Take 2

Have any of you ever tried a melted chocolate muffin from Romano’s? (Just outside the ERC). They…. are…. AMAZING! They make studying for 8 plus hours in the same EXACT place slightly more tolerable.

I’m referring, of course, to the French film I had to edit yesterday. Myself and my group filmed it on Monday and I spent the better part of yesterday (10AM-6:15PM) editing out bloopers, making flashbacks, and loads more fun stuff…. *cough* My group partners were less then useful. One did a lot of work, and so I took no offence that she didn’t help me edit but the other two seemed content to ride on our coattails. I figured I should just suck it up and do it; if not for them then for myself. I need good grades if I’m going to transfer courses.

It’s another miserable (read: amazing) day in Melbourne. I’ve grown to love Melbourne’s moodiness, you never know what to expect. I find dressing in layers much more comfortable than wearing shorts and…….*shudder* thongs.

As of exactly 20 minutes ago, I finished my last piece of assessment before exams and I couldn’t be more excited/happy/nervous. I was using this film as an excuse to avoid all of my other work, now what excuse can I use….? I can’t complain too much though, my exam timetable is probably the best I’ve ever had. One on the 7th, one on the 14th, and one on the 24th. I have at least 7 days break between each exam! That also means that I finish on the last day of the exam period.

I’ve called this take 2 because I wrote this blog post already but my computer decided to crash. On a side note, my work has officially closed its doors today so I am now out of work. I’m supposed to be going to Sydney for a week on the 26th of June…. We’ll see if this happens. I’m staying with my family so there are no accommodation costs but what’s the point of going away if you have no expendable income?

Don’t be too stressed during SWOT VAC and remember to stop and have some fun.

P.S. The Oxfam group I started with a few other people from Melbourne Uni, had its IGM (Inaugural General Meeting) last week which means….. WE’RE AN OFFICIAL AND RECOGNISED GROUP! It’s exciting times, people.
