Copper - Crossover

So wow. yes i havnt blogged in about a week and a half, and i have good reason for this.

MY LIFE HAS BEEN INSANE! for said time.

basically, in the last week/fortnight. My grandmother died (god rest her soul.) The italian exchange students showed up forcing me onto a couch so sleep therefor im tired all the time. I changed Uni’s (which ive mentioned several times) and the workload skyrocketed, also they wont give me my accreditation for my other units. There was a massive break in yesterday in the house next door to us so we have been helping them while improving the security of our own house and last, but cirtanly not least, my girlfriend (who i still care about very much) breaks up with me yesterday telling me she is gay and she was really distraught about hurting my feelings.

My last week and a half in a nutshell.

In all honesty. I believe that this would make one hell of an australian drama TV miniseries… exept there is no atempted suicide… but anyway, the point of this blog is a realisation i had. It sounds like im complaining about all this stuff happening to me above but im not. I learnt a lot about myself in the last two weeks, although i lost a great deal… I realised exactly what i had and im very greatful for that.

anyway ive been sappy enough for one day. ive gotta go get ready for uni.

BYE =]

I had a design idea!

Huzzah, success at last. now I have to retain the information and somehow turn it into an assignment. oh and i have to get all my homework done… i have to much homework. I have a ten minute oral presentation in my foundation unit, im actually looking forward to it, i already chose my topic, its on technology as a sustaining factor in modern life. I have a few ideas but feel free to help =]

I havnt posted in a few days as my life has been rather hectic at the moment. to the point where i come home, i shower and i sleep and i go out again in the morning. having 8 people in the house, still partially living out of boxes and visiting my dying grandmother in hospital every spare minute does not not help when he has to study because he actually has homework.

Which reminds me, the class that i have the oral presentation in, we met our new tutor today. He is a really interesting person. his name is sinisha and he is a physicist who focuses on music specifically the human voice. He has a great accent and seems to know a lot about just about anything. I hope ill learn a lot from him. Our class is prity cool too lots of interesting people. That by the way was the reference to the title… the silver sound (cause he studies music)

But other than this i dont have much else to say… other than it was nice to catch up with all my old drama buddies who i havnt seen in some time…

I think thats it folks… HEY! wait, no i lie. just an update on the musical front, my sister and her boyfriend managed to aquire a drum kit. so now we have a full on band going in the garage. its really really awesome.

but other than that, now im finished…

thankyou for keeping me sane (all you 3 people that probably wont even read this :P)

thursday is my day off.

the day where i dont have to go to uni or worry about anything like housework, on a thursday im either studying or being with friends. Im happy to say that today i slept in and hung around with my very good friend and potions master severus snape… not really actually i was in the city with a good friend of mine all afternoon looking at art and playing with a tennis ball cannon that fired the tennis ball into the other tennis ball cannon *ITS A CIRCLE!!!!*

but i had a great time

we just chilled and talked, it was a great distraction from the aweful world that is university right now. Im learning… but its slow. speaking of slow education - that tute i was so scared about (the 3D graphics one) the tutor was an hour late! to his own tutorial, turns out drawing is gonna be a big part of this unit, so im going to need to learn how to draw fast. I was drawn today - it was very good. shes a good artist… although she’d never admmit it.

So i have another class tomorrow (i still havnt checked my timetable to see when it is) but i do know that its for my favorite lecture by far, so im not scared about it.

im a little worried because i have no new ideas

we have to do homework for 3D design and we have to do a design doc. for a random thing… and its crazy, like the ammount of work we have to put in just for the homework alone is a full day, and he said this was just the easy weeks work. aparently its going to get harder. but the real challenge is that we have to use our own idea for the design… i hope i can think of something.

and just a random fact about me, im a huge harry potter nerd.

like i mean, stupidly so… i dont like how the books ended and really, i see lauren lopez as draco now. she is bariliant. as is the rest of the star kid group.

and i rekon thats about it for today… i dont have much else to say other than im really tired, like reallllllllyyyyyy tired. so im going to head off to bed.

night readers

So really its only the morning after i started my blog, but i already have a follower =] and someone, whom i think i know, asked me a question so i felt that i needed to post again to answer it. (unless there is a simpler way to answer peoples questions on their pages - any help is apreciated)

To answer your question (WTWTA) i have known about tumblr for a while now, it is just that i was never really into the whole ‘writing down my life for everyone to see’ before. Although now i believe that it is a great outlet for creativity (and insanity.)

Also to clear things up about this blog the title “copper-crossover” is a type of cable that we learned about in ‘data communications’ that enables computers to connect that wouldnt normally be able to connect with just a straight copper cable. I thought this was an ok metaphor for what im doing now. Connecting with people that i normally wouldnt connect with.

So i guess thats it for this morning, depending on how well my (3 hour) 3D graphics tutorial goes today i might have to vent some frustration tonight, but hey maybe i wont =]

Ok, so now im scared…

So i started Uni after transfering mid-semester and i think i have a problem on my hands. I started out at ECU which tends to have a laid back feel for its units and assingments. I went into a 3D modeling lecture this morning, and the lecturer said ‘you must put in 8 hours a week minimum plus 40 extra hours for assignment completion to pass this unit.’

Thats just an example, one of my other units - data communications - is all about setting up networks and understanding how computers communicate and work on a hardware and software basis. I went into my first tutorial at 8:30 this morning (after being throughly scared yesterday by the lecture which almost made my brain explode) and my mind has a woman who looks strangly like emma watson but older saying something along the lines of (and in a rather condesending voice) “Launcelot… Iknow you play computer games and you like to go on facebook a lot, but you have no idea what is going on here. why did you join this class again?”

to which i replied with “Because I’m a fucking wizard miss watson”

And then as i was talking to my imaginary emma watson, a thought occured to me. I am in way over my head.  Hence the blog. My reasoning is thus - if i use this blog correctly i can use it to broadcast my ideas for my 3D design units, rewrite some of the more complex or interesting things in my data communications unit, stay awake in my foundation units lecture (oh my god, seriously 10 minutes and im asleep) hopefully get some feedback and maybe even some ideas from you guys and last but not the least (in fact probably the most) i might just retain some sanity talking to you guys because i really dont think i will be able to retain a social life with the ammount of study i have to do.

So you will hear more from me in the future, im planning on posting every day maybe every 2 days, but we will see how that goes with my workload.

Happy Trolling.
