Day 6: Getting there

Wow, day 6. I can't believe that I've been able to last thing long really. It really doesn't sound much actually, but for me, it's something. I hope to keep it going for a couple more days, if not weeks. Let's just see how things go eh.

The exam timetables just came out today. My exams are on the 5, 6, 14, and 21 of June. Relatively spaced out, if not, too spaced out. They pretty much span the whole session of the exam period which I was hoping didnt happen. I really wanted to be able to get exams out of the way fast. I guess it gives me a lot of time to revise though. I really wonder how much revision I can actually do before I just get sick of it though. I'll have to properly put it down on a calender to really see how much time I have between each of them, and how it correlates to swot vac, etc. But for now, I guess I'm relatively pleased about it.

But that's enough from me for now. I've still got some classes to go to. I'm at the uni at the moment.

P.S. please excuse the foul language in the post below. I was angry at the time, hahaha. But yeah. I'm no longer angry. I don't seem to be able to hold my anger for too long periods of time unfortunately hahaha.

Day 5: My ANGER for Business Finance Staff at Melb Uni

I'm so angry. Ok, I may not look it, but I'm swearing behind the keyboard of this blog. Well I was swearing. Not anymore. Not as much at least. But I'm fucking angry.

Today I was given back my first Business Finance Assignment. Everything seemed to be in order, apart from the fact that literally a third of my assignment had been 'lost' and so I was given ZERO for it. Bullshit. Abso-fucking-lutely bullshit.

Alright. So I was pretty calm at first. Because I had TRUST in the Business Finance staff at that point that they would help find the 'lost' part of my assignment and in turn settle the dispute accordingly. But no. They had to be stupid about it. Most specifically, Howard Chan had to be stupid about it.

So here's what I did as soon as I got my assignment. I wrote an email to Howard Chan disputing my results. I received full marks for the parts which were not 'lost' and yet still received zero for the 'lost' part which was multiple choice. I mean, seriously, how the fuck can anyone get zero for multiple choice. It's bullshit.

So I ask him about what I have to do. And what does he tell me? He tells me that I need to photocopy the section of my assignment which was lost. Ok. How the FUCK DO I DO THAT? How am I supposed to photocopy something which I handed in, and YOU PEOPLE LOST? That's absurd. Is that just stupidity on your part Howard Chan? To actually ask me to photocopy something which I don't even have a tangible grasp of? Get a grip of what you're actually asking of me man. Seriously.

Ok. So now I wait for Howard's reply. I had to be civil about the way I questioned him about the photocopying. I said 'I'm confused about how I am supposed to photocopy something that I have already handed in?' He seems rather adamant to not help me at all. I'm appalled. I'll have to see him tomorrow face-to-face to contend what I think is an injustice.

I think I reserve myself the privilege to get the marks that I deserve, don't you think?

And this withdrawal from MSN is also not helping me ventilate haha. There's no one really to talk to about it, apart from myself, or my blog.

Actually, I'm not really as angry as I was while writing this. I guess while I wrote it, it spurred some further anger inside of me against Howard Chan. I already didn't really seem to like his general approach to life and his dirty jokes. They seem rather obscene during the lectures he gives. But that's my opinion. Feel free to have your own, depending on your own experiences with the man. Or lack of manhood therein.

Day 3 of my REHAB

Ok. It's day 3. Nothing really exciting really, I don't have too much time to talk about much, since I've also got a lot of study to do. But I'm feeling good. No MSN feels weird at times, but in the end, it feels somewhat liberating.

I finally got contacts today. For the first time (duh). They feel good. I'm wearing them now. As you can tell by my short sentences, this blog is going to be rushed to talk about quite a few things.

I watched 'As Good as it Gets' again today on TV. Damn I love that movie. For some reason, I don't really know why. I just love Jack Nicholson (which some of you may already know if you've been reading my previous blog posts). With this movie, maybe it's because I watched it a lot when I was younger, so perhaps watching it again gives me some sort of nostalgia. I can't help but feeling good whenever I watch it. If you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend it.

New episodes of The Office, Scrubs, Naruto and Smallville have just been downloaded last night. I can't wait to watch them. I really need to schedule my time well in order to be able to watch them and still get a lot of work done. It's going to be a difficult process, but just like giving up MSN, it's going to be done.
