So... It's already TP4.
Where the heck did the last 6.5 months go?!
To be honest, I'm finding the prospect of 3.5 months holidays a little sad. Uni is too much fun. Especially on gorgeous, sunny days like this one. That said, 3.5 months of Summer promises road trips, time to read books, learn guitar, and grow ignorant to the stress of exams, only to be whacked across the head by heavy textbooks and terminology once again in March '11.
Back to the present for a moment. Ageings and Endings- sounds pretty depressing to say the least. But! Compared to Canberra's standards, it's pretty much Summer already, which surely makes up for it! Basically, it's ice cream weather... what could possibly be better? Studying is going to be a pain, mostly because all I want to do now is sit outside in the Sunshine and listen to happy music, such as this song: Loving You
Not many people seem to know about Paolo Nutini, I guess he didn't really hit the big time in Australia in a massive way. However!! He has a fairly sexy voice, and interestingly, is a Scottish lad with Italian heritage. You gotta love cross-cultural conjugation. I heard Jenny Don't Be Hasty a few years ago, and recently bought his first album. Listen to New Shoes, and Last Request if you like what you hear.
His lyrics aren't particularly poetic, but the way he phrases certain lines and incorporates them into rhythm and melody is pretty cool. And if you're listening to the song, hopefully the seemingly irrelevant title makes more sense. He's got a funky, jazzy thing going on. Recently, I've been thinking about music composition, something I haven't done in years, sadly. Contemplating picking up a couple theory books (ewwww) and going through chords and modulations again, just so I don't forget my stuff.
Also, last night was our first Tech Viewing for medshow, which was amazing! Though, I spent half the time watching the band, and missing our 'Burgmann Anglican School Rock Band' like crazy. It's been at least 9 months since I've had to do a souncheck and attempt to fix dodgy mics and amps. However, being involved in Medshow has been a lot of fun and given me a chance to focus on something other than Med. Which reminds me, time to sign up for Arts :D
Anyway, that's my spiel for now :) Also, yesterday was chuffed to learn that people I don't even know are readers of the blog!
Hope this teaching period proves to be satisfying and not-so-stressful.

A particularly nice line from Jenny Dont Be Hasty- I'm deftly waiting for you to smile, and change your mind. Then I'll say I'm sorry and I'll wrap my arms around your body, I really hope you forgive in a hurry and don't just ask me to leave. Tried singing it... only sounds good with a male voice. Damn.
Hello! now that I'm not a complete stranger, I feel like I can comment without the creepy, stalker element.
ReplyDelete- I'm liking the new layout :)
- I loved Paolo Nutini a few years ago, Rewind is really nice too
-aww, I wish I did Arts. would you consider going on exchange? Personally, I couldn't imagine doing Arts and not going on exchange.
Paolo rocks my world. Almost as much as you do.
