Certificate versus Diploma

I was just thinking this morning that instead of doing the Diploma at Deakin, I can do the Certificate, and can apply to upgrade from the Deakin Certificate to the USYD [I think that's the shorter version they use of the University of Sydney] Diploma! They might go for that. I might still get an offer in the final round, it's possible, but if not I might switch to the Deakin Certificate, if that can be done, so I can apply to do the USYD Diploma mid-year. That would be better. I don't want to abandon all hope. Nope I don't.

I've been thinking of the renting situation. Yesterday I found a cute room with en-sweet that was fully furnished in a "friendly share house," which happened to be on Mary Ann St [my mum's name is Maryann] and close to Darling Harbour and the city. It looks like a nice room with a really nice bathroom and it has French doors that open out onto the backyard with a table and chairs. I'm not sure I'd like it though because I'd feel weird about cooking with others around and walking in their house. I will see if I can get my own place of get in contact with Kirsten's friend Katie.

It's all feeling a bit strange. I'm heading off this time next week I reckon. I finish work this weekend [so glad about that] but it's all up in the air. It'll be good to get there and visit these houses and make a decision. Hopefully I'll have one within a week. That might be pushing it. I'll see.

I really need to start my Fronting MONA essay. Eek. It's due on the 11th of February. Heaps of time! Still, eek!
