Osi can finally get to uni again without being crammed into a tram like a sardine. Huzzah! Though the city seems kinda empty now, which is a tad sad...ah well. Back to boring old Melbourne! X3
Mm, weekly updates to procrastinate some on my essay I'm writing...
Monday...I don't think anything particually interesting happened on Monday. Oh! Wait! Yes it did, Osi got a free thickshake from Donut King at Uni because she asked for a hot chocolate but they gave her thickshake >.> <.< No complaints -there-, let me tell you. Um, Medieval History was on Charlamagne, and all his conquerage, P&P was on...that's right, funerary sculpture and the Sphinx, etc. When I die, I think I'll have someone build me a big Sphinx...or mayhaps something different, as the Sphinx has already been done, ne? Right, I'ma stopping rambling now XD. Shakespeare was on...um...Revenge tragedy. There we go. Finding Shakespeare the most boring of my classes, which was a bit of a letdown. Well, I must slog on!
Tuesday....Hm, my feet are cold. One moment whilst I find my slippers...Okay! Tootsies are warm now! Onto Tuesday. P&P tute taken by the lecturer rather then the normal guy, which actually wasn't such a bad change. Actually found out what I'm meant to be writing in my essay, something that greatly helps. XD Ancient Greece was on the Theogony, which I have yet to read, but basically on the main creation myths the ancient Greeks had. Good thing I'm already familiar with all that. XD Still claim that the Ancient Greeks were all scared of women, as they even tried to keep their godesses under male god rule by trying to rope Aphrodite in as one of Zues' kids. Nuh-uh! We all know she was made when Chronos whopped off Uranus' more manly bits! *shakes a fist* Silly Greeks, being afraid of women like that. Explains the Amazon myth, though. P&P was on Mummification. Need I really say more to explain my glee in this matter? XD
Wednesday: Spent most of the day trying to write my Shakespeare essay, without much success. That may be because, when it comes to essay writing, I have a painfully short attention span. Only got about 250 words done for the majority of the day, before the Muse suddenly hit me in the evening and made me go over the word limit. Figures, ne? XD Had to cut down, which is even harder then creating the words!
Thursday. Meh, you people don't really wanna know about my classes, do you? I had them, and that's all that really matters. Almost fell asleep in my Medieval tute though. That tutor is so boring. *gonk* Almost fell asleep in the Shakespeare lecture as well, but that was only on tragedy...dosn't matter -so- much. Starting to learn contact juggling in juggling club, yay! *squees*
Friday...I did not very much at all, despite my best intentions. XD Oops?
That brings us to yesterday, in which I had my first proper day of work. Whoo, tiring! Plus running up and down stairs all day really kills your legs XD. No major catastrophies, which is always a plus, despite me spilling a giant cup of soft drink I nicked. >.> <.< Oops. Well, I cleaned it up! No especially bad kids, just one group of 18 eleven-year-old boys. Aieyaiyai...so noisey. @.@ Well, the parents of that group were really, really nice so I guess that makes up for it. And another parent gave us cake. Huzzah for freebies! *squee*
Now, onto this essay...
Discoveries Osi hs made this week!
1. The Ballaiu library can be rather difficult to use. They place their shelf numbers in really, really odd places. @.@ Not to mention the books you want are nearly always out for the duration of your essay-writing time. Always the way, ne?
2. Parents throwing parties for their 6 year old kids at Darkzone are very, very stressed. This could be because you're not technically -allowed- to play at dark zone until their 7/8. Silly, lying parents.
3. Plot updates on Gaia are getting cheesier every time...

