Hey peeps ^^
Remember how I said that today was going to be death-ness? Well here’s a run-down on why I’m still alive =D (umm yeah, I tinkered with the timestamp on this so that it would be logged under Thursday. Why didn’t I blog on Thursday itself? Read on.)
Aiiiiite. Before saying anything else, I should comment that I slept at 5+am since I was up most of the night studying for Economics, updating my Econ’s Tute Book, finalising MCAC Lunch Arrangements, designing a ‘MCAC-ers, OVER HERE!!’ kind of placard/banner thingy (see next post for it), sending all finalised documents (and pics) to an alternative account so that I could print them off in the morning, and burning a Hillsong CD for Serene.
As such, I woke up slightly off-schedule, meaning I got up at 7:25 instead of 7:15am. Managed to get the rice cooked on time, so my packed dinner of fried rice was successfully created. Donned my blue MONASH cap, picked up my gray hoodie, and set off.
After 10am, I dashed off to the ITS corner in Campus Centre–only to find out that the printer was out of order??! WHAT THE HELL??!!! Desperate, I had to run all the way to the Matheson Library to print out my attendence sheet for MCAC and the ‘placard’ thingy that I’d designed. I could have chosen not to, but doing so would have rendered my whole night’s efforts to have been for naught. Not exactly good.
Thankfully I managed to get things done in record time and returned to the MUISS lounge at around 10:20am. Bought a Pool Nite ticket, then grabbed my stuff and went off to Grain Express to ‘book’ my MCAC Lunch Table.
Nice empty place, the dining room. I found a long table to the left and sat myself down along with my economics tute book and related information, then started to revise frantically while darting looks at the wall clock to check what time it was. This was at 10:40am, so I was officially the first person there ^^
At approximately 10:56am, a near-disaster struck. A girl approached my table. I looked over at her calculatingly, wondering if she was a MCAC-er who had noticed my cap. (That was the agreed-upon ‘identifying factor’.) She just put her things down and merrily went off to get some lunch. I checked the time, determined that she wasn’t a MCAC-er, and was prepared to ask her politely to switch tables (ie, FOff) so that my club could do our stuff. Fortunately for her, I noticed that the premium meeting spot (meaning the table directly at the entrance of the dining hall) was being vacated. So I up and relocated, probably leaving the girl wondering whether she had the cooties. LOL.
At maybe ten minutes past the hour, Tam arrived. Ummm this is spiralling into a blow-by-blow account of my MCAC meeting, so I’ll just post up a link to the happenings (my version) in a later edit of this post.
Onto the after-lunch part of the day.
Tute test at 1pm. Got Question 8.1–and noticed that every tute test I’ve had have placed me with the first question on the page. Hmm–luck?? I should look into this before the next tute test. Or maybe not, so as to not jinx it o.o
So… yeah. Had the tute test. At 2pm, I had to rush to my Accounting lecture. BUT… I wagged it. My brain was too fried from the discussion we had post-test, and I anticipated the most boring set of double lectures ever in the impending 3-5pm ECC session. Hence, I skivved off class, went back via the Grain Express way, didn’t see anyone left (to my disappointment), went on to the MUISS lounge, FOUND Chris’s ‘Loli’ banner (wow!!!) and promptly kept it in my bag, talked a bit with the others, and just laid myself down on a sofa to rest. Lack of sleep started to remind me that I needed a nap. Unfortunately I couldn’t afford one just yet.
From 3-5pm, I went to my Economics lectures. OMG that lecturer was soooooo…. ACK. All the new things that we covered in that one session were a fraction of what Kathy could cover in one hour. Even Mr. Boring could do better than that. SHEESH. Two hours, wasted.
5-6pm was supposed to be my first long break. Reheated my prepacked dinner and sat down to enjoy it. Had another Edu Meeting from 5:30pm onwards though, so my brain got even more fried. Shite.
The MUISS meeting was from 6:15pm to 7:13pm. Gave up on my 7-9pm MURP session simply because I cbf’d to plan another few days of Marianne Webster’s life. Hung around the lounge for another hour or so instead talking about random stuff and just generally chilling out.
SEF Royale was in full swing by the time I got back. Went into the Pavillion on the off-chance that there really would be liqueur there… and hit the jackpot o.o White wine!!! (and lots of Carlton Draughts which I didn’t touch) Drank a glass or two, did some chatting with the other SEF-ers, and then went on up because sleep+class+long day+alcohol were making me very sleepy.
Tried to get on the internet (and by relation, the MSN). My internet was acting up though, so after trying for half an hour to unfreeze my panels and get MSN or the web to work, I gave up. Just wasn’t worth the gray matter to do so… especially when bed looked so tempting.
On a side-note, I was supposed to go to Notts with Eddie, Han, Sharon etc at around 11pm, but I begged off since I was tired and since I’d had my alcohol intake for the day.
So in conclusion, while I was not (as imagined) knocked out the instant I get into my bedroom, and didn’t get a migraine, the night pretty much passed into oblivion for me in an instant.
Hmmm will continue more in my next post. Ja ne~~~~
