Tell Me I haven't blogged in eons, this place is smelling of rot, and not the good kind (is there a good kind of rot?) either. So what's been happening with me? Let's see. Promotional exams are over (long ago), I've gotten my results (less long ago) and found them not-so-satisfactory (5 minutes after less long ago occurred) and am now mulling in a seemingly-depressed-but-actually-quietly-content state of mind. I'm not going to tell you what I got, I don't want you to know how much of an idiot I am, especially after I already told you that my commonplace circular arguments are only difficult to follow because they make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I will, however, tell you that my CCA responsibilities are back in full swing, and I am not enjoying them one bit. But I can't exactly quit on such short notice, and I'm not going to be a coward who will quit in the first place, so I've decided I'm going to suck it up and survive. Not do my best, no. Just survive. Because I'm far too passive to even hit the halfway mark my 'best' has so evilly pinned up. My brother's left for Taiwan. Part of his NS thing. And here's the part where I see myself having to find my presence in the aforementioned country two years down the road. I'm not dreading it, but I'm not exactly throwing a party at the prospect either (I mean, there's still the chance I don't go, which won't really leave me a devastated mess). Project Work is bitching up my life. It's not as if the work isn't enough for us to handle, but now I have drama between two group members, and I can't possibly play the diplomat while retaining my status as a spectator. Frankly, it's starting to piss me off too, and they'd better get their shit together if they want that A. We've already come too far to lose it now, although it isn't surprising if we never got it in the first place (touches my study desk, for it is the nearest thing made out of wood from where my ass is currently planted (Yes, that's right, my study desk is made of wood!) ). Chinese A Level Examination is in roughly 33 hours. I hope I'm prepared, although the truth of that fact can be debated very easily. At least I have 2.5 hours of tuition tomorrow, so that might just push my preparation levels up by so much. I just realised that I do need to prepare on my own, and I should probably start now, but it's already 11.09pm, so there isn't much time until I have to sleep to prepare for my tuition the next day. I do hope for a B, but I think a C's fine too. After all, how many people I have met, who claimed a pass was all they needed to make their days, and allow them to revel in the fact that they never have to study Chinese ever again. Listening constantly to All Time Low's music now. Their new album, 'Nothing Personal', differs so greatly from their previous album, 'So Wrong, It's Right'. But while some may say it's a bad thing, I think it's really quite refreshing. Both albums were great anyway, but now I can't stop wanting to sing aloud (even if in public) when I hear their new tunes on my iPod. And it's just so dam catchy, I keep thinking about the lyrics, non-stop. The strange thing though, is that their new album makes them sound like Boys Like Girls' first album. And Boys Like Girls' second album is different from the first, too. I'm glad to see change in music styles from the different bands I know, and like I said, it's refreshing to realize that the band you're listening to sounds like how a band used to sound like when you used to listen to the latter. Extremely hyped up about L4D2's release on Nov 17th, probably gonna wait until after Theatre Week to buy it, though. Saw the L4D2 Survival Guide, and felt it was incredibly epic, and hands down THE best game-related video I have ever seen. It's sort of a trailer, but not exactly a trailer either, but I couldn't care less. As random YouTube comment leavers have exclaimed, I might have (not, I really didn't) "Jizz in my pants." Either way, I'm still having a fit over how awesome the games going to be. The demo's out and it's already received positive feedback from the best players of L4D, and the common public players as well. Valve has a magic formula that other game-making companies might want to get their hands on (well, not really, I'd rather it stay with Valve). So, tell me, what's been up with you? -2318, 31-10-09 |