:o Osi finally went to the MCG...
Yes, it's rather sad, but, after living in Melbourne for 18 years I had never managed to get to the Melbourne Cricket Ground for any reason. Granted, I'd been past it many, many times but never inside...
But more on -that- facinating story later.
Righto, last entry was...Friday. Weekend...gods above, what -did- I do? Ah yes, that's right. I played much FF9 over the weekend and made my eyes sore. *nods sagely* Much fun, and good because I hadn't had a PS2 binge in awhile. Also did much reading, although none of it was what I was actually -meant- to be reading. ...Whoops? XD
That brings us around toooooo Monday! Monday, Monday, Monday...what the hell happened on Monday? Ah yes...we covered the reign of Justinian in Medieval History, which I didn't really find -that- interesting but oh well. P&P was on...I don't remember...damn. Oh, that's right! *looked it up* On Mustabas, or early Egyptian tombs. Shakespeare was on the Revenger's Tragedy which, frankly, sounds a tad like a Hamlet rip-off. Then again, all revenge tragedy is pretty similar, apparantly. What a...dull genre? They all have some combination of: ghosts, plays-in-plays, delayed revenge and feigned maddness. What a...suprise? >.> <.< Yeah, right.
Tuesday...Gah, this week's all kinda blurry. P&P tute was on...ah yes, taking ancient stuff out of their country and whether it was justified or not. That's right. It wasn't -that- interesting...but other people in the tute are starting to actually talk now, which is a nice change to myself and...one other person doing all the talking. Ancient Greece was intersting, as always, and P&P lecture was...on pyramids. Which, whilst it's an interesting topic, wasn't...that...interesting >.> <.< Can you see I'm getting a tad bored of my update already?
Wednesday I actually planned to do some work, only to get kicked out of the house (okay, moreso dragged) by mother to take Kat to the city for the Games Festival. Turns out we did more shopping then actual festival-viewing, but that was fine with me. Manged to convince Kat that she really -did- like a top that wasn't a t-shirt, which pleased me greatly. It's actually quite an awesome top...too bad it was in that Japanese store, and the clothes just don't -fit- me there. V.V Ah well, ce la vie.
Thursday. Loafed through my Greece tute for the first 45 minutes before actually waking up somewhat to participate in the discussion. Still think I did more talking then the majority of them, even if only in that 15 minutes. Went to get free coffee (or hot chocolate, in my case) for my Medieval tute, which was nice once we actually got there and waited in the cue for said drinks. Turns out the people in that tute are alright after all, I just hadn't really had a chance to talk to them yet. Found a Nightwish fan among them, though haven't found anything else to really talk about yet. Finding out people's names before getting into discussion with them would probably be a help. Must remember that. Managed to contribute to the Titus Andronichus tute despite having not read the book. Curious how I manage to prattle on about something I've never read, but I'm not really complaining. Osmosis of knowledge? Sign me up! XD Shakespeare lecture was on Hamlet, so I didn't -really- pay that much attention because...well...I had quite enough of Hamlet -last- year, thank you very much. Juggling was...juggling? I think I'm getting better...
Friday we went into the city for the athletics. Granted, that was in the evening and we went in about miday but, as always, we needed the time. Soooooo many people. Everywhere. It was almost scary. I haven't seen that many people in the city since...the 2000 new years eve thing? No, I think there were even more then that, which is rather creepy. Finally went to the MCG! :o After 18 years of seeing it on TV, I finally went in! It was...so much bigger then I thought. And the lights, so bright! It was like the middle of the day in there, although the sun was setting outside. Actually, that looked rather awesome, in hinesight. Saw Aus win the hammerthrow (which was actually really good to watch live), the pole vault and the long jump. Had to stand for all the national anthems, and was rather glad we didn't go to the swiming because we got to hear anthems other then the Aus one. The Jamacian national anthem actually sounds pretty nifty. XD
Saturday...what the hell did I...oh! Right! I went over to Saskia's! How could I forget that, mm? XD Happy 18th (though late wishes) b-day, eNVy! X3 Much good food, was particually fond of the pork chops, and much talking. Different crew to the normal people I go to these things with, which was actually a good thing as it provided a bit of...newness? I can't think of the word right now. Cake = yum! X3
That brings us to Sunday, as I, yet again, am late with my weekly updating. Went to the rythmic gym finals today. By the gods, those girls -bend-! o.o I could have -sworn- they would snap in half at those angles, but no! *shakes head* So scary. They were all good, naturally, but the Canadian who made the clean sweep of the event just stood out by far. She was no so...timid in her routines, and connected all her moves really nicely. *nods* I approved! And of course, my opinion counts. >.> <.< In my mind, anyway. Went to visit Grandma after that, who had a stomach ache, before going out for Italian for dindins. Yummi! X3
I should probably go...read now...or something.
Yeah.

