Alright. So the current system isn't working.
"oh just cap it when you need to use it" is a fucking sham. Come use my computer. Try to check your email. See what I mean. We have broadband. This is not technology of the future, guys. This is something they offer at airports. Do you know what else they offer at airports? Free tea and coffee.
The internet state can now no longer be blamed on slingshot or Telecom, because I am the ever keen observer and:
1) Slingshot's network status is green (no problems)
2) I can see you browsing.
---
So, since it isn't working, what can we do to fix it?
I can't very well buy my own ADSL. We only have one phone line.
I cannot very well destroy Richard's computer. That's dumb. And plus, there might be the miniscule chance it's not his fault (but it probably is)
So. What shall we do?
it is, at this stage, either:
1) Sit here, and wait five minutes for hotmail to time out, and then try again.
2) Hire a hitman (not logical, and the costliest option) (seriously guys, don't look at me like that, it's a joke)
3) Get some other internet.
Now; they don't do woosh here in East Auckland. Oh, no.
SO IM PROBABLYU GONNA GET THAT UFCKING BULLSHIT VODEM SHIT FUCK Do i really want to pay $60 bucks a month or some ridiculous number just so that I can go online at an acceptable speed? I SWEAR 56k was faster.
*sigh*
We shall have to retire and consider this matter a touch further.
---
Point of no return, I paid the deposit and signed the contract today. I'll be in Grafton next year.
---
The start of Michael Jackson's "History" has like...some bit of Ravel's orchestration of Pictures at an Exhibition, I believe.
---
2 more assignments...
---
My sister is coming to NZ! Or is she? Maybe if I put it online, it'll concrete and cement like solidarity.
That didn't make sense.
---
Almost 9pm? where did my day go? Hmph.
---
blah blah emo dark blah blah blah
Keep your chin up, summer's on its way.

