something's gotto give
Hmmm, my intelligence quota is so going up. How do I know this? My common sense is almost non-existent. A while back my brother booked a flight. He insisted that booking two one way tickets was cheaper than a return flight. He book the return leg before the going there leg. We laughed at him and blamed it on his intelligence. It was the one thing I had up on him. I had the common sense, but oh no, that has been ruthlessly snatched from me. I booked my flights. I booked my flight leaving today. So yeah, 18 December, quite different from the freaking 18th of OCTOBER! So yeah, I had to fork out hard earned cash for a one way because of my utter stupidity and cockiness toward being the superior sibling when it came to common sense. Snow, you can publicly mock me if you wish, but, please, be gentle
Apart from waiting 45min for my bags
/sigh, someday I'll get it right^^

it's all over
So yesterday was productive. By productive, I mean I drank alot, so yeah, for an alcoholic, I was productive. The exam went ok, and so Ula and I destroyed our livers~ the evidence is below >
Drunk? Who us? Never
It got worse as the night progressed, and I ended up being slammed into a wall and had an elbow in my eye. It was fun.

hippo birdies....hippocampus?
Stumbled out of bed this morning to wish my beloved brother a very merry birthday, which usually entails "hippo birdies 2 ewes" because it's cute and I get to draw it on cards, but instead it came out "hippocampus"...meh, I got the brain on the brain >< (if the hippocampus is damaged it can result in amnesia...just fyi)
Exam was pants, but hey, we can't be great at everything, hopefully I'll get a B on that one =( Chemistry should be a good one, I'm kinda excited for it, because I feel well prepared for it. More to follow tomorrow when I'm cursing myself for saying I felt prepared..gotto love Sod's law.

so many things, so little time
Been up to not much lately. I got to visit my mom for a week, who I have been missing sorely. She's always been the closest person to me, and can always read me like a book, and is the only person who can do that, and so I rely on her an awful lot for support as I'm not one for sprouting out my deepest emotions. Yeah, I'm pretty open with the "I'm nervous, I'm bummed, I'm scared of this and that", but that's not what's really on my mind. Needless, as mother's do, she means the world to me, and even though she couldn't quite look after me they way she wanted to this past week because she has been working so hard, the fact that she let me stay at hers and eat all her food was much appreciated.
On the exam front, I feel very unprepared for tomorrow, I have done nothing since the 6/7 hours I did with Ula earlier, and it is now 23:16, and I shall be entering an exam hall in, oooh, 10 hours, which means I should be waking up in 8, but by the time I get to bed, I'll probably only fit in maybe 7 if I'm lucky, but now that I have worked myself into a panic, it may only be more like 6, oh god, I'm going to fail, aren't I? *breathes into paper bag* then there's Friday's exam which will be a thousand times worse *gets second paper bag* and that I have to still memorize a few things for *gives up and places bag over head*. *falls into a paper baggy pile on the floor* The problem is, it's not that I'm scared of failing, far from it, I am quite confidence I will get sufficient marks to pass, it's just I'm a bloody annoying person, who wants A's all the time...B's mean that you don't know up to 40% of the work, and that's pretty bad. I hate how universities lower their standards as to what constitutes a grade, but I'll save that for another rant.
Oh, joined the myspace world, due to popular demand by friends (the whole one), now I get to write mammoth comments that fill half their kitsch pages and make their other friends jealous of my oh-so-not literary skillz. Alas, I have not had enough essay work this semester, I do hope that that improves next year, as I'll start getting defriended soon if I carry on writing the crap I do. I wonder, is there a job out there that just entails writing the most poorly written mindless science drivel, which will bore more than half of the readers, insult the rest, yet still leave them loyal, with maybe a pension, and "can sit in bed all day with mac" policy. *starts to feel sleepy as she dreams of her perfect job*
Oh well, I suppose I shall have to force myself to sleep now, if I was only writing tomorrow, it wouldn't make much difference but I'll probably feel it Friday, or firday as I like to call it these days, as my typing is abysmal. Thank god for spell check
Right, 'nuff said *put paper bag back over head in hopes of reducing oxygen flow enough that she passes out*

the awesomeness that is
finishing my exam in an hour. I hate to be crass, however, the exam was piss. It was far too easy, and not challenging at all. Past papers were far harder, and tester a larger range of subject matter. Oh well, I shouldn't complain, I answered all the questions confidently, and feel I have definately got my A. Going back to the island (to kiss my llama goodbye?) tomorrow to study chemistry and physics which are written in 10 days time, which I am well excited about. I must say, I'm having a bit of a downer this evening ~ all the excitement and anticipation has kinda worn me out a bit, and now with the anticlimax of the exam, I feel just plain meh and knackered. I think I may have an early one, as lugging my bags around tomorrow shan't be fun.
Peace out kids, have a good week, I shall be internetless until my return to the land of haggis and men who don't wear underwear under their skirts.

exams got me down
Hate is a strong word, it's a passionate word. I hate chemistry, but this isn't all bad, it means I want to overcome and defeat it that badly, that I would do anything for an A. If I merely disliked it, I wouldn't have nay motivation to do so. It's the "want" that is lacking in my studies for this Biology exam I'm writing at 2pm today. I've done the work before, and although I would like a good mark, the "want" is not there. The last time I wrote this exam with the OU, I had so much passion and drive to do well in the exam, and I did. I get what I want, because if I really want it, I will work hard to get it.
It worries me that I don't have the passion for this course, I hope it's just because I have already been through the work, and that next semester will bring back my "want" with medical biology and molecules and cells (alas, chemistry will still be there).
Holds thumbs for this afternoon. Holds thumbs that I will start stressing anytime soon, as I am remarkably calm right now.
