dad's here, and so are assignments and stress and some of the most extreme anger i've felt in awhile.
time after time, temptations befall, as they do. it's one line this time, it may be several next or the next or the next. not that that's anything new anyway.
i may have said one of the most regrettable three-words; but, the anger has yet to dissipate. oh, and also, i cant tell the difference between indifference and what not. maybe that's just because anger takes over almost every other emotion in the body, including pain. with those nails digging into my palm so deep till my knuckles turn numb, the resentment lingers, and i feel no pain. only the unusual drive to attack. i may have looked like some insane woman charging through the city with a possibly pitiful-looking boy tailing me. i know i had ever so many weird oh-my-god-what-a-freak stares.. who cares?
the feeling of knowing that what i do is either never going to be good enough, or i've put in too much effort only to find it going down the drain is worse than excruciating.
fuck. what do you think i am? some iron woman? do you know how much pressure i'm already under? i'm sitting at the edge waiting for something large to explode at home, i'm silently tolerating the little things, i'm trying to keep a happy face in the presence of friends.
this time may be one too many.

23 books waiting for me to check out all over campus. i feel suffocated already hence with light curiosity accompanied by complete randomness, i entered this site.. it actually says pretty true things abt me. i shall highlight the bits that i think are true
<lj-cut text="the reason for whimsicality">
Gemini, the sign of the Twins, is dual-natured, elusive, complex and contradictory. On the one hand it produces the virtue of versatility, and on the other the vices of two-facedness and flightiness. The sign is linked with Mercury, the planet of childhood and youth, and its subjects tend to have the graces and faults of the young. When they are good, they are very attractive; when they are bad they are more the worse for being the charmers they are. Like children they are lively, and happy, if circumstances are right for them, or egocentric, imaginative and restless. They take up new activities enthusiastically but lack application, constantly needing new interests, flitting from project to project as apparently purposelessly as a butterfly dancing from flower to flower (how i like the description!). To them life is a game which must always be full of fresh moves and continuous entertainment, free of labor and routine. Changing horses in the middle of the stream is another small quirk in the Gemini personality which makes decision making, and sticking to a decision, particularly hard for them. Since they lack the quality of conscientiousness, they are apt to fight a losing battle in any attempts they make to be moral (in the widest sense of the word)(i would say, trying to fight FOR this statement "facing reality is a weakness" is pretty crazy, coz its ultimately gonna be at the losing end.har). Their good qualities are attractive and come easily to them. They are affectionate, courteous, kind, generous, and thoughtful towards the poor and suffering - provided none of the activities resulting from expressing these traits interferes too greatly with their own lives and comforts. They quickly learn to use their outward attractiveness to gain their own ends, and when striving for these they will use any weapon in their armory - unscrupulous lying, and cunning evasiveness; escaping blame by contriving to put it on other people, wrapped up in all the charm they can turn on. In their better moments they may strive to be honest and straightforward, but self-interest is almost always the victor. If things go against them, they sulk like children. Also like children, they demand attention, admiration, and the spending on them of time, energy and money, throwing tantrums if they don't get what they want. They reflect every change in their surroundings, like chameleons, and can become pessimistic, sullen, peevish and materialistically self-centered if circumstances force them to struggle in any way. If the conditions of life become really adverse, their strength of will may desert them entirely. They can become uncertain of themselves, either withdrawn, or nervously excitable worriers, sullenly discontented, hard and irritable, with "Self" looming ever larger in their struggles. On the other hand their versatility can make them very adaptable, adjusting themselves to control the world around them by means of their inherent ingenuity and cleverness. Most Gemini have a keen, intuitive, sometimes brilliant intelligence and they love cerebral challenges.(look at me and my MSN philosophical debates. *pant pant* there's more than a handful!) But their concentration, though intense for a while, does not last. Their mental agility and energy give them a voracious appetite for knowledge from youth onward, though they dislike the labor of learning. They easily grasp almost everything requiring intelligence and mental dexterity, and are often able to marry manual skills to their qualities of mind. Their intellect is strongly analytical and sometimes gives them so great an ability to see both sides of a question that they vacillate and find it hard to make decisions.