Library adventures

So today i hop off to macquarie uni library for the first time. cause i like those kinda things. visiting different libraries. gives me incentive to work

Stupid city rail inconveniently trackworked the northern line so i had to catch the railbus which took 40+ minutes to get from strathfield to epping despite the 20 minutes which they said it would. but i read my chem textbook on the way like a nerd so not much time was lost.

on the way we passed rhodes where all the corporate buildings are and waterfront apartments. why does water look so pleasing to the eye?
i realised rhodes would be a pretty sweet place to live, however it'd be tonnes expensive



so anyways, eventually get to the library with some help from kelly (damn macq uni is big) and start to get into the work. uni's have a different vibe to it, not as homey like school, but the library was pretty nice. 4 floors and the top floor was quiet as. such a nice study environment. mr bal was right when he told us to go study at uni libraries if you couldn't concentrate.



after a while, carol was there too and we go lie around in the sun for a while with this really really nice view. and there was a fountain and stuff too
such a good day to lie around too. so sunny and my jeans were burning me.



must've been the vitamin D or something, but i felt great afterwards and went back to chem. gosh there's so much to learn. but made efficient use of my time and went through quite a bit, so feeling quite alright. just looking forward to the end of trials really. though it's gonna be kinda saddening in some aspect

and that was about it for my day. left around 5 to catch dodgy cityrail home . been thinking about my next 10 things for my list and here it is :

- nerd at 25 different libraries in sydney
- become good friends with a black guy (the american ones)
- go to a TGI friday
- attend a lawn bowls match
- stay at an all you can eat restaurant for more than 4 hours
- stay in a waterfront property for over a week
- ride a bike to work once a week for 3 months
- pick up squash
- go to watch an origin match
- buy one of those giant spirit bottles which are like 5 L and just use it as a display

thats it for now. take care all

Some things in life you just gotta do.

I feel like a douche for going to school in a suit today.
but some things in life. you just gotta do.

in terms of productivity of study on a scale of 1-10 . i'll give it a 5 . but it was kinda fun. just can't work when doug is around.
but it was nice to have an empty quiet library for once . hopped into connors' old room to study for a while. feeling ok for eco. i have this pimple on my nose. i'm blaming it on the 'stress'

ok i have this theory. do you know those people who just have one single mole on the side of their lip. i can think of like 15+ people who just have that. it's crazy. i reckon they all came from the same ancestors or something . cause that's just really abnormal to have all these people who have this trait. recessive gene or something

well this will be a short post. but just to share some photos from today.



decided to come up with a list of just 100 things to do before we die. and we made an agreement that we can change those things as we progress. seeing as as we mature, then we'll have changing preferences to things that must be done. so just to start myself off with 10 things

- order everything off the maccas menu
- make a public announcement on a speaker phone
- have an international pen pal
- make a fake account for a friend on rsvp
- become a maths tutor
- beat peter chen in at least 2 subjects
- run 20k non-stop
- finish reading the entire bible
- finish a whole pizza by myself
- go laser tag in suits (obviously)


i quite enjoy the trip back home. and theres quite a few people that go to ashfield all in different grades. so its pretty cool that we all get along. yeah we fitted 8 people in a six seater. quite an uncomfortable train ride but nonetheless. fun

and i also met kate's sister again at ashfield. weird. she smiled at me weirdly and i was thinking why the heck she was doing that. then i realised 10 seconds after who she was


for now. it is good luck and enjoy the rest of exams :)
take care all

Justaquickreliever.

these damn things. i keep on expecting things to happen for me, like getting automatic 99> UAI. but i realise those things won't come unless i work
so i just typing my "daily" blog.

was telling swami about new things to put on my "things to do before i die" list
and i finally remembered what i couldn't think of
i must:
- create an awesome drink by accident and share it with all my mates. kinda like that simpsons episode where homer makes that accident drink with cough syrup. that'd be awesome

other new things included:
- busk on the street one day. probably not by singing though.
- pretend to be a hobo. oh and i must point out. found a very funny hobo sign whilst browsing through facebook. it reads "family kidnapped by ninjas, need $ 4 karate lessons" it's funnier when the hobo holds it up
- be really good friends with someone famous
- be an extra on a tv show or movie

have a good weekend all
take care
