Did I mention that I'm home in Australia?

:)

It's great, but weird. For the first few days I had a very heavy sense of dislocation, of being out of time somehow -- even though nothing had changed. My family met me off the plane, and they all look the same. I look the same (although my hair's grown a little bit!). For the most part, the City ( Read more... )

Oh, why couldn't they have had an Atlantis theme for the PostGrad Ball LAST year??!! I'm no Greek Goddess, but I reckon I would've gone... despite that price tag! =D

I'm watching 21 Up Japan and some of the things these guys and girls say, the things they talk about, are really profound. It makes me jealous and at the same time, I realise that they haven't thought this out, they don't plan it. But someone asks them to sit down and answer questions for them, to record the answers. And they take the time to ( Read more... )

As of 3.30pm Thursday 22/11/07, I am officially finished. Yesterday I went back to uni, handed in my final essay (a little later than planned) and returned all my library books. Provided that I don't fail any of my essays, I'm done.

It's kind of scary. I have absolutely no idea what to do with myself.

One more paper due in. Writing it now. Should be done at 4pm, to be printed off and handed in by 5.

I hope.

Sleep deprivation, no matter how mild, short-lived or self-inflicted, is not fun.

... I can't wait until these bloody essays are done and I can SLEEP.

Sometimes I think I should take up smoking or something, just so I have a really good excuse to get up when I've got writer's block and go outside for a few minutes to clear my head.

As it stands, I just feel like an idiot and get bored.

sigh.

*gets back to English essay*

... Just In Time (management), that is! =D

You know you've spent too long at uni when you can estimate how long it's going to take you to do an assignment, and you procrastinate until there is exactly that amount of time left, then you do the assignment and post it on the tutorial forum 2 minutes before it's due ( Read more... )

It suddenly strikes me that far too many public figures - sportspeople and actors/performers in particular - have difficulty forming coherent and well-structured sentences when making press statements, or when doing interviews ( Read more... )

The Guild, as theatres go, is not that big. "Imagine a black box..." with a roof about six metres high. Not that tall, right? Yet I've never really had the nerve (nor the excuse) to get up to the roof and do any sort of rigging for any of the productions I've worked on. In the past I've been pretty content to let other people (namely those who ( Read more... )
