Daily Lukey: The Journey to 200 (Part 5)

Finally, the journey continues! After a 'brief' hiatus this series has returned for its epic conclusion. Of course, it is all part of celebrating 200 posts but the past two days were full of so much excitement (namely going out and not getting back to late) that.... no. I can not even finish that. Anyway, we began August with a post about things that frustrate us (I forgot to mention the Blogger Phone App) before complaining about the physical and mental pain that people's actions can cause us (in a sense of stupidity or silliness not actual abuse). I then wrote a post about some of the disgusting things that happen in our world before writing a post titled simple "wet" where I again reiterated my love of rainy days. The next day was spent by looking at Peter Capaldi, who will soon be known as the twelfth doctor in Doctor Who. The next day I wrote about inspiration and how hard it was to find good inspiration before I spent the next day writing a post late at night about how tired I was (I do not talk about myself much but when I do, I complain). The next day I wrote a post about how I get cranky when I am tired (I still have no idea how I made such a long post on that since, back then, the posts were even longer than today). I then wrote about performances and the benefits of performing before discussing the scars the our Parents leave on us by embarrassing us every day. The next day I went to the RMIT Open Day and boy, did I get annoyed. So what was my first reaction? Write a post about it of course!

I then wrote a post about some emotional television and movie moments and how they made us feel (of course Doctor Who was on that list somewhere). I then wrote a post about characters we love to hate because I was just so in love with the character that I hated (in a fan sort of way, not romantic). I actually managed to work The Hunger Games into this so I was pleased. The next day I rejoiced after finally getting Instagram and listening to Lady Gaga's new song, Applause. By the way, I still live for the applause. I then wrote a post on assignments and the importance of due dates and how there are always some people who find some excuse to leave it all to the last minute and yet still manage to get great grades. I then rejoiced for it was Friday before rejoicing again by looking at some new technologies. I began the next week with the Melbourne University version of Annoying Things People do at University Open Days (yeah, People can be very annoying). The next day I wrote about repetitiveness after starting to write a post about something I had already written about. I needed to make it seem like I knew what I was doing so I made up some random stuff about repetitiveness (did you get that?). The next two days I complained about how cold it was before complaining about headphones and how they always seem to get tangled. I then got annoyed at my brother's laziness before starting a series about the various political parties in Australia. The next day was about the Melbourne Writers Festival and my experiences before another installment of the political series was posted. I then wrote about the signs that Spring is coming before surprising you all with a post all about why I was taking a day off from politics. I then discussed Lost and the emotions that can come with this action. For the last post of August I complained about how Stubborn Sandy could be at times.

Thank you for reading all the way down to this, you can stop now. See you tomorrow!

Annoying Things People do at Melbourne University Open Days

So last week you may recall I wrote a very similar post about some of the annoying things people do at University Open Days. That was all from my experiences at the RMIT University Open Days and I thought that there was no way that people could top some of the annoying things people did that day. However, today I went to the Melbourne University Open Day and my view of how annoying people can be changed. I am sad to say that I lost some of my faith in the future generations as well as their parents. For those of you who do not know, Melbourne University is the leading University in Victoria and has just being named Australia's number one University for 2013 so congratulations to them. Basically, it is like Melbourne's version of Oxford and due to its ranking and reputation it had a very busy Open Day with thousands of students (and their parents) trying to find the right course for them. This large volume of people also lead to a few annoying (and sometimes selfish) things that people did.

Before I go on I am just going to reiterate one of the points I made last Sunday about people stopping in the middle of busy pathways. This happened so many times today and it was even more annoying as it was a lot busier than the RMIT Open Day so it caused more blockages. Most of the time it was just teenage girls fan-girling (if you could call it that) over meeting new people. It was just so annoying. Other times it was just people arguing over where they were and where they should go next. Guys, just think about others around you when you do this. The second annoying thing I found today occurred during the Bachelor of Science information session. This session was so packed that they had to stop letting people in and the first time we tried to get in it was too full (and this was us arriving fifteen minutes before it started). So basically you either came very early (like we did the second time) or tried your luck at coming a little bit later. So imagine my annoyance when I saw people not even paying attention to what was going on and instead texting or playing on their phones. It was just so disrespectful and rude to both the lecturer and the voluminous amount of people who could not make it in. Some people would miss out while others got the opportunity but did not do anything or even pay attention. It really set me off the deep end (in my mind, I am not that kind of person [ or am I? {Seriously though, I am not}]). Then there were the parents who did not care about anyone but themselves and so when Dad and I arrived around forty minutes early for the next session (we had to otherwise we would never get in) there were already people waiting so we waited behind them in the corner so we did not block the exits for people coming out when this eventually did occur. However, around 20 minutes before it is about to start a few parents come storming down and push their way towards the front of the crowd. Then they give everyone who is shooting them daggers death stares. Seriously, if looks could kill there would have been a massacre at the Sidney Myer Asia Centre. It was just incredibly rude, selfish and disrespectful of them to expect to get ahead of people who had been waiting upwards of half-an-hour. One lady was actually told to leave because of doing this and believe me, I wish I could have cheered (but that would have woken up Dad who kept falling asleep on me [not literally on me but you get the point]). So that was my annoying University Open Day experience I had to get out of my way. Seriously though guys, the rest of the day was exceptionally wonderful (despite the bad weather) and Melbourne University is a great place to learn.

Do not let the annoying things ruin your day, see you tomorrow!
