Well, this laptop means that I have the strangest ideas for updates pretty much ever... there's not a lot of uni which I'd like to get involved in which runs at a decent time, which is really ticking me off.
Why can't the classes be arranged according to MY schedule? Considering I pay a cool amount of money to be here each semester... *sigh* They should take a vote or something for class times, even though it'd be way too hard to organise for the entire administrative staff. I find it scary how many administration people have to be hired to make a university with 10,000 students run.
Not that you can ever get something like an educational institution to run SMOOTHLY, however.
So anyway, I'm going to Digi, Tiamos and Rani's place for dinner tonight, but I've just discovered that the lecture time for Thursday ITB310 has been changed. Tremendous. I don't think I can be bothered going anymore this means.
At some point I'll actually install the Java runtime environment on this machine and carry it around with me, but until that day I'm going to be writing a lot of mobile journal entries. Actually installing even more things that I should be using/learning on this laptop is more than likely going to make me even more adamant that I should only be using it for doing things which aren't going to better my education.
Gah I feel sick. I had a milk drink and it felt like lead in my stomach. This sucks, I know I need to eat something at some point but I just can't. My mother will probably make her blood pressure go even more through the ceiling if I don't eat a proper meal at home before she goes to Sri Lanka, although I'm not sure that I can really manage that at all, especially since last night I was in the kitchen when things were being cooked and it made me feel ill.
That's something bad about the night before last I think.
Hamish isn't going to adventjah, which sort of surprised me a little. I found his reasoning interesting, if a little skewed. He's been saying certain things which make me think that he's been seeing Australia through rose-coloured glasses while he was in the UK, and things might be coming back into focus as the little annoying backwater that Brisbane is in reality (my reality at least).
My reasoning behind not going to the UK to live is that I don't think I've had enough experience as an Australian yet in order to carry an appreciation for the Australian lifestyle overseas for any length of time. Believe it or not I actually enjoy living in Brisbane immensely. If I went to the UK I don't think it would take all that long before the amazing amounts of progress made in the areas of "modern living" (in all its aspects) would erode slowly at my love of the way of life in the city which is currently my home.
When in Rome... :)
Like the way that Hamish was saying that he wouldn't go to mix up because he'd be bothered by his actions which would most likely include saying things like "Well, in London, we do it this way...", but I think its more because Australian people are annoying to him, through most of their actions, their presentation... its hard to be understated in that regard. The rave scene in Australia and especially in Brisbane is literally 10 years behind what it is in the UK, and unless you're holidaying and expecting it to be 'quaint' then it must be extremely hard to look around and not be soured on the experience because its so passe and kitsch.
Being a semi-strange person in regards to my outlook on life and everything else, I find that other strange people who are offbeat in weird ways don't bother me, and actually I find myself more in tune with them than with any of the 'normal' people who exist in, say, city clubs. :)
