| Wednesday, May 28, 2008 Gosh, I am getting more and more dense or blur or tired or preoccupied. I was pumping petrol (or at least I thought I was) when the attendant came up to me in a great state of agitation. I could not even understand what he was saying until I realised that I was actually standing in a huge puddle of gas. It was a case of pumping petrol onto the car, instead of into the car. Gosh. Just imagine if I had a phone call at that moment, or if someone just smoked nearby, or if a shooting star had landed at the station. Anyway, it was a moment, that I had, and I realised how lucky we all are, and we probably face about a million life threatening situations every day (if you do not, then perhaps you are not really living) and yet never quite die. Had another two interviews in a row, and I think (hope !) they went well. Tone was pretty good actually and the more I think about it, the more I want to work there. Gosh. Stress. Anticipation is killing me. Not to mention I have started to fall behind on my study schedule. As IzyBear mentions, we spent Sunday at KLCC for Melbourne Uni Open Day. Volunteered and got a pretty cool polo, a lapel pin, a certificate....food.....erm... But I think the best part of it was meeting so many people, (alumni and anxious parents alike) and convincing them that UniMelb is such a great place. I know I had fun, reminiscing about the time that I spent there. Seriously, talking about a place brings back so many memories, and you would be surprised how small the university is, as everyone seems to be connected in one or two degrees ! Also attended a talk meant for newbies, called 'Living In Melbourne' I think, where a couple of people, IzyBear included talked about how great it was to live and study there. It was very .. emotional. Until I realised that one issue that was important to both him and WBear was that they would not sweat after several hours of sport. I never realised that this could be such an important selling point at all. I have never given second thought about this issue, but thinking about it, I believe KeeBear was quite happy about this as well when he first came. Hmm. But seriously, is it not a bit more icky, as not sweating means all the dirt and yukky waste is still kept in your body ? MKBear, I realise I still have not sat down to do your tags. I promise I will, someday, soon..(I hope) hahahah. Just need to get down on it. |
