Just a bit gusty today? Hey look at that, I'm understating something. I just learned aboot that in Uni. Hooray, I'm learning!

But seriously, people have died because of the wind. I'm not kidding. I think a pile of bricks fell on a woman (that's what I heard anyway). Also a scaffolding collapsed and a guy died (apparently). Not good.

Despite the wind (or should I say because of the wind), I'm in a rather happy mood. Twas a good day at uni. First my screen practices tutorial was fun (as usual) and I have a very good idea about what I'm going to do for my assessment thingy, in which I have to make a story board for a short film WITH NO CUTS! GASP, SHOCK AND HORROR! But I've got a good idea. So that's good. Introduction to Uni tutorial was boring, made slightly more interesting when the lights went out, but did make it clear on what exactly I have to do for my assessment task essay whatsit that's due next week which I haven't started yet. Oops. Meh, it's only 800 words. I could probably do all of it tonight if I felt like it. But Spicks and Specks is on. Oh well.

Here's where things get even better. My lecture for Screen Practices was cut short today because the power was off. While Mr Super Boring Lecture Man still gave the lecture, it only took about half an hour. Hooray! (He also revealed that he used to do some boring crappy radio thingy which would help explain in boring monotonous droning voice and why I hate him so much.) Keep in mind that this lecture is supposed to be for two hours, and it took only half an hour. He didn't get a chance to show any examples of what he was talking about.

Now if he takes half an hour to speak, and what I estimate as an hour to show stuff from various films or whatever, that leaves him a whole other half hour to suck at using the projectors and stuff in the lecture theater. He cannot use them to save his life. That is also why I hate him so.

So lecture cut short and I just miss the tram home. I wait a while at the tram stop, and in that time THREE TRAMS arrive and depart in the opposite direction. WTF? But once the tram DOES arrive, I almost can't get on the bloody thing because were so many damn people on it. I'm guessing that the wind may have delayed some public transport (not that it needs it. It can mess things up just fine without help from the weather). However I do JUST manage to get on. And since I was so close to the door it wasn't a problem getting off the tram . So I get off the tram and through a HUGE stroke of luck and good timing, Mr I-never-turn-up Bus ACTUALLY TURNED UP. Again, WTF? So I actually catch the bus and don't have to walk all the way home. It shaves aboot 10-15 minutes off getting home.

So by the time I'm home the slightly bad mood I was in this morning turned into a very good mood. And there were even an uprooted tree in the park next to my house, and branches everywhere.

Oh yeah, I got my tablet working with my new computer (it wasn't working before, I needed to install new drivers). So that's good. But I haven't tried hooking up my scanner yet. Busy with assignments and umm...other things too nerdy to mention. And I've got like a million assignments to do (hey look, hyperbole. I really am learning stuff at uni). Well that one due next week. But I want to get started on my Screen Practices one soon. So, I might see about hooking my scanner up on the weekend. Don't have any actual comics done, but I've got a few random sketches from boring lectures I'll put up because I feel bad I haven't done anything in aaaaaagggggeeeeeesssssss.

END POINTLESS RAMBLINGS!
