Alrighty guys. I guess I’d better mention this now as I prolly won’t talk much about it. A few weeks ago I asked someone whom I’ve liked for a while now out and it turns out that they felt the same way and now we are magically boyfriend and girlfriend. Ummm yeah we’re totally in love and things couldn’t be rosier.
Despite that its been a bit of a blue week really. Mainly as I missed my girl so much. 
I’m surviving University which is great. I’m still a little bit puzzled as I haven’t quite found an equilibrium with my work load, but I’m getting’ there. I forget if I said it in the last episode but I split my work into 3 categories; Design, Chinese, Linguistics.
Chinese is definitely the hardest thing that I’m doing. I’ve managed to somehow adapt to the teachers skewy Chinese teaching method. I still answer most of my questions in class incorrectly but I am also contributing more than most. For the weeks homework and dictation I scored in the 70s, 74 and 72 I think. Which would be great if the average wasn’t 85. Chinese is really just starting to piss me off now. I’m sick of not getting any of my questions correct and yet putting so much effort into them. Man I’m such a fucking n00b.
I have been considering swapping over to a program in multimedia as I love multimedia. But I need to continue to reassure myself that there isn’t much of a local market for multimedia people and that market is generally highly competitve/not stable/low pay. As thats what all of my research has indicated. So I guess its worth sticking with my safe bet.
I’ve also felt a bit down this week as I’ve been a bit ill. I’ve had sinus thing that makes me feel like I wanna vomit. And now I think that I’ve got a cold…just great. Despite this and constantly missing my girlfriend I’ve managed to still plough thru the week. I find it so amusing how easily you can make friends @ Uni. I haven’t really been thinking much about friends recently, just one of them……..but I’ve still managed to make some more friends this week. Yayness.
We had a great assignment for one of my linguistic courses, it was based on ‘Netspeak’. I basically had to answer some indepth questions on this reading about communicating thru the internet. Really interesting stuff. I’ll just stick a great exert from the article here about the Maxims of speaking on the net:
Maxim of qualityTry to make your contribution one that is specifically:
Do not say what you believe to be false
Do not say that for which you lack adequate evidence
Maxim of relevance
Make your contributions relevant
Maxim of quantity
Make your contributions as informative as is required for the current purposes of the exchange
Do not make your contributions more informative than required
Maxim of manner
Be perspicuous and specifically: avoid obscurity, ambiguity, be brief, be orderlyOh I also bough the Adobe Creative Suite last week and it got mailed down in less than 2 days. I just need to send of my form for the serial. I’m so stoked.
Umm yeah thats prolly it, I’m so tired, I might just have a lie down.

Uni definately feels like a game of survivor, just need to pull through and survive. Keep your wits about you.
