Today was a good day. The first entirely good Wednesday since I started uni (4 weeks ago... say what?!?) mainly because I understood the concepts (Hinduism & Buddhism) we talked about in my Asian History tute today. *grins*
And I was actually alert and concentrating in the lecture today too - a change of speaker does wonders, really. Not as good as the guy yesterday, but better than the first one. I've also picked an essay topic - so once I finish the little one I'm going to start researching... it'll be my first major essay so I want to take my time.
Speaking of assessments, I found out yesterday that all three of my major Indonesian assignments are due in the same week. One of these I chose which week to do ... just my luck. Ah well, guess what I'm doing over mid-semester break? (which can't come fast enough for me)
I don't want this to be too long, so I'll just leave with some hilarious moments from this week.
I went to see Jimeoin on Sunday night, after a fruitless and frustrating day working on my History assignment. I went with harpisan and S, her friend (nudge nudge wink wink say no more say no more) from uni. He is so good. Tears streaming down my face at points, and at others my laugh skipped the high-pitched (embarrassed) stage and went straight to silent... The blog title is from one of the funnier points of the show.
Jimeoin: So, it doesn't matter what knife you use to cut cheese, it always cuts at the same speed. *proceeds to mimic stabbing cheese* So, it could be the opposite to the speed of light. For example, such and such was walking at 4 times the speed of cheese.
Then later on in the show there he added it into this song. XD
Oh, and the half-hearted Haka. Imagine it. Freaking hilarious.
My tutor today kept going off in tangents. It was pretty funny - then you remember that he is, in fact, still a student... This is a direct quote (about Hinduism): 'So, essentially, you basically do everything right then you get to come back as a [insert name of caste here] and beat people up'
Deadpan.
But, the prize for the funniest tutor goes to my Indonesian one, Ibu Y. Our topic for this week is 'Health' particularly talking about AIDS. So, how it spreads, symptoms, prevention, you get the deal. We were discussing prevention, (all in Indonesian of course) and so condoms come up as subject matter.
Bu Y: *goes to say something* Oh, I shouldn't say that, you're all too young. *pauses* '... rasa stroberi'
*class gradually collapses into laughter as they remember that rasa means flavour*
I got it pretty fast, and it was pretty much one person would get it, then pass it on, and soon the whole class was laughing hysterically.
Also, the guy who said 'ini lebih baik tanpa itu' - literally 'it's better without one'
Then our tutor went along with it XD
Damn she's awesome.
