Today I commenced my two weeks work experience at Quest Newspapers and HOLY FUCK I WAS SHIT SCARED. Gah, my hands were shaking so much I spilled my cofffe D: However, the editor I was working under was SO nice and he let me write three articles that are going to be in Thursday's City North News. I am insanely critical of myself, so it means so much when there's a professional around to offer moral support and encourage one's work instead of giving the usual speel about how journalism is dead. (I'm realistic about job prospects in the field, but most of the lecturers at UQ make it feel like it's not worth even attempting :/) So yeah, still nervous but looking forward to going back tomorrow :3

Grr, so fucking jealous of the artists in there who get to play in Photoshop all day. I'd be so happy if I could find a job that would just let me sit and abuse various Adobe programmes like a priest does a small child.

COMU2233 Mass Media and Society 7 High Distinction
JOUR1112 Reporting 5 Credit
MSTU2005 Film Movements & Genres 5 Credit
WRIT2110 Creative Writing: Narrative 6 Distinction

Oh thank Christ. I think I can breathe now. I was hoping for a better GPA than 5.75, but that was due to my lazy attendance record in film class ;_; That'll teach me. I failed hard at Reporting due to my awful habit of biting off more than I could chew. Mental note for next semester- learn to walk before you try to run or you'll fall flat on your face >_> ILU COMMUNICATION CLASS, PLEASE LET ME DO YOU AGAIN <3 <3 <3

Anyone else got their grades back yet?

Derp derp

Things that make me rejoice: Getting my forms to study overseas in with just hours to spare. Be prepared for the crates of bacon-flavoured vodka I bring back.

Things that make me angst: Not handing in a piece of assessment for Creative Writing worth 5% because I was too proud to submit something I didn't deem worthy enough, and it will probably fuck with my major piece.

Things that make me laugh: Being in a conversation class and hearing Korean students discuss if they'd ever go out with a foreigner- "Well, I wouldn't date blacks."

Things that make me cry: Shaun Micallef now hosts prime time celebrity game shows.

HAPPY 2009, NIGGAZ! Only 3 more years 'til the Apocalypse so let's all have a drink.

I just got off a horrifically turbulent plane ride home. The pages of the book I was reading are marred with fingernail marks in testimony to how much I just love and adore flying -_-; (It probably wasn't a good idea to be reading something with the title "Stiff- The Curious Lives of Cadavers".)

I'll have a more detailed report later, but for now let's have a think about 2009.

Resolutions are entirely pointless and feel oh so forced, but I do hope to get more of my writing published this year and on a grander scale. Also, and perhaps more importantly than such trivial things as education, finaces and responsibility, I intened to go to at least one of X-JAPAN's concerts (which hopefully won't be cancelled for the 52869368th time). Hopefully I'll get to either one of the Japanese or American ones (preferably the later due solely to the exchange rate), but it all depends on what coincides with holidays. The footage of the NYE concert is being deleted and re-uploaded to JewTube faster than I can type, but holyyyyyyy shit Toshi's voice sounds so much better than it did in March! It's so clear and he doesn't sound like he has a sore throat for once! Do want <3

And now, as I have Uni tomorrow - happy fuckin' new year >_> - I shall depart. Enjoy your hangovers, mein lieben!
