Telstra

Hello there

On the day Telstra decided to announce it was giving 14 cents dividends per share to shareholders i found out that the broadband man was indeed not coming.

To add to this the self install kit they sent to me was not working as it should so I am still stuck on mobile broadband. I had hoped the modem would be in my room but that is not the case for you see it has to be with the telephone line...which sucks.

So I will be using wifi which my laptop can detect yay! but unfortunately there is no internet that comes with that boooo

so i missed a lecture which seemed to be sort of repeat of last semester and a group meeting to wait for a man who show up in the end, i was stood up by a telstra technician. made 2 calls which were long but alright i spose cos they gave me peice of mind but they promised to call but never did. I guess they realised something was horribly wrong on their part hahaha.

anyway tomorrow aunty susan and uncle mark are going to rockhampton so i am left to fend for myself...YAY :D:D:D:D:D

i will actually have to do a bit of work both for the lecture i missed but also for group presentation and catch up work. i've actually been quite good and made word documents at least 4 pages long for each subject....i'm just saying that hahahahaha

Settling back in

so when i got back to queensland I didn't really want to be here cos it was such a stark contrast to sydney. however now that we've gone out as a group a couple of times and uni is a lot more relaxed this semester i don't mind uni, its sorta fun even ;p i talk to dr albert and my lab tutor -fiona a bit so the pracs are alright.

actually today i was eating popcorn in the lecture :d and elaine commented on the strong caramel smell hahahahaha so yummy :D

i pointed out i have exposed elaine to 2 yummies in 2 days grain waves and kernel popcorn :D

anyway settling back into brisbane

and i broke a glass last night hahahahaha

uq open day

today is uq's open day for year 12 students which means there were lots of lectures for different subjects and courses and stuff but ben and i weren't interested in that, we're already in the best gosh!

so we went for the demonstrations and the activities and the freebies - mainly to get free uq environmental bags hahahaha i'll bring one back to sydney and give it to jennifer she likes purple :P

so i woke up at 9 and had to be at uni by about 10 15 so i had plenty of time having to leave at about 9 55 to catch my bus. i left at 9 50 and got to the bus stop at 10. waited 10 minutes and the bus was full...

i wasn't about to wait for 30 minutes os i caught the next bus at 10 12 and went to buranda and walked to PA hospital station which is about 5-7 minute walk depending onw hcih exit you take from buranda -i took the wrong one ;p

so there i waited 10 minutes for a bus and hopped on. it was the bus 20 minutes after ben's one so i was about 20 minutes late.

luckily there wasn't that much interest in the laser show...and for good reason omg it was so boring it was like a lecture geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. talking about wavelengths and stuff how different mediums can change the colour of light......sooooooo boring

so then we went to look at metallic hedgehogs whhich is absically megnetised liquid or rather tiny dust magnets in a surfactant which is manipulated to form spikes in a container, pretty cool :D. after that we went to the other lab and they were extracting DNA and i saw a tutor who was like ;how come you're here' hahahahah funny as!

we then went to get freebies but so many lines around! ben and i had waited in sausage sizzle line and watched some macbeth which was a drama on stage. the sausages were good! so soft and moist hahahahaha

we then went to get some freebies from a car and i got an awesome deodorant for free yay and a bottle of water :D

we then went to an information for yr 10 students lecture to find out all about uq hahahaha while we waited for helen. helen came at 1 and we went to lunch pizza cafe. 30 minute wait on the pizza and lines up for about 15 but we got our pizzas and we were out of there towardds the chem demonstration.

the pizza were alright but...OMG THE CHEM DEMO WAS AMAZING. so many pops and fires and explosions and geeez chem is so much more fun as a demonstration than as theory haahahahaha ;p

so then we went to the lolly shop and i spent more money there than on lunch hahahah got new bottle ice cream and lollies surprise!

went home with a much less dramatic day. had a 2 hr nap cos i can and then had the moistest chicken drumsticks ever omg delicious!

posted letter to mum walked out during masterchef and didn't miss much. in the break ebtween the masterchefs i got quite a bit of work done hahahah and chucked stuff on usb for sonya. i think i am gonna be in a really good rhythm for the rest of the semester :D masterchef has finished hahahaha!

anyway time to get back to work for an hour before heading off to bed.

i got new pillows and they are amazing! good sleep :D:D

reciept

got the reciept mum

tell me what to do should i just send it in the mail again?

and i went camera shopping with elaine after getting the receipt. cameras are too expensive...not worth it!

ummm got home and slept

played some facebook games before tackling some 2022

bought lots of stuff so expect packages at home mum!

Sleep

well this is a funny topic cos everyone loves it! except insomniacs of course they hate it cos they can't have it.

so today i woke up about 12 times between 7 and 10 30 telstra man came and fixed the telephone line cos it died for some reason....

brought strawberries and anzac biscuits to uni today -to get rid of them :D they were gotten rid of hahahaah

didn't have that much meat today! didn't realise it til dinner

pumpkin scone for breakky with whipped cream and jam :P

rice and meat for lunch

vegetarian stir fired hokkien noodles for dinner

the interesting thing about sleep is how easily elaine falls asleep in lectures hahaha she fell asleep like 3 times today's lecture and insisted she was interested hahahahah wonder how many it'd be if she was bored ;p

anyway not much happening atm well not much i can think of anyway

stay safe and let the rain fall!

lecturers

so we have lost 3 lectures hahahah that's like 25 bucks in uni fees man! might be more i dunno don't really keep track of fees cos i haven't got them this year ;p

today's microbio lab was alright i thought but i heard lots of people complaining how boring it all was :P oh well!

so i got home and found out aunty susan didn't get my message i was coming late cos the phone died for some reason hahahahahaha!

oh well 1pm start tomorrow i should head of to bed soon anyway g night!

Sports day

so helen pointed out that i should post about this cos i told her i would tell her about it hahahahaha

so friday we had a day off cos uq had a research day and this didn't involve undergrads ;p so traditionally there is a sports day where everyone shows off their prowess ;p

so the day started off strangely cos we didn't know what was going on since the place it is usually held at was unavailable for some reason so we were moved to another field which was kinda fenced off and didn't have as good facilities - one dodgy tap and a couple of powerpoints ;p and had to lug the bbq a fair distance.

so anyway there were lots of drinks which i hadn't ever had before and a big punch thing. basically i met up with ben at uq lakes and went to try and find the place we got there on time and found jenny already there and then also about 8 other people. not sure when sonya arrived nor elaine tbh hahaha. annabel and michael came for about half an hour before leaving for their lectures and then petting goats hahahaha

after they left i remember ben jenny and i played some sport. sonya simply walked off the field hahahahahahaha. she met elaine outside and i am proud ot say that my team beat ben's team....1-0 :D

after that we were all so so tired lol! shows how fit we are eh?

so i had to change out of my jeans and got into shorts.

dye water fight was fun but oh gosh so freaking cold when the wind came :P

waterguns and waterbombs ftw :D:D third years were late so it was all good hehehehehe!

later we played piggy in the middle before some more organised activities like water wrestling which was hilarious!

tug of war which 2nd years won :D some random race

and 5 stations which had the people do dodgy dodgy things like eat toothpaste covered weet bix eughhhhhh

first half was so much better than the second half lol i guess i was too tired in the second half :P
