Uni
So, I've started going to uni this week and...it's scary! Everyday I get lost in the 100 different buildings and staircases and it's just hell. I know nobody yet so most of my free time is spent sitting on the grassy area, pretending to read when, really, I'm having a perve at everyone behind my sunglasses. *sigh*
My first lesson was German, on Monday, and that is so far my favourite subject. All we did was sit in a circle and sing a song that nobody really knew the meaning of. It was fun and now I know how to say 'I am a foreigner and I don't speak German well.' Haha.
Then yesterday I had my first Film lesson. My God, it's soooo full-on. As soon as I walked into the room, I'm handed a Bolex camera and told to load it with film using only an instruction video that was playing on the big screen for help. I had no idea. And the worst thing is, I get the feeling that everybody in my class know a hell of a lot more about film than I do. And that sucks. Because I've actually been given the opportunity to do something I like and although it's my third day there, I can already see myself falling behind.
Then, this morning was a complete disaster. I woke up at 6:30 on purpose so I can take the 7:30 bus. Anyway, I get to the station and hop on the bus thinking that I'd arrive at uni within the next hour and half. But noooooooo! Traffic started as soon as the bus turned the corner and what was meant to be a 15 minute drive up to the main road turned into, and I'm not joking, it turned into a 2 hour drive. 2 HOURS! I could've walked the distance and I still would've been quicker!
So my first lesson started at 9am but by that time I was still stuck on the bus so I told myself there was no point in going to class. Instead, I stayed on until my stop at 10am, got off, caught a tram down to Southland and walked into Sanity where I was hoping I could pre-order Meds for next week.
I walk up to the shop girl, and I felt so sorry for her because she had to wear this T-Shirt advertising Lee Harding's new album haha, and I ask her to look up Meds on her little computer thing. Anyway, 5 minutes later (I'm not very patient am I?) she tells me there's no listings for it and that she can't find it on the site either. *eyeroll* I felt like shaking my fist at her and explaining that I was on their fucking site 12 hours ago and I saw Meds there but because I'm a nice person I just shrugged and told her it was ok. *sigh again*
So in my shitty state, I stomp into Myer which is this huge department store place, and I find myself wandering around the books section. So I pick one up and I realise it's actually a book I have to buy for one of my subjects so I took it and went home feeling a little better.
And yeah, that's been my day so far. I haven't actually read the book yet because I'm in the middle of reading something else..damn, can't even remember the name but it's pretty good! Full of sex and drama. My kind of thing. Haha.
The end.
