I find it so strange that my best friend's sister is having a baby today. They're actually planning it's date of birth. I mean, it's a necessity because of the birth conditions or something, but I still find it strange that something so natural can be so intricately planned as well. I just hope everything goes well. This birth reminds me of my dad' ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about this whole "thank you for sharing" thing that we discussed momentarily in tutorials. It made me think of being in year one, when we had these story books that we would write a one-page story in every week. Mostly, they were just crappy little recounts of our weekends or whatever. Mine consisted mostly of things about ( Read more... )

late!post is late, and to be completely honest I don't have any reason other than I am really really lazy.

This week I want to go 'abandon ship' on responding to any sort of reading we've been doing. I just, no. Can't do it. Sorry. Completely over analysing and critiquing and everything after doing that goddamn essay.

Basically, I'm just going to use ( Read more... )

In an effort to do what the poems of this week have been encouraging us, I took a walk the other day without my headphones in. It was only from work to home, but I really did notice all these things I never have before. For instance, there's this tree in a reserve somewhere that has branches like spirals, but there are so many ants on the concrete ( Read more... )

 And what a motherpost it will be.
First of all, I love The Man From Mars. I love it endlessly.
The way in which Christine's self esteem has been somewhat neglected until this foreigner comes and starts stalking her, it reminds me of American Beauty. You know, Jane's character? And how when Ricky Fitz starts being all creepy and business, she ( Read more... )

When we did the questions on artworks in our lecture on Wednesday, I chose to do Mother and Child with Dogs Vomiting because I'm immature and wanted to write a poem with that title. It turned out getting a little more personal than I'd like to post on my LJ, but whatever. We're all here to learn.

First off, here's my comment for this week, made to lizkaras.

Hi Liz! When you read this out in the lecture I really enjoyed it, but reading it, I can actually let it sink in, and of course point out what I like most!
She smiled, whispered softly
"You are too much like me."
This is by far my favourite part. I ( Read more... )

Dear Lord, is it seriously week three already?
I come to you with stress, for next week annotations are due and I still have no book! So I'm praying that the text book will be available for rent in the library, otherwise I might die.

So, this week I'm going to post something creative. Oh dear. It's not so much a creative piece as it is a recollection ( Read more... )

Today we are all attending our second Literature lecture, and today will be my second tutorial. I didn't realise university was such serious business! I've checked out other LiveJournals, and people are well into posting such intellectual and insightful entries, and commenting each other as well. It's insane. I'm so intimidated by what some of ( Read more... )

So, introductory post is go. I'm Brianna, eighteen years old, from around Penrith. I graduted last year from Caroline Chisholm, and I work at Donut King in Glenmore Park. These facts are all boring.

Some things that're hopefully a bit more interesting;
- thanks to this course, I now have three LiveJournal accounts. THREE! How does this even happen?
- ( Read more... )
