*** yesterday ***

i got up early for class, which was, umm, not good. we then had a stupid class (which was kinda fun). i slept a bit, and GOT MY WALKMAN SORTED OUT... turned out the md player was fine, but grootbek damaged the ac/dc adapter. he'll be paying for that.

we all got dressed up, and went to an opening ceremony for an avenue on campus. we got university t-shirts, and weird cocktail food. some of which was really tasty.

afterwards, yogi gave me and grootbek a ride to another ceremony - we got kinda lost on the way, and yogi lost his temper, but we made it there eventually.

to a very, very wealthy and pretentious house.

lots of amazing food, a swimming pool that's just too pretty to swim in, but the best part was seeing a lot of friends from my first university class.
i'm just a little sad that i'm not graduating with them, but a lot of things have happened because of that, and i suppose it's all for the best.

*** today ***

wow - CRAZY day. i'm at work now, and it's the most relaxed part (we'll ignore the crisis that we had to overcome)...

yogi and i had a presentation for today. we discovered that something had gone wrong with it, and we had an hour (during class) to redo it from scratch. which we did. we saved it in two places, and turned off the computer.

when we turned it back on, all the work had disappeared, from both places... yogi flipped out, lost it completely, and i had to deal with him, as well as have a long talk with the professor - explaining the situation and figuring out what to do with the project in general.
hmmph.

i finally finished my marketing project - i really hope i did it as i was supposed to. the lecturer said he'll get around to it in the next two weeks.
*stress* *stress* *stress*

i'm working with psychotic american on a project again, this time with a mutual friend who's proved his worth, and NOT grootbek :P. we've already gotten a good start, so there's a lot less stress on that side.

i managed to get through to the army today. in spite of the fact that i didn't do the most important test (it's called "quality group", a score that makes ALL the difference (and you're not allowed to know what it is)), it turns out that i've already been assigned a score. i'm now worried that they didn't do me any favours...

i got my two elective credits for the taekwondo tournament, which will take a while to process, but it's nice that that's done.

taekwondo national championship on the 28th: if i gain two kilos, i will have to fight against a guy who weighs 120-130kg, is a national champion for lord-only-knows-how-long, and has a tendency to break other people's bones and faces.
i'm going to try not to gain those kilos, but it may be pointless because they might use a dodgy scale (has happened before).

which reminds me, my leg still hurts. i'm not impressed. in fact, it hurts so badly that i couldn't sleep last night.

mmm - we had sushi for supper. it was GOOD.
