Booo presentations... and houses....

Ahhhh, man. What a downer of a day.

What the hell did I do. I kind of don't remember. Bleh, got up at like 8 AM I think it was, skipped breakfast... went for lunch at 11 AM with MCAC (there was... Chris, Bernie, Sharon, Vu, Drue and Jason...). 12:30... tutorial for english lit. On book I didn't read. Didn't say anything, didn't do anything. I think I fell asleep for five minutes of the class. Didn't help that the tutor is like.. right next to me. So he knew I was doodling, eating chocolate and sleeping in the class.

Went back to "The Secret Hideout", Natalie and Drue were there. V suddenly called and then he called Tsan over to drive her back. Apparently he was gonna drive me, Jia Chee and Sharon (MUISS) to our house inspection. In the end they joined us for it, lol.

The agent was really late for the house inspection. The house was nice though, it was like... on the same road as that house Ieja, Aya and Nabila stayed in before they moved to the Townhouse/Halls.... but yeah, no furnishings. So boo. The house was around the same design as Ieja's place before, except it was all pink. It was nice though... a nice pink and HUGE ass girly house. All for only $420 per week. If only there was furniture... *sighs*.... I was getting a bit down about the housing, the amount of choices we have left are... too limited now. There's no way we'll be able to find a furnished household.

Sharon and me talked for a bit and yeah, I won't give up just yet. Phoned this lady about a rooming house. Where I rent the room and stuff. Not the house. Sharon was worried about the lack of a contract though. And I didn't realise it myself. Forgot that no contract means that we're at the mercy of the landlord. And landlords loooove to take advantage of the insecure students who don't want to risk being thrown out and homeless. But yeah, inspection on Saturday. Let's hope this goes well. But everyone I know who has or is at a rooming house isn't having a good experience with it. Cause the landlord is always trying to fuck everyone up.

Running out of choices. Stress, stress, stress.

Went home. Made dinner (out of random stuff I still have...). Then worked on Education presentation. I struggled with it since I like... wasn't really there at the Melbourne show much. At 10, I went over to Debbie's place since I was getting worried it would be too late to discuss with her. And I ran out of things to type. So we both discussed in my room over what we were generally gonna do tomorrow. Once again, we have a messy unplanned plan. But our presentations are always like this and they always go well!

Heh, I'm generally alone and isolated in all my classes (with the exception of EIL, all my other classes I'm normally the only international student.. cept for media also actually...), I'm pretty lucky to have gotten Debbie as me partner. XD We work fairly well together, despite that fact that we're both like completely different people. I mean I'm like some random Chinese, International student who lives.. well not in a city but a generally urbanised area. And Debbie's a local Australian who grew up on farm land. Tomorrow's our last collaboration together, hope it goes well. No idea whether we will still be partners next year.....

Drue asked me to maccas again but I'll probably take another rain check. I wanna sleep soon....

Oh right, I forgot to say. Last night was funny. The fire alarm went off at like past midnight, and for the first time ever I like... just didn't go, lol. Wasn't bothered. I was telling Chris on msn how I would tell him my last words to my family if there really was a fire. I was expecting my luck to be so bad, you know, like the only time I don't go is the only time there is fire. Seemed like another false alarm though.

Education Assignment 1.

Aww... crap. I thought my assignment was 2000 words. Until I read the booklet and it says that the oral presentation I did earlier a few weeks back is 400 words equivalent. That means it's 1600 words. I've written like 1500 words and haven't even gotten to the point yet (cause I thought I would have at the most another 700 words to do that). Bah. Now to cut down and edit to make sure whatever I write is gonna get me a C at least (preferably a D or HD though). I really have to start reading these things.