(that explains my single-minded conversations. i feel that all the time - how tiring. but that is better than boredom.) But their intelligence may very well be used to control and unify the duality of their natures into a most efficient unit. If faced with difficulties, they have little determination to worry at a problem until they find a solution - they will pick the brains of others(eh, what? little determination to worry at a problem? i think thats another lie). In their intellectual pursuits, as in other departments of their lives, they risk becoming dilettantes, losing themselves in too many projects which they follow until they become difficult. In love they are fickle, not intentionally so but because of the basic inconsistency of their emotional nature, which has an amoral aspect to it. Their is a side to Geminians which can become deeply involved emotionally, and another, hostile to sentimentality, which stands back from a romantic situation, laughing at it and the protagonists in it, including themselves while analyzing it intellectually. Gemini subjects take nothing seriously(i thot i take thing TOO seriously.). So, in love, in spite of their temporary depth of feeling, for the intensity of involvement lasts only while it is new, they are superficial, light-hearted, cool, flirtatious and unimaginative in the understanding of the pain they may give others. They like intrigue, the excitement of the chase, but once they have caught the prey, they lose interest and look around for the next creature to pursue. In less serious situations they make witty, entertaining companions, good acquaintances rather than friends. Even at their worst they are never dull - there is usually playfulness below the surface, and they can be brilliant conversationalists - but they can also be quarrelsome, prattlers, boasters, liars and cheats. (whoa! hold your horses! i think that whole chunk of junk is pretty generalised. they may be traced elements, but never NEVER outstanding.) Geminians can be successful in many walks of life though their general characteristics tend to make them unreliable . They are often skilled manipulators of language, in speech and writing, and may be: debaters, diplomats (though in politics they are more interested in theory than practice), orators, preachers (brilliant rather than profound), teachers, authors, poets, journalists, or lawyers. In business any work which combines quick-wittedness with a change of surroundings suits them; working as a traveling salesperson, brokerage work, or dealing with the public in any capacity is right up their alley. (woohoo! im doing the right degree!)Because they are dispassionate, logical, rational and analytical they make good scientists, especially in the fields of medicine and astronomy. They can also make excellent members of the Armed Forces, for they take danger no more seriously than anything else and can earn themselves a reputation for devotion to duty and heroic acts. In the arts they may excel in music, painting and sculpture. They make good psychic researchers of a sceptical kind. Negatively they can degenerate into confidence tricksters, thieves and even adepts in the black arts. Possible Health Concerns...<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Gemini rules the arms, shoulders, hands, lungs and nervous system and its subjects need to beware of diseases and accidents associated with the upper part of the body, as well as nervous and pulmonary disorders such as catarrh and bronchitis. Their mercurial nature may also affect a constitution which is not strong if it is put under strain. You are prone to taking unnecessary risks and wind up harming yourself or others in the process. Sometimes pursuing pleasure too vigorously could also qualify as risk taking.(yup. thats true. i was always asthma-prone - coughing up protein balls - n have a faulty bicuspid valve in the heart. i might just collapse and die one day - blackouts are pretty often nowadays)
LIKES (tell me abt it! :D) Talking Novelty and the unusual Variety in life Multiple projects all going at once Reading
DISLIKES Feeling tied down Learning, such as school Being in a rut Mental inaction Being alone (eh? i crave it too much sometimes.)
PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to our personalities. When these traits are suppressed, or unrealized, problems will arise. However, with astrology we can examine the problem and assess the proper solution based on the sun sign characteristics. As a Gemini you may see things below that really strike home. Try the solution, you most likely will be amazed at the results. If you find yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below, it is because you are failing to express the positive. -PROBLEM: Being superficial could be a big problem for you in your overall relationships with others and also in getting ahead on many jobs where you must endeavor to dig deep and learn something thoroughly. This is the worst Gemini trait of all. SOLUTION: To make a conscious effort to control this trait is the best approach to take to this problem. If you make a commitment to something or someone you should mentally force yourself to keep that commitment where possible. This will be hard but it can, and has been, accomplished by many under this sign. -PROBLEM: Not one who cares for peace and quiet, you create your own problems with loved ones by picking arguments or tale carrying from one to the other then stand back and enjoy the show. SOLUTION: While this may relieve your boredom, it is something that you should not let happen as it could easily go out of control and cost you the love and companionship that you desire. When you feel like doing this it would be better to take a long walk and let the feelings pass. -PROBLEM: Boredom is one of your biggest problems (wow. how true!! i overwork my brain sometimes)and you could easily fall into mischief if you do not find ways to alleviate it. SOLUTION: You have a great many creative talents and if you put these to work for you in some sort of hobby or project you will find you do not have time to be bored, also, other physical activities should be considered: workouts at the gym, racketball, hiking, etc.. -PROBLEM: You could have health problems brought on by overindulgence of food, drink, or the night life which only gets worse as you age. SOLUTION: Tame your urges and save the party times for weekends only and then try not to overdo it. By keeping everything down to a mild roar you may not have to fight off diseases such as obesity or cirrhosis of the liver. -PROBLEM: You may have the problem of not being able to keep a spouse or a lover due to your pursuit of the opposite sex. SOLUTION: Cultivate the habit of not flirting with every attractive person you see and make up your mind to be a true and loving spouse, or don't commit until you are really ready to do this. </lj-cut>
wow. but this isnt the first time i read something attempting to describe me and go "WOW! that's so true!" ok. i shall take a stroll up and down towering libraries of books. in the mean time, back to blogspot.. stay tuned guys!

