The week or so has been quite eventful – although the events themselves seem super lame.

I was meeting my darling Amy at a restaraunt the other day, i was running late and i had to put my shoes on, so what did i do? Put my shoes on WHILST driving! Achievement! … … *cough*

New blog design is in progress, concept #1 completed,  aaaand…. scrapped. It won’t do.  Onto concept #2.

Oh i also bought a hat the other day, turns out it was a girls hat – and i wear it with pride!

Met a few new people who ran into my blog, hopefully they are enjoying it – big shout out to them.  Especially you Chris, my fellow gentleman who can’t breath whilst sleeping lol

Ahh… wow today was probably one of the best days I’ve had in a loooong while.

Today marked the day I finish Uni this semester – heck the last day I finish Uni in Austraia for 2009!!! No more uni till Kansai Gaidai! And, oh, was it a wonderful day.

yay

So I woke up this morning after a pretty good sleep – which doesn’t happy very often due to a sleeping condition I have – and I dived straight into study for my final exam for the semester: Japanese.  And what a way to go out!

Ok so today I had my first Japanese listening test, and to be honest – I was freaking out.

Mentioned a million times before: I test well.  I’m good at exams, comfortable, never nervous, and it’s what I do best at.  However this was different.  I was freaking out!!! I felt severely underprepared.  The thing that was letting me down was definitely my vocab – which is terrible! I have SOOO much trouble remembering/recalling different vocab.  Obviously this would be a problem. Even if i know what they said – i wouldn’t know what they meant.  It’s the thing i have the most trouble with!

Unfortunate…

Yeah so… i rocked up to lecture today… walked in just as the “not-lecturer” said “Ok i’ll see you next week!”

WTF
An Actual photo of me at the time

After consulting my buddies they told me that the ACTUAL lecturer was sick and therefore lecture was cancelled.  I could’ve slept in! Oh well, more time to work on assignments I guess.

For those that have read the previous post i’d like to mention that it was written because such a decision HAS arisen.  But before I mentioned anything I wanted to talk to the people involved.
