it took me a phone conversation a few nights back to realise that ive been here for two months
two months. wow.
in the past two months ive been attending the university of melbourne
ive squatted at van's place, slept on her couch and bed, free loaded off her internet and electricity
ive attended ten weeks of lectures and tutorials (with some exceptions)
ive managed to secure my own cribbbbbbbbbbbbbbb, nothing fanciful but relatively homey
ive spent plentiful on furniture and things like towels, and then spent even more on new towels because my colour scheme (of my cribbbbbbbb) kept changing and i just had to match everything
i also blutac-ed about hundred photos onto my wall and then took them down three days later
however right after taking them down, and with the help of jill,terry and shumz we hung up those same hundread photos with pegs and string
additionally, we managed to fill up my two black beanbags with four litres of styrofoam beads, only making a sllliiightttt mess
ive shopped quite a fair bit..............plusss yesterday i even carried out a conversation with the hot gpco guy!!!!!!!!!! (undoubtedly the highlight of my year)
ive attended every single one of my tuesday media politics and society tutorial for well, personal reasons heehee
ive cooked, cleaned, cooked and cleaned till my fingers have wrinkled. but i love it, because its stress relieving and because of my undying love for shumz wen and van
ive enjoyed tremendously all the visits from azfar nickoh jason cher beth jill terry and trish
ive not gone sightseeing...............
and lastly, ive been to safeway (almost) fornightly
and now i want to go home
so two months ago i was in singapore and i had the mindset of having to do something productive with my life
hence now, im in university, enrolled in a course which im not exactly thrilled of
my readings are piled up till monstrous heights and .....why the hell must all writers use such profound language?
and albeit all the long breaks of soy chai latte and occasionally hot chocolate, university is crap
doing essays till dawn is crap
sitting through boring lectures is crap
participating in tutorials whereby your tutor is a full fledged activist is crap
i want to go home,i cant wait to go home
and four days ago, i was so excited because it was One more month till I'm home kind of thing
but because of some messed up karma, my one exam for this one subject (which btw is the only subject of mine which has an exam) happens to be on the 24th of june
three exam weeks, extending from the firstweek of june till the third and my stupid stupid stupid stupid exam had to be allocated on the last damn week
skip the exam and flunk out of the first semester? irrational thinking. fly back home and then back to melbourne just to sit for the exam? costly
so i guess now, its yay, Two more months till i'm home......
but yeah im alright, hanging in there
 
But when you're gone all the colours seem to fade
