I feel like a pig. i woke up pretty late, well late enough, and then at around 2 i went back to sleep. slept through lunch, so i ate my lunch and dinner at like 5.

Slackk and watched tv, rewatched da chang jin, and watched BB. i never used to like it. lol. played my stupid rpg game. anyway, then worked on this (maths) question for a while. its weird to work on stuff at leisure. i mean, it feels weird. like there's no pressure. and that's not exactly good? Furthermore, its not that I have no confidence in solving it. But it's not within my comfort zone really.

looking forward to tmr I haven't been for aikido really since grading. that's like nearly 3 weeks. that sucks. i feel out of place.

WOahh exams oveR!!!

I am seriously So SO so So ultra happy I'm totally free. I need to catch up on sleep and do laundry and eat properly and erm quit pigging out on chocs so that sore throat will heal. And a whole load of stuff to do. But mostly I'm just glad I've got no limits, no datelines and what not crap my brain is oversaturatd with information and facts about the earth. (warning: will repeat them at any keyword).

Oh yeah, scientific programming was not too bad. i messed up one question, but i couldn't help it, i didn't copy the entire thing into the formula sheet so that's my loss. But basically i had quite a bit of fun. aww I do love Owen Jones setting the paper, that's when you get a totally awesome paper. i won't say it was all easy, but i wrote what I thought was best, if its wrong, then, I probably can't do any better. (I think I'll take that back lol)

Anyway, no I'm just so freaking happy.

after the paper, we went eat lunch (dim sum!! )and then shopping and then went out with a whole bunch for dinner. most of the 10 people, were just "aquaintances", 1 or 2 i hardly know. which was one of the reasons why I tried pulling esther along haha.

and it was freaking cold today and still is now. its about 5 degrees outside. and i just came back from yi ping's place. so i think my nose froze. basically i spent most of my day wearing a sleeveless and a singapore jacket. How cool is that? pun here.

me and yiping are officially slackers. yesterday she came over and we watched howl's moving castle. then today, shen2 hua4. but at least, we still know our stuff.

It's very irritating when people just don't bother to study, then they ask you these stupid questions. It's not that I find it irritating to answer. I just cannot stand their attitude. Call it me being over critical or whatever. I so want to tell you the answer, but its not much of a help if you don't really bother studying. actually im just irritated because i cannot help. It's just very me to want other people to like what i like and understand what i understand.

anyway my toes are dying. they are soo uber itchyyy damn

Yiping just came over and we did lots of scientific. I feel less panicky now. We talked lots of crap. I suppose the main thing we have in common is our love of maths and a lot of other things.

Anyway ,pia for 3 more days!!! 72 hours!! and I'll be fine. scientific, (i'm ultra glad) is the kind that is less on studying, more on thinking. And as long as i have time, i'm quite sure I can think. So *deep breath* tell myself don't panic.

i miss my aikido !! arghh. wait wait wait for friday!! and I realise something. you know how when we do back roll, we put one leg behind and sort of sit and roll. I've been doing that all over chairs at home. I'll be like, start putting my leg behind on the chair and sit. And if I don't do that, i feel so unbalanced. not exactly nice, because after sitting for a long while, leg starts to get numb and arghh .

i can't wait to get back.

Oh I watched X-men 3 !!

It's entertaining and fun, typical hollywood. Not a movie I would actually buy. But it is pretty good. They sort of try to make it funny with those one-liner remarks that are meant to be funny/sarcastic etc.. i dunno how to describe, but i found it a bit too often, its not that funny anymore.

Oh and I heard it deviates a lot from the comic, but I'm no comic fan, so it sounds perfectly alright to me. Oh and I don't really like how they portrayed Magneto.

Then walked home. From crowne.

I was thinking of a lot of things last night, on the way home. Actually a whole variety of them. Ranging from plate tectonics to..well other things. And I also decided not to go for aikido till after exams. (!!!)

Did i say last week i looked forward to aikido so much, then then!!! we didn have the place we had, which means no mats, which means no throwing around/ no rolling/ only locking, pinning/ anyway, so i was quite disappointed, i looked forward to iriminage because I was looking for something wrong in my technique.

I'm quite tired. like not physically tired, but my brain is oversaturated with information and ... stupid things. And, I'm seriously tired.

On a more practical note, i've got like 10 lectures I haven't studied and 2 that's halfway. That's about a third of my course. Thankfully, half of these are either a) unimportant, b) easy, c) introductory. Also, i decided to be a bit more strategic:

There's 5 small essays to choose from 8, half from Andrew's lectures, half from Mike's. I've studied most of Andrew, but not much of Mike's. I'm banking on the hope that one of Mike's one will be on either Earth's interior or Solar system. And I'm also hoping on no question on relative dating. i'm hoping for a bit much lah, but there's a fair chance of these really.

That leaves the MCQ which is damn hard lah. i think 1 question is 5 marks. crazy lah. definitely can handle Todd's questions and Andrew's. Which leaves Mike. arghh.

Sighhh its cold.

Maths paper was hmmm.. quite alright. But truth is, I wasn't very prepared for it. I totally just stared at the proof of irrational number question, ok exaggeration -- i worked it through halfway, knowing full well I haven't a single clue how to finish it. In the end i did something, but i haven't the time to think it through or check for loopholes. There is one other question i messed up. and another I truly didn't know how to manipulate. But I'm glad that while i didn't remember the formula for geometric sequence, i remembered how to derive it.

Something my lecturer once said when someone asked if there was a way to remember formulas: "I don't remember them, whenever I need them, I derive them again"

new ambition: I wanna be like him !!

anyway, been studying all today. And I've just got through like 4 audio lectures. Since 7 this morning. How nice. I mean't to finish 8.

The sky's so pretty now. swirling orangy-red clouds. But no, I don't like melbourne weather. I'm freezing to death.

Oh I change my mind about the worst injury. Probably my back, not my foot. ankle is fine, i can walk properly but im thinking it'll take a while to be really fine. sprained toes are a nuisance, nothing more.

I'm was looking at the stats of my blog. and seriously, ive no idea why there are so many views. i keep my blog quite private i think. and i want to keep it this way. so i actually don't tell people anymore. more like i lie and say no i don't have a blog. this blog exists more for me, to put thoughts to words. i didn't think its very interesting, since its all centered on me me me me me.
