From Wednesday onwards, life is just going to get absolutely hectic. That's when university starts, and given that I've got to juggle work and varsity simultaneously, it should be somewhat tough, in a good sort of way.

I spent eight hours at RAU yesterday trying to register. They chased me around like a fool, regarding course modules I dropped. So ultimately, what ended up happening was by the time I got one piece of yellow paper with a certain person's signature on, it was too late to register me, because my faculty dean had left. I'd say yesterday taught me to make the most of a ridiculous situation, but I'm not going to comment on that here.

One good sign though, was that I was fairly calm about it. As calm as any man that only woke up at six in the morning, having gotten only fours hours of sleep, could have been. Fact is, they wasted my entire day yesterday, and today I need to go back for more of the same, but I'm not really too fussed. Just as long as I do actually get registered. And while this may not seem an amazing feat in itself, given that I know how I would've reacted at the start of this year, it's a definite improvement for me.

As it stands, over the past month, I've kicked sleeping pills, headache pills, and caffeine. I'm feeling quite chuffed with myself.

Since my last post, I've had more than my fair share of women issues, but I can't honestly be fussed to discuss them. Ironically, I've gone from being shafted because women perceived me as gay, to being shafted because women perceive me as a player. Life sucks like that.

Then you get women that claim to have no physical attraction to you, yet don't trust themselves around you. Women are like waves in that they're totally unpredictable.

At the start of the month, I was in a really ridiculous state. Never before had I been so irritable, so angry, and never before had I felt so physically unwell. It was a combination of the drugs I was on. The sleeping pills meant I wasn't getting any natural sleep, and as such, they caused headaches. That led to me taking an excess of headache pills. As for caffeine, it was what gave me the boost I needed to function without natural sleep. That wonderful pill concoction I'd become so dependant on drove me to total irritability, such that I even threatened to castrate various friends of mine if they interrupted the two week break I planned to take.

And now, after that break, I'm feeling way better. I've discovered a new level of self-control. Over and above that, I feel infinitely healthier. Over the course of the past two weeks, I've had a chance to view everything in my life, and make changes accordingly.

Life is better. Much better.
