It's the end of the week (Daniel)
Hoorah! For making it through the first week of uni. Gargh! at present time (10:08pm) and subsequent tiredness.
Which will be my main sticking point for this post. University makes you pretty tired…. And I’m an Art’s student! So either through a weak constitution or (more likely) working too hard/ running around a lot. It’s addictive! and lethal!
Like exclamation marks! Anyway life at uni is surprisingly free, but with that freedom comes the invitable overdoing of some things. In my case working (for uni stuff)/going out every day has lead to this path of tiredness. Which is fun, but draining. Thus leaving this post kinda scampy.
However I will coment on the week nevertheless! First of all people do not like talking/being out there in tutorials. Which is kinda fair, but from my experience of uni as a welcoming place I thought that everyone would feel right at home going for answers. Instead of being afraid to get the answer wrong. I’m probably having my expectations high but I was hoping for a couple of gung ho discussions of sorts and unique personalities. Not timid sheep.
Secondly carring on from the first not many people like to contribute to class much or volunteer to do things, like to do the first creative writing piece for the class or be a student rep for a lecture. Nup no one wants to get up there and make the most of things. You do have 3 years to do something at uni, but come on guys Carpe Diem a bit. Reality’s only what you make of it, so make it. Etc about making your own decisions. University is only going to be awesome as you make it, so make it.
Ok, nough said bout that. Ummm people aren’t always as friendly as they appear, they’re people like everywhere else (but marginally friendlier than everywhere else). Sooo, they can dissapoint and surprise you in weird ways. For example people in an Infomatics lecture made themselves known to me (I’ve mostly made an effort to say hi so it was great to see people making an effort). Dissapoint….. is really little things, people in Melbourne aren’t demigods of knowledge and social politeness.
So there we go my token to the week in my need to go to sleep/eat/bathroom state of getting the blog done.

Dan even in your sleep/eat/bathroom state.. you made a pretty inspiring statement…”University is only going to be awesome as you make it, so make it.”… Alteast inspring to me =)
Oh thanks Ankitan, I forget I have to reply and check back on these posts (I’m too used to writing in a forgotten journal). So sorry for delays.
That line was pretty much subconcious for me (at the time) but was probably a driving force throughout my highschool years. You just get sick of people complaining or getting themselves stuck within a rut and not being able to “get out.” This year’s probably one of the best years to start getting out there to do things you want to do.
That being said I need to figure out those exact wants…..
Oh well enjoy blogging and Uni!
Thanks for the comment!
