my 2010 so far

Holiday is long over. Family catch ups were great and Bali with my best mates was super funnnnn. So here I am, 2 weeks in into my 1st year Architecture degree, being a normal uni student. And still I'm not sure if it is for me. Neither am I sure of what the thing is that I really want to do if not Architecture. Fashion? Let's just say I don't feel like it is something I want to do seriously as a career. Fine Arts? Nope, I think that would give my dad a heart attack.

Being a uni student is fine I guess, but I don't find it as fun as high school. The university that I am attending is what most people name the best in the state. I applied just for fun because I didn't think I would get in as well as because my friends were applying into this university. And so I got in and currently attending the so called great university only to find that most of the people here are either nerds or snobs. Great. And I wonder why I don't feel like I fit in.

Another unpleasant surprise I got was that I have to do an Art History unit as one of the three units for Semester 1 Architecture. I remember in the end of Year 12  thinking I'm so glad I don't have to deal with anymore of this shit. But no, no I have to do it for ARCHITECTURE! And after 3 lectures, I still don't see the connection between Art History and Architecture, neither do I understand what the lecturers are babbling about, Aboriginal painting? Ancient Egypt? What, what Architecture unit? HUH.

And no, that is not it. Just 2 days ago, Friday night to be exact, I had a major car CRASH. I was driving with no legitimate Australian license. Using my sister's car. The car is not insured. And I am currently still under 18 and living alone. Frankly, if the police was involved I surely am dead by now. "Luckily" the driver of the other car was a Malaysian student and she does not have an Australian license either and so we agreed not to report the accident and resolve it ourselves. Complicated much? YES. Who's fault was it? Not mine. Apparently the other girl does not know the street rules over here and so she went on when she wasn't supposed to, to then crashed into my car which was just going on straight at a green light. Say whaaaa?!

So now I just have to find a way to explain to my parents why my sister's car is pretty much in a coma so to say. Plus some nagging so that the girl would pay for the damage done to my sister's car. However at the end, I still feel like I am so lucky to have not a scratch on me and my 2 friends who were in the car as well as the girl from the other car. Thank you God for protecting me even after the much complaining I've done lately. Thank you. And I hope this marks a new beginning for the better rest of 2010 to come! Amiiiiin
