All I do is eat.

Hah! I've figured out a way to stop me from eating too much and gaining the weight that I don't need this winter!

Fasting!

Heee ;-P

I'm feeling way better today and my response paper is finally looking OK (I just need to come to the Tuesday lecture and check if what I wrote is what I'm supposed to write about...). I got my sleep last night :) :)

Oh, Jo called last night, turns out I don't have dance practice 4 days per week. I have one tomorrow and another one on Wednesday. I'm not sure about next week, I've got to look at the schedule.

Umm. I have a bunch of new movies (well, not new 'new' but movies that I haven't seen before) but I can't watch it until I get all my assignments done! I can't wait for my mid semester break :) :)

Ta for now

My response paper doesn't seem to be responding?

I change my mind about not updating...the weekend has been very stressful for me and I just need to relax...

I'm supposed to write my response paper for MDIA102. I have been trying to write since Friday but so far I haven't even finish writing my introduction... I'm super worried right now. Haven't slept since Friday. My presentation is on Wednesday and I have two more assignments due the week after that. I've been eating a lot and drinking way too much coffee. Uni life is not so great for me right now. I hope things will get better after the mid trimester break!

Anyway, despite all the stress caused by Uni, I still had a pretty awesome weekend with the girls. We all got together on Friday night to celebrate Che Nazira's 21st birthday! That night we just ate, talk and went crazy :) Took loads of photos and videos :)

Cake!

:)

Gangsta!
Last night, we went to see 'Strike percussion' somewhere in town. I forgot the name of the place. Initially, I wasn't supposed to go since I didn't buy the ticket for that performance. I bought 'Romeo and Juliet' instead and that one is in August. But Laila emailed Jo a few weeks ago telling her that she accidentally booked two extra tickets and was wondering if I wanted to go and I immediately said yes :) Strike percussion was amazing! I can't even find the words to describe how I felt when I saw it. But yeah, I don't regret going at all even though I have a response paper to write.

So, that is basically how my I spent my Friday and Saturday. It's Sunday today and I think I'll be in my room struggling to write my response paper. Thank God class is at 2 p.m tomorrow! I can finally get some sleep before the week starts! It's going to be hell of a busy week. Dance practice is from Monday to Thursday until the performance. But that's OK since I really enjoy dancing...it really makes me forget about other stuff.

I think...

I'm going to stop blogging for a while. I need a break. I really want to write about the things that's been happening these past few weeks but I can't. I don't want to hurt anyone. I tried a few times but can't seem to find the courage to click on that button that would publish the post.

Dance

The Chinese dance is much harder than I thought. When I first looked at the video, I thought "This shouldn't be that hard" but it is! I'm still having problems with the double jump at the end and I can't seem to make my fan to open and close gracefully. I hope I'll get better at it soon! I have Mangunatip practice later today. It's been so long since I last practiced so I really hope I don't forget the steps! I hope the boys will show up today...Yesterday's Indian dance had to be canceled because no boys showed up!

4.09 a.m

I fell asleep last night...wait, no, I decided to just go to sleep last night even though I was very conscious that I have to prepare for my media tutorial. Media102 scares the hell out of me! While the lectures are very interesting (you should see my notes!), the assessment part is too much for me. Thank god I'm only doing 3 courses this semester...
I have to pass media I have to pass media I have to pass media I have to pass media....

My sleeping pattern is becoming weirder and weirder. Some nights I don't sleep at all, some nights I sleep but would wake up at 3-4 a.m. I'm not sure what's wrong with me. But so far, I still manage to wake up early so I guess it's OK.

I'm participating in a new type of dance, the chinese dance. We've just started practicing yesterday and so far it is OK. I still have problems in some of the moves though, especially the part where I have to jump twice to the side. I hope I get that one right soon! The girls have been very patient in teaching me all the steps! I have another dance practice for chinese dance today and mangunatip tomorrow :)

I really really need to start on preparing for media tutorial tomorrow.
Wish me luck!

Just be happy for me, that is all I ask.

I was smoking hot last night... ;-)

One week into my 2nd semester and I'm still not ready! I've been playing way too much and now I need to start focusing again! So far, this is how my schedule for this semester looks like:

I still have one more tutorial that I need to insert in this schedule. It will be on a Thursday but the time is not confirmed yet. I have a lot of empty slots and I hope I will use it wisely this time. Oh, Jonathan finally agreed to let me take MDIA102 instead of CUST131. Thank you Jonathan. I know I will probably regret not listening to you but I really appreciate that you let me do this. I will try my best to score MDIA102. It's going to be a lot of work, I know, but at least I won't blame you if I screw it up.

We had "Rugby night" last night. All the TESOL students (and their friends) got together and watched Rugby at the bar up in Uni. It was really nice :) Since I am not a fan of rugby, I decided to stay outside and barbecue the food. It was a challenge getting the chicken and meat to cook! At first we thought it was because of the wind but it wasn't! It was actually the gas. Anyway, everything that could go wrong that night went wrong but in the end we managed to cook the food (not all).

--- I actually had so much more to write about but halfway through writing this entry, my smoke alarm went off. I had to wake Joey up because I freaked out. The stupid alarm won't stop making this annoying loud sound. It took us at least 10 minutes to figure out how to make the stupid thing stop. We took down the smoke alarm, took out the battery and now I have "go to reception and report to maintenance" in my list of things to do. Great! I can't believe I pay $210 every week for this place.

I have to go now. I need to take a shower, I still smell of barbecue smoke from last night.
