It's interesting that after one hard moment in life, the other hard moments don't seem so hard anymore. I realised that a lot of my entries have been about honours, and how hard things are. I don't expect that to change anytime soon, so why bore you on the details again. I'll talk about honours when the pressure is back on.
It's almost mid way through the semester now, and I would have imagined that I would have been on more roadtrips than I have already been (and that's 1.) Beechworth was fun! I'm always fascinated by history (other than Singapore's because that is just boring), and it was very cool to read articles and learn more about the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly. When will Singapore ever get an outlaw who makes his own armour and robs banks to distribute wealth. He was likened to a modern day robin hood! Of course he did a lot of other stuff that was not very robin hood like, and he didn't have any Maid Marian to save.
Speaking of which, I can't wait to watch the robin hood movie that is going to be released. As far as I can recall, all the robin hood movies that I've watched were either cartoons (which ended happily ever after) or comedy spoofs like robin hood men in tights (which is just dumb).
I'll end this entry with a conversation that happened today. The lecturer was giving a talk on how to give presentations, and this happened at the end of the talk.
Friend1: I want to ask him how to stop saying "umm" when giving a presentation.
Me: Umm... ??
*walks up to lecturer*
Friend1: Hi, umm... I want to ask how do you stop saying umm when giving a presentation.
Lecturer: Ummm...