I still abhor chain letters, but this one from my sister is quite funny.
It would be fun to act out all 50 on film or something.
Fifty Fun Things To Do During A Final That You Know You Are Going To Fail
1. Bring a pillow. Fall asleep (or pretend to) until the last 15 minutes.
Wake up, say "oh geez, better get cracking" and do some gibberish work. Turn
it in a few minutes early.
2. Get a copy of the exam, run out screaming "Andre, Andre, I've got the
secret documents!!"
3. If it is a math/science exam, answer in essay form. If it is long
answer/essay form, answer with numbers and symbols. Be creative. Use the
integral symbol.
4. Make paper airplanes out of the exam. Aim them at the instructor's
left nostril.
5. Talk the entire way through the exam. Read questions aloud, debate
your answers with yourself out loud. If asked to stop, yell out, "I'm SOOO
sure you can hear me thinking." Then start talking about what a jerk the
instructor is.
6. Bring cheerleaders.
7. Walk in, get the exam, sit down. About five minutes into it, loudly
say to the instructor, "I don't understand ANY of this. I've been to every
lecture all semester long! What's the deal? And who the hell are you?
Where's the regular guy?"
8. Bring a Game Boy (or Game Gear, etc...). Play with the volume at max
level.
9. On the answer sheet (book, whatever) find a new, interesting way to
refuse to answer every question. For example: I refuse to answer this
question on the grounds that it conflicts with my religious beliefs. Be
creative.
10. Bring pets.
11. Run into the exam room looking about frantically. Breathe a sigh of
relief. Go to the instructor, say "They've found me, I have to leave the
country" and run off.
12. Fifteen minutes into the exam, stand up, rip up all the papers into
very small pieces, throw them into the air and yell out "Merry Christmas."
If you're really daring, ask for another copy of the exam. Say you lost the
first one. Repeat this process every fifteen minutes.
13. Do the exam with crayons, paint, or fluorescent markers.
14. Come into the exam wearing slippers, a bathrobe, a towel on your head,
and nothing else.
15. Come down with a BAD case of Tourette's Syndrome during the exam. Be
as vulgar as possible.
16. Do the entire exam in another language. If you don't know one, make
one up! For math/science exams, try using Roman numerals.
17. Bring things to throw at the instructor when s/he's not looking. Blame
it on the person nearest to you.
18. As soon as the instructor hands you the exam, eat it.
19. Walk into the exam with an entourage. Claim you are going to be taping
your next video during the exam. Try to get the instructor to let them stay,
be persuasive. Tell the instructor to expect a percentage of the profits if
they are allowed to stay.
20. Every five minutes, stand up, collect all your things, move to another
seat, continue with the exam.
21. Turn in the exam approximately 30 minutes into it. As you walk out,
start commenting on how easy it was.
22. Do the entire exam as if it was multiple choice and true/false. If it
is a multiple choice exam, spell out interesting things (DCCAB. BABE.
etc..).
23. Bring a black marker. Return the exam with all questions and answers
completely blacked out.
24. Get the exam. Twenty minutes into it, throw your papers down
violently, scream out "Fuck this!" and walk out triumphantly.
25. Arrange a protest before the exam starts (i.e. Threaten the instructor
that whether or not everyone's done, they are all leaving after one hour to
go drink)
26. Show up completely drunk. (Completely drunk means at some point during
the exam, you should start crying for mommy).
27. Every now and then, clap twice rapidly. If the instructor asks why,
tell him/her in a very derogatory tone, "the light bulb that goes on above
my head when I get an idea is hooked up to a clapper. DUH!"
28. Comment on how sexy the instructor is looking that day.
29. Come to the exam wearing a black cloak. After about 30 minutes, put on
a white mask and start yelling "I'm here, the phantom of the opera" until
they drag you away.
30. Go to an exam for a class you have no clue about, where you know the
class is very small, and the instructor would recognize you if you belonged.
Claim that you have been to every lecture. Fight for your right to take the
exam.
31. Upon receiving the exam, look it over, while laughing loudly, say "you
don't really expect me to waste my time on this drivel? Days of our Lives is
on!!!"
32. Bring a water pistol with you. Nuff said.
33. From the moment the exam begins, hum the theme to Jeopardy. Ignore the
instructor's requests for you to stop. When they finally get you to leave
one way or another, begin whistling the theme to the Bridge on the River
Kwai.
34. Start a brawl in the middle of the exam.
35. If the exam is math/science related, make up the longest proofs you
could possibly think of. Get pi and imaginary numbers into most equations.
If it is a written exam, relate everything to your own life story.
36. Come in wearing a full knight's outfit, complete with sword and
shield.
37. Bring a friend to give you a back massage the entire way through the
exam. Insist this person is needed, because you have bad circulation.
38. Bring cheat sheets FOR ANOTHER CLASS (make sure this is obvious...
like history notes for a calculus exam... otherwise you're not just failing,
you're getting kicked out too) and staple them to the exam, with the comment
"Please use the attached notes for references as you see fit."
39. When you walk in, complain about the heat. Strip.
40. After you get the exam, call the instructor over, point to any
question, ask for the answer. Try to work it out of him/her.
41. One word: Wrestlemania.
42. Bring balloons, blow them up, start throwing them around like they do
before concerts start.
43. Try to get people in the room to do the wave.
44. Play frisbee with a friend at the other side of the room.
45. Bring some large, cumbersome, ugly idol. Put it right next to you.
Pray to it often. Consider a small sacrifice.
46. Get deliveries of candy, flowers, balloons, telegrams, etc... sent to
you every few minutes throughout the exam.
47. During the exam, take apart everything around you. Desks, chairs,
anything you can reach.
48. Complete the exam with everything you write being backwards at a 90
degree angle.
49. Bring a musical instrument with you, play various tunes. If you are
asked to stop, say "it helps me think." Bring a copy of the Student Handbook
with you, challenging the instructor to find the section on musical
instruments during finals. Don't forget to use the phrase "Told you so".
50. Answer the exam with the "Top Ten Reasons Why Professor xxxx Sucks"
It would be fun to act out all 50 on film or something.

So, I spent all this time cleaning my room and house, and now I'm going to move out?
Haha.
---
Today, me and Helen both had massive breaks, so Helen nicely decided to take me on a Grafton Residence tour; felt a bit weird to just randomly traipse through the grounds, but I guess I had a legit reason to be there.
Grafton Residence is rather nice. There's two parts, the main tower and then theres a couple of houses surrounding it, I'm really hoping to get placement in one of the houses cause they looked a lot better with separate toilet/bathroom facilities that are much nicer, etc. If I get my bike license I can park it @ the residence. People say the rooms in grafton are small, but I went to havfe a look and they're just rouhgly about the same size of myroom that I have at home, which is fine for me + I already share with my brother so sharing won't be so bad.
Walking around it just reminded me of 7th form camp. How awesome would that be, for a whole year? A WHOLE YEAR CAMP.
But yeah, the only problem now is how will I get the money? If I manage to get a place in a twin share, the whole year will cost $7310. If I am unlucky, $8670 for a single.
*sigh*
maybe I will ask my dad to help for some. I feel bad :( but i dunno
Haha.

So, like, my accomodation contract was in the letterbox. Our letterbox sucks. It fell to the floor and in the wet weather, the contract got wet and eaten by snails. The annoying thing is it's the contract that got eaten, not the other 100 pages that came with it, like the rules and regulations and stuff. Urgh.

My gosh. Our house is SOOO DUSTY.
It's just that nobody realised it before cause we had so much crap.
You should drive by our house. It is rather hilarious. I'm pretty sure we have more stuff outside our house than inside now.
I like new room. Very nice. Way more room. Yeah. Just if you see it, you will understand.
OK.
Headache,.
Bye.