i feel jolly. i just came out of an exam without studying at all for it - i sorta had an impulse to revisit that anxiety/suspense-waiting-feeling for the paper not knowing what its gonna read. impulsively stupid eh? well, i think, in fact, i aced that paper, compared to people who studied all night yesterday. we'll see.
i discovered my meaning of motivated procrastination. let me explain - to procrastinate is to 'leave it for later and not think about it now'. well, in my definition of it, i wil put it aside but still think about it. actually, i would think a lot about it. it starts the brain thinking - mind you, this is the time where all the organising and best ideas are born. and because the ideas are utterly brilliant, it motivates and bugs the self to want to sit down and materialise those thoughts, so much that the self cant stop reinforcing those thoughts even in her dreams (the poor brain never gets sleep). of coz, the self would be too lazy or too occupied or too distracted (for most of my time, this is the case) to materialise things in advance. but at least those thoughts are retained up there by the power of this intangible force called the MEMORY. thanx to that force, jamie is able to live through the busiest, most stressful and sickly week of her uni life and still have a life.
wow. what a beautiful paragraph. one of these rare times where i happen to be thinking and am in front of a computer. compatible for once.
with certain was-bugging things happening now, i ought to be depressed and disturbed. but im so full of energy and so happy. i wonder where all that came from. maybe my brain has learnt to convert negative energy into productive energy automatically. how smart! if i said i never felt so happy before, that would be a lie.
I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

how is the disease going?
Thami says:
bah
~wüÑD3RLîçH//schnell,schnell kartoffel kopF+} says:
the disease is getting better. i have coughed up huge balls of protein (you geddit right?) and the head is somewhat leveled now
Thami says:
wonderful imagery
AND
Thami says:
be sure to write all these brilliant ideas of yours down
Thami says:
i sometimes feel profoundly inspired about something, then discuss it with someone and consequently forget it
~wüÑD3RLîçH//schnell,schnell kartoffel kopF+} says:
yup its all down in my journal. i hate it esp when im all high and excited about something..and when finally someone comes to listen, all the excitement has worn off and that was-brilliant idea becomes dry and ordinary.
Thami says:
i know what you mean
~wüÑD3RLîçH//schnell,schnell kartoffel kopF+} says:
and to try and get excited over it again seems utterly plastic. these things needs to be spontaneous
Thami says:
often the whole excitement is irrational anyway and analysis kills the feeling

