"And yes, different things are different!"
Last week I felt very sophisticated, in going to see the ‘fine arts’ in the city of Melbourne. These fine arts included: a trip to the comedy festival, and going to the VCA symphonic orchestra. I know comedy doesnt exactly count as fine arts, far from it, but its in the city, and you have to buy tickets in advance, so its close enough. 😛 Moving on, I was one of the fortunate ones who saw Charlie Pickering for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. And yes, the title of said blog just happens to be the punch line of one of his hilariously funny jokes (you had to be there). Although we’re not supposed to talk about things not related to uni, this is justified because Farrago recommended seeing him!
The second event, the VCA performance, was fantastique! I went to school with some of the musicians, and knew that they were extremely talented. But seeing so many all together was amazing, I cant get over the fact that they’re my age. Beethoven’s Symphony #5 was particularly incredible. The reason I bring this up is because I’ve found the structure of my life change so much since coming to Uni. I can now actually go out in the middle of the week into the city (since I’m already on swanston street), and enjoy the city nightlife. I actually feel like my life is my own now, not just structured around an education.
On a less philosophical note, does anyone else have slightly eccentric lecturers? I have two that talk about very odd things alot, namely certain plants, and pesticides (if your in these subjetcs you’ll know what I mean). I get that they’re trying to relate the lecture topics to current/ modern events, but sometimes I think they go overboard.
Oh, and just to prove I am a cycling nut, I stayed up very late last night, watching Paris-Roubaix, knowing I had to get up at 5am. I don’t function if im running on less than 8hrs sleep. Like now! For anyone else who follows the cycling, Tom Boonen (who won) was marvelous!
I habe another question I will leave you to ponder… Why is it so impossibly hard to follow through with good intentions, on starting assignments early?
I heard Charlie Pickering was awesome – I’m so jealous!
Well thank heavens the organisers of the tour this year are aware of the hardship of unimelb kids and has fit it perfectly in our mid-year break. In fact, it finishes the day before semester 2 begins. Three weeks of late nights without consequences! now all i need is better SBS reception.
I have just read that team Astana has been excluded from this years tour. Which means Contador, Leipheimer and Kloden will not be racing! What an outrage.
I know!!! Although I’m still not convinced Alberto is not a drug cheat, but Levi is awesum. I must admit though, I’m still struggling with the new team kits, since there has been so many team changes. CSC and Highroad both in white jerseys with black nicks, someone wasn’t thinking!
