Wednesday, February 10, 2010Me: It's like the choice between being kicked in the balls or uppercutted in the stomach. The feeling is similar but you'd still prefer one over the other.
Was on campus by nine yesterday. Had an assessed quantification exam, pretty much reading graphs for twenty minutes and answering questions. The questions appeared designed to be bastards. Ended up with 16 out of 20, a respectable score though briefly this was 16 out of 29. Got to love it when an assessed exam has errors in it? Instead of alloting 1 mark to a question a single question was alloted 10. Not like I'm paying an arm and a leg to study here or anything. By study I mean Facebook and enhance my movie knowledge.
Tasha and I hung around campus for a while, we both had things we had to attend around 4 so we made the executive decision to hang around until four. This involved five hours of sitting in Mojo's. When the bar opened we got food and shortly after this I started drinking. What else is there to do in a student bar? It was just the two of us for the majority of the time. We got so bored that I made a boat:
Take a good, hard look at that motherfucking boat. Note the crew? That's right. It's a pirate and an astronaut. That's just how I roll. It took a while. Though one of the waitresses either loved the boat or pitied me. I side with the latter. But I mean, screw her, it's an epic boat.
After a group meeting and a lecture I returned to mine, watched some TV and crashed.
Today has been the usual Tuesday, a lecture occured today followed by a band practice. We tried some singers out, one being James. Never knew he could sing but he was good. Not sure which we're going for, should be an interesting week.
I should've spent the evening doing constructive work. Instead I made a tonne of angel delight and watched "Sympathy For Mr Vengence", it's a good film. A tad fucked up in places but I have seen worse. Tis an earlier film by the directer of Oldboy. It's worth a watch, a good concept an such. Got to love Korean cinema.
I am contemplating teaching abroad after Uni. Get some teaching experience and generally being awesome and doing something with my life. I mean it'll be interesting and an added bonus on a CV. Got to love living for the CV.
I have at least another episode of Dexter instore for tonight. Tomorrow is spent in the library, have left a skills exercise for the last day. This is how university works.