Friday, March 17, 2006
The novelty hasn't gone, but damn I'm tired!
And I don't know -why-! Well, at least I'm not so tired today, Mum actually let me sleep in until midday. *squee* That helped big time. But I suppose you're here for the weekly update, ne? No? Well, tough luck, as you're getting it anyway! Hohoho~!
Before I start, however, I'd like to state that Rammstein's version of Barbie Girl is very, very disturbing and the main singer sounds like some sort of dog with the growling he's doing. I now truely know the meaning of fear. Oh, the spittle that must have been flying through this recording.
Monday...*thinkthink* Righto! It was Labour day, but us poor uni students didn't get a holiday. Woe is us. Due to the Moomba parade (which I don't think I've actually ever seen, despite living in Melbourne all my life) Mum dropped me at the train station and I caught the Elizibeth street tram to uni rather then the Swanston. Same amount of time, if not shorter, to get there but it's a bit of a hike across campus. Despite the train being fifteen minutes late, still got there in time. Arn't you all so glad? XD Anyway, we were lectured about the Arthur myth in Medieval history and whether or not he existed and how, and why, the myth became so...well, big. It was actually all very interesting, how such a big thing came out of only a few scratchy records which don't prove anything. In P&P we were studying hiroglyphs and the evolution of writing. Almost died of happy because of this. Shakespeare...oh dammit, what did we do in that. >.< I -think- it was on how Shakespeare's work went from being a staged thing to a written and read piece of work. I'd have to grab my notes, but they're across the other side of the room and you all -know- how lazy I am!
Tuesday...Pyramids and Princes tute was also on writing, which pleased me just fine. I've discovered I quite enjoy tutes, as they have a bunch of other people who are willing to actually -talk- because they also have an interest in the subject. Oh, the differences between tutes and English class last year! After that was Ancient greece, more on the Odyssey which I won't go into because it requires having read the thing to get (Or, at least, having attended the other lectures). Met up with Jenjen before going to anime club, in which we met up with Silvia, Chan-chan and Chan-chan's friend who's name I've forgotten. After that was my P&P lecture which covered Ancient Messapotamian gods. Once again, I almost died of happy.
Wednesday was likely my undoing, in terms of fatigue. Stayed up until about midnight on Tuesday wrapping up Kat's b-day gifts, then was woken at 7am by said Kat. Nasty, nasty, nasty! Anyway, the party went well and all the brats seemed pretty happy. The birthday cake was absolutely scrumptious. Got to bed at some ungodly hour, then didn't sleep so well due to the brat's noise levels. How they woke up at 5am was beyond me. @.@
Thursday...well, lets say I was half asleep for most of it. Greece tute was good, though I can't really remember that much of it. Medieval tute was better then last week, more interesting, though I have yet to learn most of the people's names. Break was good! >.> <.< Met up with Jenny and went wandering before we went to my Greece lecture in the smelly hall (Which, again, didn't smell too bad!), and then had lunch, watching the band that was playing. They were really good! Very loud, and I could feel the bass in between my ribs, but good! Shakespeare tute after, which was the first interesting one, then hung out in the library until final lecture, which was about Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare's first tragic play. And man, is it a bloody one! Rapes, murders, tongue and hands being cut off and people being baked into pie. Lovely, ne? I'm glad we're reading it, rather then watching a movie >.< The one part of the movie we watched, where Marcus finds Lavita, was rather...nasty. And spooky. *shudders* Juggling was great! Am starting to learn to unicycle...I can sit on it! Granted, I'm clinging for dear life to the fence, but I can still sit on it!
And that brings us to today or, moreso, yesterday. Mum let me sleep in, as stated earlier, and then we went shopping. Bought new PJs (which were badly needed) and got mum to keep her promise of getting me purple and black stockings. X3 Wheee!
Discoveries Osi made this week:
- Commies at Melbourne arn't in the great majority, or so she thinks. They're just very loud, and very persistant.
- 9am is -far- too early for any lecture/tute. She shall make an effort to have no classes before 10 next semmester.
- When en mass, 14 year old girls seem to have both hunger and energy abound. This will fully wear out whoever has the torment of looking after said girls.

Just because I haven't done these in awhie...
I bring you tests! Old tests, at that. This is what you get when Osi goes looking through her archives. XD

People were hung in various positions from you, sometimes with weights, stretching and dislocating limbs. Sometimes they were left to starve or succumb to the elements. All in all, you're a pretty forgiving person, provided they don't -really- get you angry.
What torture would you be?
Last time I got...the rack, I believe. Oh no, Iron bed! How pleasant.

LABYRINTH! Yay! X3 Brilliant movie!

