Well this blog marks the beginning of my full access to UWA and the services they offer. I have only just upgraded my user account to full user status, so im taking full advantage of it to update what has been happening lately.
My first day was pretty nerve-racking, not knowing anyone and having to basically wing it on public transport that i had no idea how, when, or where to catch. Basically i was a nursed fowl released into the wild with nothing but its bands hands (and wallet) to survive. I managed to figure out pretty quickly that a smartrider card would be handy.
Anwyay i got there, all was good. Except that i had no friends, which didnt really change for the first two weeks. At least being a loner gave me the opportunity to concentrate fully at lectures, which we have 4 of everyday, along with a test and at least 3 hours of homework.
Ive been doing alright on my tests, averaging 64% over 11 tests with my lowest score being 48%. The marker was being a bitch that day... I also had an exam on tuesday which was hard but im confident i passed. If i didnt, ill be madder then kelly after a loss.
Speaking of Kelly, he, Brock and myself will all be moving into to trinity this weekend. A new friend i made recently is undercover (staying) at trinity already and informed me that Lyndon White is already staying there too. Well he told me some Computer Nerd kid who talks funny and i knew that to mean it was Lyndon. I cant wait to move, i checked it out the other day, its about 50m from the uni and right next door to the all girls college, no complaints there...
Umm what else can i say? We went to Moore River the other weekend to celebrate Brocks 19th, which was very eventful and the mornings very seedy. Cant wait to hang out like that again.
Dates to look forward to:
O-Week commences on Sunday the 15th.
Monday the 16th is my final exam, which im not looking forward to, but i cant wait to finish.
Rest of the year, living at trinity and being a bees dick away from anything that going on. ie, basketball, cricket or footy mtches, concerts, nightclubs, casinos, etc.
Just have to keep Brock away from the strip joints is all.
Sorry about the wait on the update, it couldnt be helped.
have fun, Alex.

Adios
I think thats how u spell it anyway...
Well im off, another one bites the dust. Because i am not as smart as everyone else, i get to learn uni for longer, and extra month in fact. Which means a have to leave on Monday, for 4 weeks of Calculated (get it, its Calculus?) torture.
Ill be back on the weekends though, and able to update the blog then.
So its a bit sad, and sometimes i cry myself to sleep thinking about it.
Ill miss you all.

The List
Okay, i had a dream. Wait, that sounds like Martin Luther a bit. But i actually did, and for some reason it was about a movie that i watched like half a year ago, The Bucket List.
For those who havnt seen it, its about two old dudes who are about to die and one of them is hella rich, and when the poor dude comes up with a list of all the stuff he wants to do before he dies, the rich dude takes them both around the world doing all the shit on the 'Bucket List'. Cool idea hey.
So in my dream i was doing all these cool things, after i had formed my own list. I cant remember my list in the dream, so im gonna start a list of All The Things You Should Do Before You Die (according to the Lamda Boys). And i want anyone reading to make suggestions of their own....

Work < Free Time
Today is the day i have been waiting for. It is the end point in a quest for which i have been undertaking for a long time, the elusive finish line of a marathon. Today, my friends, is the day of my last shift at Abbey Beach Resort.
For a month and a half anyway.
Its been a long time coming, but im finally gonna enjoy some time off, even if it is for like 12 days. Why only 12 days you ask? Because apparently i have to do a 4 week intensive bridging course to get up to scratch in calculus, before the real uni year starts. And its all in Perth, so i have to move up and everything. As to where im staying, im about as clueless as Jarryd is at Snowboarding. So if you have any ideas, call my assistant, and suggest something.
Or just comment here. Either one works.
So ive been on the phone to all these random people from all these faculties and centres and offices trying to sort this shit out pretty much, but im finally getting there. At least i have this weekend to take my mind of things, as the much anticipated Beach Campout Fest 09 is being held.
The lead organiser, the infamous Brock LeBron James Chewbacca Jeffery-Monck, has put out an official notice to all invited:
"There will be no beer. Beer is the Devils Drink... We will only drink what the God's have given us - Apple Schapps, Midori, and Cruisers. Oh how they taste like heaven..."
What a pussy. He sounds like more of a girl then Kelly when he talks about his 'feelings'. So if he thinks there will be no beer, he is sorely mistaken. But i wont bring much.
I will let you all know how it goes. Including my last shift, which starts in 90 minutes. Enough time to put my war-paint on i reckon.
T-Betta Out.

