I only managed to get five and a half hours of sleep. This makes me so sad. (How what I supposed to know outlines were supposed to be that detailed, huh??) Yeah, and the one day I hoped not to have a QM lab, guess what~ =__=

So the Geo test yesterday wasn't as scary as I thought it would be, but it was still destabilising. Therefore, mean as it sounds, Val and I both hope our classes fail so abominably that the teacher gives us a take home exam. Might seem pointless but another friend had the same teacher the previous semester, and many students still managed to fail.

And, uh, PoliSci teacher scared the crap out of us when he informed us that our second test will have absolutely no multiple choice. It's mainly 'law' cases that we have to 'solve' with 2-page explanations. For one question. Erm... >.>

Just 'cause it needs to be said, mad brain-storming is such an awesome process! In Mythology, we have to write a hero story using the monomyth structure, archetypes, and Great Goddess symbol. Before reviewing for the test, she gave us ten minutes to gather with friends and think of a general premise. Within that time, I produced two pages of point form notes. It was so fun! Ehe, and the teacher made the mistake of putting no word limit on the assignment. *GRIN* The only kicker is that we have to present our story, and if I write a full length manuscript (and given my prolific nature, this is highly likely) I have absolutely no clue how I'll manage an oral. Uber condensing?

Okay, and I know this is rant-ish. Hence the cut.

( Tala childishly ranting... >.> )

Yeah, it was really cool that at 7:00pm it would still be light out... This thought persisted until today when I walked out the house at 6:15 in the morning and it was pitch black out again. *sigh* I knew there was a trade-off somewhere.

School... stunned me today. I landed the highest marks on both my Western Civ and PoliSci tests. O__O By high I mean 101% and 95%. I was speechless, but holy crap, I'm so happy!

*stares at computer* And I seriously need to stop being distracted by the shiny internetz. Stupid English rough draft. *grumbles* Okay Tala, we need to get this absurd assignment done so you can return to your book and your plot bunnies! Now, onwards!

I went on another book splurge with my major bibliophile of a friend yesterday. At the rate I'm going, I'm gonna need to set my 2009 bookcount at 100, not 50. Oh the glorious reading. :'D

We had plans to go out again tomorrow with another gal of the group, but because she stayed out late last night, hubby got grounded. I'm kinda sad because it would have been much fun, but I'm also in part relieved. We were planning to go for sushi. Downtown. That entails inevitable shopping and my wallet already took enough of a hit yesterday. *wince* That, and it wouldn't hurt to get some of that homework done.

I aced the Macro exam! Booyah! Operation Do Incredibly Well in School has promise thus far. Though I'm not entirely sure about that PoliSci test yesterday... *skittish* Egads, what was I thinking -not studying?? Whatever, just gotta be better and more awesome, right? However! I did study for QM so I didn't have much difficulty with today's test. :)

Can't wait for tomorrow. I'm going out for dinner with a big group of friends (to celebrate our mini spring break, kinda) and after we shall terrorise the streets of Montreal together! Muahaha!

Uh, no, not really. More like nerd out in the local Chapters. >.>

I've been one a writing buzz these past few days. I've produced a notable amount of short stories and poems -haven't done that in a while. Some of it's semi-autobiographical. Of course, I can't submit any of it because it's personal stuff I don't want my parents seeing. In 'novel' regards, I've churned out several pages of Timeless and written more notes for my Godbless series. It frustrates me to no end: all my ideas are currently for the second book, I haven't a clue what precisely book one is about (barring a lot of blood and people dying). Even more vexing, I had a major plot-hole in book two. I solved it. And now I have trilogy instead of a duet.

*headdesk*

I'm also trying to make my bunnies understand that Nanowrimo occurs in November. We are March. And yet three plots I have. One of the bunnies must be on crack, or I'm on crack; the romantic elements it wants to put my gothic horror... are making sense. Yes, I have done a bit of ficcing but... *whine* I want a new laptop!

Did I mention that I'm so happy I'm on break? 8D

This is why I love this. You can bitch, rant, rail, scream, but eventually the ordeal is over. Good riddance, tests. Although I've still got QM to go, and I'm getting slammed with Geo and Mythology soon.

Admittedly, it's my own ruddy fault for not studying as much as I should have. I bought five new books on Friday, telling myself I could be a responsible girl and only read them after I finished my homework. Go self-restraint. Woohoo. [/sarcasm]

So, a little bit of a mishap yesterday after rock climbing. I have a friend in arts, and she has a photography project where she needed someone who commutes a great distance to get to school. While I don't think I hold the record, I think I come pretty darn close. That aside, we tried to ser up a date last week but our schedules didn't match up. It was then decided that she'd come over Sunday night, I'd meet her at the metro, and we'd toodle home.

