The purple nails

I celebrated my end-of-assignment freedom by painting both my finger and toenails purple.

Yeah well, not the first time, but then I figured I should appreciate the extra time that I have now by painting my nails because the nail polish I have had been collecting dust in my drawer for quite some time already. I guess it might have already got bored from being left alone.

Today the trip to MV was quite fun. Bought a new pair of shoes that made me so very tall when I wear them (yays!), and watched a thriller movie with Sal. Both of us got freaked out by the two female killers in "The Strangers". Seriously, the masks are just way freaky.

Cut my hair too. Told Mr. Hairstylist that I wanted to keep my hair long, cause I got bored of my short hair already, but he said I had to not cut my hair for at least six months if I want to keep my hair long before he can do anything with it. So now my hair is short again, because not cutting my hair for six months is a very horrifying thought. Though it probably saves me a lot of money.

Which, btw, I need to stop buying stuff. If I continue buying stuff, I will have to starve myself in order to make ends meet, and we all know that a hungry Jojo is a very unstable person.

Erms.... to be honest, I should be studying instead of crapping here, but wth. I figured I deserve a lil R&R after all those assignments before hitting the books for finals. I'm sure it's well deserved. Lol!

The Syntax quiz

If it was not for this quiz's result, I would have skipped Morpho & Syntax tutorial. And I was already prepared to be emo, to expect the worst, but to my complete surprise, and also my horror, because after I saw my marks, I almost had a moment of break down.

I know... I'm being very emo. Because I really was expecting the worst. I told myself again and again before that, that if my quiz marks came back super lousy, I will not cry or show to anyone how much my stupid marks are affecting me. Why do I say so? Because this sem has not been good to me. Okay, technically last sem was bad too, seeing as my CGPA dropped so much that I don't think my dad will be pleased if he knows.

I still didn't tell him my result yet.

So anyways.... this sem's quizzes have all been bad for me. It's not that I didn't put in effort. In fact, for my Psycholing quizzes and Morpho quiz I studied bermati-matian for them. Not so bermati-matian that I am almost dead, but close enough. It's safe to say that I put in quite a lot of effort for the studying, well, more than I usually did for quizzes and tests, and what do I get?

Stupid, sucky results, is what. Again and again my results came back, and I had to tell myself to not cry over my result because, honestly, it's not that bad. It really is NOT that bad, it's just not good. Doesn't make sense? All this while my parents expect me to get good results. They don't expect average result, they want above average result. And out of sheer luck, I have always managed to give them that. I guess my luck is running out already, seeing as my results are all so very average, and that are only during good days. I don't even want to mention the bad days.

Anyways, this Syntax quiz is not that great anyways. It's not like I got 90% or something, but the thing is, I didn't put in much effort for this quiz at all. In fact, I looked over the notes once and decided that I might as well not bother since all my extra efforts for Pyscholing and Morpho quizzes all went down the drain, got flushed by the heavy rain all the way into the polluted sea and was never to be seen again. I figured it will happen again to me for Syntax quiz, and so if I didn't put in any effort, at least I could tell myself that it serves me right. At least I won't be so depressed about my efforts being wasted and me feeling like a complete stupid.

Except that this wasn't what had happened. My quiz turned out better than I expected, even if it's not great, but still....

Makes me wonder if I shouldn't bother at all for my quizzes and tests. It seems that it works better when I don't care.

Lessons

Lesson 1: Running in and out of the afternoon sun, as in mid afternoon, can cause massive headache.

Lesson 2: Taking a nap while suffering said afternoon sun caused headache without taking a Panadol first is going to make the headache worse.

Lesson 3: Carbonated pineapple drink sucks. It tastes like flat beer, except that it is much much worse, and can cause some unpleasant feeling if you drink it after dinner. It is important to note that carbonated pineapple drink is NOT the same as pineapple juice. One has gas inside, another has not.

Lesson 4: Hitting the playground and sitting on the swing till your butt hurts after dinner is not a wise idea. It causes something almost similar to motion sickness, you feel giddy and your tummy feels as though it wants to throw up everything that you have just eaten.

Lesson 5: When the tummy decides that the food is not worth keeping, it is better to listen to it and hurry to the nearest available toilet in order to avoid a mess. Not to mention you will feel the tiniest bit better after your tummy stops rebelling.

Weariness

I am getting old. Oops, correction, I am feeling old.

And I am only twenty!!

Gosh... I'm so tired. And I still have a quiz, a writing assignment, which is very boring to write, and a newspaper to produce. And after struggling with last week's three deadlines in two days, I am more than ready to drop dead and not wake up and smell the shit again.

I am supposed to be doing my assignment, either writing some stupid, boring topic that I don't care about, or writing some stupid, boring news that I don't care about. Both are writing assignment, which is something I usually enjoy doing. Not the assignment, mind you, but writing. Can't believe I actually hate writing, judging from the way I am feeling oh-so-resentful towards those two assignments.

I really should start now, but my head hurts. Dizzy, spinning like some merry-go-round, my brain, that's it, in my skull. Makes me wonder if I am falling sick, but PLEASE GOD DON'T LET ME FALL SICK. I can't afford to fall sick, not now. I'm already tired enough without the extra dose of un-immunity system.

So what now? I think I am starting to sound boring with all my complaints about assignment. I think I will stop being boring and go face the ultimate boredom instead.

Overloaded

With assignments!

My brain feels as though it has consumed too much information in one go, and is now bloated and have difficulty digesting. Been trying to read Cohort and Trace since last night, and thus resulting in inflated brain. I pity my brain and myself, but this is the retribution if you procastinate.

So now I'm sincerely asking my brain to cooperate with me, because I have three assignments due this week. Hopefully, by the end of the week, I will come out as a winner in the battle!

Love ya, brain! Muacks.

If this post sounds a lil whacked out, this is because the person writing is currently unconsciously stressed out and needs some fun, and also her brain is too overloaded with Cohort and Trace and morphology to function normally.
