Was discussing this with S. We noticed that most publicity photos of Dan Brown e.g. the one on the back cover of his books feature him looking like the exact description of Robert Langdon.
So we thought, obviously this guy is writing about himself. “… described as looking like “Harrison Ford in Harris tweed”, with his standard attire being a turtleneck, Harris Tweed jacket, khakis, and collegiate cordovan loafers …”
And look!

Too bad it was dated August 13.
There was an email from the vice-chancellor from earlier today about questionable behvaiour of some students from our uni, something about sexual assault being unacceptable and binge drinking being no excuse, so I assumed that some girl was groped against her will at some on-campus drinkfest but apparently not so. I just came across the SMH article.
The male students, mostly from the elite, all-male St Paul’s College, initially ensured the ”Define Statutory” group had an open, public profile, and proudly displayed their membership on their personal Facebook pages.
Both the commander of the NSW Police sex crimes unit and the head of the NSW Rape Crisis Centre condemned the site, describing it as ”grooming perpetrators of sexual violence”.
The Facebook page, which has since shut but ran from August until late last month, is part of a broader culture at the residential colleges that demeans women in a sexist and often sexually violent way, experts say.
The Herald has spoken to several women, also past and present residential college students, who have experienced sexual assault and attempted assaults on campus. They say the privileged atmosphere of colleges, combined with a culture of binge drinking and few restraints on behaviour, mean most rapes go unreported.
It is, in fact, a shoe!
After the jump, see how glorified snakey clogtilettos look when they’re on.

After some length of bludging …
S: Ok, Annie Dou
You know I love you
But the time has come,
For me to do as I must do.
Me: It’s time to study pharmacotherapy
Even though I’m full of lethargy
So I’ll ttyl
You’ll study as well
And then we’ll take the exam with apathy
o_o
Klammer mich an alte Zeiten. I’m getting nostalgic listening to German songs from our Germany-Austria trip. The management exam was doable, but 2.5 hours turned out to be very limited for 130 MCQs and two short-answer questions, especially considering a lot of the MCQs towards the end were calculations. I’m so glad I stayed up skimming through the chapters of the textbook that I hadn’t looked at previously. If I didn’t, I would have been totally pwned. Even so, because I didn’t read through them carefully, I had to spend a lot of time during the exam learning. Thank God for B’s glossary. Because it was open-book I was tempted to check every answer to make sure they’re correct, and this I did until I was up to the 80th question and realised there was only one hour left. I rushed through the rest of the MCQs, which was difficult considering that those were from sections of the text I was least familiar with. Fortunately there weren’t any questions I couldn’t answer or at least narrow down to two choices, except for one calculation question I thought I’d go back to but didn’t. Short-answer questions would have been easy if not for the fact that most people had less than 30 minutes left to complete them. I managed to squish in a rushed summary before time was up but it probably looked out of place but who cares. C and I went to Burwood this afternoon for some errands and while he was booking his driving test I went to CBA to apply for an overdraft for the next month when I have no income. The customer service specialist decided that it was a bad idea and applied for a credit card for me instead. I thought that was an even worse idea.
Die Schatten an der Wand,
mit dem Licht verblassen sie.
Könn der Wahrheit nicht entfliehen
Management this morning.
I was stressed about not having read through the giant textbook last night so I decided to stay up all night doing so. I made it to 3:00 am not because I was tired but because I was hit my major CBF. I don’t care anymore. I have a grad job. I’ll be happy with 51.
Epic nap afterwards :D then study for Wednesday D:
