Scratches on a scroll

It's almost the end of the semester and exam's coming up! Instead of finding some time to update, I've been mucking around, solving samurai sudoku puzzles, meeting new people, completing more assignments and not really spending enough time on revision. XD

I've been feeling wobblier than usual and that's a very very bad sign. =( The weather's getting colder and usually you'll feel less active during winter. That would mean that it'll be easy to gain weight! Noooo!! Somehow eventhough I've been walking at least 1km a day, I don't feel like I'm losing any weight or at least try to maintain it but my leg muscles, and I think my butt too, is getting tougher. (^.^)

I did something new yesterday and I earned my first AUD$15 by participating in a psychology research! Woohoo! =D They needed international students from Asia and I signed up for it. All I had to do was sit in a room and answer questions for almost an hour and ka-chiing! I got paid! Sweeet~~~ Ever since I found out that they paid people to participate in research, I've been looking out for ads in the uni's Psych department. Easy money! Yeah! =D

So far I haven't gotten any replies from places I applied for a job. Me thinks they think twice about hiring international students because firstly, our student visa only permits us to work a max of 20 hours a week during schooling times and unlimited hours during school breaks. Secondly, they might think it's risky, just in case we can't communicate well with other locals and make it look bad for their business. Then again, maybe the main reason is that they want to minimise the number of unemployed local youths and hiring international students might mean money going outta the country. =S

I just hope I get a job soon so that I won't be a bum at home for a month after my exams!
