Uni Blabber

Well, this has been a loooooooong day. I got up at 5am! We're not meant to get up at that hour! Anyway, I went to the stupid Hungarian with 3 other colleagues from my study group but then it turned out that we cannot take that class. Stupid non-functioning University! So we had to sign out of it (not that I'm sorry!) and we took 2 other elective courses, both in English, Sociolinguistics and Shakespeare and the Theory of Literature but maybe we won't be needing both of those (stupid mix up with ECTS points in the 1st semester!). We'll know everything on Thursday and then, hopefully, I'll be able to get rid of the stupid Shakespeare.
Then we had Essay Writing. I liked that. It seems useful and I liked the professor. Ok, it had to do a lot with the fact that the professor seemed to like me too. She was talking about her class and digressed then stopped and asked: Where was I with this? and I said: At the instructions. and she pointed her finger at me and said: Right! then continued. So she was talking again then suddenly paused and asked: What's the word for... for... dosljedno? and I said: Consistent. Then she pointed her finger at me again and asked for my name and said she'll make me a demonstrator (it's a student that does stuff but I'm not sure exactly what) and I went: No, no! but she told her assistant to circle my name on the list or else she'd forget it. I'm not sure if she actually meant anything by it but if she did, what on Earth did I get myself into with 4 words??!
Well, that's about it. Tomorrow I have only one class in the morning (THANK GOD!!!) and then I'm free for the rest of the day. There'll be a lot of sleeping going on...

Emotional

Ok, WTF was THAT?
When I see a movie that has a love story going on (and trust you me, the movies I watch have love stories going on!!!) and when I'm rooting for the couple like crazy then they OUGHT TO stay together!
And what was that???
I can't have that shit going on! I get depressed enough from real life!
They better give me some happy fucking endings in movies!!!!

UPDATE: It's 11.12pm now and I am crying over Grey's Anatomy and Meredith taking the bomb out of the patient.
But I'm actually crying over myself and the fact that I'm not gonna make it. What was I thinking? Hungarian?!
Fuck, it's not that either. I'll never make it through college. I just can't do it. I can't do it.

Oscars Review

So, the Oscars...
All right, I admit it, I watched the tape, I totally couldn't stay awake.
Anyway... As I didn't see any of the movies yet, I watched the dresses. It's hard to have favourites when none of the nominees was Went.
So, what did I like?
*gets notes* *really* *stop laughing*
~ Leo was adorable blushing when Ellen mentioned him and said she had no joke, just wanted to give the ladies the opportunity to look at him for a few seconds.
~ Abigail & Jaden were sooooo cute! And boy, that kid reacts fast! Must have got it from his daddy!
~ Sound Effects Choir - oh my God! How cool was that? Making all those effects on the spot? Amazing!
~ In the breaks, I loved the quotes from movies that were popping up: Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn! - Hello, Clarice. - Rosebud. - I'm king of the world! - I see dead people. - Show me the money! ...
~ Robert Downey Jr. presenting - I just love him, he's hot!
~ And of course, Kate Winslet looked like a goddess! Very minty! The woman can't go wrong. Gorgeous.
I didn't like what Gwyneth was wearing, it was just blah. And Nicole looked like a Christmas gift. Odd.


And now about me. Just a sentence or two. We got the schedule for the Croatian classes today. So from now on, every Tuesday I'll be leaving my house at 5.40am and returning at 9.50pm. That is all.

Oscars Or Sleep?

So it's back to classes tomorrow morning. I'm getting up at 6.20 and it won't be easy after almost a month of NOT getting up at 6.20.
Another thing that will make it hard is me planning to watch the Oscars. You see, the ceremony starts at 2am and lasts till... well, no one can tell, right? But it should end somewhere around 6. Do you see the trouble? Yes, sleeping for 20 minutes is not the best idea. The worst part is that, according to the new timetable, I'm supposed to be at the Uni till 9pm. It's fucked up, I tell you.That would be not sleeping for about 36 hours.
Doable?
Well, I'll know tomorrow.

Uni Blabber

Call me crazy but I had this weird and disturbing dream that I was at Uni (most of you know my classes start tomorrow) and there was some mix-up with the schedule. I was confused and lost in it so when I woke up about 20 minutes ago, I immediately turned computer on to check it (our mentor sent us our schedule yesterday). I just wanted to make sure it was still here.
*shakes head at self*
It doesn't even do me that much good since we only got the schedule for English. I'm still in dark about Croatian. Dammit! Now I fear there'll be some major overlapping again... (Or as our professors prefer to say - collision. I know you don't see what's so funny about it but if you heard that damn word 20 000 times in the first week at Uni, you would laugh too!)

Saturday Blabber

I am so boooored. Seriously. It's Saturday night and I feel like banging my head against the wall. I asked a friend to go out but we didn't.
I guess the highlight of the evening will be getting really depressed watching "Brokeback Mountain".
Must I mention I'm also hungry?
Yeah, partying all the way here...
Sister's bf said he would take me to the city so I can rent a movie and I already decided I was gonna take "Mr & Mrs Smith" (I know, you're probably laughing, or maybe hating me for liking Brad Pitt) because I wanted to watch something that requres no brain at all and also something with a lot of accumulated hotness but then he left to a dinner with friends.
I like my sister's bf but this was just wrong. I think a serious conversation is about to take place...

Uni Blabber & Summer Plans

I totally aced Phonetics and Phonology! Yaaay!
And I got a B in Introduction to Literature!
Total score: 5 exams taken, one A and four Bs.!Totally better than expected!
My poor mom was yelling across the street to a neighbour how I did. She claims the woman asked her about it but I doubt it.
Well, let her enjoy it while it lasts.

We had to take an additional elective course and most of us took Hungarian. It's gonna be fun, I hope. Well, either fun or a nightmare.

I realized I won't be able to go back to Krk to work during the summer. No way.
Too much studying I'll have to do over the summer so I'll have to stay home.
But Maja asked me to come with her for a week of vacation to Krk.
(It seems noe like there's only one island at Croatian coast. It's just a coincidence, I assure you.)
But it's a long time till summer comes and I'll probably make Maja hate me for some reason in between so let's not make a big deal out of it.
Nevertheless, Maja, it was very very sweet of you to invite me and it means more to me than you'll ever know.
