DOOM POST

2009-10-30T06:14:44Z

...I am surprised at myself. Normally around exam time I spam everyone with posts of my epic doom, but I am yet to do so!

So here you go: my twice yearly post of OH MY GOD EXAMS I AM NOT READY I AM SO DOOMED DOOMED DOOMED.

My first exam is tomorrow - Constitutional Law - and the thought makes me die a little inside. Monday brings Administrative Law exam, and Friday is Evidence Law. THEN I WILL BE FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

In other news: I AM SO EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEKS SUPERNATURAL. AND IN THIS WEEKS EPISODE, LETS JUST SAY I FOUND ~EVERYONE~ ATTRACTIVE ;-)

I AM BORED OUT OF MY MIND.

WHO WANTS TO KNOW THINGS ABOUT S51(XX) OF THE AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION? BECAUSE I COULD TELL YOU A LOT! IT'S WHERE AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL PARLIAMENT GETS ITS POWER TO REGULATE CORPORATIONS! NOT JUST ANY CORPORATIONS THOUGH, THEY MUST BE TRADE/FINANCIAL CORPORATIONS! .........I'll stop there. MY EYES FEEL LIKE THEY ARE BLEEDING.

I also discovered I don't have enough time to even VAGUELY cover everything I need to cover for my exams. There go my dreams of good grades....weep....

1. The sound of an airplane flying past in the distance just coincided with the beginning of a song and it sounded like I was listening to my music in surround sound rather than just on my laptop. I was very weirded out until I realised what it was.

2. I just completed an epic 40% report. Today is Thursday. It is due on Tuesday. I FINISHED SOMETHING NOT THE NIGHT BEFORE ITS DUE! Yay!

3. Unfortunately, the only reason it got finished early is because I have: (a) another assignment due on Monday, and (b) exams which I haven't begun studying for in a week. SO.

4. The lead-up to exam panic begins....

5. And with the exams, comes my urge to violently clean everything near me. I want to do an EPIC hours long, pull everything out of my room and then neatly put it back in clean.

6. IM BORED.

It's that time of year again. For many reasons.

1. EXAM TIEM NAO - I have...just under 2 weeks before I write my first exam. Can anyone say doomed? I still have 2 assignments to go, as well. I AM FEELING THE DOOM.

2. SUMMER TIIIIIME: I hate summer. I really do. I don't like feeling hot, and clammy and sweaty. I don't enjoy wearing as little clothing as possible. I really dislike the shorts most girls wear - they might as well be walking around in underwear. But OTOH, I get so nostalgic around this time of year, because I arrived in Australia during summer, and so certain things twinge at my memories. I can't believe it's been 10 years since I got here.

3. ALLERGIES with the heat, comes the sneezing and itchy eyes. And I discovered just how dangerous it is to have a sneezing fit, while driving.

In other news, my exciting news for the week include:

1. SWIMMING: on Friday my sister and I woke up at 5:45am so we could get to the local aquatic centre by six, or just after to swim before she had school. We swam (and walked) laps until about 7:30, and then I threw her at her school and came home to "work". We are planning to go swimming three times a week at oh-dark-thirty, due to the immense Australian heat, and then at about 8pm I will go make use of my gym membership. This depends on my summer job, but basically we should be golden.

2. POLICE CHASE: My study's window faces my street. We live on the road curve, in a cul-de-sac shaped like a P. I watched a white car come ROARING past, with a police car hot on its heels, and as it passed my house, the police turned the sirens on. I was amused because this car must've been trying to get away when it entered my street....but there is only one road in and out of my street. Hahaha.

3. NEW CAR! My mom got a new car. Well, a new used car. This was to replace my dad's horrible old van he used for work, and the plan is he will take my mom's old station wagon and she has the new car. I was excited, because I literally have never driven in an automatic car - I don't know how. So I thought they would share with me. Then I got told that because I am under 25 and on a provisional licence, it would cost too much to insure me so I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DRIVE IT. It was very sad.

