Had the second and last night of the marriage seminar last night. It was much more enjoyable and entertaining than last nights talk from Relationships Australia. Of course this was probably due to the speakers and the topics discussed last night. There were so many good quotes that were said that I would like to post here, but unfortunately i can't remember many.

First up was Fr. Dimitri, who was due to give an explanation of the marriage service, but also gave a more general talk on developing a good relationship early in the marriage to set the pattern for … Read more →

Today I had a shower. Shock! Horror!

I haven't had one in a long long time. But before you premeditate ways of avoiding me next time you see me, that's only because of my broken foot I have been forced to having baths.

I'm not really one for baths. When you're a kid, they're great, but when you're a big adult, there's something gross about cleaning yourself of all the crap that's on you, and then staying in that dirty water for a period of time.

Over the past few days, I've been able to put a little more weight … Read more →

Just finished watching a movie called Equilibrium. Quite enjoyed it actually, even though admittedly it probably wasn't that great of a movie.

The plot goes along the lines: that in the early 21st century, the Third World War broke out, and afterwards there was a minority revolution in which it was decided that the root of all evils, such as violence and war, was rooted in human feelings and emotion.

Jealousy, hatred, sorrow, grief and violence are the 'sister emotions' of love, joy, and elation, and both sides of the emotional coin should be anaesthetised for a great and … Read more →

Although I was already 99% sure that I would pass all my courses, today I received the official confirmation.

I got a 5 (Credit) for all of my last three courses of my degrees that I undertook this past semester: COMP3502 Human Computer Interaction, HIST2602 Empires, and HIST2609 History of the Great Powers.

Overall I am satisfied with these results, although I could have done much better if I applied myself better, especially for the exams.

These results also mean that I have officially completed all the requirements of both my IT and Arts degrees, and I will be graduating … Read more →

Still pretty much taking it easy. Something which is also not really normal for me, is that I have been featuring on MSN often... well, often for me. But it is easy to get 'more often' than nothing. hehe

Over the last few days I have been waiting for my results from the past semester. Uni had told us that the results will be released tomorrow. For all the previous semesters, the results have been released at least a few days before the specified 'official date', but this semester it seems that they are actually going to release on the … Read more →

I got the other wireless router Thursday, and setting it to function solely as an access point was more difficult than i expected. Actually, when i come to think of it, nearly everything to do with computers almost always takes much longer than expected. Nothing with computers is ever easy.

But that's another issue altogether. I think that the problem was due to the router not activating its wireless functionality until you had set up it's WAN connection, which wasn't required for it to function as an access point. When I was trying to set it up, the 'wireless' LED … Read more →

Having broken my foot on Sunday, I haven't been up to too much. Over the past few days I have just had to make sure that i keep my foot up, because each time i let it down, even just down sitting, it starts hurting and throbbing like crazy. It is also still really swollen. As a result, really the only time I get up off the couch is to go to the toilet, to have a bath (i can't safely or comfortably have a shower on one foot), or to go to bed.

Thus my existence really has basically … Read more →

Well, I don't know where to begin. What a past few days. *Warning: long post*

Just to let everyone know, I have broken my foot, so that's probably why you won't be seeing me much anytime soon. But more on that later.

Saturday was my last ever uni exam. That's it for uni. No more uni. I've got to say that finishing uni was a little depressing. The exam was at 2:30, and I went in there around 10ish so I could study for it in the library. Sitting in one of the study cartels in the library, I was … Read more →

Was listening to the radio lately and it came to me that all mainstream songs are almost inherently similar in terms of content.

Let me summarise the the categories that songs fall into:
- I'm in love, yay! 🙂
- I'm in love, waaa! 🙁
- Why did (she/he)/(I) leave (me)/(him/her)?!
- He/she is stupid, glad he/she is gone!
- Life is great! / what a wonderful world!
- Life sucks! / I hate my life! / world is terrible!
- Want to get guy(s)/girl(s) and (get with)/(have sex with)/(do drugs with) them.

I know it is a bit of … Read more →

Today was my second last exam: HIST2609 which I had already passed. (see the entry from a few days ago)

The exam was at 5:45pm, but I there was a revision tute for COMP3501 on at 10, so I planned to go into uni for that and spend the rest of the day studying for the exam at uni before actually sitting it.

Went in for the tut-thing, and finally got my marks back for the COMP3501 assignment that i've been waiting for ages for. We got 19/30, which I am not too happy with. I felt that they … Read more →
