Long story, get comfy

I had a show on Friday night (gay show too), and so after the show the drummer, Brent, and I went to McDonald’s at a suburb called “Springwood” (at 1am) on the way home.  Brent generally is my transport to and from shows because of my Sleep Apnea.  I have a tendancy to uh… fall asleep whilst driving.  So yeah, stopped at McDonald’s (gross)

I ordered my food (gross) and was waiting for them to bring it to me.  In the mean time there were two kids, mid to late teens, one with a black hoody the other with a white hat, next to me sticking their train cards (“Go Cards”) into the EFTPOS machine (I hope EFTPOS is an international name for the card payment thingy-majiggy).  So I kinda looked at em and was like meh.  So i grabbed my food and sat down.  Brent and I had chat and finished our food in about 15 minutes and were gonna walk to the car.  Hmm.. something wasn’t right.  Oh I know…

I DIDN’T HAVE MY WALLET!

Ok so today I had my first Japanese listening test, and to be honest – I was freaking out.

Mentioned a million times before: I test well.  I’m good at exams, comfortable, never nervous, and it’s what I do best at.  However this was different.  I was freaking out!!! I felt severely underprepared.  The thing that was letting me down was definitely my vocab – which is terrible! I have SOOO much trouble remembering/recalling different vocab.  Obviously this would be a problem. Even if i know what they said – i wouldn’t know what they meant.  It’s the thing i have the most trouble with!

As the title/quote above suggests, this post will be about Scarface

Howdy!

First of all, Kanji test! I did heaps good! There’s a really good chance I aced it, so… fingers crossed.  I did a serious cram session trying to remember all the combinations I needed to – but i think I did it! Yay!

Now onto the real highlight of the day: Dinner with JB.

Yeah so… i rocked up to lecture today… walked in just as the “not-lecturer” said “Ok i’ll see you next week!”

An Actual photo of me at the time

After consulting my buddies they told me that the ACTUAL lecturer was sick and therefore lecture was cancelled.  I could’ve slept in! Oh well, more time to work on assignments I guess.

Ok this post is mainly just to open your eye’s to possibly the funniest guy on the planet.  I can’t possibly thank my friend JB from my Japanese class enough for telling me about his guy.  Who you ask? Hard Gay!

Ok so overseas peoples probably won’t know what “Centrelink” is.  So i’ll fill you in (without researching – mistakes may be present).

Centrelink is runned by the Australian Government (i think), they pretty much support people.  They’re kinda like a welfare thing but they do everything.  They supply extra money to students, families, pensioners, the disabled and other people in need.  They also help people gain employment.  They also help… students… who get thrown out of home… 6 months before leaving for a student exchange to Kansai Gaidai, Japan and needs to save all the money they can get… That’s what Centrelink does.  So whilst I’m in Japan I will continue to get payments from them (since i wont be earning money).  This is great news!  Gonna make life easy.  In fact, I’m getting a $500 back payment from them on Monday because they prolonged my application process by 8 weeks.
