iKate

Just today I was asking Kate ( my food chem lecturer/tutorial teacher) regarding the ridiculous point on referencing my food chem essay. She doesn't allow wikipedia, o.k that i understand, but incredibly that also extends out to both internet sources and books. Personally i think its stupid, no internet source? Come on...

I showed her a book i borrowed regarding the topic i'm writing about (eggs) and she went " yeah u can't use it as reference but u also can"

wtf?

So one thing lead to another after asking how to use this stupid search called "super search" which gives you e-articles/journals (from the internet) O_O??? . She asked me to go over to her room etc, so that was cool. Nicholas was following me too since he probably was trying to figure out wad was going on for referencing while Tanny (the Thai kid that follows me around) decided that he had something else to do so he ran along the path out skipping and clapping his hands while all of us 3 (Kate, nic and me) looked at him in bewilderment.

On the way to the office, i was still asking her various questions regarding the paper as she said if i were to take things from the book, i would have to find the references that the people who wrote the book had got it from etc. So i just asked her regarding "finding the article that was used as reference part" as if i used an article and lets say it contained 3 reference that means i'll have to find the other 3 which may too have more references. She went "pretty much yup" (that was later changed when i reached her room) and continued saying "well maybe you have chosen the wrong course to take then" and proceeded in giggling. Now before that everything was cool, tanny skipping his way out of class, nic following us at the back humming a song, i asking important and essential questions...

Now hey, I'm an international student. That means compared to the many Australian citizens or PRs here, i pay a heck of alot more. which if i were to calculate, is about $100 per lecture, its not nice to have a lecturer who is late for lectures for more than 45 mins without giving a reason why she was late to say stuff like that. Well thats besides the point anyways, so she said that while putting her hands in her pocket and walking off (similar to a tom-boy's way) which is similar to the 1970s-1980s which is really cool for a second but since this is the 2008 i don really think its cute to act 1970s.

Upon climbing up to her room, she curtly told nic to run along and come back later as she only likes 1 to 1 "interviews" which i believe she should have done right in the beginning.

Well, i do admit that session was successful. I did learn how to use supersearch to a better extent and learn that woodbridge hospital has let someone go prematurely. Shes a nice girl actually, just i guess trying too hard and trying to be funny when its not funny.

iHypocrisy

It has been noticed by me how the world revolves this word "Hypocrisy" now. Lies goes through our mouth as if it is the truth, we speak half truths like as if its the truth.

Is it really true that all of us are guilty? In nature fishes and birds go together in a group/flock etc which results in safety in numbers. Generally they do not have an idea where they are going. We as humans do the same thing. I've been trying to live a life without hypocrisy and its not easy. One cannot compromise on this and that.

A very good example is something all of us should have heard or perhaps did. Maybe for example, you really like this particular food, so when your out with friends, you recommend it. Ever noticed how it goes something like "hey this stall erm not bad". What you are really trying to say is "Its really great". This results in giving yourself a way out if someone says "nah its not that good, i don like it" cause all you have to say is " yeah guess so, well i said its not bad".

Cant people just stand up for the truth sometimes? In this world where a person's face is everything, he/she does not want to stand out as a person of bad taste/weirdo but if u really like just say it.

Defined:

1.	a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.

2.	a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude.

3.	an act or instance of hypocrisy

If one has to guts to follow and do things they don like, why not just do things they like? For all you know you may find people who like it as well. A leader is not one who follows the crowd but one who leads and guides it.

well thats life to you
Go figure.
