Killing time before school

Currently at home, on the internet early because I don't actually start until 3:30pm today but I'm meeting Helen Nguyen for lunch earlier. But it's still early right now so I thought I'd write a blog before I head out.

So far the week has been a drag. Well not completely. School has started and I can't say it's been fun nor has it been a bore. I go to school, listen to introductory lectures and spend a lot of time in the Swinburne Atrium. Two days of school so far and I've only had 3 classes. I start late today because there's no Physiology Laboratory classes in the first week and I don't have it again next week because my Physiology Lab class is scheduled every fortnight and it wasn't scheduled for the next. So two weeks of no Lab for Phys. But anywho, it gives me a late start to the day. It's great actually, they cancelled my Chemistry tutorial and there's a introductory Chemistry lab which only goes for an hour meaning I leave 12:30pm on Thursday. In general, uni life is a bit weird. But I guess that all comes at a price of being a first year student. I'm lucky enough to have auto-allocated classes which I end up being with Kim at the end of the day (4 days a week) so I don't have to catch the train home by myself especially if it's Winter time and it's dark and scary. Anywho, I've also found out that Linda has the lunch break as me on a Tuesday. So Thank God. And to begin uni life, the mass amounts of books we have to buy. And how costly it is. And of course HOW HEAVY THEY ARE. My shoulders were killing me. God damn it. Luckily, we don't have to carry all our books to school all the time. Except my chemistry lecture said to bring it to my tutes and lectures ><>

Oh, I forgot to mention my driving lesson with my brother. Well, let's say I have never received so much verbal abuse in 1hr or so. My heart was so shattered to pieces by the end of the lesson. "OMFG HELEN ARE YOU STUPID! TURN! TURN! TURN! HOW HARD IS IT TO GET?" Clearly I was not getting it. In the end, he only found out that it was my second lesson driving. (First was with mum driving in a carpark) And so he apologized to me and said that i wasn't too bad for a first timer on the road. LMAO. Ahhhh man driving is so scary. You gotta focus on everything. Everyone around you, Speed-o-meter, controlling the car. ETC ETC ETC. So annoying. Looks like I'll only be driving at night. HAR HAR.

Anywho, Shirley's birthday was on Saturday night. It was a great fun night. Her friend Jacky flew in from Adelaide just to see her. How cute. Last time we all saw him was like New Years Eve. Anywho, most the girls came and it was a night filled with eating, drinking, singing, dancing and parking (playing at the park). And yeah it was an awesome night. It was great to see all the girls again even though I saw them two weeks ago. And it was great seeing those I haven't see in ages. I kinda missed my other girls who couldn't turn up. But yeah there's always other times :) Hrmm, the highlight would probably be singing happy birthday to Shirley when it hit 12am because it was her actual birthday. Even though there was a few of us left, it was still fun. We photowhored heaps that night. Far, I think I drank a little too much because every time I went to sit down, my head spun like crazy. But I was still thinking straight and walking straight, not tripping over or anything. LOL. And my face was still WHITE! Rofl. Photos are on facebook, through my account, Catherine's and Vivien's. I'm getting Helen Nguyen's one's later.

Yesterday going to school was fun. I bumped into Caroline and Dasha on the bus. And whilst at Sunshine, Maria P. joined us. Then when we were on the train, Van and Karren were there. Yes people KARREN :):):) And so we all caught up and then Caroline's bf came on too. Haha. It was like a mini Marian reunion, plus a few other people. But yeah most got off at Footscray and Karren and I got off at Flinders. But yeah it was sooo good to see her again. Got to make an outing for her to come too! Then to add to my good start to the day, I had lunch with Linda at school so yeah. Far, I miss Marian College. I miss my school dress too. How sad is that?! Rofl. What I don't miss is probably actually no. I was gonna say carrying text books to school but then again uni text books are twice as heavy and twice as expensive.

I think that's all I should write for today.
Ciao Bella
