A few topics today.
1. The name of my blog. Nice one! So catchy. High five to yours truly. I really was on fire back in 2004.
2. Kuba. Left me with two unpaid parking tickets. Went right off at him, then realised I was hungover and overreacted, but he's sorry and swears he's going to send me the money.
3. My new job. Have basically told everyone about it anyway. That was the interview in which she said she wanted to send the new person to Korea and the UK for a conference and a sales meeting. After the interview I believed that once she saw my eyes physically popping out of my head and me generally turning into a nervous wreck, she would have written me off. But alas. I keep analysing what could have helped me get that job, and I think it must be that Thankyou email I sent her after the interview to remind her I thought it was a wonderful opportunity. OR it was that noone else better wanted to do it OR I am simply the master of the universe. Who knows?
4. Uni. Starts on Tuesday. Get ready to embrace commuting. I went on a practise run yesterday afternoon to the city for something else, and found that taking a newspaper helps. This semester I am doing Customer Analysis/consumer behaviour etc, and Business Chinese as an elective. Yay! This time I'm going to study in simplified characters and I'm shit scared.
5. That something else. Chinese Language Meet-up organised by a very nice woman who spent 9 years in Beijing and speaks wonderful Mandarin. If only. It was at the Chinese gardens in Darling Harbour. It was actually my first time there and it's actually bigger than I thought. ¶ 14:24
