So, I just had a test and missed the train I wanted to
catch. Unfortunately the test didn't go so well. I mean it wasn't a complete
disaster I just know of some definite mistakes and wish I had done better. Plus
I have a cold so Yay. Now the purpose of this is not as a diary but I have more
time than I first anticipated before I get home and didn't want to waste it
doing nothing. It’s funny, ironic, sad:
I will happily waste all the time in the world when I have important
stuff I have to do but now when it would be perfectly acceptable for me to just
relax for a moment I desperately want to do something useful, but I bet if I
actually had a relevant textbook in my bag the desire to act in a useful manner
would be gone. I suppose what I really want is to distract myself from thinking
about the test and everything I could have got wrong.
Anyway my next post
was long overdue and I wouldn't want to keep my repeat readers waiting too
long. (Please note the sarcasm; in fact maybe I should use a different font for
sarcasm; but I would probably get lazy and use it inconsistently and the action
would be meaningless, so for now let’s just leave it with me almost always
pointing out the sarcasm in a way that any wit or humour it ever contained is
lost, like when you have a joke explained to you. Maybe you think I’m insulting
your intelligence when really I am just mocking my own blog by seeming full of
myself.)
Back to the present, just a tip: if you are trying to catch a train from Britomart to Papakura or Pukekohe they no longer say “Papakura or Pukekohe via New Market or Silvia Park” they now say “Otahuhu via New Market or Silvia Park” I don’t know how long it has been like that but I just realised tonight. (To anyone who stumbles across this blog and does not live in New Zealand I apologise for that useless piece of information.)
What I intended to do at one point was write a post about the trials of group assignments but any decent human being would pull their weight in a group assignment so they would also understand the pain of being in a group with a less than decent human. And if you are one of the less than decent human beings: I HATE YOU. Please for the love of all things good in the world find a brain and get your life together.

OK so forget what I said about the train, until further
notice after a certain time in the evening they just kick you off at Otahuhu
and you have to get on a bus the rest of the way. Oh the joy of public
transport.
So, that was as far as I got last night with my post, I was
experimenting with the writing in real time idea as opposed to just sitting in
front of the computer and thinking “OK brain, go! Hello? Brain? You got
anything?” Unfortunately life got in the way, I found someone I knew on the bus
and it seemed odd to ignore them and continue with my super-secret blog post.
So now I suppose we will never get to know just what else I would have said about
group work as the moment has passed. I was also going to write about friendship
and why some people I know are good ones. Which I know is more sentimental than
my usual cynicism but I just had a weekend surrounded by some pretty great
people. Anyway it will have to be another time as I have another test to study
for and textbook chapters I should have read but haven’t.
Now to think of a name for this post…
