BUSY LIKE A BUSY THING ON BUSY DAY!

1. The Arts One essay, while seemingly straightforward and unassuming, has proven to be absolutely rubbish to write. Comparing the gods in the Iliad and Ramayana is absolutely riveting stuff. Of course, it is (only) the first (of many more to come), and I trust the process will get less painful as time progresses.

2. Work has been absolutely insane; oh, the stories I could tell of strange women adamantly refusing to leave the store after closing time, elderly men in the music section hovering for two hours, and teenagers barging in to use the facilities with one minute to closing…

3. Dreadfully tired. Must keep writing (see point 1).

4. Clubs/societies-wise, I’ve been to a couple of Ubyssey meetings, and I must say I’m really enjoying the casual but work-y atmosphere. I’ve my first Culture piece published in this issue, which is really quite exciting. In other news, the highlight of my week is definitely Le Club Francais, but what else is new?

5. Recommend me good music! It shall keep me going like the little train that did! (I like musical theatre, disco pop, Euro-house, tragic ballads, classical, Quebecois, and………I trust your taste.)

In the words of Spring Awakening,
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah!

Cheers,
M.

#003: Of books, buses and breakfast

Currently listening to: “Kiss You Off” – Scissor Sisters

So…I got the job at Indigo! It’s quite funny really; half the week I’m persuading people to take out as many books as they could possibly want to read for free, and the other half of the week I’ll be trying to make people pay for as many books (and other trinkets) as I can possibly sell them. Thank goodness I have no principles whatsoever.

In other news, two days more to the start of school and such; it’s really quite exciting and nerve-wracking all at the same time. I shall look forward with great excitement to the hour-and-a-half-long commute; the mere thought thrills me to no end. You will soon learn that I am supremely easily amused: while donning the Arts students’ requisite purple robes, I will probably be the one kid sitting there, being incredibly entertained by watching people from various faculties walking around in gigantic colour-blocks.

Anyhow,

Kellogg’s All Bran Strawberry Medley owns my life right now.
It’s probably one of the most amazing breakfast (and lunch, and dinner) food I’ve eaten in recent years. The strawberry clusters are absolutely to die for, and the chunks of dried strawberry are heavenly. Oh, the cereal bits are pretty good, too. Bottom line: try it, it’s supercalifragilisticexpialidocious and better for you than other addictive substances.

I’ll be back to haunt you some more soon. Till then, tally ho, pip pip, guv’nor!
