I overslept today too...what's new? I turned my alarm off at 10.10am then snoozed for a while more and when I opened my eyes it was like 10.45am and I was like oh crap! Surprisingly I made it to school on time. Finance tutorial was first and even though I did my homework, I had no idea what was going on so err that was unproductive.

The transition to commerce lecture was pretty useless...they were telling us why it's bad to plagiarize blah blah blah. I found a lot of it unnecessary and too harsh. For example, if you accidentally forget quotation marks or if you paraphrase wrongly then it's considered plagiarism. That was followed up by a talk on how hard it is to paraphrase...which is really stupid! If it's so hard then give us a break! One of the examples was really stupid as well. They gave us an example of a summary "studying skills should be taught" or something like that...why in the world do we haffta reference something like that?! It is actually possible for more than one person to have the same thought? Just because someone else wrote it first doesn't mean they own that thought. Also, having to reference something like when Mcdonalds was founded is stupid cos it's a fact and that fact doesn't belong to anyone! Honestly I see nothing wrong with copying and pasting. Are we as human beings so egoistical that we need to be given credit for every word that comes out of our mouths? Do we need to feed our egos like that? Ok I think maybe I'm just in a bad mood today.

Finance lecture was after that and it was alright I suppose. Sara and I went to the bank after to re-order our pins for our atm cards because the bank is so inefficient! First they forgot to order my card for me so I had to go back and request for a card again, then my card arrived without my pin. I went back like three times to check for my pin and they still won't give it to me! It's been almost a month since I opened my account and I still don't have a working atm card!

After that we went to the bookstore along Swanston Street and I bought my finance textbook. We chucked our stuff back at college square then trammed down to Lonsdale Street. I found the tailor Wayne Cooper recommended and wtf! it's soooo expensive! but I had no choice but to alter my clothes otherwise I can't wear them. We then went grocery shopping at QV and I had sooo much to carry!! I slapped everyone with a mop on my way to the tram stop. One of the bags even broke so everything fell on the floor.

Dinner at Ying Tai (I think that's what it's called) with Sara and Claire...we trudged there in the rain and I got my ass and legs all muddy. The only brightside of the rain was that I saw the most beautiful rainbow, the brightest rainbow I've ever seen. When we found the restaurant there were no tables available so we waited for ages. Dinner was followed by dessert at Brunetti's...word of advice: stick to high fat cheesecake.

I made oreo cheesecake when I got back...cheese is all over my kitchen now. Ugghh more cleaning :( Now here I am typing while Nat is over at Mambo! Have enough fun for the both of us k? Miss you Nat!

I'm so home sick it's absurd! I miss my mummy, my daddy, my Natty, maybe Angelica, definitely not Rachel, my maid, my friends, my Hyatt, my Isetan sales, my bed and well basically I miss my life!

Nothing has gone right today...Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day...

XOXO K
