"I hope you dance..."

Aaaaahhhh! I did it for the first time. I thought I was late for my 10 AM Education lecture so I ran to uni and then into the theatre but then it was empty.

Me: ……………………………..
Me: AAAAH!! Wait, 10 AM. It’s 10 AM, the class is at 10 on Friday. It should be here. OMFG did everyone move rooms and I wasn’t around to hear this. Why is it deserted?!!
Me: *digs through book to check timetable in case it’s a 2 hour tutorial instead of lecture*
Book: WEEK 8 – NO CLASSES (currently it is week 8)
Me: …………………………….

So I paid my rental bills and bought ‘The Thief Lord’ for next week’s English lecture/tutorial but I doubt I will find the time to read it. And dragged myself back home since media lecture is at 2.

Got my first media essay back. A C. Bleh. I’m kind of disappointed, although I should be happy getting a credit considering media is like my worse subject and like the only subject where I don’t do any readings and I never listen in lectures. Forgot to mention that I got a D for my first English lit essay. Which is really good. It kind of reassures me that my English critique and writing ability is on a good enough level that I can survive to be an English literature major. I was really worried about that before coming here. I was a bit nervous for this essay also because I applied all the standard literary critique techniques as usual but I wasn’t sure whether it would work considering this is a fantasy unit. And fantasy is just a bit different from say, Shakespeare. Gotta do better on my next media essay (due right after MANIFEST, yes I don’t think I’m gonna do well….)

When I got back from my 5 AM tutorial, everyone in Roberts was dressed all nice and stuff. Since today is the Roberts ball. I didn’t go because I don’t have enough friends in Roberts that I would care to go to the ball (and all my Roberts friends aren’t going anyway besides a few). Yeah, that and I have AMARANTH for next Thursday already, I don’t want to go to anymore balls. They aren’t exactly cheap. But yeah, before everyone left they took the Roberts Hall annual photo in the common room, so I quickly dressed up in like 10 minutes just to get that photo. It was kind of funny.

After that, ran back to my room and changed again to go to the OCF (Overseas Christian Fellowship) event. Went there with Amanda, Jia Chi, Sharon, Stan and Jonathan. Saw Izzzati, Ieja and co. who were going to Roberts Hall for a BBQ (yeah, I saw their group setting up during the photo shoot). The OCT thing was a musical drama sort of thing with free food and stuff. It was pretty amusing and I liked the dancing and music, and the story of the musical did have some good values represented there. I felt a bit iffy during the service but it wasn’t really a big deal. Yeah, most of the gang was there (Tsan, Mitze, Han Lin, Winston, Nicholas, V, Jean and etc). It was a pretty funny night. V’s sexuality is now in question, hahaha (his reputation is sky plummeting). I ran into Sarah Chhan there, which was kind of surprising. I have never met up with her in Melbourne actually. I was a bit surprised she messaged me all of a sudden asking whether I was at OCF.

Our group! Photo taken by Stan. From the left is Jean Marc, Mitze, umm.. person I dunno, Tsan, Nicholas, Han Lin, V, Jia Chi, Amanda and me!


Funny face~

And it seems we are going to St. Kilda on Sunday! Yay, with our happy lil’ group. Looking forward to it. This means that I MUST finish my Education assignment by tomorrow or I’ll have to pull all-nighters. As it is 50% and due on Monday. I’ll just go out in the morning at 9 AM to Brandon Park for this week’s share of food (gotta remember not to buy much considering I won’t be around on this Sunday, next Thursday, maybe Friday, Saturday and Sunday) then spend the rest of tomorrow at home. Should be fine, I got half of it done (without editing of course, I’ll need to leave Monday for editing).

The boring Sunday.

Eh, I'm as soar as hell today. Guess the muscle fatigue from yesterday finally caught up to me? This is what happens when I drag fairly heavy skis up a snowy hill. I woke up at like 7:30 and went to Clayton shops at 9 past. Bought a lot and stuff so I have something to cook for the week. It was extremely painful after I got onto the bus and had to drag myself back to my room. Everything was just too heavy for me.

Anyway, a short entry since today was pretty uneventful. After buying food I didn't want to do anything else. Just spent the day online and doing a bit of work. That is, preparing for the lesson I have to help run on Tuesday at the primary school and my personal reflection thingy for the presentation I did with Raine in week 5 (around 2 weeks ago, since we're on week 7 now). Gotta finish the reflection, write the presentation for English Litarature (on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), write my speech for MCAC committee elections and another presentation for Education on my primary school placement. Pretty busy week even without assignments.

Oh and my thesis for EIL worth 5% I got a credit. I'm pretty disappointed. This is the first time I got a C for anything in EIL. My grades have plummeted as I mess around and waste time cooking this semester. Eh, I need to get used to it. Other people are perfectly happy with a C.

The usual Sunday?

Yay, I've finished my first English Lit Fantasy assignment! I kind of regret not doing creative writing (seems everyone else I asked did that) but oh well, I hope I will pass. Well, no. I hope I will get a D. I don't want no measly pass. The nerd comes out in me as I still want D's despite getting no benefit from high grades at this age (besides getting into honours). But a credit will suffice for that.

And yeah, I got my results for my first EIL1020 assignment. It was a D. The greater nerd in me was sort of disappointed because I wanted an HD, you know. Oh right and I'll probably post my grades all the time here even though this blog is public. I never understand some people's fierce resentment in other people knowing their good or bad grades. I don't get why there's this embarrassment. Cause you know, the people you're more likely to be embarrassed from (your friends) are the least likely to judge you because of you're grades, right? Everyone else (who may be more judgmental) can be eaten by a thousand cockroaches for all I care.


Anyway, a summary of my day. Woke up at around 7-ish, and spent most of the day working on my assignment (well that and just surfing the net). I wanted to do my laundry (didn't do it for over 2 weeks) and then I discovered that like... out of the 6 washing machines at Roberts Hall 4 of them was broken. 2 machines isn't enough for over a hundred people. No way in hell it is. Me and another friend of mine who was up early washing his clothes as well was annoyed I think. He stood around quite a bit waiting to get his laundry done. I ran back upstairs while waiting to get post-it notes. I wrote "Broken T___T" on them and stuck them on since people couldn't tell that the machines were broken until they tried to turn it on. It wasted so much of my time taking my clothes in and out of the machines since I wasn't intelligent enough to see if any water would come out of the machine first.

I ate yesterday's dinner for today also. So when I went downstairs to microwave my food with Rachel, guess what did I discover? Out of the 5 microwaves at the Roberts Hall kitchen, 4 of them were broken! 1 microwave IS NOT enough. So we waited ages. By the time Rachel got her thing heated up mine went cold again. But yeah, whatever. Ugh. Least got to talk to Nazri and a few others downstairs. Anyway, I just finished my assignment and passed it on to Rachel since I probably can't hand it in tomorrow due to my placement (well I might be able to, but I won't risk it, if I miss the bus to get back I'll be delayed until I miss the deadline).

Now to work on my proposal of what I would like to do with Debbie for our chance to teach the kids for 45 minutes. I want to do this mind challenge/riddle kind of thing.
