8:36 PM

Looked at Math paper.

Went '...'.

Did Math paper. Went '/.../'. ...dammit.

At least Biology paper was not as evil as it could have been. Math went over its alloted evil quota.

... ....

Although I was unprepared to write a nine mark essay on transference of extracellular materials, having vaguely skipped over that chapter while studying. And that thing where, it's traditional for me to make completely dumb mistakes whilst doing genetic crosses. And running out of time, but blah.

Sunday

1:21 PM

I then proceeded to find the Evangelion rap song incredibly hilarious. I mean, okay, Eva and rap, pain, but it's never struck me as that funny before.

It must just be one of those days.

Lunch had chilli in it. I can't take chilli, not only do I not like it, it's hard to eat when every bite is followed by half a glass of water. Yeah, I suck, shut up. Now /pepper/, that's okay. Chilli is not.

12:42 AM

You know, flipping through old text files past midnight, that Dark-Emiko thing we were working on seems /incredibly/ hilarious and we should finish it. I expect I might feel differently tomorrow, but oi.

Saturday

11:44 PM

I can hear my mother sleeping the next room over. I cannot sleep. I am reminded why I never, never take coffee in the afternoon. Goddamit, body, it was only one cup. Lemme go to bed. >.>x

In other news, Jo-chan lent me her fiendishly difficult revision paper for Math and I spent three hours on it and only managed to do two out of three pages, and not all the questions at that. I am discouraged. I am also cranky, and want to sleep, but lying randomly in bed with my eyes closed and feeling completely wide-awake was a bit of a waste of time, so I got up.

1:57 PM

GP paper was as GP papers usually are. I looked at the questions, went "/.../", and proceeded to blargh three and a half pages on avarice. The alternatives were shopping and pollution, or art and the ordinary man, to which I went "..." and "...knowing about art makes a person extraordinary?"

KnMnM 19 is out, and god, but is the series /ever depressing/ these past few volumes.

Thursday

6:14 PM

See, body, when a person sleeps late, the /usual/ thing to do when they wake up in the middle of the night is ALLOW THEM TO GO BACK TO SLEEP, not force them to keep awake in bed for a couple of hours until it's TIME TO WAKE UP, when time to wake up is equal to 6.15am or so.

My body is a dumbass. I have a headache.

Tuesday

8:50 PM

"...ribonucleic acid contains ribose while deoxyribonucleic acid contains deoxyribose."

Love and am delighted by Biology, studying for it is killing me. Genetic control and inheritance /this/.

6:11 PM

Holy shit, they're animating DNAngel?

6:06 PM

...The complex formed when a kinetochore attaches to a spindle fibre, which is basically a microtubule, is called a kinetochore microtubule.

You know, I really, /really/ love Biology.

Sunday

8:06 PM

Also, my computer seems to have developed bad sectors. Um. Oh dear?

7:32 PM

I have a life that can be summed up as about a foot-high stack of paper, at least for this year, but I guess so does everybody else. Notes are beginning to eat the dining room table. They're not eating this table, but only because I cleared up my Chemistry and am studying from a textbook now.

I probably also have the most terrible notes ever, due to my habit of randomly falling asleep during lectures, or barring that, drawing eyes to keep me awake. So they're either blank or drawn upon. And colourless, which Jo-chan always comments upon and takes upon herself to remedy when she uses my notes, since I don't believe in highlighters! Or coloured pens. Or... whatever. Pencil has that thing where it's... erasable, so... more smudgy, but less untidy, anyway.

I like them markers, though, the type with one end fine nibbed and the other a real marker. Playing about colouring a picture with them the other day, they're a lot of fun.

Friday

9:44 PM

Sunday, I start Biology or die. There might be an 'and' in that statement somewhere, too.

9:41 PM

So. Chemistry and more Chemistry. Kinetics, organic Chem, and Equilibria to go.

With a short pause to let Sephiroth beat me up in Kingdom Hearts. Sexiest thing I've seen all week, his intro. Gaaaaah.

(Oh, and Meimi? The new layout picture? J'adore. Completely. n.nx)

Thursday

7:11 PM

Also, there is a THING. And that thing is, my Chemical periodicity notes are fecking blank, and I must study from them. I haven't hated being a second intake student since... um, the last time I studied for exams, which was in June. Rar.

It's kind of like playing hangman and Wheel of Fortune with an inanimate object, with the aid of a textbook and an index.

5:50 PM

We got to play with chemicals during lab today. [FeSCN] is a very nice shade of red, kind of like blood, only less so. Red wine, maybe. Remarkably non-staining, unlike iodine which gets on something and will never get out of it again. >.>;x We got to play with stuff involving Le Chatelier's Principle. I like that principle, it's so fun to say, and easy to parse.

Apart from that... cramps this morning (rar) and wanted to go home after lab, but there are only, like, four periods after lab excluding lunch. So I just went blah and decided to stick around for them. ...mistake. But then my Math tutor let us off early, and I taxied home, because /blargh/. Sometimes, this whole 'girl' thing really sucks, without even going into the entire LUMPS OF MAMMARY TISSUE STUCK TO MY CHEST issue.

