Fark, I’ll be glad for this week to end.

TAFE started on Monday, doing Diploma in Website Design this time, and it’s giving me the wake-up call of my life. The whole set-up is around trying to get you used to a real web design studio. The room is seperated into cubicles (1 group sits in one area), we have our own meeting area, with flashy new ‘smartboard’ which shows the computer screen of the computer near by and acts like a whiteboard, hell we even have our own voicemail and phone, and can make unlimited STD calls (cue mischievous music). The hours are 8:30 – 5, Monday through to Wednesday. The weird thing is… I actually feel the incentive to do the work this semester. That would be a first.

And what a great week to be flattened by work… the week I proposed to stop drinking anything that contains caffeine. I quit on Monday night, and all throughout the week I’ve had this groggy feeling in the head, which worsens to a full blown migraine at times. I didn’t think I was THAT caffeine-dependent, but there’s the proof. The family is suprised as well, they have about 5 bottles of Coke and Pepsi Max in the fridge not getting touched. I guess it’s all for the better, I’ll slug it out and eventually get over it. It’s just…. orange juice doesn’t have the same zing as Coke.

I started going back to the gym too, but have lost nearly all the muscle I gained six months ago. So it’s back to building it again.

… it’s the start of a new me it seems.
