I confess! ...umm..I unconfess...

There are quite often news stories that trigger in me a hearty or lengthy laugh, this being one of them..

Man arrested after "deathbed" confession"

Oh the irony of the thinking your dying, confessing dramatically at the last minute to the murder of your past, and then finding out that you aren't in fact dying at all.

Doctor: He's Dying!
Man: Well in that case, I CONFESS EVERYONE, it was I who killed him! MUAHAHA what are you going to do about it now, fools...
Doctor: uh, turns out he's not..
Man: ....shit. ...So...about that whole..hem..confession thing..
Police: *clink handcuffs*


In other news, I've been meaning to tell this story for awhile but was reminded of it when I walked passed a particular lecturer today.

If you all remember I enrolled myself in a philosophy unit It was one of those things where I figured it would be fun just as a throw away unit however don't ever do Philosophy at uni. Seriously our first lesson went like this:

Russian Professor guy: hi. the walls are blue. how do we know the walls are blue? because we know. are they blue? yes, the walls are blue. Levers are like our arms and things. We use many levers. And you see, the walls are blue. So when we talk about reasoning and levers we are talking about solving a problem. So these walls are blue. But is their life on Mars? We all have levers.

I'm not even exagerrating.

Initially, my reaction was like oh well it's a throw away unit, it's probably easy to get a good mark in, there isn't a textbook to buy, i'll do it anyway.

Uninitially. I decided fuck it and took up Italian which I will probably major in.

Now I keep getting emails from the Phil Lecturer cos I'm still on the mailing list and when I pass him in the corridor i SWEAR he glares at me. Some argue it's just his blank facial expression but whatever it is it scares me into KNOWING THAT HE IS PLOTTING HIS REVENGE ON ME AHHHHH

Why is living at College so freaking awesome?

ok so I don't know how it works everywhere else but for here...




Uni(versity): UNE. The building at the top of the hill with all the classrooms that you go to to do lessons and learn and get a degree and shit.

College: Earle Page (Or Austin or Duval or one of 8 other ones) Where you live if you choose to live in college. Involves all the sports and events and spirity shit. You can go to uni without going to college but not the other way around.


Perhaps that is me being condescending but everyone I talk to is all wait you walked back to college what? And before I came here I used the two interchangeably. Now it seems just weird.


Ok so question and answer time...


Question: Why is living at College so freaking awesome?

Answer:

a) the food is so delicious
b) you get plenty of sleep
c) its really quiet for study
d) you get to dress up like HARRY FREAKING POTTER in these cool arse robes buts its all super serious and you get to pretend like mad that your LIVING AT FUCKING HOGWARTS.


If I was heaps magic at html, or if I could be bothered googling how to, I'd make the answers all cool and upside down.


As it is:


1. I'm lazy
2. It's late
3. the answer is blatantly obvious and
4. I like not doing things then doing other things in avoiding the original thing which ultimately end up taking more time and effort hence defeating the original purpose of avoiding (seriously, does anyone else have this problem??)

anyway...

Facebook Fail

So I'm at uni and shit. documenting the past weeks would be insanely difficult so, whatever.

That last post I was all bla bla bla I'm enrolled I know everything. So, turns out the reason that you don't elect your major first year because all first years are stupid. And thus think they should do boring stupid majors like "Political and International Studies" and then they fall asleep in the classes and be like what? I'm getting a Law degree no matter what I major in, lets do something cool and useful and fun. Like Italian. So now I'm majoring in Italian. Yay. And possibly history as a co-major. Cos history is fun.

Ok so, why is the space on blogger where I write my blog an odd bluey grey colour? GOD WHY DO PEOPLE CHANGE THINGS?

LIKE FACEBOOK!

Ok so, I don't know about the rest of the world, but I was personally very satisfied with the layout as it was. I had gotten very comfortable with it since the last time they decided they would screw with all our minds in a conspiracy to drive us all to suicidal wrecks change it. Actually, I do know about the rest of the world. They also hate it. Because in the past day or so I have seen several status updates along these lines:

bla-bla blason is hating the new facebook!

mr random person is wanting the old facebook back

driven to psychosis by facebook smith is about to go on a violent killing rampage with a gun if he doesnt get the old facebook back. And maybe if he does he still will. AND KILL SMALL CHILDREN.

Here, on the other hand, are the facebook status updates that I have not seen:

uncomforming freak is completely in love with the new facebook! It is so so easy to find everything! And it looks really good! And she doesnt miss the nice normal old facebook that she adjusted to! Because all those benefits of new facebook are just so amazing!

Seriously facebook, what are the benefits of this change? What is better? Why try and make something better that everyone is completely happy with?

I hate things I dont pay for. They have such a mind of their own. >\

Hmm maybe I'll talk about college and uni and stuff later...xx