![]() | You're a dreamer at heart and have a great looking Goblin King. You are everybodies favorite, but most won't except you. |
LABYRINTH! Yay! X3 Brilliant movie!
Yes,
I changed the layout to a pre-made one. My old one was pissing me off and, without having dreamweaver installed, I was incapable of fixing it. This shall surffice until a later date.
:o And the novelty hasn't worn off yet!
That's right, folks, it's time for the next exciting installment of Osi's weekly life! Hoorah hooray, oh glorius day! Right, I'll stop rhyming now.
When I last left you, it was a Friday evening. So I suppose Saturday would be a good time to start, ne? Well, on Saturday I had my first training session at Darkzone. Oh yeah, did I mention I'm going for a part-time job there? Probably not...oh well. ^^ Anyway, I worked from 11-4 there, and it was actually pretty fun, for a job. Not exactly difficult either, which was nice. And the kids wern't...too bad. A bit of pizza throwing, a bit of jostling, but nothing dramatic. Lets hope it stays that way!
Basically, on Sunday, I did not very much. Well, I did go to Dell's for a little while because I, being the silly I am, left my sleepingbag up there and Kat needed it for her year 8 camp. Ho hum. Well, it was nice to see her again ^^
And so, week two rolled around like that steamroller rolling towards you when you have your feet stuck in concreate, the evil villain's laughter ringing throughout the deserted warehouse you have somehow, most likely in some foolish act of heroism, wandered into: Inevertable without some rather unlikely intervention from a higher poewr of sorts. Should I stop attempting to make my blog posts interesting now? Probably, yes, lest I kill you all with metaphors that arn't really metaphors because they're just silly.
*ducks the flying tomatos and boos and hisses*
So yes, Monday. I, el gasp, went to uni and enjoyed it as much as I had last monday. I won't go into the lectures, as you're likely not actually interested though it would likely be a good revision exercise for me. Nah, I'll spare you all the pain and just give you overviews. Medieval history = good, and that I actually like having a double lecture. You seem to get alot more done. P&P= better then last week, as we actually started doing Ancient stuff, ie: Early Egypt history and the myth of Seth and Osiris. Fufufuf~! Have come to the conclusion that I much prefer Monday's Shakespeare's theatre lectures more then Thursdays, due soley to the lecturer taking each one. The one on Monday is just that much better. Plus it's partially a historial lecture on Monday, which could have something to do with it.
Tuesday...dammit, what happened on Tuesday. Ah yes, went to the Potter (no, not -that- Potter) museum on campus for P&P tute, which was quite interesting. I've always liked museums. Went back there later in the day with Jen-jen, just because I didn't get to look at the whole place that morning. Ancient Greece, as usual now, was facinating, despite the fact I already knew about the lecture matter. Good lecturers = love. Anime club also = love, and I met up with Silvia again and met a third year med student who is also a FF and KH fan. Ah, the joys of finding friends merely through wearing an FF8 necklace XD. Lunch with Jen-jen after that, before my P&P lecture, which was on Messopotamia this week. Who knew that Iraq used to actually be a nice place...abouit 5000 years ago, anyway. Well, probably a lot of people really, but I didn't.
Wednesday, I went shopping with Dell at Knox. Yay for shopping and gossping! We did much wandering around aimlessly, just chatting, and we both bought a pair of rather awesome boots. <3 Much fun and frivolity.
Thursday, my early start. El yuck. Somehow though, despite my fears that, though having arisen early I would still be thwarted in my attempts to get to my tute on time, I managed to get there on time. Early, even. Then I figured out that I hadn't actually done the reading for the week. Oops. This situation must be remedied. Straight after I had my first Medieval tute, which proved to be only...well...so-so in its okay-ness. The tute group is decent but the tutor? I don't like her much. Went and bought donuts and hot chocolate (because I was still half asleep) before meeting up with Jen-jen, who acompanied me to my lecture in the smelly theatre. Today, what ho, it did not smell of unrine! I do believe this is a good thing. Or it could just be because we sat somewhere different >.> <.<. After this, we proceeded to get lunch before I nicked off to my Shakespear tute (on how to write essays. Snore). After this? We went to the no-studying library and played Warcraft III, a task that proves rather stressful for me. Whoever knew something as simple as pink dots on a screen could cause me to panic so much. Shakespeare lecture after that, on Dr Faustus. Interesting enough, but I do wish the woman wouldn't just read from a sheet of paper. It makes things so much less interesting to listen to. No matter, juggling was next! Glee! I think I -might- be getting better. *crosses fingers and touches wood* Oh yes! Finally ran into Chan-chan, and there was much hugging and squeeing involved in it. I will not loose her e-mail this time...*runs to add it to MSN*
