Teacup.

I’ve never called myself a Bruce Willis fan but I just realized that most of my favorite movies has him as the main actor. Two of my favorites are Mercury Rising and The Fifth Element. As you can probably see, I’m no chick-flick girl. Don’t know why, those chick-flicks never did it for me.

My most watched, thus most loved movie, is The Italian Job (2003). No Bruce Willis in sight but! I immediately became a fan of Mark Wahlberg after that movie. I saw him in Shooter after that, and it was brilliant!

Back to Bruce Willis, as I was listening to Aerosmith’s Don’t Want To Miss A Thing track, I remembered Armageddon and loved that movie, even though it’s slightly tragic. Bruce Willis is one of the main actor. I do realize that most if not all of the movies above aren’t 4-5 star movies but I love the action, the plot…everything.

What about the Die Hard series? Well…I thought it was average. Too much “Yippee-ki-yay, Motherfucker”, too little seasoning of awesome, kick-ass action.

In real life, this is my last week of my 4-month long holiday before I have to haul my ass back to university. University is starting to become a drag, to be honest. I enjoy what I’m studying but I’m quite terrible at lab work. Very worrying considering Biomedical Science is about lab work. I enjoy the lectures and the subject…just not the lab. The lab instructor gives out the instructions, then he talks about the work for the next hour or so, which is interesting, then it’s “Get to it, people!” and that’s when I start to go downhill.

For others, they’ve probably done science in high school so they have the basic lab skills. I did zero science and I only started science at university. It’s kinda hard to find textbooks about lab procedures and equipment.

Oh well, I’ll just have to suck it up. Here’s to my last week of ~ FREEDOM! ~

I’ve just upgraded to WordPress 3.0 and it takes some getting used to what with the very light gray of the whole administration layout scheme in comparison to the previous darker colored scheme. I actually wish that dark-colored scheme had stayed. Or at least give me an option to choose it…

It’s been about two and half weeks since first trimester ended and I still haven’t sat my first exam. It really is a drag when ¾ of the student population have finished all their exams, and then there’s me who hasn’t even sat one yet. Well, my first one is this coming Friday. I’m going to fail that one. I know it. Fuck.

The next and last(!) exam will be Chemistry on the coming Tuesday. I’m…unsure about that one. I’ve told everyone, and myself, a million times that I intend to just pass that paper. I hate Chemistry but it’s required, so I’m just going to pass it. I’ll be glad if I actually pass it though…

The Saturday straight after my last exam, I’ll be going on a little vacation with two of my friends for four days. It’ll be interesting, me thinks. Not stating where I’m going cause I’m paranoid about my privacy but I’ve never been to this city, hell, I’ve never been to 95% of this whole country (New Zealand). I’ve told my friends that it’ll be a first for me to visit this city, so excited!

I’ve been planning a Teacup 2.0 for the past few months now but I haven’t been happy with where the design ended up. I must have thrashed at least three designs. And I don’t know if other people follow this rule (highly unlikely), any designs that I thrashed are archived. Never to be used. Ever. Again. It feels…dirty to recycle layouts.

Did I mention I’m currently in my mid-term break? Or more like, nearing the end of my two short weeks of break from the killer otherwise known as university. This two short weeks of break…known as a “mid-term break”. My ass. It was OK…as with the other 99.999% of the student population, “I had this grand plan to study over the break! I really did! But the holiday just simply flew by and I still got my work to do…my procrastination is killing me…” Yep, sounds like me as well.

There was a supposed plan to meet up for dinner with a couple of friends. It’s supposedly happening in 24 hours from now and I still have no idea what time we’re meeting or if it’s actually happening. Doesn’t help that I feel it’s a drag as well…I want to be excited for it, but I just can’t muster the energy. I think I spent all that energy in my work environment.

All I feel right now is this…bone-dead tiredness. I want it to go away, especially since university starts back up next week and my first class is a Chemistry class on 9AM on a [censored] Monday. I hate Chemistry…

Totally change of subject but…you know, I never figured out how some people can develop crushes on a fictional character. Like…say for example, a video game character. Until now.

I was all cruisy-wuizy playing Apollo Justice – Ace Attorney…successfully getting past case one (with the help of a walkthrough, obviously.). Come case number two…and we meet Klavier Gavin. And I’m seriously (?_?) at him. Argh! I want it to stop…but I can’t he’s too good looking for a stupid video game character.

And not only is he good looking, he’s fucking hot in court! (That did not just rhyme…) And the person who voiced him for the US version, he sounds hot. I mean, the whole time I was playing case two, I’m sitting there waiting for him to yell “Objection!” I feel like I’m back in college developing crushes at the most minor things.

I don’t know what it is about Klavier Gavin’s character design, but it’s just so appealing. He looks cool, he looks hot, he sounds hot…*melts into a puddle of goo*

— Sorry, it seems the blogger is not in the proper capacity to continue this post. Let’s hope she will be back to her normal human form by the next post. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures of her supposed video-game crush, cause I certainly will!

Objection!

Yeah, I’m just hot.

Wow, what a week! Not too sure if I blogged about it before but this week was my first week back at university. And who the hell invited the drama llama to the party?!

Right, I had my timetable all nice and tidy before university. I’ve arranged everything so that I qualified for student living allowance and loans from the government – really, the only qualification is that you have to be an equivalent full-time student to get the living allowance). In my second lecture (Introductory Biochemistry), I decided to pull out of that course and take an Information Systems to fill in that gap (so that I qualify as a full-time student). I heard a rumor that the IS course was fully booked, and the wait-list was huge, so I went and saw the course co-ordinator about this.

So here I am, in his office, hearing the rumor confirmation from his mouth, proceeded to plead with him that I really need this course, otherwise I’m thoroughly fucked by the government. Well, he held his ground.

After a lot of ‘this-is-the-end-of-the-world-for-me’ moments, I decided that I’ll not take the IS papers. In fact, I’m going to be a part-time student with only four papers this year. (Full time student must take a minimum of six, which I had originally.) The other paper which I dropped is a second year Psychology paper, which was a fill-in course as well.

With this, I’ll still get a loan, I just can’t get that weekly $160.24NZD from the government to sit in my bank and earn interest. I checked my student records just before 5PM today, Friday, and finally, finally, everything is done and proceeding to plan. Now I can give the green-light to the government to pay my loan.

It actually feels so…good now. I don’t feel that I might fail something, or I don’t have enough time to do things for my own self. There is no pressure. I’ve got time to dedicate to my studies, to my ~dream job~, to my own self. Perhaps this time, I’d finally get that elusive A for the first time since I’ve been at university.