im getting that 'sick wave' now. this morning, when i was rushing to the bus stop (as usual), i had such a strong fainting feeling, i really did thought i was gonna faint. it was really painful. i think its coz i woke up, showered and ran out of the house in 20mins without eating. i felt like a fucking diabetic! that hyper/hypo glycemic crap. -argh- i forced down a banana and heaps of water, but that din make anything better. thankfully i carry lollies (sweets) around. so i had two of that, and it must have brought the sugar level back to normal -phew- but once i came to uni, the faint feeling started coming back again. its weird!! (maybe i AM diabetic) i got a large latte and sandy bought me a hashbrown. then it got better. now its not. argh! why cant it just stay normal for once? im pretty sure that has something to do with my thalassemi** a trait blood [aidee, this is why i am not a fan of donating blood. i would feel too fucked up after that. blood tests already make me fainty..let along getting a bag of blood outta me! eeks!] but then again, im a recessive trait carrier.. oh fuck. i think the different names just signifies the degree of wrong-ness. stupid low blood pressure. i cant donate blood. i NEED blood myself!! B+!! anyone??!
aside from my pathetic self pity, i had one of the longest most intriguing conversation with Christie last night! i feel more stable now after having all those hidden thoughts/confessions out. it is so strange how suddenly, i have become SO close to so many people in such a short time!(altho i must admit, that is not going very well with thami and sally =\) i wonder why i never got to know them till now. but i shant complain.
dad is arriving in less than 24 hours! *freaks out* my bathroom is a mess, the study is in a mess, my room is in a mess. and i haven gotten him a father's day card (this caused a stir a few years back). AND it means tonight is my last night for 3 long weeks for staying up late. fuck. but i doubt i have any energy to pull an all-nighter again tonight. i think the body is rebelling. i feel feverish already. one positive thing tho. sandy and i went to speak to Thomas about our oral (btw, christie, Thomas is German. and he did the uber fast 'jajajajajaja' thing when i was asking him about powerpoint layout. i almost burst out laughing!) and he said we are on track and we should do well! WOOHOO!!!!!
**Beta/Recessive Thalassemia
[i have a recessive genetic disease. that sounds... unreal. but its real. not that i bother much with it tho.. btw, i got it from my mum - one of those few things that i have inherited.]

( Lady Lazarus ) how i wish blogger had this lj-cut thingy, coz all of my normal length posts are so long as it is and i cant post extra stuff there. oh well. there's probably a way but im too lazy to go look it up. i have no patience atm.
in fact, im in such a bad mood now everything seems wrong. i have a bruise on my ring finger coz i crashed into the door frame while coming in the house - i was so pissed off and hurt from what my mum said when i asked her if she would bring the umbrella to the bus stop for me, to which she replied 'what?! you want me to walk all the way there? but im already in my pajamas!'. plus, i've got new cuts from work, again (those big ones on my knee have healed, leaving huge dark ugly scars). i really wonder when i will stop getting burns/cuts from work. im so accident-prone/klutzy. actually, when i cook at home, its the same, only i get hurt a little less coz i know where not to walk into.
this sounds utterly silly, but im trying to listen to old 2003 music and forcing the door to those memories shut. i dun want to throw old music away juz coz of the memories they bring. -sigh- its really challenging tho.
well, i think i shd go and start my oral presentation on Mid-Ocean Ridges & Ocean Chemistry. bleagh!

im bored. so might as well do a lil cut 'n' paste huh?
im craving chocolate. there are 3 huge bars of choc in the pantry but i dun trust myself to ''just have a bite''; i will end up finishing ALL 3. *downs a bottle of water to keep me full*
whoa! its 9.30 in the morning and im having a conversation with Thami (the white sth african dude who is NOT a wigga) about ''extreme capitalism'' and ''governments thatcherite policies'' and Huxley. how neat it that? oh this is heaven. i juz introduced him to www.talkingcock.com. <<< visit!!! here's the sth african version >>> http://www.mg.co.za/zapiro/default.aspx?cg=0
yesterday was much fun! it was sorta like an unofficial kill bill day. i got ''the bride'' poster and my limited ed. one laminated. i can hang them on my wall now!! whee! and of coz, it wudnt be a kill bill day without blood. nicely, when i was grabbing something outta my bag, i tore a tiny (i thought!) piece of skin out. it would stop bleeding for about 20mins!!! ''what a bloody affair!''
*i have more to say but i must dash for food-bathroom-bedroom-bus NOW. laterZ!
back! i survived another whimsical biol lecture! the lecturer really does remind me of me. his talkings to his iMAC - "i dun like mice" "c'mon, dun do this to me" "quick! appear!!!(and does the hand-waving thing)". oh what a nice experience of deja vu there. its really weird (in a good way). i talk to ben and thami on MSN and depart with the normal "cya later!" and i really do see them in the lecture. hmm.... interesting eh? anyhows, 2 more good MSN buddies. i cant believe what a computer geek i have become. O-O
the past week led me into several new 'findings' (as you may call) about myself. lets quote: thami said "jamie, you are a rebel. a post-modernist one." steve told me "jamie, your mind works in a really weird fashion". ben said "if we walk further back from her, people wil think that she is talking to herself" it IS interesting, ain't it?
well, im so glad im in a much better mood right now. at least i know i've got my BIOL mt. cootha report and the 'social polarisation' essay under control. yet, it is not time to let out a sigh of relief.
im starving now! i think i will drop by garbs and grab some of that greek yoghurt; its really addictive! *shares some with everyone*
>>> btw, anyone has Zero 7's "simple things" album? i want it badly!!

