My calculator just died. I'd been watching it over the past few days, as it had been misbehaving a little, but I think it's finally reached the clearing at the end of the path. It's a bit inconvenient, but I'm counting my blessings. It could easily have chosen to die on Monday morning, right in the middle of my Psych exam. I would have been ( Read more... )

This is just about the coolest thing ever.

The best thing about my Cinema Studies essay this semester is that I get to spend time searching for clips, images and links to use in my "essay-formatted blog". So basically, I'm doing what I normally do, but it counts towards my grades. :)

Blegh. I feel sick. I think the best word to describe exactly how I feel right now is feverish. I can feel my temperature going up and down, and I keep alternating between having chills and being too warm. Whatever this virus is, it came on really fast. The first sign I had that something wasn't right was a sore throat last night, and now bang! I'm ( Read more... )

Oh, PC, how Ilove you. But not as much as my beautiful Mac, which is now safely back in my care. You really don't realise how much you rely on your computer until you're separated from it. I felt like an anxious parent, calling the shop everyday to see how it was. But it's back, and healthy again, and so I'm happy ( Read more... )

It's absolutely bucketing down. The sky is a deep, dark grey, and I can hear thunder in the distance. For some reason, thunder sounds different in Melbourne than it does in Shepparton. I love this type of weather - well, I love it when I'm inside. I'm very, very lucky that I'm not still in the middle of Royal Park counting mudlarks for my Ecology ( Read more... )

It was a really hot night last night, and so naturally I slept horribly. At college my room doesn't really have a window - just a door that opens out onto the communal balcony that runs around the building. You can leave it ajar and still keep it locked, but that doesn't allow for a lot of air flow. Last night was so bad that I got up (at 3:30, my ( Read more... )

My Cultural Studies subject for this semester - Popular Culture - sounds like it's going to be really interesting, and I'm looking forward to it. However, I'm having some serious problems getting through the reading for this week. Because it's the first week, everything is introductory, so there's lots of stuff about different definitions of the ( Read more... )

The essays are in! YATTA! Now I have a whole year of Arts at Melbourne Uni under my belt. I hate handing them in though - I'm always so nervous, double checking that my pages are in the right order and panicking that I've forgotten to do things like sign the plagarism declaration. I've been pretty lucky with my essays this semester though. I mean, ( Read more... )

Some things that I've learnt throughout Swot Vac:

It is impossible for me to write anything under the word limit. I just can't do it.

I could talk about Doctor Who for decades.

Words that start with 'M' appeal to me at the moment. Like Mobby. Or Monsterface.

I only watch Heroes for the slash ( Read more... )
