three more days (not including today)

yep, in three days time i will be back in melbourne.
where did these holidays go?

so, first up, i apologise most profusely to the people i said i was going to catch up with, and never did. and apologies also to the people i would have liked to see a bit more but didn't.
this always happens. i guess it's sometimes a matter of whether availability matches up, and the urgency of some other things. please don't feel like you've been shunted or anything. because that is clearly not what i tried to do. it just kinda happened. so, we shall say "next time".

SIS opened. there is a mad rush of tute swapping. it's horrible. even though i added my two cents worth. i'm trying to get into this ONE tute. and i have a pretty crap one on offer. hopefully some pity-ing person will pity me or something and swap with me. that would be really nice.

ok, and we are trying to rig our times so that they are all the same. this is cause the subject has assessments which are all group work. and you know, having some friends to do group work would be nice. not that meeting other people isn't a good experience or anything, but if the whole semester is group work with your elected group, i had better hope i have some good group members!

we (mum and i) went to see one of my old piano teachers yesterday. it was really really nice! ok, so my playing has declined since my exam (wow, who knew?!). and her house is so english!!! (well, her husband is) the garden is like a cute little english garden. Sigh. maybe that's what i should have in my future house! :P it was really nice. ok. getting off that now...

then last night my brother and i went to see pirates2 with two of our cousins. it's been a really long while since we saw a movie int he cinema with our cuzs, so that was really nice. i think when cousins are around, we hang out heaps with them, because otherwise, we don't see each other hardly at all! so, it was a really good movie. i won't do a spoiler thing nor review in full, but i will say that i really enjoyed the movie. there was so much to it! and it was clever, full of action and witty. it was great that they could use material from the first movie too, rather intelligently, which was good. i'm really looking forward to the third one now!

so yeah, now i am frantically trying to change my timetable. the tute time i've been given really doesn't work for me...i have sinfonia at that time! and of course, the music faculty is hideously old-school and more than half my subjects don't actually appear on SIS. so my timetable according to the central system makes it look like i have four hours of uni. hah. really, i have more. and *shock horror!* i think i have to go to uni five days a week. yuck. i don't think there is much possibility of escaping it this semester. it tends to happen with second semesters..perhaps there is a trend (you know, based on the grand total of two examples!) i don't think two days off a week is going to happen ever again..i really should have savoured 1st sem, 1st year. nice and easy, i'd say!
right, i'm gonna see what else i'm going to be able to change......argh!
