The oh so cruel Week 6 upcoming.

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

I really should be working on my essay rather than procrastinating.

But I am just going to dieeee next week. Although this could be remedied if I got a move on with that essay.

Hm. But the essay’s a hard task even if the topic is on the potentialities [although potentialities? what about positive aspects as a synonym? potentialities makes it seem like it hasn't already happened!] and limitations of the internet as a form of global communication. This is of course from a politics and international relations aspect. Hm. Hm.
Ponderous.

So yes. 5 assignments where 2 are especially hard hitting.
Accounting. Which I need to improve on so badly. Least I’ve made these really neat notes. But I need to read the textbook and redo some exercises. [or all of them!]
Politics. Which has not been assessed yet. But ugh. 2500 word essay T__T is so for the lose.

Legal. I think the tutor hates me because I don’t seem to pay attention. [I DO do my homework!!]
Psych exam. Well.. um. I haven’t actually studied anything short of writing my lecture notes. JUST doing that didn’t reeeally work. And I haven’t read the textbook yet. Gulp There’s still time. But time is all dependent on how fast I get through that dreadful essay.
Psych group task. Group work. Ew. I don’t feel like putting in effort any longer when I’m the only one doing so. See how they all fare without me. >_>

So anyway, here’s an amusing snapshot of where the false door knocked over the school of English, media [well.. I think it's media. can't say I know for sure even though I am doing an Arts degree.] and performing arts sign in the Webster building of UNSW. It was particularly funny because the door was being wheeled in on a tray and it knocks over at the point where the green exit sign is actually blinking.

You could say… no exit from performing arts =P Which might fit the dramaticisms I suppose.
no exit But might I say.. really cool door? The back was awesome too though I didn’t get a snap before the people came back to fix the sign.

… and I only took this picture because I was dared to. That tis all. Anything questionable shall be left to imagination. :x
um.. no exit. really. After all.. no exit. Really. Don’t try to climb over =P

Kites fluttering in the sky

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Kites fluttering in the sky;
escaping away,
to the land of butterflies.
kite Okay.
Maybe not.
Just imagine kites flying around in this weather. I think it would be more likely to lead to electrocution and sopping sinking rain rather than anything more substantial.

However, I did run into someone with this really scary mask walking around uni. o.O And what is with the hawaiian flowers? ?_? Joy to be lostified. Does make the place more colourful though.

Speaking of colour sparking, closing ceremony of the Olympics. Hm. The music wasn’t so bad.
That is all.

Calming down as academia rises.

Friday, August 22nd, 2008




Point of this piece which I did in facebook graffiti? Well.. although apparently it looks like a death due to a closet full of fantasy and sci-fi according to someone. haha. … it’s actually more about the death of literature starting off with Stephanie Meyer’s p.o.s. saga. jks. Well not about my thoughts on Twilight because “His skin literally sparkled, like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface. He lay perfectly still in the grass, his shirt open over his sculpted, incandescent chest, his scintillating arms bare.”C’mon, a chest like a light bulb, and a dull one at that? Scintillating/sparking arms? Um…

Right. So anyway, this is a look from beyond time [but not quite space. You could call it a glass observatory-like space station I guess.] And there’s a pool of blood in the corner just because. Perhaps it’s overwhelming sci-fi with a battle to the death and the body’s fallen out into space beyond the glass doors, and there’s a water dragon on earth that looks pretty bad and satellites fighting amid space, and a meteor’s heading on the way and there’s an aurora borealis of some sort because space dust makes things so much more colourful.

In other words? A very random piece in facebook graffiti. nod
But tell me what you interpret from it.

Just a little something I did in my break today because I was rather sick of studying. Actually, my motivation to study was at an all time low last week which is probably why I almost flunked my accounting test. :x

Anyway, this week has been much more peaceful compared to the past few weeks. I think I feel that way because I actually got Tuesday off! [which is meant to be usual,but I actually went to university the past few weeks anyway and that just...sucked.]

Okay, let’s see, Wednesday. A lovely day. Though it really started off so messed up and shows that waking up late and being in a rush and being forgetful [we're learning about memory in psychology! ...but not yet on how to remember well =(] is rather messed.
Hm. I saw a girl in a giraffe suit that day. Quite odd.
I heard the sounds of a ringtone-toddler berating the person who had that ringtone in chinese. Rather odd.
And of course, the not-so-odd but ever irritating late train.

The epic phailz of the aptly nicknamed, “Sh!ttyrail”
Not only did I miss the train before it [which was also late, so yes.. I was early By 10 mins actually. [though usually I am, but was running late on my terms anyway.] Had I ran, I could have caught it. But just tad seconds too late =( gets on the platform, watching the train move away] which would have probably gotten me to uni on time.
This late train? Well..let’s just say, if it were a normal day and I waited 30 more mins, I could have gotten to uni at the same time. :x
Not only did this train stop at stops that so make it a slow train, it stopped at stops that aren’t on the line I’m on – for example [CLYDE?!, flemington, HOMEBUSH?, croydon] =_=” They stopped at lidcombe to switch drivers, and between ashfield and redfern, apparently there was a person walking on the tracks [could I bitterly say they deserve to get run over? After all, they're not meant to be there and if one is to use the drunken excuse, it's 11am in the morning! =_=''] so there was a long pause there too. What else.. well. I forgot to bring something rather important that day. Mhm. Oh and I was almost late for my lecture. Which is a wtf, because with my usual time I usually have almost an hour before the lecture.

Moral of the story: I’m definitely going to come early when I have tutorials. Goodness knows what would happen if I were on the latest train I could quite possibly catch. T_T

Some ending thoughts:
Globalisation. Hm. Does the internet counteract or cause uneven development? Is it really a product of western imperialism? I mean, html requires english characters although overall, there are more sites not in English than there are in nowadays.