Not quite so simple. Her bus was late half an hour -I had no way of knowing- and I waited twenty-five or so minutes before leaving. (I felt tremendously bad 'cause she needed images for Tuesday, but at the same time it was late and I had school the next day. Early.) I swear, we missed one another by a few minutes. Thankfully we managed to get it sorted out but this isn't the first time something like this has happened. All this to say, my mom's finally gonna get me a cellphone in the near future.

Yes.

Why yes, I happen to live under a rock, in case you were curious. xD

The Macro test was a joke. A very big, funny joke coincedentally.

My friend had the same prof last semester, same course, and she lent me her first test. Compared to the one I did today, there were only... two or three questions different from a total of thirty-five. While the values for the problem solving questions were different, what was being asked however was essentially the same.

4tw? I'd have to very much agree.

The material wasn't difficult to begin with, I just thought the overwhelming similarities in the tests were amusing. I am definitely asking for all other tests for future studying.

Sushi tomorrow! And book shopping~! ♥

(Though I really could do without the distractions seeing as I need to study for PoliSci, Western Civ, and QM tests next week. >.> Oh and btw, I made some really stupid mistakes on the QM quiz. It was still a high mark, but it's a blow to one's English-queen pride when you stumble over the vocabulary -that you already know. *headdesk*)

Family, school. School, family. I'm always popping out of existence, sorry guys!

Unlike summer vacations, weekend visits at my aunt aren't quite as much of a fanfare. Friday was the best. We did some secret shopping. We didn't tell Mom 'cause she banned us both from getting me stuff, but in our defence, I only got a pair of earrings. Shiny earrings. Then we went out for dinner with some of my aunt's family friends and that was an all-around good time. Lucy's great even when she tries to set me up with her son >.>. Later we stayed at her house for a bit and I watched Mamma Mia with her daughter. Um, I now clearly remember why I don't watch musicals. *buries face in hands*

Other than that, I did ALL my homework Saturday. omg, I know. Though my butt still kind of hurts from sitting on hard floor for eight plus hours straight. Owwie. Sunday I had rock climbing again (two down, one to go!) and it was... interesting. We had our knots and safety evaluation. Um, I passed. My partner got put on probation. During the test, the person who's climbing has to fake fall to test the reflexes of the belayer. My partner panicked and let go. Because of such eventualities, there's thankfully a staff person holding the rope as back-up. I can't say I freaked out when I dropped 2 -3 metres, more like 'wait, I'm not supposed to fall this much...'.

This led to repetitive practicing for my partner, where I kept climbing and pretending to fall. The supervisor was a bit crazy, but in that amusing way. While he was helping her out, he kept shouting that I wasn't making enough of a show at falling. "Fall harder! Put some force into it! Flail those arms! I want more flair and extravagance! Give your partner a scare! Needs momentum!" Funny man, funny man. xD

I won't deny that returning to my aunt's home instead of mine was a pleasant and fresh feeling. Although I couldn't get her to understand yesterday morning that I don't eat breakfast. Yeesh, the woman can be scary sometimes. But I love her. :)

New York trip got cancelled and this doesn't bother me as much as it could. I was looking forward to the experience but none of my friends were able to come. Besides, there's another trip in April and one next semester. Probably the biggest thorn for me there other trips aren't World Studies oriented which means I don't get credit for participating (the transfer from Health made me miss a semester so I need to catch up the credit). On a purely financial plane, this cancellation is good because my sister just threw YesAsia in my face. Why yes, that is the sound of my money flying out the window. I'm not over-spending, I'm helping to stimulate the economy!

Hey folks, yeah, I kind dropped off the face of the planet for a bit. What can I say? The homework, it called. (Expect this to happen often.)

Things are mostly under control. The History essay is done. I missed my Geo class Monday because of passport business, but I know what I'm doing again. Macro, PoliSci, and History, need to catch up on more reading -will be done on the metro. Need to do English outline for tomorrow, either tonight or tomorrow morning. Annnd, I won't be going in to school early, need to work on my dossier at home.

There, all the boring school stuff taken care of. I had my first indoor climbing session last Sunday, and omg, it was the best. Sure, everyone was a bit edgy belaying each other but after some practice we relaxed. My group's instructor for knots and safety was a bit of an ass. It didn't bother me a whole lot because he was a bit on my wavelength but the rest of my group wasn't impressed. xD

I'm seeing my aunt for the week-end! My mom caved! *glee*

And... uh... I-I think I'm crushing on TaeGoon a bit... >///>

.... This was a very random and disjointed post, I'm sorry. :S