I've been listening to my sister and her friends and their "problems", and really, people who complain about how crappy their lives are and who do nothing to fix it and just think that they have it so bad piss me off. That's my complaint for today!

...I'm sorry about the soon-to-be influx of OMG DOOOM DOOOOOOOOM DOOOOOOOM EXAM DOOOOOOOOOOOM posts.

I decided to call my car THE ALBINO. =D

I also considered changing my numberplate, and lol-ed at the idea of stealing the Impala one from Supernatural (shamefully the only bit I remember is KAZ) but then realised I would be diminishing the awesome by sticking it on my 1992 Holden Barina.

DEVASTATED omg

You know how when you're a little kid there is always one band, or one artist that stays with you forever, no matter how old you get?

I am so traumatised by the death of Stephen Gately. I was completely obsessed with Boyzone as a kid - more than Backstreet Boys or any other musician. Even after I lost their CD when I moved to Australia and only found it five years later - I can still sing every single song word for word.

I have such fond memories of bonding with friends as a kid over Boyzone. And how I was convinced from ages 9-12 that I would marry Stephen Gately one day. I was upset when he announced he was gay in 1999, but quickly decided that it was the cutest thing ever. And thought he and Ronon Keating were secret boyfriends.

In summary.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.

...I have a giant report worth 45% due tomorrow. I have not even started the research for it. I DONT EVEN CARE. Once that is over and done with, I have 2 peendances due in at mishaland before Sunday...AND THEN I NEED TO START STUDYING FOR EXAMS. omg. And I still have my major Creative Writing and Professional Writing assignments due in 2 weeks, and a Professional Writing 10 minute class presentation next week.

....

In better news, I think I have a job for the upcoming holidays! It's from the end of November to the end of January and I am 99% sure it doesn't involve customers! And it's shift work - which means yay, time to myself! But most importantly: YAY MONEY. Since...the beginning of last month, I have spent nearly $400 out of my savings - I'm not quite sure how it is possible. But between food, bills and petrol and movies and um, a book here and there.....and now my car registration and car insurance is due. WEEP. I am so excited to be getting money!

insteadofdeath , you would be proud.

This is the second time in the history of my University career (four years), that I am doing an assignment before the night before it is due.

I have a really stupid assignment due on Wednesday. I am doing it today. I am about 1/3 of the way through it - and plan to have it done today as well. It's due to necessity, however, not due to my own motivation/initiative.

This week, there is not one night I am at home for -
Monday - Yom Kippur; will get home around 11pm
Tuesday - movie night - though I think I shall cancel to work on my other assignment
Wednesday - Telethon information night @ channel 7 (because I am a volunteer)
Thursday - Spontaneous Broadway - a ....show - get home around 1030pm
Friday - Shabbat - get home around 12am
Sat & Sun - Telethon volunteering

....And this week & next week are the ones where all my assignments are due. SEE MY PANICKED CRAZY FACE.

PS - Sorry G-D, I DO REALISE IT IS YOM KIPPUR TODAY. IM SORRY I STILL HAVE TO GO TO UNI ANYWAY.

GUYS I COULD NOT LOVE MERLIN MORE IF I TRIED. I LITERALLY DO NOT THINK IT IS POSSIBLE.

itzaimster , who is wonderful, always links me to the wonderful things.

1. I am Australian. I love John Farnham's You're The Voice song. I think it's a citizenship requirement, or something.

2. I love Colin Morgan. I love Bradley James.

3. I THINK THIS IS FATE.

ps - HOW DO THEY EVEN KNOW OF IT. MY BRAAAAAIN.

2009-09-21T05:05:16Z

Guys, I am open to suggestions. OPEN. But mostly to suggestions related to my question below:

For one of my uni assignments, I am required to answer this question:

Discuss a recent development, technique, method or political regime that has replaced (or is

about to replace) an older one. Show how the new compares with the old and speculate on

what changes the new development may bring.

