This sums up my sentiments about starting university:
Yeah.
I like how theres alot of grass covered areas on campus
I’m enjoying the wireless (after about 72.6 hours of “connecting’)
I also like pronouncing ‘The Carillio Gartner Theatre, Asia Center” in an asian accent
But im not really liking much of the other things.
Especially lectures.
and not knowing anybody
and having to run from one side of grattan street to another every thursday afternoon
and lectures
having no ‘uni’ friends
lectures
that girl who stared at me for ages and said “do i know you” and then promptly answered her own question with ‘ew, no’ and walked off
the price of sushi
lectures
and also lectures.
An example of my ability to concentrate in an absolutely riveting lecture:

Carolina, I think I’m in love with you. Post blogs every day. I DEMAND MOAR DRAWINGS AND ANIMATED GIFS!
What I like – This blog entry. It is legendary. Love the way you’ve written it, love the pictures, especially the first. It is rad.
What I don’t like – “that girl who stared at me for ages and said “do i know you” and then promptly answered her own question with ‘ew, no’ and walked off.” This girl is going on my list for future face-punchy. Or at least an equivalent glare…
Heh, one of the most disappointing things about MelbUni being so freaking huge is that you rarely see the same person twice…
(Unless there is some feature about them that you find strange, like the girl who I always see around for some reason. She reminds me of a person I know mixed with a pug. I see her daily. Freaky.)
@Shannon: The “rarely seeing the same person twice” thing has its definite upsides! For instance, I completely stacked it yesterday on a bit of uneven concrete. I know some people stared at me, and my cheeks were burning even several seconds after I had glanced behind me, given the ground a disapproving stare and walked away, but then I realised that I WILL NEVER SEE THOSE PEOPLE AGAIN SO WHO CARES?! 😀
Oh it has its upsides alright. I love anonymity. I love the fact that you can do dumb things and you can ask dumb questions without feeling silly. And you can be obnoxious to obnoxious people, although I’ve only been tempted by this one. In theory it is delightful.
It’s annoying when you actually meet someone you like though, and you forget to ask for their phone/email/name. And then you forget what they look like.
I helped an international student find the chem store (it’s hidden for some reason….) and I never asked for his name. IT’S KILLING ME, DID HE GET THE BOOKS OR NOT?!
That post was amazing!
I know we’re meant to focus on how greatbrightshinyhappyfunfunfun uni is. But as far as I can tell, we’re all feeling a bit… scraped thin. Let us celebrate this fact!
Addendum: I am very glad I’m not the only one who draws giant pictures in lectures instead of proper notes.
I’ve rather taken to writing notes about whatever the lecturer is wearing or implying, and if i can find a double entendre in what they’re saying, so help me i will. perhaps by the end of the semester i shall have a list of all my lecturer’s nervous habits. hooray!
I take note – in green pen – of when students enter, look around confusedly, frown and leave. It happens a lot in Music Psych, because our lecture theatre is listed as having Econometrics in there in Alloc8. It’s *appropriate level of expletive adverb* hilarious!
Yay! Then we can be friends, united by our love of stalking Carolina, and Carolina can be our friend, who HAS NO CHOICE.

I guess I still felt like a douche though.

carolina, your drawings + your user name = awesome. how do you have no friends at uni? i’d happily be your friend…or stalker, either one! 😛
how about a stalky-friend? i can provide! 😛
Hahahaha or alternatively, me and shannon can become friends and stalk you together!
Yay! Then we can be friends, united by our love of stalking Carolina, and Carolina can be our friend, who HAS NO CHOICE.
