My friend was meant to drive us to Deakin yesterday, I messaged her in the morning asking if she was driving and if she needed my parking permit. 30 minutes before class started she message me telling she'd slept in and it best it I just drove myself which was fine, I ended only being 10 minutes late. On the way home we both went to McDonald's I waited for her in the car park and when she got there she told me she got a $66 fine for parking without a permit, $66 could have brought 3 months of parking. It's her second ticket, last time she parked in a non-spot and was fine about $30, which I paid half of. So glad I remember to stick this month's parking permit on the other day, I started walking away then remember and ran back and stuck it on the car.
My brother also called up about 30 stores today trying to pre-order a copy of the limited edition Metal Gear Solid game, I'm not sure if he was successful or not, every where had already filled their quota, one place even called up saying they couldn't any more after already taking his money, another said they could and he went down and said they couldn't any more.
I'm pretty sure I failed my last assignment, I knew I wasn't going to do well, I emailed the lecturer asking if there was any chance of making up the marks by doing questions or something and he said no. There was a whole 8 people in the lecture (which increased to 12 later), and we talked about the assignment, and as much as I would have liked to say I went fine with the assignment I 1. Just can't seem to lie when asked something directly (unlike many people I know), and 2. Wanted to make it known I went bad on the assignment hoping he would go easy on me. Of course he then proceeded to ask me a bunch of questions (about what I had problems with, why didn't I ask for help, etc) while all I wanted to do is hide under a rock. I really wish the unit description emphasised that programming was involved in this unit, however no prerequisites where listed other than Networks. He also said that not as many people handed this assignment in compared to the previous one which was all questions and I actually did fairly well in (I was .02 marks off a HD (80%)), so I hope maybe that will bump my marks up (usually the marks are scaled). I need me some Gaspard or Anders to cheer me up, or maybe I can watch the Twilight trailer another 20 times, I've even put it on my iPod so I can watch it any where.
