Quick post to tell you guys I'm not dead. I've just been really reclusive the last few days because I've been watching stuff. No animes yet unfortunately because I can't get back into it still :/ So I've been watching some other stuff (fairly odd parents and friends if you must know...yes I am ashamed), but while I've been doing that, I've continued with my cross stitching which I'm close to finishing. Probably a day or two before I finish it I think. Hmm what else.... Oh, I was wondering if you guys could help me out here. I was invited to this party on the 1st, and was wondering if I should go? It's at night, and around South Yarra, so it's a little inconvenient to go. Also, I don't really know this guy that well, and there are only a few people I know, and I we always end up in awkward silences as well... The guy hosting said he could allow a max of 10 people to sleepover but that is just even more awkward. I'm thinking I shouldn't bother going but I don't often hang out with my uni friends except for this one girl :/ Saddd.... Sometimes I wonder why I'm a design student... I totally do not fit the stereotype well.

Sour Kiwifruit

Does that title make you think of it? XD Sooooo..... I finished yesterday!!! Got my Jap exam over and done with!! Can't believe I can just relax now x] It wasn't too bad, but overall, I'm not sure how I went. I'm also hoping that my lazy attempt to write 4 sentences to some jap pen pal won't fail me. It wasn't exactly something that showed off my vocab or anything. Just 4 simple sentences. Coz, as I realised how close I was to the end of the exam, I was ready to stop. Concentrating intently for an hour and a half is not my thing. I certainly get things done, but... well I'm an art design student? XD
I'm hoping these holidays will be filled with lots of fun, hanging out with people and stuff. Which is rare to say the least. I've changed so much since starting uni; I can tell. I actually look forward to the future and what it has to hold now, unlike a few years back when I would think I wish it would all just end... But like I said, I'm looking forward to the future :D

Today I handed in my last assignment for the semester, which was a 10 min documentary. Glad to say that it didn't turn out too bad, except there are a few imperfections which I had known about, except could not be stuffed to fix. So needless to say, the teacher picked up on that. (We had a screening of all the documentaries).
What's eating me now is the what I said about someone else's documentary. It wasn't bad per say, really just constructive criticism. Except I only really stated the negative stuff, stuff I didn't really like about it etc. Damn it, why do I have to be so blunt sometimes?! Why couldn't I have said some nice things like they have some good cutaways or something? But nooo I only list all the bad stuff...-.-" I feel so horrible now, worst because they're international students, and I sort of feel like I should try and support them or something. I felt so bad that I even sent them a message saying how sorry I was for being so harsh. >.<"
I don't think the teacher should ever ask me for feedback :/

Bored to death

I've been working on my Jap revision, but my notes are limited, and not very useful. I guess this means I'll have to take a look at the textbook and learn from that. I don't know if it's me being obnoxious, but I feel that I know most of it, at least I think I do. Which is not helpful because it makes me just that more lazy to go and revise.
So because I am sooooo bored out of my wits, I'm going to spam you guys with some links.

The last two are flash mob videos so yeah... I would love to witness one on a big scale. >____< That would be so cool!!
Does anybody have skype or something? I'm so bored lately... can't believe that uni has taken up so much of my time that I don't even know what to do anymore:/ It's resulted in me watching movies pretty much everyday. Not even anime o.O Which is bad because I've still got to finish so many series... ahh why don't I feel like doing anything anymore??

Lol I just watched the breaking dawn trailer... >_< Haha the sex scene... seriously. Why the hell would they put that in the trailer? Doesn't that put people off?

OMG I am so frickin' happy XD I've just finished the documentary with my friend, which is has taken too bloody long. She came over last week and stayed a night, and then came back this week on Monday and ended up staying over for 3 days -.-" Not that I hated it or anything, but it's kind of hard to provide food, bed, etc for 3 days when you aren't even prepared for it. And it got kind of cramped in my room, and my room is small to begin with. And she kind of snores as well lol. But. WE'RE FINISHED!!! You have no idea how happy it makes me >_< I just hope that the teacher will like it, and see how much effort we put into it. Coz, for one of our other classes, we totally got smashed by the teacher who criticized the group video we submitted (which was essentially edited by one person because we all made our individual edits and chose one in the end).
Also! I got my mark back for my flash game! A distinction!! Woot!! I don't know how that happened, but yes! Those were some stressful nights involved. Admittedly, I had help because one of my friend gave me his flash file and I worked around it (but he kind of got that off someone else too...><) so I somehow managed. Phew.
..I did get back my marks for the screenplay turned short film :/ Not that amazingly great. 29/40. If it were just that one mark extra, I would be ecstatic. Just...29? Not a nice number. And I didn't even get feedback for that assignment either. Damn him. Damn all multimedia teachers. They never ever seem to give any feedback.

Lately I've been downloading vids off youtube because I've been so bored. Downloaded Charice's Louder MV.

I really like this song. Also the MV- typography! Haha>_< Would be so cool if I could have done this for my Life so far project at the start of this year.

Yesterday, my friend from Geelong came to sleepover at my house, which is the first time that I've done that. We had to work on our documentary idea, so it was just easier if she could stay over rather than go back at the end of the day to Geelong -.- So tomorrow, I'm going to be in Geelong, filming her aunty, who we plan to interview on topics like motherhood and stuff (feels too vague...) and then I'll have to come back to Melbourne after that. It's really hard to come up with questions. We don't really know exactly where we want this interview to go, so I think we decided on something similar to human interest story (eg. Oprah?) kind of feel. I wish we were given a specific brief, rather than something of your own choosing; a lot of our uni briefs have been vague in all areas, except for the IT subject. Stupid design courses. They seriously lack a proper structure and good feedback. They're really wishy washy. Sort of good in a way that that might be what real clients are like; they often don't know what they want. But it wouldn't hurt to get some constructive criticism while they're at it.
