Wondering

Given how unauthorative my Film tutor is, tomorrow I'll be sitting in on another tutorial to see whether or not it's my tutor's distinct lack of "presence" or if it's something inherently in me making me want to drop this particular subject.  Then again, I never was particularly functional at 9 am.

Monday 5 March 2012

I skipped two lectures today! (Not because I didn't feel like going).

I'm a part of many social clubs here at the university which I attend, and one of those groups is a Japanese-related culture group, and today, students from Kyoto University, who are here for two weeks studying English, came to be shown around campus, after which we went into the city.

The previous paragraph was certainly a long sentence!  (No, I'm not going to edit it ... well not much, anyway).

Anyway, I made the choice to help out with part of the tour (and later, Sydney sight seeing) instead of go to lectures (which I can catch up on later on my page on the university's website).

We finished the day up with a trip to French Riviera (Here's a blog about it: http://grabyourfork.blogspot.com.au/2008/01/french-riviera-sydney.html) eating a rather tall ice cream, of which I didn't particularly like the flavouring (It's hard to describe, but the flavouring of this ice cream was somehow to different to your average, run-of-the-mill ice cream)

I think some of the others may have gone off and done other things after that, but I for one came straight home (because I'm like that).

Tomorrow, the first film from Introduction to Film (I know not yet what it is, but I'll tell you tomorrow).

My homework for this week.

Well, I have to read the first 22 pages of "Cognitive Psychology" for Educational Psychology, and some poems for English, but I'm not sure when I'm meant to start reading The Tiger's Wife, and I'm not 100% sure what I'm supposed to do for Linguistics ~ I think I log onto my page on the universities website "Blackboard" and it tells me there somewhere ...

Looks like I have to buy the latest edition of the text book for Linguistics, because apparently some chapters ~ a whole two of them ~ have been "extensively revised".  Do you think it's a coincidence that the two "extensively revised" chapters are the ones that we'll be using the most?

Fuck!

Everybody go watch this:
