I'm in the process of updating my iPod at the moment and the vast majority of my playlists are musical theatre related. I haven't finished updating at the minute so I'm still putting music on it but the fact my music collection mostly consists of musical theatre related stuff my playlist looks sort of scary.

Here's what I have so far that's in some form related to musical theatre:

Annie
Annie Get Your Gun
Barnum
Brigadoon

Footloose
Grease
H.M.S. Pinafore
Into the Woods
Jekyll and Hyde

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Les Miserables
Meet Me in St. Louis
Nunsense
Oklahoma!
Once Upon a Mattress
Rent

In other news I got back the first half of my newsediting assignment that I handed in last week. It was initially due last Monday but I realized that I had screwed it up so I asked if I could hand it in later so I was given until Thursday to hand it in. I rushed through it Wednesday night (which shouldn't surprise anyone) and handed it on Thursday. Since I didn't have Newsediting on Monday because Easter Monday was a public holiday I didn't get the draft back until Tuesday when I ran into my Newsediting teacher after Statistics. When Sandra said that she had my assignment I went "oh" because I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not and she went "don't say it like that" but it turns out I did pretty good on the first draft. The highest mark on the first part was 18 and I ended up getting 15 out of 18 for the initial draft of the assignment, which I wasn't expecting because I was sure that I had still screwed it up. I now have to rewrite the news story and hand it in about a week's time.

So that's about it in terms of academic related stuff. Aside from Statistics (which I hate, but that's a given since I despite maths with a passion) everything else is going well.

Current Music: Torn - Natalie Imbruglia

So I've had my first week of TAFE.

It wasn't too bad starting back even though I didn't want to get out of bed to go to school on Monday since I was used to being on holidays.

One of the main problems to start with was the buses because the bus timetables were changed this year and as a result the connecting bus that I need to get in order to go up to the TAFE/Uni doesn't meet up. The connecting bus leaves five minutes earlier so by the time the bus that I catch to go downtown so I can change buses gets there, the bus I need to be on has already left. In the end I remained on the first bus I was on and it dropped me off about half a block or so from the TAFE, so all I needed to do was walk straight downhill to where it is.

It was funny yesterday though because I caught the bus at 8.18am (I had class at 9.30am but if I caught the later bus I would have been late) and when it came it was full of students who went to Bathurst High School and for a minute I thought I read the name of the bus wrong (it said 523 - Eglinton, which is the bus that I catch) but when I went up to check. The bus driver went to me "The high school?" thinking that I was one of the high school students, I graduated from high school in 2005 (he's not the first one to think that I'm younger than what I actually am) and I go "is this the Eglinton bus?" and after he said that it was I explained that I needed to go to TAFE.

These are the classes that I have this semester:

Newsediting for Communications
Contemporary Australian Society
Statistics

It doesn't seem a lot but I have Contemporary Australian Society and Statistics two times a week instead of once a week. Since I started the course last semester I don't have to do Lals A or Computers (even though I will have to do spreadsheets when it gets up to that since I need to be able to do spreadsheets as part of statistics.) I'm just glad that this semester will be the last time that I have to do a maths subject. Also watching the news at least once a day like I normally do is going to come in handy since two of my subjects will be dealing with Current Affairs.

In other news today I got part of the order that I made through Sanity earlier this week. I used the gift card that I got for my birthday and I ordered Sneaky Sound System's single Goodbye ($3.99) and I also ordered Adam Brand's debut album called Adam Brand (it was $9.99). There was something like $3.75 for postage and I had a $20 gift card so it came to over $17. I got Sneaky Sound System's single today and I received an Order Confirmation that Sanity had shipped Adam Brand's album out so depending on where they shipped the order from I should get it sometime next week, probably Thursday at the latest.
