Sorry for the lack of updates and commenting as of late, for the past week or so I've just had assignment after assignment due. I've got another due Friday then nothing till after holidays. I need the mini break. Sunday night/Monday morning I was up till 9AM doing an 3000 word essay which was only worth 10 marks, I wouldn't have minded if it was either less words, or worth more marks. You probably probably think 10 marks is ok, but part 2 was worth 5 marks and it was a power point slides of part 1 (the essay), then part 3 was worth 5 marks and was a proposal for assignment 2, which really was 1-2 paragraphs of what you were making (you got 1 mark for just writing your group members names).

There's all these other issues for my Project unit, the clients are total idiots and want us to do all this extra stuff they don't even need because their trying to milk us for work, doesn't help that they have no idea about some things (at least some of the staff are super nice and sweet). Plus my feet hurt because we had a presentation in front of class and my group dressed up and wore heels around Deakin all day (after comments no one came dressed nice last week, yet we we're the only ones this week).

Also why is gas/petrol so expensive? My Dad, brother and I went to fill up before, my car was half full and cost about $45, while my brother's alone was $82!! It came up to $181!! Even with the 4 cents off per litre we only saved $5. LOL The girl at the counter told my brother to take 5 Freddo frogs because they were free to which my brother asked if she was sure, and she told him to trust her and she'll show him. It was because if you spend money in the store you get an extra 2 cents off, and because we had gotten enough petrol that extra 2 cents became $2.50 which was the price of the Freddo frogs. Too bad they didn't have Caramello Koala, I love those.

I've only read some of the leaked Midnight Sun, I don't know why but I've been really "Meh" about it. I really enjoyed the first chapter though. I'm not sure if it's because I've been pretty flat out with assignments or the fact that I know what happens. I also not a fan how Smeyer has blamed fans for the leak when most of them (ie me) didn't even know about it till she commented about it. I'll think she'll still write it (for the money), probably just wanted a ego boost (of fans telling her they still love her after Breaking Dawn, which I did like btw).

Also for some reason as of late I've been obsessed with nail polish, I even ordered about $28US worth the other day (why does O.P.I have to cost so much here and have such pretty shades and cool names). So much for not spending any more money.

I'm happy and sad at the same time! My last two assignments where due today and I've done and handed them in. I had to hand in a hard copy for one so I went to Deakin on a public holiday (Deakin was open) and on the way back Shaz and I went to The Pancake Parlour for lunch and spent way too much money there ($23 each). I feel bad how much I spent there. On the way I stopped by the M.A.C counter at Chadstone to ask if they sold the Sculpt and Shape Power and was surprise to find they did but the woman said they only had a few left. She found them but I was very sad to learn that all the shades they had left where too dark for me, and what sucked even more was that they wouldn't get more because it was a limited edition. Which means both times I intended to buy something from M.A.C they've been out of what I wanted (with the exception of the microfine refinisher, which by the way is awesome). I though maybe I'll try another M.A.C store. Till I checked the website and 4 of the 6 stores in Victoria are all in the Melbourne CBD, Chadstone and Highpoint (which is further away than the CBD) where the only ones that aren't in the CBD. Maybe I'll convince someone to go with me or take me.

Only two exams now and then holidays.

Also I really love Coldplay's new album!! And happy birthday to sarky_77.

I want to read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn oh so bad. But I really need to work on my animation, I spent hours on it last night and I only have 24 seconds!! I still have heaps to go, I didn't expect the animation parts to take so long. I envy the people who decided to do super easy stuff. I've told myself I can read it if I finish all the bits I need to animate, lets hope I have some self control. Once I've done this animation part the rest should be easy, ie filming a bit of footage, then combining and editing all the elements, I hope I get it all done by Thursday. I want to avoid asking for an extension because I've got another 3 Assignments due after this and I can't afford to spend all my time on this and not anything on the others.

OK Those new Gaspard Ulliel photos made me have a bit of an accident in my pants...


Also remember the Advance Animation pitch that I was stressing about? Got my mark back today, 19/20!! I'm so pleased. I had no ideas for a concept until a few days before it was due and even then I hadn't had it all worked out till the night before it was due. But Steve (my tutor) really liked it. I still haven't worked out where he's accent is from, he was born in Australia, but lived in Mexico for years and years, and my friend suggested that the travel has made his accent odd, but another friend thinks it sounds Canadian.

I was meant to book the restaurant for dinner on Saturday with my friends, but I keep forgetting, well I guess there's the KFC next door.

I never really liked James much but...


