Stuff.
SO..
Annoyed I am again because Uni starts again this Monday and I haven't enrolled into one of my subjects because the silly system won't allow me because my results still say I've failed Programming. However, the form to update my results to a distinction was submitted four days ago, the system just hasn't updated them. So I'm a bit worried about that..seeing as Uni starts next week and all. That subject runs on a Friday though. So I still have a week to get it sorted. I just don't like the stress of having to worry about it. I did email my subject coordinator though. He should sort it out today hopefully.

It was my 19th yesterday. For the first time I can remember I didn't have school on my birthday, so I was at a bit of a loss as to what to do. Most of my friends had already started Uni and TAFE this week so they couldn't spend the day with me. I ended up going to Gloria Jeans just up the road with two of my friends who were free and having an iced chocolate.
I ordered a small iced chocolate and it cost me $4.20. Now, last time I ordered a small iced chocolate it only cost me $3.95. So when the cashier told me how much it would cost I just thought she had ordered me a medium sized by mistake. Then I looked at the price sign and it was $4.20. How can they go up by 25c? They're just being greedy now. Just because the price of petrol goes up doesn't mean they can up the price of a small drink to over $4.
Anyway, we were in there for about 3 hours, after which my friend dropped me off back home. I spent the rest of the afternoon watching cartoons -- Eliot Kid is my new favourite cartoon at the moment.
At around 5ish I got a phone call saying that two of my friends -- Fishy and Noblar -- were standing on my front veranda. Apparently my house needs a doorbell. I disagree. If nobody can hear you knock then you just have to be persistent and knock harder.
Anyhoo, they bought me flowers and a chocolate cake and stayed for a few hours until they had to leave for dinner.
They're also taking me out for dinner on Saturday night. And on Sunday I'm going to see Cirque Du Soleil with my mother and little sister (my birthday present). I also got a couple of CD's -- Weezer's new album and The Last Shadow Puppets album. Oh, and candy from my friend Sam. She rocks. As does a bag full of lollies.

Lately I've been listening to the readings by three random Scottish guys of really bad fan fictions. It's great. Whoever posted the link to their first reading of My Immortal in the Q&A Thread on Mibba, I thank you.

I need to mooch somebody's timetable off them to find the room numbers. XD
AND IT WASN'T EVEN COFFEE I WAS DRINKING! It was iced chocolate. They should only put up the price of coffee.

How can they go up by 25c?
It's not only gas Vonny, but the price of coffee has skyrocketed too. They call coffee the new gold. Sux I know cos I drink a ton of the stuff.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTERDAY VONNY!!
Uni can be a pain in the butt with automated systems and the people being slow on feeding in updated data. Even if you are not enrolled in time you can stll show up for lectures and get the material, just advise the lecturer what is going on.
