life begun ever since i was born...or has it jst started??!??!

damn! u'd think dat since i hv NO labs dis wk i'd b all cruisy n everything... i really need a wake up call! 2 bad i don't hv an alarm when i need it most.

monday i had 2 go n give amanda all dat contracts n stuff as u do so dat i'm officially working. den, since i had nothing 2 do til 1:00, i sat down n had a coffee n made notes like i neva had b4 (literally...u don't know how scary it is wen i left 2 find out dat da originally blank white A4 paper was crammed up wif these blue lines dat made themselves into words...) den quickly left for Chem120 n saw Sophie there, n met John. da lecture for chem 120...let's jst say dat i'v found a cure for insomnia. den another hour break b4 i had another class... jst ran up n down da library trying 2 find sum bks, n found sum of dem. then it was biosci n medsci... man i love these lectures! da lecturers make everything sound so interesting evn if da truth was dat u had all these horrible names 2 rememba!

tuesday was more of da same wifout dat coffee part. i spent da time running up n down trying 2 find bks again, n actually found dem all dis time (YES! n she scores!) oh, n dey had 2 check our biosci course manuals bcoz ppl hv b going 2 different streams n dey were complaining about how sum streams get full n others r semi-full. well, if u had thought better, mayb u could've done what u did wif chem120 n actually made da lecture available in 2 rooms!!! who tld u 2 not do dat since so many other ppl wanted dat stream??? jst as i was leaving uni, i saw nikki (n her boyfriend) again. dey look so good 2gether. neway, i tld her 2 c me at work n all dat. she lend me her iPod so i could listen 2 sum songs her boyfriend composed. dey sound really nice. i jst wish i could copy it. on, n at chem120, john left da lecture suddenly coz he wasn't feeling well. i asked sophie if he was ok, n she sed he was fine.

wednesday was SO GOOD. i only had chem210 n i asked my lecturer how 2 do da lab n he cleared things up pretty nicely. i still struggle a bit, but hey, at least now i hv an idea~!!! then i had til 12:00 b4 i went 2 phil105, so i went around checking emails n things. phil105 was pretty kewl. ok, more lame jokes, but i had fun.
den i saw daria... i swear i was so lost at da time tho. she yelled my name about 5 times b4 i actually shoke my head n looked at her, n was like, 'Daria!!!' my head must've been vacuumed or something. we jst kinda stood there at the stair of da library n chatted... come 2 think of it, i can't evn rememba what we chatted about.
at about 2:00, i went 2 work evn tho i was supposed 2 start at 5:00. it's not like nebody mind (aside frm my parents, dat is, but dey so don't count!). luke, da team leader 4 da day, was such a sweetheart! he explained *everything* evn if it was sumthing i should know already n stuff. nikki came 2 visit me a bit later, n he didn't evn mind dat i was chatting wif her half da time (of course, we weren't really all dat busy n stuff).

n thursday was pretty kewl 2. amanda rang me 2 say dat there was sumthing wrong wif da account number i gave her, so i went 2 da cafe n fix it up. saw sam n everyone else there. i had a brownie (it was really nice. if nebody want me 2 recommend sumthing, da brownie's IT!!!) n i headed back 2 study. later, when i had finished my brownie n was *STILL* writing down notes, Elly brought me a hot chocolate, evn tho i didn't evn ask 4 one. so there i was sitting in a corner drinking a hot choc n studying. it was really nice.
chem120, n still no john. once again, i asked sophie if he needed ne notes n things, but she didn't know coz she hasn't seen him either. n 4 medsci we switched lecturers. da new lecturer is such a funny guy.

friday... ah finally. da school wk's ended. which was great 4 me coz despite da lack of events (i'm sure we've all noticed how every single one of my entry seem 2 say da same thing :P), i was really exhausted. i'd fall asleep in da lectures if i didn't know i hv 2 make up 4 it later which would b worse.

n den dere's 2day. now 2day wasn't very interesting (but then, none of da days were, so what am i talking about?) i woke up at 9:00, had a shower, went 2 work, n met jess n tai. tai jst began work a wk b4 me, n jess has been working 4 eons. jess wasn't like da rest of da team leader tho. she assumed i know a lot n helps me when i ask. she also gave me Sam's band so i could run da till. she n elly kept an eye on me still, tho, n i was very glad coz 2day was INSANE. it was evn worse dan last wk! we had a whole long line n evn wif me n tai we didn't evn hv time 2 clean da tables, n more than five ppl had 2 wait fifteen minutes for their food n stuff... i think at the end of da day, it went pretty well tho, coz most of da ppl seem 2 c dat we were busy. i was so relieved when i left...until i walked out n realised i left my apron there -_-;;; once again, i've proved myself 2 b an absent-mind idiotic klutz.

now...highlights at lectures... i can't rememba most of them nowadays...but i know there r sum...

medsci lecturer Associate Professor Roger Booth introducing us 2 da topic - fight-or-flight response n da alarm response - , starting wif da brain. he gave us da slide of Woody Allen n da quote 'The brain is my second favourite organ...' then Roger added, 'I think that's why his hand's in his pocket.'
then trying 2 give us an example of alarm response: 'that's the same reaction you'd experience if i say *claps* we're gonna have a test now!' n da relaxation response: 'think of a 2 o'clock lecture after a big lunch and what you want to do (n our lecture was at 4:00!!)'
n my favourite...
talking about fight-or-flight response, then saying he's read a book by Robert Sapolsky that talks about it.
'Robert S. talked about dis response in terms of the four F's:
-Fight
-Flight
-Fright
-Sex'
*little bit of chuckle from da class*

'i tld u, it is friday afternoon...'
