bluebear_74I was almost late for uni today because I spelt in, I heard the first alarm go on at 8:50AM then I went back to bed, next time I open my eyes it's 9:35AM and I'm meant to start walking to Hallam station at 9:40, so I quickly get ready and have no breakfast leaving me very hungry at school. Lucky the lecture finish an hour early so my friend and I went and got lunch. For some reason my phone turned off even with a full battery.
My friend and I were so freaked out today on the way home on the train. The train was pretty full so my friend was sitting across from me rather than next to me because the seat was taken, then this girl walks in and really quickly sits down like she's in a hurry or something, my friend and I just go silent because it's a awkward and she look kind of weird carry around a plastic bag with from what I saw hard some clothes and a toothbrush. The girl was out of it, she didn't seem to be able to sit still, she was just kind of floppy, and she had a small mirror in her hand that she was using to pick at her scabs/pimples on her face, her arms were covered in scabs too, I'm guessing she was picking at them also. Anyway the seat next to me frees up so my friend sits next to me and the girl moves across so she's now right across from my friend, and she suddenly asks "Is it someone's birthday or something?" and I look around seeing if there's anything that could give her that idea, and my friend tells her no, she then go and asks us if we went to somebodies party last week then something about Sydney, and my friend and I just kind of smile and nod because we couldn't really understand what she was saying because she mumbled. Then I type on my phone "She's freaking me out" and my friend agrees and nods, we think she finally done talking to us, and I ask my friend if she smelt the alcohol last week on the train and my friends like no, then the girl like "Oh yeah that smelt on the train last week" like she was there with us while still picking at her face. At this stage my friend and I are really freaked out because this girl is talking to us like she's our friend and we catch the train together all the time, so my friend type on her phone if I want to move to the first cart and I'm like "yes!" so we quickly moved to the first cart hoping she wouldn't follow. I think the people around knew what was going on because they would have seen us move cart even though there were no spare seats in it.
Got my results back for the practical test, 67%, I'm so glad I passed since well I'm not the one who studies heap, all I'll do is read the text book once and be done with it. Also had Software which I don't mind but it's hard when you don't understand the coding, this is basically what happened when I ask the tutor for help.
Tutor: "So what you need to do is state the arrays, how would you do that?"
Me: "....."
Tutor: [waits]
Me: "....."
Tutor: "..... Ok what you do is ..."
The ACMI thing was pretty good, there was a "Truly Asia!" display which would have to be my favourite because one of the short films was hilarious. It was basically a 3 men dress as geishas and it was done like a documentary. Loved the lines:
Geisha 1: [slaps Geisha 2] "You smell like fish!"
Geisha 2: "What kind of fish?"
Geisha 1: "Blow fish!"
Malaysian Geisha: "Over there (Malaysia) they say Malay-sia, not Malay-sha.
