SO! My massive 3 exams in three days is over, and now I have a whoooooole WEEK until Finance 1 ^_^.
Have been rereading my old Deltora quest books lately, very fond memories =] However Hungy mentioned deltora quest anime and watching that kind of made it less special in my head...== It inserted all those "we're fighting for PEACE and...FREEDOM!" type lines and made the whole thing sound much more corny >3 Way to ruin a memory man =[
Music I have been listening to lately:
Ron Pope - A drop in the ocean
If you're feeling a bit lovesick
Train - Brick by Brick, This ain't goodbye, Hey soul sister
The last one makes me happy. The first two I've just found and am not really sure what I think about them =] I really like this band ^^ They've got some really nice songs.
Josh Pyke - The Summer, Memories and Dust
The summer is one of those nostalgic songs. Memories and Dust MV has baby chickens hatching.
Someone still loves you Boris Yeltsin - Cardinal Rules
I laughed that they named the band to make Boris feel better. Tbh I'm not actually sure why they're called that but it's a nice thought ^^
Last Dinosaurs - Honolulu
I'm not sure why I like this. It just gives me alot of energy ^^
Chopin - Ocean etude (Op. 25, no 12)
Pro piano, and it sounds awesome =]
Hancock Soundtrack - The Moon and the Superhero
For feeling epic and superhero-y. At about 1min57-ish I always imagine someone standing on top of a cliff with a cape on a windy day haha.
Anyway yes, so my first day of the finance studying period was spent playing CoD and driving mom and James to/from work/school. Yaay. I love slow days like this XD
Fact: Calumniate - To make maliciously or knowingly false statements about. Also, the washbasin handles in the guys toilet in the Melb U physics podium resemble ninja stars. =]

I always wondered about this haha
And our last topic was the animal kingdom (like classification and whatnot, I made a wonderful flowchart for it =]) Somehow, that got me thinking about this type of Australian bird I remember learning about from Primary school. So I sat and thought.
and thought..
and thought...
AND REMEMBERED!! It's called the Tawny Frogmouth- I know, awesome name right? That is just the beginning, when I googled this bird to refresh my memory like every page had some lolful pic on it. Anyway, it gave me such a refreshing change from the dullness of bio that I felt I should share the good mood with the internet ^_^
"Smouldering eyes" I need to learn how to do this expression bahah
At the time I thought this one had a kind of evil little dictator look about it but now it kind of just looks out of it ..^^"
"Bed hair"
You may think this this one is happy to see you, but the caption that came with it said it was eating a small animal =[
Ok so now you can all see how the week of being locked up at home has affected me =p Anyway hope that gave you some kind of respite from the hard studying I know you are all doing ^^
Fact: The juxtaglomerular apparatus is made of modified smooth muscle, and reacts to drops in blood pressure by releasing renin which acts on angiotensinogen which acts on angiotensin I which acts on angiotensin II which stiumlates thirst, constricts peripheral arterioles, constricts efferent arterioles in nephrons and makes the hypothalamus produce aldosterone via the posterior pituitary which changes the permeability of the tissue in the thick ascending limb of Henle to water which allows more to be reabsorped and increases total blood volume, leading to an increase in blood pressure, maintaining homeostasis. =] Wooosh! I told you I'd done my bio revision XD

See you on the other side of exams kids =]
So whoever reads this has probably realised I haven't posted for a little while =] This is of course because of the evil evil evil exams I have on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Since they're kind of important and my first ever uni exams I thought I'd try and hardcore nerd it out.
Hahahahahah =__="
I love how I trick myself into doing this every pre-exam period. I mean, by all rights, should have been studying couple weeks before now, so I wouldn't have to try and all out nerd...but it's the same as making lunch on holidays; always too far to prepare for properly so when you actually feel hungry/need to study you just end up with a ceebs 4 layer toasted cheese sandwich lol ^^" (I'm not sure what the studying equivalent of that is >_>)
In other news though, I FINALLY FINALLY learnt Comptine D'un autre ete from Amelie (that song Pingu played heaps at school if any mhs kids remember) and I think you should all search for it because it's awesome! I'd almost forgotten about that song, but Mum found it in my youtube history and loved it so I decided to hunt down the sheet music =] Funny thing is it took me less than a couple hours to learn. I like how you can just steamroll down tasks when you set your mind to them =] Also we got an awesome Tv and I now have the Bridge to Terabithia soundtrack. That movie always makes me feel extra optimistic X^__^
Anyway I'd better get some sleep now XD Hope everyone is still studying hard =]
Fact: I decided to blog at midday today. It is now 11.27pm. Now you may think that is alot of lag..but ... I got hung up playing this towerdefence game, and then eating, then setting up Tv, then some other game made by american uni kids. And yes, the final blow for my apathy was the realisation that I wouldn't be able to say I blogged TODAY if I did it past 12 ^^"
