huge-ass

after running from copy centre to merewether to home and back to merewether i’ve learnt a few things.

1. don’t run in the rain, you will fall.
2. don’t wear hoddies when crossing the road, you will not be able to see the cars coming at you.
3. never print assignments on the last day of the semester at the copy centre, there will be other people who will have their huge-ass assignments to print too.
4. always print a cover sheet.
5. always leave a huge-ass stapler next to your printer. there will come a time when you need to staple your freshly printed huge-ass document, your tiny stapler will die/cry.

i don’t think i should bore you with all the explicit details of gilly and her huge-assignments. but i shall blog about the last bit, because the guy deserves mention.

after my insane dash from uni to home and back to uni, i realised i didn’t print a cover sheet. (i didn’t staple it either, but i did that purposely) so anyway, while i was madly scribbling my tutor’s details down on the back of a random piece of paper along with my apologies for not having a cover sheet, i started conversing with the guy behind me about me not having a cover sheet. (i’m not entirely sure how this happened, but i doubt that’s important) he said to go downstairs to print one off, but i said i couldn’t because i wasn’t sure when the guy was going to come to clear the assignment boxes. (they said 430, and it was already 430 or thereabouts) so instead, the guy went to print one off for me. which was very nice of him! thats a whole 10cents worth of printing! when he came back, i realised my cover sheet wasn’t stapled to my assignment. luckily he was toting around a huge-ass stapler too! (i tried to staple it at home, but my stapler was too tiny)

he was god-sent. how many people do you know will run downstairs to print something off using their own money for a person they don’t even know?
damnit i just realised i forgot to pay him back!!

i hope i meet more people like that.

i think he was very tickled to find the stereotypical mad first year commerce student. forgetting this and that; handing in assignments right on the dot of the due time; running around like mad-headless chickens; and getting a wee bit stressed over the slightest of things, yup thats me! (not to mention getting lost on campus !)

“haha first year’s!”
