I don't get it
Why Aussies love to party so much
When the songs they play
On the busy DJ table
Are the same every single time
The Macerena, Grease, Summer Rain
and the Pussycat Dolls
Combine that with goon punch and VB
Doesn't really seem that appetizing
Heeelllpp mmeee...
I need better music...good music...

Oh, I went to Dracula's Cabaret a couple of days ago...really fantastic place. Very interesting, and good food too!
-----
Got my results...did pretty okay...
1 High Distinction 2 Distinctions 1 Credit
Kind of weirded out by the credit, but will do my best this semester. Aiming for 3 HDs at least...
Oh, just went through the new units materials...and I declare: "It's SO NOT EASY!"
Communication and Creativity: is very interesting but difficult in the sense that we have to analyze creative forms not just in art, but even in organizational/social/scientific/civilization. Ranges all the way from paintings to architecture. A lot of emphasis on wit, humour and paradox though.
Crime and the Media: Looks to be another Youth Media alike subby to me. But on a more criminologist POV.
Cognitive and Social Psychology: will be something similar to PSY2031, but I hope I can do better on the reports and proposals than compared to 2031.
Psychological Foundations of Law: A forensic psychology unit, very interesting, but so law-ish like. Terms like 'jurisdiction', 'parole' and the likes keep appearing. Not to forget sex offenders. Interesting research topics though for my assignment.
"Does sex offender treatments work?"
"Should there be special legislation to detain sex offenders past the end of their sentences?"
"Should the age of criminal responsibility be changed, and if so, what age should it be set at?"
Lots of group work this semester...argh...need to brush up on communicating skills.
