.
