hello. i am blogging now, after a whole week, because this entire week i haven't even had time to THINK. I tried to blog during the weekend which didn't feel like a weekend, but the entry got erased, wonderfully enough, before I could post it.
Anyway, I shall try to recount this week, which has been a frightfully expensive one. I've spent almost $150 in this week. Got the Dirty Dancing soundtrack! And saw School of Rock. Hopefully I can catch Mona Lisa Smile or Scary Movie 3 this weekend. If my dad gives me some more money maybe I can get Chit to go with me to HMV so I can buy the Coldplay calendar which is on sale for 10 bucks, and the POTC vcd for $16 which I think is pretty damn cheap but apparently isn't really cheap by most standards. But actually I think I should save up for the DVD instead - actor commentaries etc.

Let me recount my week, backwards.

Today was the second day of lectures - had Econs, History, Math, Civics. The econs lecturers are the arts lecturers, and they kinda suck. But basically right now the econs department sucks because Jamie Reeves left, and everyone is lamenting that. And the hist lecturer, Mr Kwok, is really gay but seems quite cute. But the seniors say he doesn't give good notes. So basically I'm going to be using Chit for her Econs and History lecture notes a lot. But atleast we have Sowden for Econs tutorial and Rolleson for European History so basically International History and Econs lectures are gonna be the problems. Will make full use of Chit's stuff in any case. After lectures, the 1B Mark and Tze San and I went to Ikea to join our OG cos everyone except Humans people had finished their lectures earlier, but we had Civics because McConnell wanted to talk to us. Anyway he told us about a play we're going to see next Friday, and our whole class signed up. And we have this buddy system, where people in pairs are 'mentored' by people from the senior class. Anyway, mine's not a pair, because there's 19 people in my class and therefore there's a treble - which is me, the other Mark, and Vaish. Mark's fine, but Vaish is a pain the ass. And I hope she never sees this blog. Anyway, went to Ikea, had a burger which was basically cheese and mustard and bread, and onion rings, and listened to Mark's theory that I should marry Bharat because he's a brahmin and I'm a brahmin. Then I was trying to buy the stupid hinge thing for my desk, and the Customer Services woman was so fucking patronising. She was like "all our hinges are round", "we have so many hinges, which EXACTLY do you want". And stupid me, I had taken a picture but I left my camera upstairs with the rest of the OG. Anyway she sent me upstairs to find out the exact fucking name of what I was looking for, where the much nicer woman photocopied a page out of her reference book for me to show the woman downstairs. And I take it down and she's like "ooooh that's not a hinge, dear". What fucking ever. I'm not a damn carpenter, I was describing the thing to her, and it looks like a hinge to me. Anyway, she searched for about 20 minutes, and came up with the thing, and I paid for it and a bright blue CD case. By that time my OG had bought chairs for Jie Ming and Chiara, and then we bought them bears that say "Best Mum" and "Best Dad". Which is coupley although they hate they idea cos they're not a couple, but it was cute and sort of appropriate for our OGLs, so we paid then went over to Anchorpoint to look for cards. I left from there to come home for a while, because I need to breathe. And now I'm typing this damn long report on my week. And now I have to go back to school. More tonight. Hopefully I don't die by then.
