Questions. [ASH]
Why am I getting progressively more and more tired this week?
You live an hour and a half away from the city, you wake up like 3 hours before the lecture. And .. Connex.
Why is there no reception at Union House?
There’s probably lead in the walls or something.
What do those cubey things in The Basement at The Spot actually do?
I dunno, but they remind of some sort of outer space playground.
And why are there leaks in the brand new theatre?
Mistakes, everyone makes mistakes.
Why is it so friggin’ cold?
Its autumn.
Yeah, so those are some of the thousands of the questions that I’ve been brimming with.
On top of that, I also wonder how one of my lecturers expects me to get from the Copland Theatre all the way across like.. two roads, to the Law Building in just under 5 minutes with a 3kg bag, and the distractions of seeing the really good looking people on the way, as well as trying to sort out a friend to sit with.
Short of that, I also realised that the days of summer were extremely short for me (in Australia) due to spending summer in Singapore. I got no chance to wear any summer gear in Oz, instead we’re suddenly onto cold weather and I’m whipping out a 2kg, thick jacket that helps me brave the mighty cold winds and erratic downpours.
So now I have to sprint my ass off, with a 3kg bag, 2kg jacket, 66kg of body weight (yeah I actually spent 20c to weigh myself at the Uhouse Chemist. Seems that I’ve gained 4kg over the past 2 months. Thank youuuu Singapore and your cheap food), slippery ground, the traffic lights of Grattan Street, and all the other distractions previously mentioned.
Hope you’re all having a great time!
And for the 80 odd students who rocked up super late to the ARA lecture today, great prank guys.
Wait.. it was a prank right.. ?
Truly yours,
ASH!
… or everyone just misread their timetables. collectively. hmm does that sound credible ?
melbourne weather. typical. but the rain is welcome. bushfires ceasing yay !
Hi, I was one of the 80-odd. JOIN THE DARK SIDE.
3kg bag?? Ouch.. I carry sunglasses and a pen most of the time lol. You could get a locker in union house so you don’t always have to carry so much?
okay, knowing me maybe it was an exaggeration natty, but a macbook pro is (the old generation we’re talking about. not those sexy new slim, envirofriendly super expensive ones) a little heavy .. and those lockers are 50 bucks!
Being asian, financial conservatism is in the blood!
But I’m not complaining..
Much.
Cenvii, I too share the appreciation of anti-bushfire weather. I don’t think anyone can handle any more casualties/fatalities or losing of homes.. I know I couldn’t
Haha.. Finanacial Conservatism sounds uber-sophisticated.
ahhh ash you have a pro =P i’ve got the late-2007 polycarbonate macbook, and now i’m looking at the unibody one… please do not throw rocks at me. [ runnnnns ]
yeh… so i (almost, not quite) know the pain of lugging a macbook pro around. but i’ve probably overcome the “almost, not quite” bit by chucking in whichever book i’m reading atm plus a whole heap of other random stuff into my bag too…
3kg bags are hefty, but also good for bludgeoning Connex employees after four trains have been cancelled.