On Friday, I played the sims. X3 Actually, I started writing this blog entry also but I got distracted. Yes, I'm late with it. So sue me. Anyway, Dell came over about three and we proceeded to waste more time on the computers. Then Kat came home. Did I mention she was at camp? Yeah, I did. Then we (Dell and I, that is) proceeded to go out with some others to a lounge (The Atrium. Don't ask me where it is) for the evening for drinks and dessert. Yes, don't pass out people, but Osi -went- somewhere. Scary, I know. Just so you don't die of shock, however, I'll inform you that her drink was non-alcaholic (and rather tastey). Also, chocolate fondu always goes down well. Yuuuuuumi. Apparantly we have a fondu set somewhere at home. This must be looked into and exploited, if true.
Yesterday, had my second training session at Dark Zone. Was more challenging in some regards then last weeks, but overall alright. Except for that mix up they had downstairs which left us, in the parties rooms, with a tripple booking. Not fun. I reckon we coped reasonably well though, even with the dropped cake. Came home, collapsed and did not much for the evening.
That brings us to Sunday, today. I'll probably catch up on my reading before tomorrow and veg a little. ^^
Discoveries Osi has made this week:
- That the bathrooms in Union house are a painful color. Let me elaborate on this one. You walk into the bathroom to be met not only with fushia walls, but also with a neon orange pad and tampon dispencer on the wall straight in front of you. If this dosn't affront your sense of co-ordination, then the fact that the actual toilet room is bright red -should-. If it dosn't, you're blind.
- That, in order to get people to comment, or even just read, this Osi has to drag them by the ear and plonk them down in front of it (Except with you, eNVy. Osi loves you!). Is my blog really just that uninteresting or am I loved less then I thought? T.T Oh yes, thank you to eNVy for being a regular commenter, thank you Cal for taking a moment to comment on last week ^^
Dammit, I had more but I've forgotten them. Well, if I remember I'll add them to next week's update. ^^ Ja!
>.< I'm hungry.
When I last left you, it was a Friday evening. So I suppose Saturday would be a good time to start, ne? Well, on Saturday I had my first training session at Darkzone. Oh yeah, did I mention I'm going for a part-time job there? Probably not...oh well. ^^ Anyway, I worked from 11-4 there, and it was actually pretty fun, for a job. Not exactly difficult either, which was nice. And the kids wern't...too bad. A bit of pizza throwing, a bit of jostling, but nothing dramatic. Lets hope it stays that way!
Basically, on Sunday, I did not very much. Well, I did go to Dell's for a little while because I, being the silly I am, left my sleepingbag up there and Kat needed it for her year 8 camp. Ho hum. Well, it was nice to see her again ^^
And so, week two rolled around like that steamroller rolling towards you when you have your feet stuck in concreate, the evil villain's laughter ringing throughout the deserted warehouse you have somehow, most likely in some foolish act of heroism, wandered into: Inevertable without some rather unlikely intervention from a higher poewr of sorts. Should I stop attempting to make my blog posts interesting now? Probably, yes, lest I kill you all with metaphors that arn't really metaphors because they're just silly.
*ducks the flying tomatos and boos and hisses*
So yes, Monday. I, el gasp, went to uni and enjoyed it as much as I had last monday. I won't go into the lectures, as you're likely not actually interested though it would likely be a good revision exercise for me. Nah, I'll spare you all the pain and just give you overviews. Medieval history = good, and that I actually like having a double lecture. You seem to get alot more done. P&P= better then last week, as we actually started doing Ancient stuff, ie: Early Egypt history and the myth of Seth and Osiris. Fufufuf~! Have come to the conclusion that I much prefer Monday's Shakespeare's theatre lectures more then Thursdays, due soley to the lecturer taking each one. The one on Monday is just that much better. Plus it's partially a historial lecture on Monday, which could have something to do with it.
Tuesday...dammit, what happened on Tuesday. Ah yes, went to the Potter (no, not -that- Potter) museum on campus for P&P tute, which was quite interesting. I've always liked museums. Went back there later in the day with Jen-jen, just because I didn't get to look at the whole place that morning. Ancient Greece, as usual now, was facinating, despite the fact I already knew about the lecture matter. Good lecturers = love. Anime club also = love, and I met up with Silvia again and met a third year med student who is also a FF and KH fan. Ah, the joys of finding friends merely through wearing an FF8 necklace XD. Lunch with Jen-jen after that, before my P&P lecture, which was on Messopotamia this week. Who knew that Iraq used to actually be a nice place...abouit 5000 years ago, anyway. Well, probably a lot of people really, but I didn't.
Wednesday, I went shopping with Dell at Knox. Yay for shopping and gossping! We did much wandering around aimlessly, just chatting, and we both bought a pair of rather awesome boots. <3 Much fun and frivolity.
Thursday, my early start. El yuck. Somehow though, despite my fears that, though having arisen early I would still be thwarted in my attempts to get to my tute on time, I managed to get there on time. Early, even. Then I figured out that I hadn't actually done the reading for the week. Oops. This situation must be remedied.

