Fuuuck. What a great day off.

Right now, it's damn pouring and looks like a thunderstorm is imminent. I need to shower, but I wont start until I'm sure there's no chance the power will cut out.

Today is my first day off from uni. It's been shitty so far. I woke up with cramps. I heard the phone ringing down the hall and ran to get it.. and when I picked it up, the caller had just hung up. It's bucketing down and I still haven't found gumboots. I saw some at Westfield a week ago, but they were so damn huge that Ian Thorpe would have to wear them with a couple of extra pairs of socks and some insoles. Heh, Ian Thorpe. What is he doing nowadays? I had the biggest crush on him back in year 7. *shudder*

I really should be reading something for Cultural Studies. Heck, it's only 10:40am. I have all day. Well, until my eyebrow wax appointment at least. Yessssss finally, my eyebrows have been looking like gross caterpillars lately.

I withdrew from my French class. The teacher was far too anal about us putting on a perfect accent. I could tell it wasn't going to be as fun as high school French. She pointed at 'e' and 'è', and said "zees eez prrronounce urgh..and zees eez prrronounce urgh..see de deeferrense?" To which everyone laughed and thought 'WTF' (or 'vat ze fuck' en français). But yes. I withdrew from that class and I'm now studying Spanish. I had my first Spanish class yesterday, and it's so so sooo much better. I was amused that I was so familiar with a lot of words already, since Tagalog is pretty much based on Español. I found it funny that the Filipino word for stinky (baho) was pronounced the same as the Spanish word for short (bajo). The teacher also mentioned that 'pajero' is pronounced 'pa-hhhero' (I put three h's there, because I don't know how else to type that sound that resembles the hocking of phlegm) and means 'wanker'. I'd hate to be a Pajero driver then.

First Day At Macquarie Uni

I can't put 'First Day At Uni' as the title, because I went to UWS for a semester before I decided I wanted to get the fuck out of there.

Hot damn, Macquarie is 404358 bajillion times better than UWS Parramatta.

I think the highlight of the day was seeing this guy in a hotdog costume, with 'W.A.N.G' printed on the back. Close second were the Caucasians promoting the Anime Club.

I had two lectures today: Gender Studies and Cultural Studies. Very interesting. (For once, I'm not saying that sarcastically.) In Gender Studies, I watched an episode of some ABC program from 1996 about Australia's first refuge for victims of domestic violence, 'Elsie'. No woman deserves to be struck by any man. Ever. I can't believe some men think women bring it upon themselves by nagging, and that they deserve it. I was about 15minutes late for my Cultural Studies lecture, because it was straight after Gender Studies, which ran a couple minutes overtime. Next week, I'm going to make sure I leave Gender Studies at least 5 minutes early so I don't miss anything, and I can find a seat without everyone staring and thinking 'heh.. look at that bumbling fool'.

Urghhhh the total cost of my textbooks is higher than the current available balance in my account. It doesn't help that I just bought cowboy boots off eBay last night. I found one of my texts on textbookexchange.com.au, but the damn seller hasn't replied. I wish she would. I don't want to have to buy it brand new, or (God forbid) have to buy a copy with yellow pages off eBay.

But hey! Cowboy boots! I can't wait for them to arrive. Actually, I don't mind if they take a week or two, I just want them to fit perfectly. I've already brainstormed some outfit ideas. lol.
