Yeah I found the course I was doing at university to be way more theory orientated than I would've liked. The bad/good thing is that if you pull through all this theory you're more likely to get a job in the area you're studying as apposed to taking a more practical approach to it, like a TAFE course or something (Not sure if TAFE is Australia wide or just SA). That's if it's something like economics or some science related course.
Now for a personal update! Decided that doing nothing is hell, feel like crap most days and am just bored as bat shit. In short, I'm not having a very good time. So I started exercising a bit in the last few days and have already noticed a difference. Feeling a lot better physically and mentally already. So yeah, going to be trying to get in shape, while at the same time putting on a bit of weight because I'm quite rake-like. Just need to keep at it for a few years and not expect any drastic results in the short term.