Timetable update, and first week of uni! Yay!

Yes, there are a few timetable changes so, like the sweet, considerate Osi that I am, I'm letting the whole world know! Yes, for your stalking benifit, no refunds. XD I've come to the conclusion that an update of this layout is seriously needed, though I have no program on this laptop on which to make such a change with. This must be remedied. Well, at least I can edit the picture, right? >.> <.<
Anyway, I bet you're all just about pissing your pants to find out what I did during first week. Or...not...^^; I'm just going to tell you anyway. First off, I'd just like to say that uni absolutely trumps school's ass by a long shot. Pour example, the subjects (at least the one's I'm taking) are actually -interesting-. I don't particually -mind- turning up to class, due to the fact that I'm learning what I want now. XD We'll see how long this attitude lasts.
Well, I don't really remember what I did last weekend...I know I stayed home alot because Mum and Dad went out to plays both days. I think that's pretty much all I did, actually. ^^;
Ah, but I do actually remember what I did during the week! Huzzah! First day of uni was good, as, it didn't actually start until one pm. Started off with a two hour lecture in Medieval history, mostly introductory things for the first half before we moved onto the fall of Rome. And it was all so interesting! X3 Straight after was my Egypt lecture, also quite facinating, despite being introductory and our lecturer's...'interesting' dress. Ah well. Had a break after this, in which I read, before heading off to my final lecture of the day 'Shakespeare's Theatre'. Not quite as interesting as my others, as it was more an analysis of the only picture of a Shakespearian play, yet it should get better as we get into the actual plays. Trammed home with Laura and promptly collapsed.
Tuesday! Had my first tutorial, despite having some issues finding the correct room. This may be because I had to wrong room written down on my timetable. Ho hum. We didn't do an awful lot of discussion work, which is okay since no-one really seemed inclined to talk anyway, and instead looked at bits of smashed potery. Egyptian potery, not just your garden stuff. XD After this was my first Ancient Greek history lecture. The lecturer for that one seems really, really good, which is great since a boring lecturer on this sort of thing would ruin it compleately. So many of us in the lecture, though! o.o Apparantly, it's a popular topic. My first hour of break was taken up by anime watching, in which I met Silvia who, crazily enough, remembered me from Manifest the year before. Freeeeaky! I didn't know I was that recognisable! XD Kinda complimentry, however. I am memorable, FEAR! >.> <.< After that, ate icecream with Jen, Nicole and Silvia before having to nick off to my Egypt lecture, to which Jenny acompanied me to. Home after.
Wednesday I had off and didn't actually do a whole lot in. I went into uni, however, in an attempt to attend the sci-fi and fantasy club meeting...which I never found. Curses! Wasted trip! It didn't matter too much money wise, though, since I am now the proud owner of a monthly zone one ticket. Oh yes, and a new concsession card. Hurrah for a decent photograph! X3
On Thursday, I underestimated the power of the morning rush hour and, therefore, was twenty minutes late to my first Ancient Greece lecture. Not a good impression, I wager...at least I wasn't the only one. 9am is an absolutely beastly hour for a tutorial! >.< Never again. Hung around with Jen for the majority of the morn, before we both headed off to my Ancient Greece lecture, in the lecture hall that smelt of urine. Lovely. Mayhaps it was just because we had to sneak in at the back. I hope. Found out that I missed my Medieval Europe class because it had been changed first to 11am, then onto a different day entirely. Oh well. Went to my Shakespeare tute in which I, el gasp, actually -spoke- to people! How curious and novel! They seem all reasonably nice. After this Jen and I went to the library, since it was far too hot to walk about, and read/napped until Jen's next lecture, which was when I had a makeshift dinner. Finished up with more Shakespeare, a lecture this time, before heading off to Juggling club. Yay! That was most fun, despite me and my fellow begginers suckiness with juggling.
Today, since I had another day off, I had a good bum about in the morning before helping mum cook muffkins and then made my way to Spider's, which was an adventure in itself. And so. bloody. hot. >.< Accursed bus', not coming on time! *shakes fist* Well, I got there in the end and she and I had a good chinwag before going out for Japanese food. We also went to La Porchetta to get dessert. Yum. X3 After that, had another good chinwag before mother dearest came to collect me (she didn't want me taking public >.> <.<) and...now I'm here! Hoorah!
So yes, that is the latest update on Osi's ever so eventful life. Stay tuned next week for the next part: University, after the thrill is gone! To be continued! XD XD XD

