So Here I Am..
UNI
In Uni, the first week has passed quite quickly for me. This semester would require me to read,think and write more critically than I ever have in the previous semesters. For my English Major, I'll be studying the Race and Class of American Literature, and Post Modern literature. Post-modernism, gosh, tell me about it. Also, I would be taking a unit on personality for Behavioural Studies, and a more controversial unit, Sex and Crime.
I think I have a gift in reading people's personality, and I tend to be spot on but I do ignore the obvious sometimes. Anyway, I have been really busy reading. A novel a week? This is really stretching my reading skills, not just speed reading but I need to analyse the characters, the structure, and tone of the entire book. Well, they're easy reads at about 150 pages for now. I think it will progress in the further weeks to come. The truth is I HAVE NOTHING TO DO, NOTHING.....WITHOUT THE INTERNET....I read to kill time, but at the same time the internet would do much more harm when it's back on next week - distractions and disturbances. I can't do anything, can't get online for a little bit of social life (I refuse to use 3G unless I'm desperate), to view and look for hotel accommodation for my Paris/Italy trip, check out the new arrivals at Topshop and Asos, get in touch with my mails, ogle at gorgeous model-wannabe at lookbook, and the sad list goes on and on. I can't believe how much the social and technology revolution has change my hobby so much. It is affecting me. Alot.
Then again, it is irony that I'm totally upset that Borders is going to have its rollers down forever. You know, there are people like me, who likes the pleasure of holding a vintage book not an iPad but a book, physically glued to your palms for a couple of hours, taking deep breaths of new paper-pulp and sipping on a cup of Earl Grey, or a glass of Moscato. All this to me is the simplest pleasure of life.
ITALY UPDATE
A little update on my Prato:Italy Trip. I will be travelling with a close buddy, Biha. We have hold plane seats and if everything goes well, we will be flying on the 1st of July from Melbourne to Paris and we're planning to stay there for about two/three nights. After that, we will hop on the EURAIL to Florence, Venice and a day trip to Pisa, train to Milan, and then Prato, where will be having our lessons there. We are crossing our fingers that we'll be able to visit Germany for 2 days or so, depending on the class schedule we have. We will be keeping Rome till the last day or we might extend our stay in Rome for the last few days and fly back to Melbourne from there. I am praying that we will get the best accommodation and rail tickets, because a train ticket for 5 days cost AUD359. So, you see, I need internet to look for a casual job to get extra money for this insanely worthy trip in July.
And to sum it all, this is me in the foreground of a messy living room. I have yet to decide what I should to do about the mattress. We have a really small apartment
Top,velvet leggings and leather boots - Topshop
Shawl - Zara
I got the shawl for Janet, but decided to get one for myself too cause it'll keep me insulated well and it looks neat on anything! =)
I am going to continue to look for jobs at Uni until Macbie's battery dies.Till then peeps, have a G'day!
