I couldn't live here, but that doesn't seem to stop some people
I never cease to be amazed at how most other students in our building appear to live at uni. They return here (after being here all day) after dinner at around 8:30pm, a bit before I leave for the day to have my own. Presumably, they would then work for a considerable amount of time as there's not much point coming to uni for half an hour. I really can't comment on this, as I appear to be one of the few people who actually goes home at night. After yet another night of having time for nothing except dinner, sleep and a few minutes of television, I return here around 9am. And of course, they're all already here waiting for me with expressions which seem to say, "what took you so long? You're such a slacker". You know, when I signed on for this gig, I thought it was for working a minimum of 30 hours a week, not a minimum of 70 hours, which everyone seems to be doing. I'm really starting to have had enough of this "life"style, because I am just watching as the years of so-called life get sucked away. I'm not really living life.
So, does anyone else "live" like this, or have other people in their building who seem to be chronic workaholics?
I started at UWA in 1997, completing a Diploma in Modern Languages (Italian) in 1999. By 2001, I had completed a Bachelor of Computing and Mathematics degree with Honours. In 2002, I worked part-time in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. From 2003 to 2007, I studied for the qualification of PhD in Electrical Engineering at the Western Australian Telecommunications Research Institute (WATRI). My thesis title is "On A Posteriori Probability Decoding of Linear
Block Codes over Discrete Channels", and it is currently under examination.