...yeah.

I think DALnet died again. This displeases me.

Sunday

5:03 PM

Loki 7 and Hanakimi 18 are out in Chinese, my public service announcement for today.

On Loki 7... I completely don't understand the end of the Tense And Meaningful Loki/Heimdall scene. "Loki, I hate you and want badly to cause you pain. Now gimme back my fucking eye." "Wanna hear a story?" I mean, seeing it in two languages, and I still don't understand the end of that scene. Also, Loki has an oral fixation and Heimdall is more creepy than anyone who looks like a kid has the right to be.

Saturday

10:29 AM

Promotional exams are coming. ...so of /course/ I pick up Kingdom Hearts. Much evile to be had by everyone, but Aine said it better.

I had a dream yesterday. It involved gay UST, a little brother (although, not gay ust with a little brother), and, in the end, stabbing a giant square paper chicken with plastic umbrellas as part of a Christmas celebration ritual. No, really.

Tuesday

5:04 PM

Sitting at the parade square before assembly this morning. Randomly lamenting about wanting to go back to bed, because I wanted to go back to bed. And my classmate walks up to us, and she says, we're going to learn Lion Dance today during PE!

"/Lion/ Dance?" quoth we.

"Lion Dance," nods her.

"Are you sure we're learning /Lion/ Dance? I mean, it's not even really a dance."

So she says, "That's what I heard."

"Are you sure you didn't hear /Line/ dancing? That's more a form of dance than /Lion/ dancing..."

And we decided duly that it must be line dancing that we were in for this term.

Later, the teacher took us to the weights room and talked about weights. I'm fairly sure there's a moral to the story, but I can't figure out what.

Saturday

10:08 PM

So I went out, and I got manga, and I got a hat. It's grey and makes me look kind of like a Japanese tourist, but dammit, it's cute and I like it. Aine-chan got the same hat in blue.

Also scored Yorozuya 7, Loki 6 (since the bishan cc was out of stock, and we had to go to yishun for it), and more random yaoi. And Aine and Jo-chan took nigh EVERYTHING, rar. But I got the Lucifer comic (good, good comic. very good), Preacher (also pretty good. violent and disturbing some places, though. and the vampire kicks ass), and promise of fic from Aine-chan. Also two Forgotten Realms novels from Jo-chan, which she says are good, so, uh, right.

Thinking of starting a site/blog/whatever dedicated to obscure but good manga. Anybody want to?

11:13 AM

I'm a lemming. Ficblog!

Friday

8:05 PM

So I was reading Kushiel's Dart. Got through half the book during class. It's okay, I guess, the writing doesn't turn me off or anything, but I'm somewhere in the middle wondering when it's all going to end. Pretty draggy book. Also, I'm fairly indifferent to the main character, I mean, yes, anguisette and all that, but...

I'm wondering what place in the timeframe she's narrating from (although i guess i'd have to finish reading the book to find that out). The characters I mostly liked where in the city, so later in the story, there's nothing much that really interests me. I'll probably finish reading it sometime, maybe borrow the sequel off Jo-chan.

1:43 PM

Meg-san: I had to ask my dad, but, as far as he told me, 'dragon' is 'nong(2)', and tooth is "nga(3)". Peach flower would be "tou(2) fa". His Cantonese is way better than mine, anyway.

I killed Seymour, and am currently wandering /completely/ lost in the cave system thing. Rar.

9:27 AM

I have a new table! And chair! And, like, workspace, only the two clear areas on the table are at opposite ends, and one of them is actually meant for the computer to be, if the keyboard-depressed-space-thingie is any indication. But it's facing the window, so bwagh. Maybe if the place ever gets curtains.

Also, The Bed is gone. I'm sad. Or, well, half of it is gone, and the other half is propped on its side against the wall, and looks kind of scary. And cloth-and-wooden. And scary.

But hey, space.

And also, grabbed a box of some kind of chocolate called Meltykiss while wandering around Takashimaya with my dad. Sweet. Nice texture. /Really/ interesting texture.

Seymour-at-Gagazet (whzhait? Natus?) is KICKING MY ASS AGAIN. rar.

Tuesday

1:38 PM

It's the holidays, I went for Econs makeup class (which was kind of crap, for two 1/2 hours of my time. >.>;;x), then I came home.

There is no food.

Life is boring, and I live vicariously through you all. Or something.

In other news, went a couple more hours into my FFX replay. Or Aine went a couple more hours into it, whichever, I was watching it... go into a couple more hours, anyway. [heart] that game, really I do. Tidus is such a cute kid.

Monday

12:43 PM

That does, indeed, sound very cute, even though as a general rule I'm not a fan of children under the age of... me. Or at least, I don't know, 10? We ran into a /completely/ adorable toddler boy while we were eating at Taka once, though. He walked up to us and looked at us solemnly, and we gave him a fry. Which he took back to his father, equally solemn. His father made him give it back, so he walked back to us solemnly, and we gave him a napkin. Which he... anyway. /Cute/. And of course. We were all never that small, were we?