Uni next week...
Well, that was an impressive amount of people who actually read my long post. One. -.-; I feel rather unloved currently. Fie on you all! Well, except for eNVy, Osi loves her! Well, time for the weekly entry, I suppose.
On friday, I can't actually remember what I did. At all. >.> <.< Kinda scary, actually...because I don't remember what I did all weekend either. Lemmi think...OH! That's right! On Saturday, I went up to Dell's house with Lain, Jen-jen and Kirsty to watch anime in the hopes of finding an appropriate group for us to cosplay as to Manifest later this year. In the end we narrowed it down to D.grey-man, FFIX or Angel Sanctuary. The latter may be a tad difficult, because of the wings involved, but we shall see what the general concensus is. Which remindes me, we need to have a joint meeting to discuss it, so as to decide on both the series we'll do and the characters...I want to start on my costume soon! Aside from general anime-binging, we also went in the spa and had a yummi BBQ.
Sunday was full of general lazing about, since we were up to some insane hour of the morning. On Monday, I think I did an awful lot of not much other then going online. >.> <.< *lazy*
Tuesday was the begining of orientation which, overall, has been a reasonably pleasant experience. On the first day there was mainly, well, orientaion stuff with a 'host' group, most of which, in my case, were reasonably untalkative people or already knew others in the group. Ho hum. Ditched the group after the Dean's welcome at about lunch and met up with Daveen for lunch, then later met up with Jenny also. Then we all headed off to the 'no study-ing' library and gorged on the manga there. Hohoho~!
Wednesday I had to head in for a Classics, History and ...whatever the other thing was, morning tea. Cinema studies? I don't know, but I don't study it. Aside from that, the food was -good-! After so many years of crappy PLC biscuits and cordial, it was nice to get muffins (with actual berries and choc bits in them!) and juice. Met a few other girls there (yes, girls. I don't make an effort to stick to my own gender, it just happens!), namely Rachel (not sure of the spelling) and Nicola. Both are nice, and Rachel also likes the Vampire Chronicals. And I just -know- that's not spelt correctly! Yay! Well, hopefull we'll be in the same Creative writing class next semmester. After the morning tea I hung around with said two newly met people, Jenny Lawry and...two other girl's who's names I can't remember until they all nicked off for the French talk and I went off to my English seminar. Found out we have -readers-! Just like in History last year! And that I'm studying Hamlet again >.> <.< Well, at least I know it pretty well. Straight after that was my History talk, which wasn't really that enlightening. Jen called up right before that started and so we met up for lunch/afternoon tea when I was done, before wandering about, signing up for the theatre newsletter and going on a tour of the various creative arts facilities, mainly the theatres. Also met up with Connie-kins on said tour. This done, we headed off home and I finally got around to using Alloc8. Hoorah for having Wednesday and Friday off!
Thursday was Clubs and Societies day and it was -hot-. Met up with Jen-jen and her friend, Sam, in the morning before braving the heat to find the various clubs we wanted to join. Almost were swamped in the sporting clubs section before finding out that the other clubs were -elsewhere-. -Then- we were almost deaffened by the juggling club's demonstration music. That club we promptly joined. I also managed to, eventually, find the Sci-fi/fantasy club table, though was not able to find the Monty Python or Role-playing club locations. I shall have to track both down later. Also joined the Weekly Watchers of Wonderful anime. Yay! We even got a club card with that one. We eventually managed to find Been amongst all the hallabullo, after loosing Sam, and she, Jen, Karen and I all headed off in the nice, air-conned tram to Max Brenner, where we proceeded to make piggies of ourselves. Then it was a long and hot tram ride home.
Went to see the repeat house-concerts that night, which were apparantly the better three of the deal. Found Rosslyn's a little...lacking, though it was visually pleasing, and it seems they've tried to carry on the Harvy legacy with her sister who, though her voice is stronger, is not incredibly pleasant to listen to. Stirling was a decent performance, despite (as Connie said) it appearing almost as socialist properganda at times...I'm pretty sure that's not quite how they meant it. Despite Emma not performing on the actual day, she did a splendid performance that night. Atholl's was also good, though I feel they could have gone further with the storyline...or perhaps I just don't like hanging endings. They're Eiffle Tower (which was rather impressive) was starting to wilt by the end of the performance. XD Amusing.
Which brings us to today, in which I reverted to my habit of doing jack all. Okay, not -quite-, I did go swimming and play the Sims 2 alot. Ah yes, Stirling won house concerts! Yay! And backdrop also, which I'm sure they were quite pleased about. Found out Emma (thomas) was head of costumes, and would like to note that they did a great job! The elf hats were so cute. X3
Uni next week...I'm actually looking forward to it, since it will give me something to do. Though...I kinda like just sitting around.

