OK, I don’t know whether I have whinged and whine (if I wasn’t whinging and whining, what else would I be doing?) before about me not finding the “suitable” LJ account to cross-post my entries. It’s kinda worrisome that I might lose all my entries since Teacup started. But yesterday, inspiration struck! It was like…thunder crack. I’m not going to post the journal account until all my entries are cross-posted. I’m so excited that the account wasn’t taken.
In other news, remember the AshPink rant I made? Well, a whole month and nearly two weeks later on Twitter, we are told about free hosting until May 2010 for paid clients. Note we weren’t told what the fuck happened until somebody else asked what the fuck happened. Turns out the server was revoked. Great. So can I have my money back now since I only got nearly two months worth of my YEAR-LONG PAID plan? I still have the receipt.
On a lighter note (I want some sort of compensation APHost, damn it!), I finished all my exams just this Saturday gone by. This course, I just need to pass it. It’s so nerve-wrecking. I remember one question totally got me stumped. Something about skin lesions by Atherosclerosis, I think. Only this morning, the answer hit me. Something about fatty dots, fatty streaks, fatty pools and all that. Cue head/desk.
Will edit this post once all entries have been cross-posted successfully.
EDIT: I present to you, Boateng! Inspiration from the one and only Ozwald Boateng. ?
This series of articles published on The New York Times online is something that I think everyone should read. This is one of the reasons why I know that I made the right choice when I quit my commerce degree and started this biomedical degree.
Mother of Nepal Vanquish a Killer of Children (Measles)
Rumor, Fear and Fatigue Hinder Final Push to End Polio
Dose of Tenacity Wears Down a Horrific Disease (Guinea Worm)
Preventable Disease Blinds Poor in Third World (Blinding Trachoma)
Beyond Swollen Limbs, a Disease’s Hidden Agony (Lymphatic Filariasis/Elephantiasis)
Just a side note, it is thought that the origins of this medical sign is based on the Guinea Worm. The Guinea Worm persists back from when Egyptians were building pyramids up until the current times. The Guinea Worm can be “helped” by curling the worm around a twig as it slowly comes out. This is something like what the medical sign looks like.
Going totally off-topic, if you’re a budding waiter/waitress, you might want to check out 100 things restaurant staffers should never do. Part 1, part 2. Of course, the writer can talk the talk, but can he walk the walk? In my opinion, I don’t think so.
Uhm, it’s exactly a week until my first exam. I think I’m about a third way through my revision. For that particular exam, that is. I remember there a was rant that I need to vent out here, but for the life of me, I can’t remember what it is. Urgh. It’s frustrating.
Since I can’t remember, enjoy the Heineken advertisement. It never fails to send me laughing so hard, I cry. Watch the woman wearing the black dress (the one introducing her new walk-in wardrobe). I love her expression when she hears the guys screaming. XD That is the best part, I think. Hehe…
And this is the Bavaria spoof. Freaking awesome, man! Just for this, Bavaria deserves to get a few extra sales.
Last class of university finished just under a week ago. It feels good because it’s over. Yay! ?
It stinks because the finals are looming over me. However, I am living up to my name as Queen Procrastinator. So what have I been wasting my time on? Psypets!
I came across this site back in 2007 when I wanted to have a virtual pet but nothing like Neopets. I played Psypets for a year then I took a hiatus of it. In that time, I made a lot of money. If only I can convert it to real $$$…After a one-year hiatus, I’m back at it again. If any of you play, I’m Decimate.9 over there.
What else have I been wasting my time on…oh yeah. My final writing assignment. If I did not take this incredibly stupid writing course, I would have had zero assignments/essays this trimester. *whine whinge whine whinge* Hem hem. For this course, (I can’t even talk about this course without my blood boiling…) we have four essays to write. The first three are off my hands. The fourth one is set on the last week of the damn course and we have two weeks to complete it. Do you know what it’s on about? My freaking reflection on the writing course. Argh! Hear my screams of frustration!
You might think it’s easy. It’s not. They make it sound easy to trick people like me. At first I thought it was a personal opinion on what I thought about the course. Then the tutor tells me it’s actually what was taught in the course to attract more students doing it.
“… … … WTF?!?” *head/desk x4820375*
It’s only 700-900 words and I have completed it with 800+ words of bullshit. There, I finished it. Now they can’t say I didn’t do it.
Since the exercycle is finally fixed in my house, I’m off to cycle. Ta-ta.