I set my alarm for 5 AM but I didn't actually get up until 7 (too tired I guess). At 9 past I went to Brandon Park to get my weekly groceries. Or uhh... since the upcoming week I'm kind of either busy rushing with my communication assignment, or just not around because of Manifest and stuff, I decided not to buy fresh food. I'll just be munching on canned food and bread for the week when I'm actually at home. No cooking and unhealthy food ftw!~ I spent an unnecessary amount of time at Brandon Park though because I was looking at make-up and dresses and stuff for Amaranth. I was tempted to get another dress but I decided not too. Since the ones I saw there aren't that nice, I should just wear what I have now and go to Malaysia to buy nicer ones for next years balls. Heh.

Before leaving, I ran into Amanda and the group (made up of Sharon, Jia Chi, Stan and Jonathan). I remember them saying they would come at past 10:30. I couldn't tell them I have been at Brandon Park since 9:30 (like I said I would the day before).

I didn't buy much food, but the make-up sure burned a hole in my wallet. Ugh, I never thought I would see the day I would actually be buying make-up. What has happened to my past tomboy-ish messy self. Nooo~ it has gone. My uni friends probably wouldn't be believe me if I said in the past I didn't really do any of these girly things (buy accessories and jewelry and have like 1000 pairs of shoes). And have people like Manju point out to me each time I wear something remotedly more girly ("Oh! Celine, you look girlier now.") Just as they don't believe me when I said or say actually that I'm shy and sutff. Yeah, next Thursday I shall be experimenting with make-up for Amaranth.

Oh and Amaranth seating arrangements (we had seat arrangements? T-T) came out. I'm next to Jules and... the random person on our table (since we had a group of 9 on a 10 person table). I wanted to sit with the people I knew better but... oh well. I guess sitting with different people is a good thing also.

Boring.

I dragged myself up at around 6:30 AM to continue reading The Princess Bride. I give up on it, I'm obviously not gonna finish it by tomorrow. And I have to start my Education assignment now. At 10 I like cooked lunch, and enough food for like 4 meals. So much work in the morning. @.@ At least I don't have to cook tomorrow...

After that, I quickly ate lunch then dragged myself to uni to meet up with Raine, Damien and Nazri. Met Natalie and Max today also. I got some faces for these names now. Chris looked more well then I imagined he would be, and he seemed cheery enough. Guess he lost his depression ('tis good). I was fussing and worrying over what to wear for MANIFEST, and I'll probably just not do anything special. Don't really have the time or money anymore. I only realised AMARANTH and MANIFEST is next week. Time sure flies by. It's already week 8. Holy crap.

Worked on my assignment a bit when I got back, I have like 350 words now. 1750 to go! In the afternoon, some lady phoned me and asked me "What university are you in?" so I'm like "Uhh... Monash, but.. sorry, who are you?" and it turns out she's the lady doing this usability study that I forgot I sent an email about to ask if I could take part. I get a $90 Chaddy voucher apparently. I wonder what I have to do. :P I just realised 10 minutes ago that I lost my invoice for my rent for August. Shit. Now how do I pay for it? Imma better go and ask for another one tomorrow. It should still be in my room somewhere but I can't find it. And lastly, meme. Since Liz tagged me.

Sleepy. Sleepy. Sleepy.

Bleh. Got like 4 and a half hours of sleep today. Since I went to the Nott last night and all. Education tutorial at 10 AM. Did my presentation there without any preparation or notes which I thought was awesome. Hahaha. Okay, it wasn't the best presentation but it was decent still. The presentation/discussion in Education are my favourite. They're always so interesting and for once, I like all the high level ideas being tossed around. In English Lit, it's beyond my head cause I never know about the ideologies and religous analogies being thrown about. EIL isn't really that high level and communication doesn't have much discussion.

Ate lunch with Mitze who phoned. Then I went back to my room and had a nap. 4 PM had media studies tutorial (lecture was cancelled). Umm... yeah. It's been an uneventful day. Was supposed to go to the city with Raine and Jasmine tonight to shop for MCAC trivia prizes or something like that but that was cancelled.

I guess I'll sleep in early to make up for yesterday.
