Legal.

In my Introduction to the Australian Legal System we have open book exams.
There is a group that sit together and “cheat” by sharing their notes and whispering which is kind of against the rules.

I was opposed to this until they started talking about driving to and from Uni.

Background: to go through the tolls on the highways etc there is something called an ‘e-tag’ which is pre-paid and you place it on the inside of your windscreen and instead of paying with coins at the tolls on the road it just beeps and charges you and its convenient and time effective etc.

One of the girls was convinced it was called an Emu-tag.

EMU TAG.

hahahahahah

HAAHAHHAHAHAA


Sufjan.

I first heard Sufjan Stevens on cd when I was in year 11, 2004.

I got to see him live, tonight, 29 May 2012 for the first time ever.

In-fucking-credible. 

Nico Muhly, (this is where the tumblr person inside me comes out) totally loves Sufjan, you could tell by the way he spoke to him in-between songs.

Bryce Dessner - you are a shoe-gaze master.

It was beautiful, moving, educational (ha) and mesmerising.

        


Beautiful.

Oh dear.

So for the past 35 minutes this girl was shamelessly flirting with her make friend but he wasn’t really responding. She would tap him with her pen, take his laptop and use her Facebook to write up statuses and constantly touch him on the shoulder. He responded by Facebook searching a hot Asian babe and left the pictures open so when she took the laptop for her own use she would see the pictures.
She saw the pictures and she made quite the audible ‘hmph!’
And then stormed out ensuring her best friend followed her.
He’s just sitting there smiling.


Chances.

What are the chances that the power goes out in this lecture and we can leave early and tutorials are cancelled so I can go to work and have fun?


Chances.

What are the chances that Lady Gaga caught a plane to Sydney in secret and came to university to interrupt this lecture and be like ‘sup babes lets go eat macaroons and drink maccas coke and go on a shopping spree!’ ?
