Better late than never... then again better not at all...

So it is February and summer has decided to kick in!!! Summer has been mostly rainy, cold and miserable with floods everywhere particularly in Queensland. In fact I thought summer had just slept through and decided not to show its unbearable heat BUT NO! Here I lie in bed boiling hot even with the air conditioner on drenched in my own sweat! (sorry but its true!).

Oh summer how I wish you have never come... whats worse is the prediction that it will stay like this!!! gah!!! save me! And I go back to uni soon to a top floor room that only has a flimsy fan!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is really all I can say. :(

On another note I saw the 'King's Speech' and just would like to say how AWESOME IT WAS! Brilliant film! Brilliant cast! JUST BLOODY BRILLIANT!!! Colin Firth did a fine performance... more than fine terrific actually!! I will be so annoyed if he does not get best actor at the oscars!!!

Well I think that that will be all tonight I will resume my position in bed and hopefully get some sleep!!!!!

THE DREADED TEXT LIST!!!

I have in my possession the dreaded text list for semester One 2011!!!! Just what all university students fear buying textbooks... however, most of my fear comes from buying them and then barely using them rendering them a waste of money or not buying them and being in desperate need for them but the Coop is out of stock!!!!

Anyways so here it is:

ENGL120

- ENGL120 Approach to English Literature Resource book--Course notes Sem 1 2011

- Macbeth--Shakespeare

ENGL201

- ENGL201 Creative Writing 1--Course Notes Sem 1 2011

- Writing Book--Kate Grenville

- Little Green Grammar Book--Tredinnick

MHIS221

- Barricades and Borders--Gildea

EDUC261

- Nil Needed!

soooo...my total textbooks will cost me $145.77 which isn't half bad... but would be cooler if they were free.

Roy Morgan's Ultimate Survey

Okay so I was digging through some of my old stuff today and I found this computer program that I thought I had lost as I had not seen it in years and searched for it often, its called 'Ultimate Survey' and was put together by Roy Morgan Research (www.roymorgan.com.au). The game is actually enlightening and at times very funny... Basically you pick a season (summer, winter, autumn or spring), a character (female viking, alien, Guy in a severe amount of amour or an old man) and then the length of the maze you wish to complete (small, medium or large)... You begin the game and the aim is to complete the maze but as you go you come across question marks which display questions that you have to answer... anyways the results can be quite strange!!!!

Apparently I am...

mean, patient, antisocial, anthropophobic (fear of people), dumb, disliked, retiring, solitudious, courteous, browsing person.

so yes... I bet you totally want to know me now right?!?!!!! I have no idea why it thinks I am mean it may have something to do with the question regarding 'if someone made you an awful cup of coffee you would A) drink it anyway b) leave it there till it gets cold and not drink it C) cough and splutter and make a scene' and I said b! I think it also decided that I am 'retiring' cause I said I liked Classical and Religious music and go to church regularly. The disliked comes from the funeral question I think they asked how many peeps I thought would be at my funeral if I died today A)thousands B) close friends and family C) few hundred and I said B!

Oh well it is enlightening in a cutting and blunt kinda way!

MAC IS TAKING OVER!!

My rents recently purchased a Mac and well guess what? it arrived yesterday and guess who was forced to set it up?? YEP me! cause I am technologically savy! Its very exciting! WOOT WOOT!

Anyways so here I am all set up typing from the newly purchased mac!!! I am a convert and will definitely buy one of these for uni after my current laptop dies a horrid death within the next 12 months... LOVEEEE MAC WOOT! Since I am a student and the mac was purchased through me we got a free itouch! woot and my rents gave it to me... so yay! not that I really need it since I already have an ipod classic which does me fine... but oh wellsies!!!

Anyways I must be off! That is all I have to share todaysies!!! :)

SUBJECTS for 2011

This year at Uni I will be taking on a myriad of things!! Here is what I am studying...

first semester I will embark on a journey into the uncharted waters of Information and Communication Technologies and Education which is a) a mouthful and b) probably not as exciting as it sounds!!!! I will Approach literature that is written in English and be introduced to Creative writing while icing all these experiences with European History from the french revolution to fascism!!!!
Second Semester will force me to learn about education and go into the depths of cognitive development followed by a touch of war and peace in World history... I will then set sale for Modern Europe (although I am pretty sure I will be already located there) where I will entice my brain with religious reform and conflict! Once the Church has been sorted out I will then include myself in conversations about inclusive education! before jumping in my time machine to check out the Ancient world with a focus on Pagans, Christians and Jews that tend to reside in Athens and Jerusalem!

SO! There you have it! Much excitement! ;)