(thought i did livejournal some justice by updating. but i wun be updating as frequent as my other blog.)
the weekend was in a way constructive, and also in a way crap. lets recollect memories
-saturday-
mum and aaron were out of the house by early morning. and i hatta work 3-5. but the stupid cashier at borders who sold me my kill bill dvd forgot to remove the magnetic klutch that holds the box shut. so poor me hatta drag my arse down to the city to get it removed. ok. done. oh wait. before that, when i was waiting at my bus stop... this creepy filo (he has a strong enough filo accent) guy drove up.. here's the ( conversation )
farkin' hell! who he thinks he's trying to take advantage of? that eerie creep. never thot sth like this would happen to me..but it did. its funny as well as freaky. all i can say is, thank god i didnt get in the car. *phew* neway, work was damn busy..the earlier shift people didnt do any cleaning at all and we hatta chop up cakes and clean all within 1.5 hrs. urgh! but it was alright..
-sunday-
woke up automatically at 5.35am (i think my body clock has set itself to wake up at that time everyday), supposedly to study.. but i cudnt resist the temptation to watch kill bill first, besides, i had a lot of uni-stress to kill before i got get down and do work. it rawks (the movie). neway, i did a whole morning of econs and also the online quiz (17/20!! :] ) i moved from the study room to the garden (yes, i had the picnic mat out together with all my books and notes). sat there in the sun for about an hour. and hatta rush off to work. well, work was shit. i simply cudnt pay attention and becky (the nicest one of the staff) was hang-over-ing. so she was super impatient and grumpy - doesnt go well with my not-here-ness. sigh. and while bringing out the rubbish, i somehow had my knee cut all over by wadeva that was in that heavy bag. blegh. yup.. thats the wrap for my weekend. not remarkably eventful in my terms but yea, it was... different. ok. i best be off printing notes off and emailing myself the 9 huge journal articles.

short lil update here. i've gotta run to another library across uni to get my book. uhh.. mum wanted to go to GJ for coffee, i cant say no can i? last thing i want is for her to be upset.. ok, i did that, had a regular caramel latte. and had to rush off to meet nelli to pass her her thick gargantuan nursing book which she needed from the UQ library[ain't i nice? i carried it home for her last nite]. she wanted coffee as well n i had a free sipper thingy..so we had a regular creme brulee. now that's two coffees already. and then i had to meet aidee to pass him my idol tape n get him to check my chem CMT. we had coffee. well, i had coffee again times TWO, thanks. clever him bought espresso frappe [well, not entirely his fault. i told him to surprise me]. i was so floaty from the first 2 coffees i cudnt finish the last one.. he took most of it instead. n at chem, i was shaking like hell. i stil am.. and am damn hungry. i forgot to haf lunch.. sigh.. never again will i have so much coffee in a day. actually, i've had more before [which didnt work then, when i needed it]. i think my reliance on coffee has gone down.. n dat basically explains me shaking from 2.25 cups of coffee.. makes sense?! urgh.. nvm.. too much titration calculations for today - driving me nuts over decimal places... well, i've gotta run now.. to library and to QUT.

