Eh these few consecutive weeks has been so screwed up on so many lvls. Hm when was my last post? Oh right.
Well I went out last weekend with Pasky, Vong and Liv, jsut going out, chilling and some drinks. Had dinner at Amici's, which they lost our booking but got us a nice secluded table anyway. Maybe too secluded cos we couldn't find a waiter, but the food there was entirely awesome! Living alone made me cut down on food a lot, especially dinner, so lately I've been eating a lot less than I've been able to before. Maaaybbbee not such a good thing, but then again, maybe it is o.O
Afterwards we bused to the casino (Liv and I complaining about our shoes the whole way). The Brisbane casino is nice, but then again, so plain compared to other cities. And it's really amazing being in there, not because of my surroundings, but because of what people were doing. So many different people, some dressed up, some kinda hobo-looking, people by themselves, with dates, sitting at the roulettes, at the pokies, trying to catch the attendants out, or have no idea what they were doing. Pasky has a bit of a gambling addiction with the roulette, and just burnt through $100 in 5 minutes. It's a good thing he earns so much.... I was amazed that everything was so complicated, and yet so simple. He explained a few rules about roulettes to me, and showed Liv how to play the pokies (which I thought was an even bigger waste of money than roulettes or poker but anyway).
When Vong decided Pasky had lost enough already, we headed over to the Embassy to chill. I's mostly for drunk working adults who think they're kool and want a night out to be 'free', and being slightly under that range, felt a bit out of place, and when we tried to go dancing, I hadn't had enough alcohol yet to not feel stupid, so yea...felt extremely stupid amongst the crowd. Good music though.
Cal was meant to meet me at about 11pm, but he never showed, so Pasky drove me home. I found out later (last night actually) that he'd been sick and was sleeping for the whole weekend. Hopefully he'll be ok to come out with me this weekend before I hole myself back up and binge study for exams.
Talking about school, it turns out I've made a complete mess of my enrolments and I had a shitty time patching up my mess on Tuesday. The Creative Industries campus: Kelvin Grove, is is very village like, very idealistic and picturesque, which is nice to the point where it's kind of freaky, cos reminds me of one big Sim Uni or something. It's like one big long road with buildings on either side, one end being on a hill, dipping down in the middle, then another hill on the other end of the village. Of course, my courses were situated on either ends of the campus. And of course the two student centres were also situated at opposite ends of the hill, so while I was trying to get the right forms, talk to the right people and get to the right classes, Tuesday had me running back and forth, up and down those damn hills all day. There were certainly no convenient classes or buildings that were next to each other, each separate thing I did required it's own personal space and own damn hill.
At least work is giving me some more hours. Well more accurately, I've just been swapping shifts with people who want to leave early, so I get those extra hours. Which is good while I'm not tooooooo busy with assignments yet, but since I am a second year Business student, doubtless this year requires a heck lot more effort than the half-assed job I did last year.
well well into the second week of uni, trying not to slack off already. I've cut down on a lot of gaming I'm kinda proud to say, kinda because mostly I'm bored with it, cos all my ingame friends have all gone back to school as well and i hardly see them.
My Creative Industries (CI) subjects are half fun half complete and utter bullshit. One of the units, I have to take a bunch of photos, hand them in, and get marks =D awesome. But I'm actually putting quite a lot of effort into that one, enlisting a lot of friends as models, doing some basic research and storyboarding like mad. I'll probably run out of steam later on when I get busy with Business, but at least I can do my best now. The other unit is meant to be some video subject, but at the moment all i'm getting is that ridiculous bonding shit.
Business is deeper and more refreshing that ever. Advertising is still very interesting to me. The lecturer has a really soft voice, which is funny cos he puts in all these random jokes which you have to pick up from his monotone. He's kinda slack, brushing on the theory work and telling us to just read the textbook, but he searches up a lot of links to ads which I find pretty funny. But then again I've fallen asleep in both his lectures now, just cos I'm so tired at the end of the day. Consumer Behaviour (my other Business sub) is almost completely theory based, which is good for me, but some bits I don't get cos the lecturer whizzes past it too quickly, and the tutes is more like theory bashing time than anything else.
Work is being annoying and the manager is only giving me 3 hour shifts per week, but I've found people to swap with me on the night so I usually end up closing and going the extra 2-3 hours, which is good. I've also emailed some company about voice actors they need, and they emailed back to ask if I was still interested. I'm a bit hesitant about it...since after a look at their website (www.ajokeonhold.com) it kinda looks.....weird - not sure I'm that insanely happy and funny, even if I don't have to come up with my own jokes. But I guess this is just trying out something I wouldn't normally.
Being planning on going out clubbing for a while, and a friend said he'd take me around this weekend. I'm having a bit of a rough time on my own so going out will be good hopefully, sides spending more money. I'm meant to be saving to go to Japan at the end of the year, but since Liv has been throwing her money away like water, I'm not sure if she'll be able to go anymore...
Continuous Story - Kuroishi Hitomi (Code Geass R2) btw: Hitomi has a really lovely voice, most of her other songs are also beautiful (e.g. Sensibility)
