    Melbourne

    This is my first report from Melbourne. O-week at college has been insane. Nothing to do with Melbourne uni, Whitley college is the place i'm staying at in Melbourne. hey....why does it say this entry is in at 6.31am when it's really 7.31? ah the mysteries of life. O-week involves meeting a HEAP of new people (very few actually from melbourne, none from canberra) and being abused and publicly humiliated. mostly in pretty funny ways. It's like hiking, now that the end is near, i can see how fun it was. But when it was 12am, had to get up at 7am the next day, been doing activities with people all day, it gets a bit much
     
    AND, i swear these people dont sleep. how can you get home at 4am and up at 6am??!? We had some disgusting challenges yesterday,for my part i had to eat tongue (couldnt....taste like beef but the tastebud texture. . . ) And do jelly wrestling (after being oiled up) at the end was a MASSIVE food fight. With the challenges, whichever team loses gets ponded in the morning
     
    We haven't been ponded  (ie, grabbed by ankles and wrists and dumped in the pond) as a team, but i got ponded twice on the first day, once for not having a hat and 2nd time for shaking my hair and wetting all the leaders.
     
    right now i have to study for the  "Fresher exam" You know all that crap you get in your school diary bout rules and times? have to study that.
    Over and out

    P.S. yay for comments that have nothing to do with the blog entry
    (ie, "Moving away" and the comment with it. have to go to her blog and read a few entries back and read my comment to know what the hell's going on)

    Things i hate

    I hate:
    Getting lost while driving in the city
    Valentines day - or not having someone to spend it with
    The government in general, in particular the tax office
    Banks (coporations, not the suburb)
    Packing/shopping for going away
    Not having everything organised yet (won't all be done til i enroll on the 21st)
    Irritating people

    Moving away

    10 days til i move!! eep! not as bad as kylie and lou, who are moving on friday, now thats scary. But they're only going to wagga, thats not too far away
    I'll have to send you all letters from my new address as soon as i get one, i'm not sure if i get a uni one or one at the college i'm staying at. I think you should all be readin Mark's blog, its great, its more like a fantasy story that comes in frequent installments. That reminds me, check web comics:P
    Note to self: get a cat. name it butcher. Butcher the cat? great idea

    Good advice

    Note to all readers. yes all 2 or 3 of you. Don't scratch sunburn!!!! that is the advice that has risen from my experiences today. You'd think i'd learn....but every single time i get burnt i think "ooh itchy" and scratch it.
    I'll stop now, its early and my mind is not yet functioning

    Ha! take that msn spaces!!! Note to all computer geeks: i clicked exactly the same buttons but the first time it didnt work and now it did. Einstein's definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome ) is no longer true in todays society
    I do the same thing over and over with my computer, expecting the SAME outcome and more often than not i am BETRAYED and it does something completely stupid for no apparent reason. (well, reasons that are apparent to people like huw and mark and not people like me)