Friday, 7May04 This is a useless update but im at uni an hour early.. so why not make full use of it? Just saw Jasmin again!! [better not see her on Monday though] im hooked onto the kill bill 2 soundtrack!! Its truly and utterly incapable of leaving my hi-fi/discman. Ok, that is truly and utterly lame. I slept so early last night and am yawning now. How odd! The damn weather today is so appropriate for sleeping, just when I want to be a nerd and finish my ‘holistic’ assignment. Never fear, there’s the wondrous intoxicating irresistible cure called coffee.
Since I am so bored out here, I shall do a critique on coffee.
~*~
Gloria serves the best mocha caramel latte. People often complain that it is far to sweet, but it surely does suit Jamie’s ultra sweet tooth. However, the frappes at Gloria’s are simply average. You can hardly taste any coffee in it! It is because of the copious amounts of chocolate and sugar they conveniently add, forcing all the coffee to go into hiding. How evil! Either way, it is strong enough to send Jamie laughing her head off for about more than half a day. Mission accomplished!
Starbucks has the best of all bests caramel frappe. Just the right amount of coffee and sweetness. Rhumba is different. It is strong with an additional kick added [baileys I’m gussing]. Coconut Mocha Frappe does not fit in my list of must-try. Maybe it’s just me? Well, you can rate starbucks as one of the best coffee places in the world. Not forgetting their inspirational décor and music, just the perfect place for us uni people to hang out and catch up on the good old times.
Spinellis [sorry guys, not here in Australia yet] has a very interesting range of names/drinks. Coffee there is only good when it is hot. From my not-so-efficient memory, I don’t remember trying any of the cold coffee things from there. Nevermind. The apple smoothie is a total die for! And right behind that is the Sunkist orangey one and then the banana one. I do remember 2 Christmases ago, they came up with this Christmas cookie/strawberry one. Wish I tried that! Hold on… I feel memory vibes approaching. One more nice nice one is the lemon ice tea smoothie… Nette tried it when we were bread-talking-spinelli-drinking at Parkway.
Coffee Bean & Tea Leave, better known as just CBTL, serves very good breakfast. The caramel latte there is almost as good as Gloria’s, however, it has waaaay better coffee taste to it. The Sunshine frappe is really refreshing. Vanilla is not bad too. Good for studying. I cant remember exactly but most of the coffee frappes are pretty good as well. Damn! My remembering-taste-buds are dying on me.
Ya Kun [it was founded just after starbucks in the 1970s!] serves the world’s best kaya toasts and half-boiled egg breakfast! And for once, it is AFFORDABLE! The coffee is superbly yummy and STRONG. So strong it sometimes gives me a headache if I don’t add enough sugar. Anyhow, it is one great great place.
~*~
wow. How did I manage to pull all that out of nowhere? I must be real bored huh.. –off to lecture I go-

YAY! so she's all happy.. she bought me new sunnies (ANOTHER one!!) as well!! yIIPeE! and she found one was-$189-now-$99 pair she really likes (probably to replace the $200 one she lost) so yay too!! she really liked that one.. and i got her to tell me which chinzzano (i cant spell) she likes.. its russo (before i forget). AND i found 2 places with vacancies! the liqour shop and 'adairs' at garbo. shall hand in resumes tmr.. AND AND AND! mum's finally looking for a job!! she actually sounded enthusiastic about getting one.. AND she was talking about wad kinda car/wad colour she wants to get.. so YAYYY!!! [aidee: remember u telling me dat she shd learn to drive and get a job? and me bringing her shopping? its coming true!! n she's happier now as well!!!! *big big big smile*]

i feel so lousy now!! i juz let my(yes, dats her name) photocopy my tute notes coz she simply didnt feel like going to the last tute. luckily for her, i did really detailed notes as to how to do the ENVM assignment.. and what do i get in return? sandy, my and me were walking to the BIOL library. my found several books.. when i asked her if she found anything good, all she did was clutch them closer to her, blocking my entire view. like how rude is that? and sandy shared with her a highly-soughted book for this assignment, she(my) found one copy in the library and borrowed it without asking sandy if she would like it first. how goddamn rude???!!!! sigh... no wonder why pple say dun get too close to viets.. dey are always up to no good. [i know i know.. lotsa racism there.. n im juz generalising] ~end of bitchiness~

FRANCINE KOH AT UNI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she's struggling real hard at uni.. i was supposed to have coffee with her or something.. but she didnt appear and i hatta run. she's doing a 4 year course -Social Work. gawd! that's a whole heapful of money!! wads 18000x4? dat shd be how much she's paying... eep!