NOW - it's meant to be a magazine article. It can come from any real magazine - including gossip rags. I would assume. So, as I think to myself, what on Earth could I write about? I'm definitely not writing about government changes. Boring. Or social networking changes. That requires research and effort. And it is meant to be interesting to me. My interests, um. WELL. I have come up with 3 topics that relate to my interests.

BUT I NEED HELP. So far my ideas include:

1. STARGATE: There is a stargate magazine, it is perfectly valid. To apply to the question, I could discuss SG1 versus SGA versus SGU. IDK, IDK.

2. HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA: Look, THIS INTERESTS ME OK. I am saddened that Justice Kirby has left. I am intruiged by the fact there are so many women sitting on the bench. I wonder how the different composition will affect the court!

3. SUPERNATURAL: like in #1, Supernatural has its own magazine. Which means I am totally sticking to the guidelines. And lol, relevant to my interests is the new plot in season 5. it will all relate to MISHA V MARKSHA - HEAVEN V HELL - WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO EARTH IF GOD LOSES TO THE DEVIL.

ANY OThER IDEAS, FRIENDS? =D

2009-09-21T02:37:29Z

1. Merlin 2x01. OMG. I LOVE THIS SHOW TO DEATH.

2. For Australian supernatural fans, itzaimster linked me to an article, which in summary, declares CHANNEL 10 SUCKS ARSE. Well, okay, no it doesn't, but it DOES say that SUPERNATURL IS NOT AIRING IN AUSTRALIA. They made a mistake in saying that season 5 would start airing on the 28th. It is not.

For my Evidence Law assignment, I'm doing a question which requires me to analyse the protective measures for children who have to come to court to give evidence in sexual assault cases in our jurisdiction, and then compare with other jursidictions.

While interesting, I just spent half an hour reading a transcript of a defence lawyer cross-examining a little boy who said he and his sister had been assaulted by a relative. It was brutal. If I ended up in tears, imagine the poor little kid, who is in this giant courtroom, who is surrounded by strangers, and has a man in front of him saying "YOU ARE A LIAR. STOP LYING. WHO TOLD YOU TO LIE. WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS A LIE, ISNT IT" etc, etc.

This is really sucky research. I am very disallusioned about child protective measures in courts.

SO. Upcoming Twitter war, supernatural fen. Anyone interested? Info is here, but in summary, on Thursday after 9am Vancouver time, everyone on twitter should post this tweet:

#PDiddyIsScaredOfHisTV: http://bit.ly/44Jo7k Aww, P Diddy is scared of the big bad #Supernatural TV show on CW 9/8C http://bit.ly/16KP45

Additionally, I need some help! I NEED IDEAS! For one of my units, I have to write an article discussing a recent devleopment, technique, method or political regime that is about to replace an older one OR compare to products in relation to their structure, function, price, etc, etc, etc. Now the article has to be in the style it would appear in whatever magazine it would appear. SO - I could write about Stargate versus Stargate Atlantis versus Stargate Universe. But that seems very nerd-like of me.

I AM VERY tempted to write a Misha versus Marksha article (lol the magazine it would appear in has to be real, so stargate magazine, but otherwise Hell TImes?). But yes. 30% of my grade.

IDEAS?

Latest Procrastination Scheme!

2009-09-13T07:30:06Z

So we all know how nosy I am. I enjoy seeing other people's material possessions!

As such: show me what is inside your bag! =D! (In a non-creepy way!)

