I can't believe that exams are so close already! Mine are on the 14th and 16th of June, meaning I'll be home from mid-June til earliyish July, I think the 7th or 8th.
I haven't really started studying yet. At the moment i'm concentrating on writing my last internal essay and reading the plays that I need to catch up on. I'm not freaking out yet, just slightly worried, but we'll give it some time and see how that goes.

In other news, I'm not longer going to bed at 5am and waking at 2pm. Instead I'm going to bed at 6pm and waking at 4am, or have been since Sunday. It's irritating, but better. It means I've been to all my lectures and tutorials for this week. I've also been to breakfast! I was missing toast :D

Erm, what else?
Mum and Tori are visting on Sunday. We're going out to lunch. Real food! :D
That's it really.
Yaay good blog posts.

Movie Nights

Though I didn't drink or go anywhere this weekend, I had a fun time last night and on Friday night. On Friday night Megan, Cody, Katie, Anthony, Michael and I watched movies in 8th floor common room (Dorian Gray, Planet Terror & Turistas). At first it was me, Katie and Megan and then Cody arrived and Katie left and then Michael and Anthony wandered in. That's why I like movie nights. People just show up and watch with you and you don't really know who it's going to be.

Last night Emily had a party in her room and I was sitting at my laptop bored out of my mind, so at 10pm I decided to take out my rubbish. On the way there I met Megan, who was doing washing, and she asked me if I wanted to watch a movie on 8. I went down there but instead of watching anything we sat on the couches with our laptops and talked about lots of things. I realised that Megan is as awkward as me when it comes to a lot of stuff, and we get along really well.

Michael came in later, about 12am, and made some Mi Goreng. We decided to go to 5th floor and play Left 4 Dead 2, and we were there for 3 hours or so. Cody joined us at some point too.

Written down like this it doesn't sound as fun as it was. It was just nice to interact with humans again. I've been locking myself in my room too much lately stressing about problems with my courses and assignments and I didn't really talk to anyone last week.

Anyway, probably about time I changed into proper clothes. Still in my pyjamas at almost 3pm... :P

Bad Day

I have a tummy ache because I haven't eaten all day, a head ache because I'm tired and haven't been outside at all and a big sense of guilt for not doing any work. I'm supposed to have finished my history essay by now but once I'd been reassured that it's pretty much ok to turn it in late, I promptly "forgot" about it and now I still have half of it to do and probably just one day in which to do it. Thank God I don't have any 12 am classes tomorrow. And I'm getting my government money.
I really want to sleep :( But I don't know if I'm tired enough yet.
Bleugh.

Bullet Point List of Things You Care About

  • Yesterday ran out of money. Awesome.
  • Today found 10 dollars in pants. Actually awesome.
  • Last night watched Jurassic Park 1 & 2 and Signs, then went into common room and watched Fight Club with Katie (my floor (which is 9), Megan (floor 8) and Cody (floor 4). It's actually a pretty funny movie.
  • Anyway, by the time that was finished it was quarter past 4 am, but none of us went to bed. Cody looked up some videos on YouTube and we talked a bit
  • ... and then Cody mentioned that he'd bought some hentai the other day.
  • ... and Megan said she'd never seen it before.
  • So Cody went to floor 4 to get his hentai (which is anime porn, by the way) and we watched some of that.
  • Let me tell you, watching porn with other people is weird. Katie left before we started so it was me, Megan and Cody.
  • By the time we switched it off it was past 5am.
  • I went back to my room and read some posts on hyperboleandahalf.com
  • And then at 7am I went to sleep.
  • I think that porn got into my head a little because I had some very, er... interesting dreams.
  • And I woke up at almost 3pm today, having had around 7 hours sleep.
  • I was supposed to go to the city library with Megan today after brunch but I can't find her anywhere and she's not answering my texts, so it's possible she's gone without me.
  • Never mind.
  • I can go to the supermarket or something and get some food, then come back here and watch a movie or two. Good plan.

Oooh that was close. Just today I got an e-mail from this guy saying that they'd just realised that I didn't take the pre-requisite course for the French paper I'm doing next trimester. It's a good thing I did four years of French in high school, otherwise they wouldn't have let me in!

In other news, I've finished writing my Greek Literatiure essay (on Antigone) and now only need to write 2000 words for my as yet one paragraph long History essay (on Communists). Help?

Thank god I have no lectures tomorrow!

<3

Second Day Back

Back at school. I only had one lecture yesterday and only one today, because for some reason Greek History lectures don't start until next week, which is annoying. I went up to uni at 11 yesterday only to find out that I didn't need to be there until 2. I only have one tomorrow too, and none on Thursday. This is good. I have two major essays due this week. A history one worth 35% of that class and a Greek Lit one worth 30%, so it's a pretty big deal.

Other than that I've just been watching movies and stuff.
And quite a lot of stuff has been happening lately, eh?

I mean, first there was the earthquake.
Then Osama.
And now a tornado. Right where I used to live.

I've had a while to think about this whole Osama deal. I haven't been able to blog on my usual blog lately due to some computer issue, so instead of rushing right into it I've been sitting back and forming an opinion.

I think it's disgusting that people are celebrating his death. Of course, he did terrible, horrible things, but he was still a human being. And to celebrate the death, no, the murder, of a human being is completely wrong.

I think we need not to celebrate, but to remember. Because of Osama, all those people died in 9/11. Instead of cheering and shouting and praising the soldiers that did it, we can think about this whole ten year struggle has done to America and the rest of the world. Osama's death wont necessarily end anything. There are still followers out there. Obama may have said that they aren't at war with Islam and never will be, but who's to say that they wont retaliate? I heard that they had prepared a strike in case Osama were killed. I know it's not right to think so pessimistically about this, but the world has to be realistic.

We can't give up hope, either. With their leader gone, the war on terror might stop. All that money channelled into the war could be put to better use. People wont be needlessly dying. Terrorism, at least in America and the Middle East, could stop.

There's really no one way to look at it.

So there are my thoughts.
