The List of Random #1

1. Ever wondered what I 'learn' in communications? Here let me show you:

This is a pretty typical example of one of my 'readings'. Yes it's talking about George Orwell (Animal Farm guy). Yes it's also talking about Lolcats (a la the internet memes). And yes - the first sentence does indeed say "The Tits Show....". Welcome to communications bitches.

 

2. I've thought about it and really, the only thing I don't like about my course is the "journalism" part. I actually quite enjoy my core subjects - especially the Language and Discourse one. In this subject I have:

• Witnessed a fifty/sixty year old lecturer playing with Barbie dolls to demonstrate a discourse concept 
• Witnessed the same lecturer read to an auditorium full of 800 university students a picture book about children and teddy bears
• Learnt more about the sexual awakening of children that I ever want to know
• Seen another one of my lecturers transform into a Korean swordfighter midway through his lecture. No really. He tore off his coat and revealed a martial arts costume underneath and then proceeded to battle with another lecturer using a pair of wooden swords.
• Learnt about Freud and penises. Lots of penises. (Wait that might've been from my Ideas in History subject)
• Been told in one of my lectures to sit quietly, close my eyes and imagine being in a jungle surrounded by birds and monkeys.
• As a group, performed an overly dramatic radio script in front of the whole class. Currently working on reproducing one using actual audio equipment.
• Written an essay about Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' Thrift Shop (and gotten a distinction for it LOL).
• Been made to watch Tom Cruise montages as part of my Thursday lectures

3. Eurovision was on Last Sunday. In my opinion, they've really skimped out on the pyrotechnics, sequins and wind machines this year. I was seriously considering turning it off and catching up on True Blood episodes....

But then this came on and it was like my world had filled up with rainbows and unicorns and beautiful things because OH LOOK IT'S AN OPERA-SINGING, ROBE-WEARING,  ROMANIAN VAMPIRE WITH NUDE, LEOTARD-WEARING BACK-UP DANCERS. HE'S EVEN MANAGED TO INCORPORATE A DUBSTEP BEAT TO HIS OPERA. No words guys. No words.
