THE LOST POST! 'A wise man once said "Change will come". Thank you, Fall Out Boy.'

(I just found this blog on my computer, from late Feb 2009.)

Besides seeing a tarot reader on campus yesterday who told me wonderful things that related quite clearly to my personality and life in general, Uni has been great this first week back. It's felt like a whole new start for me. I am focused on getting great marks and hope to do Honours after I complete my Bachelor of Arts degree in November this year. If I had to base my thesis on any topic, I'd most likely focus on how gender and race is prevalent and portrayed through media such as literature text and film. But the future aside, I'm loving my classes so far this year. I am doing Children's Literature (sounds easy but will be a lot of work as it is a level 3 subject), Representing Crime, Aesthetics and New Ethnicities/Old Racism's. I like that last one, which I had today not only because my tutor is a bit of a spunk but it seems well-organised and just plain interesting in general. Wow. I really have become a nerd.

I ran into my friend Max after class today which was nice as we used to work together and have only seen each other on the odd 'movies and ice-cream' night where some of our work cronies get together and enjoy a simple night out: no drinking allowed. I also heard from another friend, Josh who asked that I film his jazz band's first video clip. Needless to say I said "yes".

So in a nutshell I'm feeling very good about this year. I went to the Fall Out Boy concert on Saturday night (support acts Hey Monday and The All-American Rejects were amazing) and had a great time. The car ride home was a blast as my friend Ant kept good company. University is great as I mentioned earlier and I as the tarot reader said (and I had felt earlier) I have a lot of good things to look forward to. I don't know what I'll do in terms of work: the travel is becoming a bit of a nuisance but I do need funds to survive so perhaps I will stick in there. We'll have to see.

But for now, I'll be off to organise my assignments for the semester. I feel lost without my usual University wall planner!
