enhancement orientation: waste of my life. something six hours that could have been condensed into one.
the difference between high school and uni: you go to degays (or st.fags if you aspire to one day be like smitch) after school, you go to the pub after uni
spent the day with hunter, he's great. he didn't know anyone else there (hence, i kinda dumped ya noor) - and frankly, he's colder than samuel when approaching and meeting new people.
the Q&A with past enhancement students was amusing: the redhead went to westbourne, the blond was the evil girl from the saddle club (i'm almost certain) and me and sam once shared a table with the guy at the state library, he was talking with some girl about how you may aswell bypass the whole bachelor of arts and just apply for the dole instead of going to uni.
went to the espy afterwards (as if i were an actual uni student). will initially came with us so we would buy him beer, they his frinds cancelled on him cos it was too cold (and they only ever wear running shorts, occasionall with singlets or t-shirts) and so he got pretty nicely toasted before joining us at the espy (drinking pure blonde, on the street = all class).
none of us were id-ed, possibly cos i'm busty and sam and rhys have hairy backs.
went with the intention of seeing defiance, ohio being utter filthy hippies. found out they would play at one; found out they played at one at nine. turns out the LOTF guy was called will wagner (as in vagner with the v-sound cos he's a giga-aryan) and he was opening - i missed him.
and who did i bump into? why finnigan and pete (ah-la ex-mhs or if you will, ah-la hillz formal date). finnigan is apparently doing arts/law at anu. what a nerd.
we only stayed for about an hour: the only vegan beer on tap was stellar artois and it was $21 a jug. i prefer the workshop, they have outdoor chairs and they actually let you have water like a responsible venue should. and they have beer vegan beer on tap that won't cost you your grocery money for a jug.
so we left, and then we had to wait round, because will (who had left earlier) was having irresponsible sex. with a 24-year old. who only happened to have left his school this new year. i was not impressed.
ps. moneybags has a really, really, shit tattoo. its some guy with a watering can, growing an anarchy flower, ah-la 'planting the seeds of revolution' - which he is not might i add.

the people we were chatting to in the line behind us (incidentally melb high boys) weren't very impressed with yo' line cutting. disapproval went as such:
boy (i think his name was jesse): those bastards! they didn't even go to the tour, and then they just cut the line like that!
me: ah, kham and hunter
boy: oh, did i just insult friends of yours?
me: the guy isn't my friend
boy: good. (glares)
also in what was possibly the most exciting part of the day (up there with the elusive stationary vending machine/the first year blog/access to the library, that is) was jean mulder!* we got to go and talk to her about her textbook writing ways! it was so exciting. i think we pretty much fangirled her. she's not lecturing us this year. the others bullied me into doing all the talking for about an hour before we dared to approach her in all her linguistic glory.
we did meet some very nice people. everyone was doing french, history, philosophy, and linguistics. mostly french. and hannah took the 'why capitalism is to blame' poster. that was about it. good day.
p.s. i could have sworn one of the girls was a swinburne artfag
p.p.s. was the girl that went to westbourne the twitchy lit girl?
*in case the name doesn't come to you, she co-wrote our year 11 textbook with kate burridge, and also wrote 'english in oz&nz' with kate.
a few comments about the people behind you:
a. they go to melb high
b. the tour was optional
c. both myself and hunter have toured the uni before on numerous occasions
d. i fail to see how we cut in line (ie. you follow the person in front of you, pretty simple, and if i recall, we were in the que before them)
e. people like that really need either to get a life or stay home with their 'fruits basket'.
ps/ don watson has written for quaterly essays - don watson, author of quarterly essays; quarterly essays, a commie journal.
he wasn't serious. lighten up.
oh my god also i forgot- did you see the boy who was identical to todd from dead poets' society?! IDENTICAL. same 1950s teacher-esque outfit, same light acne and greasy haircut, same look of extreme shyness and disillusionment with the world! when we heard him speak to some staff member, he even had the same intense anxiety and anger in his voice!! albeit, it was a voice with a toffy pseudo-british accent, as opposed to the american accents of dead poets', but still. evelyn, joy, and i (rudely) followed him around in raptures of delight all day, squealing with delight whenever he came near us.
i knew it! linguists and commies are all bound up for the same cause. i have some whack statlib notes somewhere on death sentence that are full of right-wing critics proclaiming that it is in actual fact people like watson- p.c. university lecturers, political lesbians, and the like - who are degrading and destroying our language. good times. woah i wrote an essay in your blog.
p.s. the world bank's website could not possibly be more vague and meaningless.
i do actually know who your talking about, we called him 'the young man who dresses like an onld man'.