1. My Wallet: It has everything in it. Everything. Lately, that includes my bus ticket (I used to have it outside my bag). Currently it is devoid of money though. D:
2. Lip Gloss: Haha ok I lie - I mostly forget this. Not on purpose though! But I do.
3. Tissues: inevitably, someone needs a tissue.
4. USB: I didn't have it in my bag for two days, and almost died. WHY IS IT SO USEFUL?
5. Pens: I HAVE SO MANY PENS. I generally have about 3 or 4 in my bag...just in case
6. Glasses case: not that it ever gets used. In fact, I didn't even have a glasses case up until recently
7. Book: The Picture of Dorian Gray - I have been reading this book for aaaaages. I refuse to skim read, so it is taking me a long time!
8. Cell phone - MY LIFELINE. I feel so naked without it.
9. Highlighter - I generally have at least one, if not three or so of them in my bag. I go through highlighters like people go through water.
10. Cold & flu medication: I've learnt my lesson. I get colds at weird times. I am now prepared.
11. A notebook: used for everything - story ideas; taking down stupid drivers licenses (which I never turn in, but it makes me feel better); shopping lists, etc
12. Post-it notes: SO USEFUL. For everything. EVERYTHING.
13. Band-aid: eveyrtime I need one, I never have one. So I have a safety one in my wallet (which got used recently, so now this is a new one)
14. NUROFEN: this actually may be the most important item in my bag. I always get headaches/feel sick at uni/out shopping etc. ALWAYS.
15. Ipod: Meet Arthur.

I basically have no words BUT

1. CLAVICLE. I thought I was over the mixing fandom and actual show. BUT OMG I ALMOST DIED OF HORROR. AND THEN LAUGHTER. KRIPKE, WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME? I especially like the idea that someone had to actually write that little gem of Becky's.

2. CAS. BADASS WHO KILLS OTHER ANGELS NOW

3. BOBBY. OMG I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING.

4. DEAN WINCHESTER IS THE LAST HORCRUX. Trufax.

5. I thought there would be manly crying at the end, but only manly angst - but I'm still not complaining.

6. NICK. Who is special. Who I know I am going to love. The devil's speech was quite convincing. I forgot it was the devil talking.

IN SUMMARY, MY VIEWING EXPERIENCE CAN BY SUMMARISED AS THIS: HORCRUXES AND CLAVICLES FTW

I AM ALIVE. It is 830am, I have not gone to bed yet, and I have thrown my assignment at the law office and washed my hands of it. I finished at about 5am and then decided instead of editing it, I would watch Howls Moving Castle and then the news until 7am, and then I would go to uni. I am pleased with my decision.

insteadofdeathmay whip me, but GUYS HAHAHAHA. It is 12am. I have an assignment due in EXACTLY 12 HOURS. Guess who hasn't even begun writing it up?

This assignment is impossible. Only because 1500 words IS TOO LITTLE. Who the heck can write such a small research essay?

(PS - I thought my cat was making gasping, tinny noises. Then I realised no, it wasn't my cat. It was the straw sliding up my can of drink and making the noise as it touched the metal sides).

ALSO I KNEW YOU COULD 'DETECT' THE MUSIC YOU ARE LISTENING TO. BUT NOW YOU CAN 'DETECT' YOUR LOCATION? /CREEPED OUT.
(...............................hahaha okay, I am less worried. The location is WRONG, by about a 25 minute drive). HAHAHAHAHA .... I will totally leave it anyway)

eta: 3:10am. I am only 400 words over the word limit, I have no conclusion or sentence structure. I am feeling the win here. HOWEVER. At this rate I will be done by about 6am. If references don't kill me. =D

Running commentary

2009-09-07T01:17:55Z

So I don't have 20,000 boring entries of OH MY GOD I AM DOOMED, I will just keep updating this one. Because every time I have a major assignment/exam, I sit here and proclaim my doom for all. And, it is fun procrastination.

SO -
It is 9:14am on Monday, the 7th. I am still reading article #3 of about 6 that I have in order to do this assignment.

The plan goes like this:
9-12pm: article reading
12-3pm - attempt at writing, or at least planning the assignment
3-4pm: fetching younger sister from her hellish school (seriously, it is hell - it is a bunch of mothers in big 4WDs who drive like LUNATICS and try to run me over. while I am still in my car.)
5-9pm: attempt writing
9-11pm: hopefully writing

I am also sick. I have a cold and a sore throat and so I wasted my entire weekend doing nothing because I felt like death. And it seems so pathetic to say a cold had me curled up in bed feeling sorry for myself. ANYWAY.

9:17am - signing off to go do work (OMG DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM)
