It has been decided...
[mood| 
sleepy]
[music| Orange Range - Locolotion]
...that i will be having my teaching prac at Carrick Institute of Education instead! I'll be starting on Monday at.....EIGHT IN THE BLOODY MORNING! -_-lll But anyway, I'm not complaining though (abt the place anyway...) coz i went to the place today. It's in the city, around 15 minutes walk from my place, and it's pretty nice! Everyone was nice and friendly too! It's a really new place. They have campuses in Brisbane and Sydney but their Adelaide campus has only been up for like...2 months...o_O In addition to teaching English (to young adults planning to go into uni, or taking IELTS) they do vocational courses too, and they even offer a few business degrees, so it'll be an interesting place to have my prac at. They do have a dress code though..-_-lll So....sigh...well, it's funny, coz Tina, the woman in charge of my prac said 'You're allowed to look cute, just not too casual' when i mentioned the only slightly appropriate shoes i have are my pink ballet flats and a pair of black heels with polka dots and lace....o(≧∇≦)o I have enough formal-ish tops, but it looks like i'll have to go shop for some dress pants and skirts...-_-lll I'm really really nervous though, coz i really don't know what to do! orz I've been reading up all these theories on how to teach in my course so far, but i've never actually seen them in action, so it's pretty scary! I'm also a bit concerned abt them being so new coz to be honest Tina didn't know what i was expected to do in my prac as no one has told her any particulars yet (i tell you my course is extremely disorganized...i had to keep myself from telling Tina that since i signed a contract saying i wouldn't bad-mouth the uni to outsiders...-_-lll Oh oops, sorry did i just say that?), but i guess the good thing abt the place being so new is that if i DO do a good job, i have a pretty good chance of getting employed there! So, fingers crossed!!!! (o^-')b
Anyway, here're some pics of 2 Saturdays ago when we had yakiniku and went drinking. (ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Momoyo looks genuinely angry...i love her expression! It's like...RAWWRR I WILL BITE YOUR HEAD OFF!o(≧∇≦)o
Jason, Ino and Todd.
Momoyo, Leo and Jason the stalker...o_O
....I don't think this pic needs a description at all....
Me and James...of course...(*´∀｀*)
I love this pic!!! ヽ(´▽`)ノ
I think certain ppl in my group enjoy seeing ppl in pain...
Kwok and Yuki being serious..somewhat...
Another group-ish pic. (o^-')b
I have NO idea why Momoyo looks so grumpy...o_O
This was taken at Cumberland by Wing. I was absolutely drunk in this pic....^^;; How good am i at hiding it? (ﾟ∀ﾟ) I don't even remember Wing taking this until she showed me...^^;;
Will go out again this Saturday coz it's Jason's birthday. We're going to have dinner, then ice-skating, then karaoke! Can't wait! ヽ(´▽`)ノ
Anyway, watched District 9 yesterday, and i really really really liked it! I really didn't expect it to be this erm...gory, but i guess it fits into the film pretty well? (ﾟ∀ﾟ) I think we all got really annoyed with Wikus at the beginning though i think in the end they made a good job of showing how he redeemed himself. And i can't help but feel really really sorry for the aliens. The ending was really sad, but it was for the best i guess? It did leave it very open so maybe they were hoping to make a sequel. I really hope they don't though, as this by itself is absolutely perfect! It's like one of those films that absolutely should be left alone, like...erm...Sin City! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Also, i've decided not to take JLPT this year afterall, since i'm gonna go back to Malaysia for a month at the end of the year, and i wouldn't have time to attend the classes and stuff. Oh well, next year i guess! ^^;;
Anyway, time to sleep! Tata!
