L'University - troisieme annee

A lot of people are annoying me at the moment.

The worst part of it is, I have no idea why. It's just like, I've gotten to this stage where I don't really care if all those meaningless people hang around with me anymore. Now that I think about it, that's probably why I don't go to the law library anymore. I've been there for an hour so far, and I was hiding in a corner and correcting homework.

I actually thought people would care about my existence more once uni started up again.

In keeping with my recent predictions, these ones were completely WRONG.

A lot of my close friends have made an attempt to find me. I appreciate it more than I'll probably ever let you know. Publicly at least. I remember that, and I will act accordingly. I don't forget kindness.

As for others. Well, I can't say it's completely unexpected. 99% of the time I'm the one organising things anyway. And, being completely brutally honest, which I supposedly am most of the time anyway, I haven't inflated my ego so far as to believe that I actually matter in these people's lives all that much.

Again, I will act accordingly. I'm really sick of being nice to people. You give a little, people take a bit more. Again and again. Never give any back. I guess I'm just sick of being used. I'm not even offended at people not talking to me anymore. Because I know as soon as they do, they'll probably want something from me.

If there's one thing in life I can never get over, it's people that treat people that are better than them like demi-gods, and then treating people that are actually good to them like dirt. I think it's because I'm usually in the treating people nice category.

Anyway, apart from that, uni's been fairly good so far. I've been getting a fair few phone calls and stuff. Obviously not from the aforementioned dodgy people, but from people that matter. Also, I seem to have built a better raport with Irene. She was always an awkward one for me to deal with, but I've finally found the awesome person that I think I subconsciously knew was there all along. I guess it's also to do with me becoming a better person also.

I've been driving and carpooling her. Driving is surprisingly awesome. Like, I caught the bus today, and man was it annoying. Late, hot, slow and overcrowded.

Speaking of overcrowded, I've never seen uni so packed before. Ever. I swear they're taking more students.

More on the Sydney trip later. Ceebs right now.

Word of the Day: Annoyed

It seemed like a good idea at the time

Oh, how I laughed when I saw a guy with a cast on his wrist walking around with a t-shirt saying "It seemed like a good idea at the time." Presumably he had broken his wrist, or something similar, or maybe he's just wearing it to go with the t-shirt. More likely though that he is wearing the t-shirt to make light of his injury. Or perhaps he's clueless, and doesn't realise how ironic, and funny, his t-shirt is.

On a side note, this saying is like, the story of my life. Before I do something that turns out to be stupid, I reason it out in my mind, and it seems to make logical sense before I do it. I like it when things make logical sense. Then, afterwards, I realise how stupid it was, and wonder how I ever thought that it was a good idea in the first place. Usually, in hindsight, I can't find one reason why it would've turned out good.

But I digress. Where I saw this t-shirt is the key to this post.

See, I was Boxing Day shopping at Chadstone.

Yes, I was at Chadstone again. That was, I think, the third time in two weeks. I'm becoming a bit of an addict.

It's funny, because:
a) I vowed never to go Boxing Day shopping, because of it's sheer pointlessness and crazy number of people, and
b) I ended up buying something that I'm fairly sure cost that much normally anyway.

I bought a tank top from Mossimo. So worth driving 30 minutes and swimming through a sea of people. The queues outside some stores were just ridiculous. There was like a dragon of people outside adidas. I have a general phobia of crowds in places where there shouldn't be crowds, like shopping centres. I think there were already not that many people during the time that we went (around 7:30 p.m.) Can't imagine what it would be like earlier.

Sarah got an awesome Calvin Klein handbag for 40% off, which was quite swell. I found it, too. Go me. My mother also bought a Guess handbag, for half price, which I also found. Go me x 2.

But yeah. As I said, not much to be gained. In fact, one could argue, there's a lot to be lost. Such as money.

Not a bad outing though. Quite interesting, especially observing how many more people turn up on Boxing Day as compared to pre-Christmas. Weird. So many more people today. Might go next year with someone closer to my age.
