Today didn’t start well. I was very tired but I dragged myself out of bed and was ready to go out and face the world. I walked to the station and the train was already on the platform. I wasn’t worried because I thought it had a minute until it left. I reached into my bag to get my wallet for my ticket to get through the gate. Guess what! No wallet! I had left it in the bag I took to bible study last night. So I turned around and walked home. I actually wasn’t that late to uni. It was 20 minutes late but I had a tutorial with Mike and people trickle in at all times so he didn’t mind and I displayed I had some knowledge so it was all good.
My french speaking test didn’t go very well. I was doing it with Penny and the scenario was we were a UNSW student belonging to the french society and a french exchange student and we were attending a movie with the FS. We said a couple of things and just froze. We were blank and it was terrible because we are actually quite good at talking to each other. I think it was the scenario that threw us. If we could just say stuff it’s be fine, like if the scenario was that we met in a bar. In this exam we had to invent things and then say them in French. I don’t think that’s very reasonable. I’m sad that we did so averagely because I think some of our chums did quite well.
I was so tired and feeling sick before the exam, like I am now actually. I’m about to go to bed. I’ve been getting those lower abdomen pains again. I’m pretty scared, I don’t want to go into hospital again and I don’t want to have surgery. I called the doc even though I knew she wasn’t going to be there, I left a message for her to call me tomorrow. I’ll ask her if I can have the ultrasound sooner before anything dramatic happens.
The last lecture (my last for the year!) was good. It was by the lecturer I thought hated my presentation. I feel better about that now. I’m over it.
This afternoon I was going to buy another pair of jeans because there’s a greasy mark that isn’t going to come out of mine. I could always do with another pair anyway but they weren’t on sale so I didn’t feel like getting them. Instead I went to JB Hifi and I got the Magnolia soundtrack, 12 Monkeys, Blink and Love Actually all for $36. That was pretty good.
Then this evening I finished my essay. I think it’s pretty good – I should never think that, not that I believe in jinxes but I always end up disappointed when I think I did a good job. Anyway it should be alright. It’s good when you only know if you got a distinction, like on the last essay because then you only know it’s somewhere between 75 and 85 so you can’t really be disappointed.
We had stir-fry with rice for dinner and we watched some of 12 Monkeys.
Dad told Mum that the funeral is probably going to be on Monday but it’s a public holiday so it seems unlikely that the crematorium people will be working. Funerals are such strange things. When someone dies it makes those around them feel a bit lost and sad and we do the whole grieving thing. In amongst all that you have to put together a funeral?! Hope Dad’s doing alright.
Now I need to go to bed. So tired! Goodnight world!
