Last night I was invited to go for a midnight drive with one of my mates.
Not a 'makin' mayhem' type of drive where the passengers are up to no good - this was a 'need to get out of the house and the situation I'm in drive' where we go to a location and relax; no rough housing at all.
Luckily for me (though I didn't know this at the time) I had Uni in the morning, it was cold and to be honest, I really didn't want to go. So I declined.
I declined despite I knew that there would be a special guest.
So there was my friend (the driver), a mutual friend of ours - and the guest; a man friend of the driver, who (she made clear) was very single.
Despite my cat-like curiosity I stayed home and today messaged her about how it went.
The guest didn't go - after I was going she told him not to bother. OK definitely a set up situation.
I wasn't up to coyness so I asked who he was. She told me.
Now I've never met him personally and there was a reason why:
Not only is he an ex of the setter-upper-er, he's a douche (took her on dangerous car rides (go figure)) and a complete bogan/country arse.
She tried to set me up with him!?
Not only was a receiving her leftovers but she knew what he was like and that we would be TOTALLY wrong for each other in absolutely every way.
I think there's something more going on here - there's no way she though we would actually date or that I would even consider him - it just wouldn't happen.
I'm now starting to doubt her motives.
Like some screwed over, retired spy - urgh. there's something wrong with me.
I always thought being set up by a friend would be exciting, fun and he'd be my perfect match. But this was wrong on so many levels.
I'm super glad I didn't go on last nights drive; I hate to think how I would have taken it at the time (over the computer was bad enough).
She's not one of my favourite friends - she's full of drama and melodramas over everything. She only hangs out with me and a guy friend of ours. Our other friends are smart enough to keep their distance - maybe I should do the same.
Thank God I have Uni to distract me.

To Keep the Degree, or Change the Degree? That is the Question.
University - the place where your decisions will have an impact on the rest of your life.
Well, career wise, anyway.
HELP!
Recently I made the decision to change my bachelor degree. I've been mulling it over for ages now, but until recently decided to take the plunge.
So I emailed the people I needed to talk to and asked how I change my degree.
I didn't think it would be that hard - I've already done units, which can be crossed over into my new degree and any that can't can be applied to credit.
Too easy.
Well, so I thought.
The process will take at least two weeks. I have only a month before enrolments close. And I can't enrol until they have given me an offer.
So I'm working against the clock here.
The longer I put off enrolling - the harder it will be to get the classes and the times I want.
Shit.
And on top of that, I've missed units, which can only be done in Semester one. So I will be behind - but I'm pretty sure, I can catch up next year - well at least I think.
And then I think, "what if I can't?"
I know, just email people who can help and they will tell you. Well I have. Several times.
And here's my second worry.
I emailed the people to talk to on Monday, since then - today's Wednesday, I have been emailing them with new questions. Because obviously, once they answer something, a new question comes into my head.
And I'm a worrier. So I've been asking everything.
I know it's their job, and I'm sure they're happy to do it. But I can't help but feel sorry for them.
Here's a girl, changing her degree at the last minute, has a gazillion questions....
But I have to say, the women who has been helping me has been extremely helpful, and is doing a great job, helping me make a decision.
And yet, I still haven't made it.
To keep the degree?
Or change the degree?
I'm worried if I change my degree, it wont get processed in time, and then I don't know what I could do. I honestly don't.
On the other hand, if I keep the degree I'm doing now, the chances of me not enjoying it are high. I won't be interested in it and I'm positive it will impact my marks. In a negative way, obviously.
So what to do?
To be honest, I don't know. And with time working against me, I'm really starting to freak out.
Oh, and did I mention:
I've only done one semester of uni. I'm still new to this whole world, and mixing it up is seriously freaking me out!
Well, career wise, anyway.
