Back on track ...

It's doing my head in ... not really I just thought that phrase went well with the pic to the right. The not really part is related to the TV or lack there of which is going well, I only watched about 2 hours tonight. Today Tonight - Some of the stories they show are lame, really and they are so good at giving off the wrong impression, for example tonight there was a story about feeding your family for $120 for 14 meals, although that is impressive, and doable, the story was based in the east, where the lady shopped at ALDI, we don't have ADLI in the west, well not yet and I am sure not as long as our trading hours are so screwed up, but I won't get started on that. Anyway taking things out of context really drives me mad, because it misleads consumers and TT often do that, I might have to add that one to the list of CRAP TV that I don't need to watch. Well in progression I watch H&A while I ate a lovely dinner my wife made, Spag Bol - Yumm. Then I broke away from the BOX for about an hour before reading a book to by beautiful little Em. We read "The Cat in the Hat Returns." which was fun to read but a decent sized book for a two year old, but I managed to keep her attention until the last page, I did, yes did I....

Finally I watched Packed to the Rafters which would have to be one of the most watched Australian TV shows around at the moment, and in the interest of keeping up to date socially, I watched it. Well that is what I tell myself to justify it anyway, and because I like I will keep doing so, so I will.....

That made up my about two hours, so I am happy with that. I just need to work out how to be more productive with the spare time now.

The thing that is really doing my head in, is Uni and I haven't even finished the first week. I feel like I am behind, and I need to get it under control other wise it will just keep slipping away. I even feel guilty about spending time to write this post rather than reading or attempting another exercise for one of my units. I will never the less do that after. FYI, I will add a bit about the challenges of my study along the way, as that is the thing that is taking the most of my attention away from my commitment to cutting down the TV. On the lighter side I do feel that TAX of all units will be quite good this semester, so many people hate it but for some unknown reason I enjoyed it a little. Go figure ... maybe I have found my calling but I won't rush out just yet, I will give it a few weeks and see how it goes. I am dreading tomorrows unit, Corporate Issues unfortunately a sore point that I am not willing to go into but I fear that this will be the most challenging of units for myself, not to mention the six text books that I have to read for this semester that cost almost $700 WTF.

However I feel that I am beginning to waffle a little and that is generally my cue to stop, so until next time ....... I am still committed.
