~Well. I AM ON MY BREAK NOW! Yay. :)
Now that's out of the way let's move on to the topics for today's post.
~So if you read my last post? You'd know I had a presentation speech to give today and I was a little unprepared, I stayed up a little doing readying it because I knew I could sleep in a bit, but I still was stressing out this morning. I don't like speeches/talks I get all nervous and tongue-tied. I was at the train station and I see a Police car drive passed. I am then taking out my notes because I am beginning to freak out that I'll fail (though I know I shouldn't even if I only stuck mildly to the topic), and a police officer walks into the covered seating area looks at the other two occupants (a female a little older than me brown hair, a male grey hair skinny early 40s perhaps) takes one look at me and heads for me. I thought perhaps I shouldn't have made eye contact but maybe they are doing knife/gun inspection/searches or something related to train safety? She basically starts accusing and questioning me for stealing (more taking) something that someone left near the ticket machines and asks for I.D, when do I take the train, where do I live, name, etc etc. I was freaking out, actually I was more shocked. I mean I've never been questioned by police even as a witness, and here I was being a SUSPECT.
Talk about getting me in an even worse state to have my presentation, I was shaking from wrecked nerves. I thought she was going to ask me to follow her back to the car and to the station. Seriously, she didn't smile or seem like I was saying the truth or anything. So surreal!
~I managed to get through my presentation, it wasn't the best it could have been I know. But not the worst one that's been I guess. The thing that bugged me was our tutor didn't tell us that there was another girl who chose the same topic as me. But thankfully we did slightly different takes. I should have talked a bit more about common sense rather than scientific knowledge but oh well. Also, there were members of my class that liked/were provoked by my questions and line of thoughts as well as the tutor (always a nice sign). He also liked how I took a little shot at Twilight *sniggers* (Just so you know I don't personally hate it but thought it was good material. Fact. Vampires don't sparkle. Okay I relent even Twilight it subjective and cannot be measure by scientific means -that's my paraphrased version of what I said.) Plus, two people complemented or at least tried to make me feel better that I did okay. I know my mouth dried up at times and I stumbled over my places but I didn't focus on how horrible I was being a quick 'sorry' or deep breath and back to the speech! So, I felt a lot better after it was over.
~I was stupid later today went to the library (got my manga hold and another Dexter transfer yay) but then went to ask about referrals again and chickened out. I have gone three times now, twice I think the people I wanted to see weren't there. But today I was 80% sure it was him...I highly doubt I'm going to cold call him up. And I defintely can't do that for the other however much I wish to. And its unlikley I'll rock on up to the working bee on Sunday...when the application is due...fail, I so wanted want to apply...I guess I could without referrals but I'd have even less to go on...
~Tonight after all that jazz, I went to my friends house for her birthday. I thought I was late but got there just as C was turning up and we were basically the first there! It ended up being awesome and i was wishing I could stay the night, but I left when dad came. It looks like I'll msg C tomorrow and we'll hopefully go see Sorcerer's Apprentice and hang around till her work and my dinner with other friends. I had my first full drink of alcohol (its was mixed Vodka coke) tonight, I've tasted numerous others and who knows how many times I've been told or offered drinks but don't know why I didn't till now. Yep. Stepping stones. *laughs*
~I'm quite tired. Think I'll glance at the flist and head off. *waves to whomever bothered to click and read all of this* If you'll leave a comment below (doesn't even need to say anything or you're username only in the body?) I'll think of something to say to you which uses more than one sentence. You might get random, you might get a mini fic who knows! It'll be a surprise present* for reading. :P
*Reserves right to give present that you might not enjoy due to craziness.
lemon_lovely have a happy birthday! ♥
LOL. Endeavour Hills? WTH? How far off can you get?? I thought you were usually pretty correct you were at uni the first time...weird.
Also. Icon of Bernard with icy pole wine is spot on for this post - Contemplation + Alcohol.