I'm starting to get very excited about the Twilight movie now. The only thing that is killing the joy is the fact that I have the pitch due next week which I have to present in front of the whole class, and that I also how zero ideas on (I need a concept for a 5 minute animation that will become my major final project). I almost have finished the Gaspard mood theme, I just a have a few more to go.

ajfljglajg Just watch Robin Hood 02x02 and saw the promo for the next episode which I'm downloading now and saw Guy's hot naked chest. ZOMG DOWNLOAD HURRY UP!! I was going to watch tomorrow but now I. MUST.SEE. NOW! Need to get up early and go to Deakin to hand in an Assignment, then come home and do my Games assignment, due Midnight. I know I'm cutting it close, but I'm such in a lazy mood right now, and it so bloody hot.

Went to Chaddy today to see the Honda ASIMO thing, bloody hell I didn't think you would need tickets but you did so we got there at 3, and waited in the "Emergency line" till the show at 5PM and it was so damn hot. I had planned on having a walk around Chaddy too but we where in line the whole time. Probably for the best anyway, I'd probably end up spending too much money.

Look at the cute ASIMO wind up toy my brother got me.

Oh and I got Delta's new album on Saturday, she shiny. Wish they made more CDs like that here, it's still not as cool as I've seen ones on Asian have though.

I hate when LJ stuffs up and steps send comment emails.

ETA: Look what Adrian said about Anders is the "Poop in the woods" video.

buckshotwon: I gotta say, this might be my Fav. It was so totally random, so last second.... I was leaving and Anders said Hang On! I got one for ya!... I set down my bag and filmed him. I don't usually throw the word genius around, but if I was gonna, I'd throw it in David Anders' direction....

The guy from EzyDVD didn't call back. Not sure if it's because I didn't get it or because he said he'll call in the morning because he knew I had class in the afternoon and didn't get time, I really hope is the later. I'm starting to stress with all the assignment I have for Uni, 3 are due Wednesday then 1 on the following Monday, but next week is also my last week, but that also means exams.

Look who I saw on Life fierytigress.

My life has been a bit crazy past few days, I haven't really had much time to do anything. For those who don't know my uncle was admitted to hospital Wednesday morning after collapsing at work, he then pasted away early Thursday morning (12:44AM). It really messed up my sleeping pattern because I was up from Wednesday 10:15AM (when my cousin called me) till Thursday 12:30PM, with no sleep in between. It's scary thinking about it because he's only 1-2 years older than my father, him being 53. ( All the issues his death caused )

Now my family is really broke after buying my car which was $24,000, and now having to pitch in to arrange everything for my uncle. Doesn't help there's stuff I want/need but really shouldn't buy because I really can't afford them because I don't have a job (which is proving to be hard to find). I'm not allowed to eat meat for a few weeks too for religious reasons. I don't really have too because my parents said it was ok if I didn't but I still am.

The timing couldn't be any worst since I have 5 assignments due soon and exams which I'm really stressing about for one of my units because I have no idea what has been going on all semester because it's so badly taught. I can't afford to repeat and pay the $900 unit fee.

Another stuff happened too, but this post is long enough as it did. I did end up going to the Melbourne Show though, I was really annoyed with myself because I missed the ferret presentation, I still saw a few though, made me want one even more but I have no idea where to begin to get one, they aren't very common. Oh my Aunty from Malaysia came too, she hasn't come to Australia in over 10 years but after all this stuff with my uncle happened she caught a flight over with her two sons.

PS- I likely flock this later but I wanted people to know what's going on and why I'll probably won't be online very much.

I was up till 5AM working on a stupid assignment last night. There was so much drama over it because apparently a lot of people just copy and pasted their answers so everyone has to re-submit the assignment now. I have another due on Friday and I'm a bit lost of what we're actually meant to do.

Oh I also drove all the way to Deakin all on my own today. I got a bit lonely, but it wasn't too bad.

Oh I don't have to pick between Heroes and House screen captures anymore! Heroes is airing 9:30PM Thursdays (from October 4th), while House is airing 8:30PM Wednesdays (from October 3rd). I guess that means I should catch up on all those caps eh?

Melbourne Show started today I totally want to go between the 27th-29th to see the ferrets, I totally want one but I don't think my Mum would approve. There's a "Melbourne Ferret Cup" on the 29th, but my family are meant to go to a 21st birthday party so I don't think I can go.

YAY Arj Barker won this week's Thank God You're Here, I love Arj, I was so disappointed when he didn't make it to the finals in "Last Comic Standing". He's also got these cute little animations called "Arj and Poopy".

Finally Happy Birthday to both mandy_jg and dancingsoleil!!

OMG OMG The guy from Mazda called today and said the car will be here Thursday!! The licence plate kind of sucks, random letters and a odd number but whatever I'll get over it. I think we're picking it up Thursday afternoon which is awesome because I finish early on Thursday so I'll be able to go too. Only thing that wreaks my excitement is my assignments due tomorrow and Friday.
