Seriously an hour drive? I take a hour and a half to get to uni four days a week. Go the fuck to Canada.
Ok so if any of this post becomes incomprehensible gibberish, keep in mind I am posting from my phone.
So lately I've been freaking out a lot about basically everything. I still am but its become this quiet seething worry. I don't think I'm going to pass any of my units because I'm pretty sure I'm not smart enough to do this. I'm starting to worry about money because I realise I forgot to pay our power bill so I have to dig into my savings which is not really significant anyway and is really just for the rent I need to pay.next week. While I start my new job on Friday, it is monthly pay so I don't think ill see any money from that until the end of April.
I emailed someone about extra tutoring for the stats but I don't think i can afford to do it nor do I really have the time. I am starting to think I should try and find myself a therapist because I'm having really horrible depression and anxiety over all this and oh man I just don't know what to do but I don't think I have the time for it either (not to mention constantly feeling like I'm not worth helping anyway?). I'm still thinking about withdrawing from uni because I'm really not sure I can handle this. It seemed so important to me before but now I just feel shit all the time and I really don't know what to do. I'm not really asking for advice, though feel free to weigh in. I just kind of wanted to express this because running over it in my head is not helping at all.

Okay so today was a Good Day (tm).
The company I've helped start up (dear god I will probably spam you guys about this at some point in the future) got a 5k investment today, and I got elected head of music at our student radio station. My one and only goal is to be able to get funding to send people to SXSW next year. If anyone has any idea how to do that, please, any hints will be very welcome. I will do this by just reporting the shit out of the local music scene, and just basically reviewing shit all the time. You will not hear the end of this.
Unless of course the company I've helped start up gets accepted to the Y combinator thing we applied for in San Francisco, which would mean I spend the rest of the next year in San Fran.
Dear god, exciting times ahead.

I'm pretty sure you ARE smart enough to do them. Stress with uni is definitely going to be a factor. I think you need to consider whether the stress you are feeling is relating to the difficulties of the course or the fact that you're having to balance all these factors at the same time. I would say the later. Consider that they're going to have fairly high expectations of you in terms of workload etc as they want to prepare you for the professional world.
Regarding potential therapy, are there any counseling services offered by your uni? If there are, they're often the best place to start and may be free/subsidised by the university.
Regarding money: I'm more than happy to help with rent etc but perhaps we should discuss this in person :)

I forgot to add my own embloggening...
I didn't get the google job. I'm very disappointed about this cause it sounded like a really cool job in an interesting environment. I got a phone message last week from the HR person at google saying that they wanted to hire me but head office wasn't keen and to give her a call. I've called and called and haven't been able to get hold of her which is hugely frustrating me. I really wanted to know what went wrong and if there wasn't any possible way to sway them. Regardless, disappointed but this might make me more inclined toward going back to uni next year.
The job market here is challenging. I've been applying fairly consistently and not getting many hits. Perhaps I've been applying over my head? I'm not really too sure. I don't really want to settle for a shitty job just for the money, I'd rather find something I actually don't mind doing.
I'm thinking that maybe I should start looking for 20-30 hour a week jobs and try to do something different from what I did in New Zealand?
Lunchbox:
It's just really tough trying to find any job in Sydney, man. You know how long it's been taking James, and Max has been looking hard as well only to get jobs that don't end up giving him any shifts. Nice one.
I'm just feeling super lucky that I have my job.
