Second week at uni this week, and MAN has it been hectic (please note my sarcasm). I've only got 8 contact hours (plus lots of reading - it IS arts!) which is pretty nice. I'm actually really looking forward to all my subjects I think - especially anthropology ('conflict and crisis'- looking at conflict all around the world like Sierra Leone, Sudan, Rwanda, Northern Ireland, endless list really). My lecturers for classics and history are such characters, so stereotypical, which I love. The classics guy puts up random far side cartoons in lectures, and otherwise likes to illustrate his points with stick figure drawings (his own, of course). It annoyed me at first, but now I'm warming to it. The history guy we just met today, and... well, my description wouldn't be adequate. He's at the more mature end of the age spectrum (a nice way of saying he's a bit old), walks with a stoop, had this great comb over, a dry sense of humour, and is passionate about what he teaches (he likes to look at the medieval era (the topic of the course) for fun, as opposed to his specialist area!). Oh yeah, and he described his take on medieval history as more Monty Python than Dan Brown. How can that not appeal?
Here are some pics I took of my beauty of a cat Charlie yesterday arvo.
Conveniant spot in the sun, or alien abduction?
How embarrassing for her, I caught that on camera. Check out her fangs!
Isn't she gorgeous? And despite the slight blurriness, the lighting's pretty good in this shot.
Also, on a random note - I went jogging on Dan and Phili's treadmill this afternoon. Yay random efforts at improved fitness, AND being able to watch Battlestar Gallactica at the SAME TIME!!
That is all :P

ohoh oh!! I had that bloke for my history lecture eariler this week, and i've got him tomorrow and once more next week! It's like being taught by a long-haired Rolf Harris!
Tell me, did you do the anthro assignment last year where you observe people eating in a public place and then write about it? Cos if you did PLEASE can you tell me what the hell you're supposed to write?! I was told to "look at everything and write about it, but you can't see everything, so yeah.... It'll come to you as we go along....Hopefully!"
Also, les photographies sont très bonne
YES Rolf Harris with long hair, that's so it!! With a little less cheese though, and a dash of John Cleese. The first time I had him for a lecture last year i spent half the time drawing him, because i just had to!
I didn't do THAT anthro assignment last year, we could just come up with whatever we wanted to do. But I happened to do Macca's on Hindley St (eating place)which is kind of similar. We were just told to write down anything we wanted, patterns in behaviour, descriptions of people (that can be fun), anything that happens, or doesn't happen, diagrams (like seating arrangements or the area or whatever)etc... That's prob just as general tho!
And merci monsieur beaucoup aimable :o)
