So here I am back in Bendigo and I just finished an online assessment which takes ages, especially when it take you about a day to recap a one hour lecture (you’ll never guess how much lecturers can fit in one lecture).
Wednesday
The psych lecture, which was predicably boring (mostly because he goes through the topics way too fast) – but psych is interesting, just the surface but when you start to get into the nitty gritty, its tedious and filled with many names and historical events that shape our modern psychology. So, after the lecture, a walking “halls” group crawled our way back to the prison cells (as it is commonly referred to). An afternoon of light reading (more like, reading and msn haha) and sport (we kinda played everything from tennis to basketball to the good old 2-square – Damien has so been secretly practising, I reckon), we headed off to pizza hut for Melissa’s birthday dinner. While waiting for Henry to come back to fetch us, we decided to sit on the concrete (strange but it felt okay at the time) and relax. It seemed like we were protesting, literally sitting on the driveway of the halls, whilst passer-bys (mainly people that finished dinner) gave us quizzical looks. All we needed were signs that said “Set us free” haha.
Melissa’s birthday dinner/bowling
Okay, I’m gonna write dot points from now on, don’t deny it, u blog readers love dot points rite?? Instead of essays type posts…
- Pizza Hut for dinner: Radika, Yan, me, Melissa, Henry, Sarah, Grace and Thu
- Ate heaps and heaps (Grace says more than Janice but that’s a close call), pizza was nice and so was the macaroni.
- Cake, yum yum
- Grace’s so called ESL language was hilarious: in lecture, Grace pronounced enamel as animal and it took me and Henry a long time to work out why Grace was talking about animals in dent class rofl. And then at the party, she called the chocolate mousse something along the lines of “meuls” lol. We were laughing our heads of. Grace, you’re cool and funny!!
- Aww…Mel’s first official b’day party and it was nice to celebrate it with her. Her pressie was a cute (x100) sesame street jumper.
- Pictures!! Lol
- And…drum roll, the moment I will never forget >> Melissa’s prank call. Details:
Sigh, as she found out, I am a gullible person. So she decided to prank/trick me, as she’s done sooo many times in the past few weeks. Henry drove the first batch of people (inc Melissa) to bowling and me, Grace and Yan were left at pizza hut to fend for ourselves. As we were talking about how we ended up in Bendigo, I receive a call from Melissa. She goes to explain the situation > Henry’s car has a flat > they are stuck at Halls > we’ll have to call a cab to get back > they can’t seem to fix the flat.
All Grace and Yan hear is “What?!?!” and “You are stuck at halls? We’re stuck at pizza hut” and “Are you sure you’re not kidding?”.
She was utterly convincing and even mentioned that I should ask Radika, which I believed. So after minutes of panic, she started laughing hard, sigh…another trap. Haha, I still laugh thinking about it!! - Bowling was random…the people next to us were at 100 and they were only half way through. Our highest score (at the end) was 80sumthing. I kinda “flew” lol, like Melissa did. Radika started talking about songs, yay!!
- We all went home kinda on a high and totally random…it was late but almost everyone still went online to chat lol.
Thursday
- Early start for prac class >> talk about everyone joining our prac group. The was about ¾ of the dent people, only supposed to be half. Owell, it was fun anyways.
- I love prac, so much fun and messy.
- Played with cement thingy. Ooh made a maxillary (upper teeth) mould…it turned our great!!
- After made a zillion calls to arrange for a cab to take us to the train station to go HOME!!
- Train: fun, laughter and songs. Grace and I kidnapped Melissa’s ipod, Radika shared random songs (she likes Teenagers too, wow!), Thu went to sleep half way through and Melissa decided to tie my shoes together using many different knots, which took ages to untie lol. Sigh…joys of train rides.
Friday
- Went to officeworks to photocopy stuff, went a bit nuts in there > no customers, only me and Grace talking and laughing
- oh, the walk to the glen station was funny as. We went out of officeworks and it started to spit so we put on our hoods. So imagine 2 people with hoods on and slippers carefully and slowly walking down springvale road >> we looked like homeless people lol. And then Grace’s slipper broke. So we were contemplating what to do. At the end, I decided to take off my slippers with her and we will both walk to the train station barefooted while it was raining, adding to our authentic “hobo” look lol. We almost met up with Brian and Victor , which would be embarrassing. Strange day.
- More study
Saturday/Sunday
- Kids church, yay…nice to be back with the awesome kids church team
- Awesome message, God’s been doing a number of cool and faith building things the past week!!
- Relax and …. Study
- Went to Bendigo on sun nite with Grace
- Sun night: Went on msn and talked with Yan. We got extremely bored so we decided to communicate with each other in a more old fashion way. As we can both see each other’s window (from across the road) we flashlighted each other though our window. So funny. Blink blink blink rofl.
Monday
- Met with the “gang” which was just the dent guys. As I was walking they started talking about kangaroos and wrestling, so I said that it was too violent then they changed to talking about ponies lol. Sigh…until I saw Yan so that I can have a proper conversation without kangaroos and boxing and car wrestling.
- Nice and short oral health lecture
- Walked back and grabbed some food from the halls
- David Trinh and Yan came over to see my room and we ended up talking about random things for like 2 hours. David missed his lunch lol.
- Public health lecture was surprisingly okay, and Mackay lecture has finally upgraded with an aircon!!!
- Went to dinner at halls. Talked with a random guy asking me and Yan all these halls related questions (Yan did fine, but I don’t stay in halls). Actually, my responses were okay hehe. He ended up being the ressie halls team leader (scary!!) Dinner was nice, yummy!
- Sneaked off back to house ooh and studied for the assessment task, which decided to crash half-way through (some sort of maintenance thingy)
- Did the flashlight thingy with Yan again. Haha its funny everytime I do it.
- Slept late
Today
- Met the girls and walked to Uni, short but partially confusing lecture.
Well, that’s my week so far. Gonna eat soon>> halls here I come hehe