Friday, February 17, 2006
Well, it's been about a week since I posted. I'm thinking weekly posts should be enough, due to both the lack of activity in my life and the general lack of readership of this blog. ^^ That way, everyone's happy! Yay~!
Hm, so what has happened in the past week. Not...an awful lot, actually! I went to Camberwell on Friday with mother for lunch and groceries, and also got myself a nice skirt. And it's red! Not black! Fear! ^^ It's a dark red, anklelenth affair with bands of black lace around it and pretty bows. Eh, it looks better then my description. XD
Saturday was, as far as I recall, rather uneventful. Kat went swimming, Mum went to a birthday lunch/afternoontea/dinner thing and my dad and myself just sat on our asses all day in front of various machines.
Sunday I acutually did stuff >.> <.< Don't die of shock, please. Mowed the lawn (after a week of being nagged) and cleaned the pool. Then proceeded to do not much all over again. What a tiering life I lead! It's exhausting just typing about it.
Now Monday was actually something. Held my first social event of the year (*laughs* Probably the only one other then my b-day -to- be held!), it mainly being a BBQ/DDRing/swimming/get-together-before-O'week affair. It all went relivately smoothly, despite half the people not swimming (I -will- get you all in the pool at once! Just you wait!). On the whole, everyone seemed to go away happy. I hope >.> <.<
Jay stayed overnight and, for Valintines day (and because it was cheap-Tuesdays) we went to see Cassinova at Chadstone. Not the most brilliant movie I've ever watched, but it was a decent laugh and looked reasonably historically acurate. How the lead character supposed he'd get away with all his lies was quite beyond me, actually, and the end was a tad cheesy with an en mass exit, stage left. Mind you, the collective 'run away' moment was quite amusing in itself.
On Wednesday a small group of us (6 strong! Yay!) headed off for an impromptue game at DarkZone in Box Hill. I won one round, came second in another, and now have very sore front thighs for my efforts. Guess which parts of my legs don't get exercized often! And no, there are no prizes. I guess squat-running is a good workout when done for half an hour in the dark. XD
And that brings us to yesterday, in which I, yet again, did a grand total of nothing, mostly due to my legs still being sore. Played a few rounds of DDR until it got too muggy to jump about in socks, and played much of the Sims.
As for today, well, seeing as we're only an hour and a half into it I do believe that, for now, I shall go and knock out! Goodnight!
PS: If I don't get comments for a post -this- size, what am I going to have to do to draw you lot in? Sheesh!
PPS: Hey, eNVy? How do I get my posts colored? XD I used to know, but things have been shuffled around again since then. >.<

PPS: Hey, eNVy? How do I get my posts colored? XD I used to know, but things have been shuffled around again since then. >.<

I really need to think of more imaginative titles...
I -was- going to call this post "three weeks to go", but that's just getting old. Well, onto news. I have done a total of not much since my last post. Anyone here suprised? No? Didn't think so. XD
Okay, that was a lie. I -have- done some stuff. I have made (most) of Spider's skirt, I just need to add an extra layer since my measuring was off. As for writing...I revamped 'Senzafine' and uploaded it, until someone kindly informed me that FF.net no longer took songfics. Just when the hell did -that- happen, anyway? >.<
Other then this, having a BBQ on Monday at my place. Seirya? You're invited but I don't actually have any means of contacting you other then e-mail...I'll talk to you on MSN, hopefully.

Oops
Well, seems I'm rather behind in my blog updates, dosn't it? Guess it's time to start posting frequently again. Actually, it seems time to start doing -alot- of things frequently again, rather then sitting on my ass doing nothing. The list includes: Sewing, which I've actually started on (Finished Spider's b-day present! Yay! It better damn well fit!); writing, because I'm -really- behind in my fics; RPing, which I made a start on last night. I think that's about it...hopefully I'll have started doing all those regually by the time Uni starts. Right, gotta check up on what's on in Orientaion week. Ho hum.
Other then this, not much has really been happening. Am officially hooked on both the Sims 2 and Neverwinter Nights again, much to my glee, and Kat and Dad are back at their respective places, mainly being school and work. So much nicer without them in the house.

The heat. Again. Gods >.<
41 frickn' degrees. When they said this was going to be the hottest Summer on record, they wern't kidding! I don't remember a time where there were this many hot days in a row o.O O.o Perplexing.
Oh yes, I got my first preference! *dances about* Sho happy! Have to go enroll tomorrow, which is -also- predicted to be hot. -.-; Yay. Ah well, what must be done must be done! I'm still a tad confused as to whether I choose my subjects when I enroll, or later, however...I suppose I should look it up.
Hm, other news...have been up and back from Portarlington for most of January, which is the reason for my lack of postage. Not...that I've done much anyway. Lots of lazing about and berry picking, and reading. ^^ Kinda boring, but okay, I guess.

Happy 2006!
Yes, we're into the new year. Frankly, it dosn't feel any different then the last because, when you think about it, it's just another day. But oh well.
Havne't really got much to say, other then Happy New Year. ^^
