Since my Melb trip last weekend, it's been crazy over here in Syd... I actually brought my books back to Melb to try and study, but didn't manage to do anything really. I did however do my part of my group presentation, so was pretty pleased with myself. But having come back on the Monday, my flight was slightly delayed, I had to grab my car from a friend's place (cause I parked it there before I left and he looked after my car) and then it was either rushing to class at 2pm or going home and sleep. I was sooo tired, I kinda decided to head home to sleep. By the time I got home anyhow, it was already about 1 something, close to 2pm. If I did try to go for class, I'd probably just get there on the dot, so I could have gone... But was so tired, I went home and slept for about 2 hours. Then woke up and started on the Powerpoint presentation for my group project. Thank goodness it wasn't difficult and all the commands on Vista were very similar to the old Windows version. Then at night, I had to catch So You Think You Can Dance. It wasn't the usual So You Think You Can Dance that day - just interviewing the judges and asking what they think about the contestants... I watched it for a while and then just continued on my Powerpoint presentation.
Tuesday, I didn't have anything planned, but continued working on the Powerpoint presentation - 52 slides in total. It was definitely hard work! At night, watched Biggest Loser and It Takes Two.
Wednesday, continued working on the Powerpoint presentation (got the last of my group members notes) and went to class.
Thursday morning was our presentation. AND little did we know that the other groups had planned out their presentation in re-enactment styles, so yeah, theirs were extremely good. Ours ended up to be the crappiest and my group members were quite upset about it, but you know, it's like a learning curve and hopefully they move on from that. My coursemate, Amanda came over to my place. She does four subjects at Macq Uni but only does two subjects with me (the audiology ones). So she wasn't at the presentation one. The presentation subject is actually a Speech Pathology subject but I still have to do it and I don't enjoy it as much as the other two. Anyway, when Amanda came over, she was supposed to do a little bit of study with me, but we ended up looking through pictures and a few movie trailers... This was from 1:15pm till 6 something. Yeah, all that time kinda wasted chatting... Anyway, it was great to catch up with her again. She goes to church as well, not the same one I go to, but somewhere near her place... somewhere near Castlemaine, up north.
Friday (yesterday) - worked from 9am! I was working in the city for the first time in a long while. And as usual the buses were late, but I managed to get there on the dot. I had to wake up early though - 7am to be exact... and surprisingly, it was extremely cold. In fact, it wasn't only at that hour that it was cold, it was cold the entire day! Took the bus and then the train. The trains were crowded and of course, it's always common to see people running for the bus/train. Got off the train at Central and then had to walk about 10 minutes to my workplace which wasn't too bad (the distance) except my shoe broke... One of the straps on my shoe snapped! Grr! It was really tough to walk in them because they kept sliding, and yeah, I had to hobble. Then during my break, I went to this corner shop near my workplace and got a pair of sneakers - they were the only nice ones - but they started giving me blisters and I was like crap! I should get another better pair. It was $20 that pair... a little wasted. But if I didn't get that pair, I wouldn't have made it anywhere else... I could have gone barefooted though... Hmm... but what about nails and spliters... nooo, couldn't handle them. Anywayz, I started scouting for another pair of shoes after getting the dodgy $20 one and wandered to Market City near Chinatown where I found this shop... But instead of getting one pair, I kinda bought two, cause they were really nice pairs. I got those two pairs for only $30! So all in all, I had three pairs of shoes. And if you know me well, I hardly go on a shoe shopping spree!
After work, I went to meet one of my guy friends, Ian, near the train station, so we could go have dinner. Called my other friend, Vijay along. He was working at the other end of the city, but he still met us anyway... he just had to make his way down to Chinatown. Well, while walking with Ian to meet Vijay, my plastic bag with my shoes broke. It so wasn't my day! Found another plastic bag and just transferred everything. Despite those bungles, dinner was good. They brought me to this Korean/Jap place. The food wasn't bad, but I think there's better Korean/Jap around - just need to find it. The place was really crowded though and people booked. Then we walked to Darling Harbour and had desert there. Wanted to go to this Pancake place but the line was just insane, so we just mingled at one of the food courts and had drinks/desert. After that, the guys walked me to my bus stop and I took the bus straight home... There are actually a few other buses I could take from the main city near Chinatown, but where those buses would drop me - I'll basically have to walk about 10 minutes through this dark road near a construction site and it doesn't look very safe. Whereas where the guys walked me to - the bus stop at Darling Harbour - there's this one bus that I can take and it drops me off at the main road right outside my place and it only takes 3 mins walk from that stop to my door... so that's better. But that bus is always, always late. And when we waited, it was 20 mins late!
This weekend - working at SBS (Sat) and Ch 9 (Sun)... Also this weekend, I have to write up my part for my group presentation handout, due next week - Fri, but I have to do it by Wed because I have an online exam on that day and my group is meeting up on that day with their parts done. Please pray for my online exam!! I need to do well. Actually, what I need is the time to study. Doesn't help when I get distracted by Lost shows. I caught a couple of Lost episodes and the content - soooo frustrating! Not up to date yet - I think I have 2 more to watch. Then there's American Idol and a few other movies I'm yet to watch! Can't wait for my mid-sem break in April... It's 2 weeks, but I'm working lots - mainly Tues, Fri, Sat and Sun. First week, I'm gonna catch up on shows and try to study when I can. Second week, it's study all the way during the off days, cause the week straight after the break, I have a Practicum due as well as a Lit Review and a Clinical Observation.
On Sunday, I've invited Vijay and Ben to church, the youth service! I'm slowly recruiting Melburnians here.. haha... Always good to see familiar faces anyhow. Speaking of church, there's this one guy in church who likes moi and he's totally ignoring me! Well, we had quite an intensive talk about a week ago before I left for Melb, and that was the last I ever spoke to him. I just said I don't want to jeopardise our friendship and what my relationship situation was like at that point. Honestly, I'm not too concerned, but I'm certainly not used to being ignored. In fact I hate being ignored! It sucks! Wonder what's it with guys... when they like the girl and know they can't get the girl, they go away and shelter somewhere. And then when they get over it, they try to be your friend again and act all cool like nothing has happened. I know lots of girls would probably act differently if the situation was reversed. Girls and guys just act so differently to things...
