Letters to my future self

12th apr - annoyances in aussie land

oh wow, how time flies, its already midteam break next week. we get 1 week off and luckily enough, some random public holiday falls on the week aft and we technically speaking we get 2 weeks off.

not that i've got any plans to go anywhere, i still havent made alot of friends here, not any close ones anyway.

even my own roommates are beginning to annoy me, alot.
basic room sharing etiquette cant even be observed, i mean come on, all of u are adults, do u really expect me to tell u in your face that u need to help clean the common area?

gosh, i dont care how messy or untidy ur room is, but for god's sake, its the kitchen, hello? cooking area? hygiene?

nooo, instead i get oily stoves, washed-but-still-oily pans, plates, cutlery, dirty floor, etc. u cant expect me to be cleaning up everytime aft all of u, its pretty annoying. i even went to the extent of buying a spray and hinted to the guys that it actually removes oil stains *AHEM, use it u morons!* i seem to be the only one using it, apparently.

*SIGH*

all these ppl shd be thrown into national service to learn how to do area cleaning. BAH

1st assignments are being returned to us and alot of us suffered greatly due to 1) unclear instructions 2) incorrect/insufficient referancing. this referancing nonsense is quite bugging me, its very annoying to have to read thru multiple freaking journals thats like 10 odd pages each and then maybe qouting a sentence or 2 (from each of them, or some, none at all). i dont like it, but i dont have a choice either. bleh

lecture sizes here remind me of when i was back in poly, 1st 2 weeks was so packed, finding a seat takes some skill. over the next 1 month, attendance dips by 30% and by the 2nd month, 50%. heh. in addition to that, only half of the ppl attending the lecture return to the lecture aft the 10 min break during halftime. up til now, i've never really understood this phenomenon. i mean, if u want to leave halfway, u might as well jus skip the lecture entirely, duh.

oh well, time to go plan what i shd do during the 2 week break, maybe go catch a movie or 2 (god, movie price here are stupid and i tot tickets in sg were ex) or take a bus down to a further town to walk around or something. or bunk in my room and wow all day ><"
