irony, karma, paradox, call it as you wish.

i got chills,
so i took the pill,
from the nurse called Jill,
which came along with it a whole load of bills,
I wanted to run to the hills,
but my friend gave me chicken with dill,
with the sole will,
to have my stomach filled,
but I might as well have gills,
as I cant sit still,
I want to go for the kill.

When you get lost in a foreign suburb,
called Malvern,
for close to two hours,
your mind tends to wander,
and the above was what I managed to come up with,
to suppress my frustrations,
as I take another clueless step.

So the past couple of days,
have been,
very intense, but undoubtedly very very interesting.

The Monday arvo.
I was set out to do sth diff at Inclusion Melb.
Instead of taking David out to the art studio or coffee etc,
I have been asked to look out at the art studio.
Due to shortage of volunteers,
they hv come up w a system whereby,
the clients get there, either by themselves, or otha volunteers drop them off n then LEAVE!

So,
there I was,
after walkin around for 2 hrs tryin to look for the studio
(as a result of me being lazy, n wanted to take a shortcut instead)
one by one they started to arrive,
Ian, George, Anna, David.

They re a lovely, funny bunch.
Ian , who was extremely animated,
with his endless questions n compliments,
and claiming that fruits make u sick,
but hot choc with a hint of coffee n tea is the cure for absolutely anything.
George, who was very quiet n obedient,
who sat by the corner,
painting the sky green.
Anna, was such a doll,
was always fun to have her around.
and David, with his endless proposals.

So u can only imagine,
what it was like out there,
It was fun, most definitely.
I couldnt stop laughing,
We painted n sculpted n drew,
but it was very very tiring!!!

exhausted, but all worthwhile.

Then, there was today.
Freck!!
I officially claim myself to be stupid!

So I had a couple of interviews with a couple of professors from WEHI.
and me, cleverly, scheduled for both the interviews to be on the same day,
and to meet at the same place,
with only an hour intervals between the two.

Only later did I realise,
there's a reallllllyyyyy high chance of me bumping into Baell again while I waited for Wicks.
Damn!!
n Clara, threatening to call Baell, buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anw,
what happened was,
first interview w Baell, whose lab is in Bundoora, but decided to come down to the city cos of the seminar.
Since he dint hv an office nearby, we jst went for a walk while we talked.
a very funny, friendly man.
claims that he can read n walk at the same time,
to prove to girls dat guys can multitask!
owh well.... do i need to say more?!
that interview went really well,
except for the fact that the lab is onli like one hour away!
So Baell has always been my insurance one.

Then later on,
after hiding behind pillars and trucks,
from receptionists who prob recognised me from before,
Met Wicks,
and we had a really long chat,
well, he did the chat, i jst nodded along.
He took me to the lab to meet Ann, who was prob gonna b my supervisor.
Very friendly people,
who sounded jst as keen to hv me, as I was to be working there.

All went well,
as we shook hands at the end of it,
I asked, where do we go frm herE?
and he said,"Apply to UROP."
Freck!!! Then y d hell was I here? and giving me the hope n crap!

I felt so cheated!
I gues this is what happens when you cheat on others,
U'll be cheated back,
only in a diff way.

Life works in mysterious ways.
but do bad,
n ure sure to be given a taste of ur medicine.

I certainly know that now.