Long Time
Is what its been since i last updated. Over the festive season i must have been feeling too lazy or whatever.
Anyway, Christmas was good. Except that i had to work, but the $40ph was almost a present in the end. We had a massive family dinner, it was awesome. Seeing as my Dad is a chef and my Mummy is no crab in the old kitchen either...
Then we had family down a couple of days later, my dads Italian cousins and some of my closer relatives. We went down to Meelup and had a day out there, which was the bomb cos i saw Chad Fletcher and Tyson Stenglein, who said hello to me as we passed on the stairs... I think they were probably just excited to see me. Fans, what can you do....
New Years for me was pretty shit but apparently other people had a bit of fun. I worked at Abbey in the bar though, so at least it was a bit exciting... i got to see Chels for like half an hour, that was good while it lasted too. I was gonna go out a drink after, but no point at like 1 oclock is there?
Oh, and somewhere in there, Brock and Sam thought it would be nice to organise a beach hangout like 2 days before, so only a couple of the best could make it... Me of course, the infamous, and devious Brock, Sam, Calum and Karen. I must say, it was pretty enjoyable even with such a small group. So we plan to do it again this weekend, Saturday night, and make it a bigger and more regular thing i hope.
Southbound. Thats what im forgetting. It was hot damn good. And really hot too. Fvaoursites were the Kooks, Architecture in Helseinki and Faker. But not the Hahn Premium Light in the cans... tastes like boar water, ecpet you have to pay $5 for it.
Anyway, im late for work and thats all i can think of. Hope you had a happy christmas and a merry new year.
T-Betta out.

Disappointed
Thats how i would describe how im feeling at the moment. Im disappointed because noone has made much of an effort to win me over in the quest for an invitation to Abbey's Xmas Party. People should be sucking up to me and buying me presents... But its not happening. It should be, if you wanna go. You have 3 days to get some game and treat me.
Anyway, i have to blog and brag about me betting over the 2 days. I have won a combined $57, with 3 won bets and 1 lost bet. Just had to mention that. And that im not hearing much about Kelly and Brock's TAB accounts, so im guessing they are slowly succumbing to the system. Fools.
Since i last posted, it seems that Benny Cousins has found a home with Richmond. Good on him. I probably wouldnt have cared too much if he didnt get drafted, cos he sort of deserved it. But he did, and i just hope he smokes it (no pun intended) and everyone gets off his back for a while.
The only gay thing about the whole Ben Cousins saga, is how much its been in the media. Back and front page mention every day this week, and even on foxtel i see his noggin or hear about him every 5 minutes. Its pretty pathetic that there wasnt better news than where he was possibly, hypothetically, and maybe going to go. But i suppose Kelly's fight wasnt exactly back news material, and Calum's duck on the weekend wasnt much to write about...
Today i went over Mulks, again, and we played some poker. Tom forgot to bring his brain, and went all in on shit cards and was knocked out early. Calum was the early leader, while Kelly languished chip-wise towards the bottom for a long while. James won some back off Calum and Kelly perished soon after, leaving myself James and Calum in the game, with me on probably half the chips they each had. But you cant keep a player down for too long, and i called Calum's all in and won on the river with a straight, i was pretty happy.
The final between me and James dragged on for ages, as i just couldnt finish him, but the end result was as it was always going to be, a win to yours truly.
A repeat of the performance will happen soon, as a poker night is in the works...
