1st Day of 2nd Year Uni, 2008
:D
The lecturer for one of my Law subjects looks and talks like Voldemort. But he seems like a nice person, amicable and all that. It's just that the very first word that came to my mind when he spoke was Voldemort. It's not that his voice is all evil-sounding and sibilant, it's just that it sounds very gentle, almost faint, as if he's speaking from a great distance. One of the most unique voices I have ever heard.
For first days, today was quite good. Except for the fact that the 207 bus I took had this weird smell, the smell of when people perspire onto the seats and the cushion absorbs all the sweat and gets old. Yeah. Kinda gross right. The key is to NOT think about it. At least it was air-conditioned. Today was SO SO bloody hot, like 32 degrees. Worse than S'pore man. At least tomorrow is gonna be better.
My Net Communications lecture was full of jargon, but it was all very comforting. After months of not doing anything much at all, it feels really good sitting down to a lecture which you don't enjoy (after all, during holidays, all you do is do thing you enjoy) and listening to the lecturer droning on about transcoding and new media and blah blah whatever. I didn't know how much I missed Uni until today. :)
Since this week is only the first week, there were no lab classes for Net Comm, so I hung out with Jess instead. She was walking around trying to look for job vacancies. I should have been doing the same, except that I haven't gotten my work visa done yet. BUGGER. Oh well, sooner or later I'll get one. Hopefully the money will start coming in, haha!
I was expecting my Law lecture to be a total waste of time, as all introductory lectures always are. All they do is go through a summary of the course, what to expect, assessment, guidelines blah blah. But I ended up quite happy to go to today's lecture. Got to meet with Yuqi, Lionel, Sue Ann, Mabel and OMG-I-cant-believe-I-forgot-her-name-she's-so-nice. Everyone lives so close to Uni. I tagged along with Yuqi to get a glimpse of the new apartment she's renting, just a few metres for the Law school. It was small, but very quaint, with a decent balcony view and spiffy toilet, although it wasn't much bigger than the bathroom in my aunt's house. The sink, for instance, was the size of a bowl. Seriously. But other than that, it looks nicer than the other apartments I have looked at. The price is pretty nice as well, about AU$900++ a month. For a room. Oh well, that's the life of people who don't have relatives here. ^^
Oh, I just found out that the really shuai angmo guy who was in one of my Media subjects last semester is also taking one of my Media subjects this semester. Hope we're in the same tute, but it's highly unlikely.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JINGYI WHO TURNS 19 TODAY!!! ^^
(I don't think she'll see this message cuz she doesn't really use the com, so if someone would be so nice as to tell her I said this, I'd really appreciate it. Especially if you are from REEDS and are reading this. :P)
Now if only it would get cooler...
Apple pie tastes weird with chocolate and honeycomb ice cream. But I had no choice. There was no other ice cream flavour in the fridge, and how can ANYONE possibly eat apple pie without eating ice cream???
I HAVE TO WORK HARD THIS SEMESTER.
I WILL TRY TO WORK HARD THIS SEMESTER.
I CAN WORK HARD THIS SEMESTER.
I SHOULD WORK HARD THIS SEMESTER.

Talk is cheap! OMG. Boohoo.
...is what I said. Savvy?
