Crying Freedom

Something I learnt today: Across the globe two barbie dolls are sold every second.
Something that made me laugh today: Corny Starwars dialogue.

Finally exams are over. I’ve managed to spend some time drinking and playing poker, watching TV, you know, things I *like* doing.

Today was my first total day of freedom, what with work on Monday and McHouse on Friday. But, I still found myself under house arrest for most of the day. Men came to replace some flooring, men came to install a hand railing and later on in the day a plumber came over as well.

Despite all this, I still managed to escape and see the new Star Wars film. It took me long enough, given my original plan involved a midnight session on opening night.

So, after all that jazz the exams went ok. I’m starting to be concerned about the fact that I maybe didn’t write enough in Microbiology but it is now somewhat out of my control and I really just have to deal with it, don’t I?

So…What have I actually done since the end of exams? Sarah’s birthday party. We all ate food, got drunk and danced about to Blink 182 and the Gorillaz all night. Friday I hung out with my sister and *finally* saw Team America. Saturday I worked and then went to Djaja’s place (I should note that I beat the man home…) where we all drank again and played poker using Marlene’s $3 per kilo dried banana chips as the betting chips. Sunday night I went to visit Gemma and ate souvlaki on a pizza for dinner while watching videos and chilling out. Spent 30 minutes asleep in her lounge room when at 3 am one of her clocks promptly reminded me of its presence, prompting me to move down to the front room.

Monday I went home and started moving furniture around so the floors could be done. Then I went to work (I’d like to remind you all I had a stick class on Sunday) and then went home to move more furniture, which I’ve now returned to original locations. My arms/back are getting just a little bit sick of this.

I like holidays.

I guess it's just another night alone

Something I learnt today: Episode IV by Jimmy Eat World is described as their "greatest love song" I don't like it any more.
Something that made me laugh today: Various other blogs on the web

I'm well aware of the fact that I haven't updated this in years. Sorry. It's the exams. Nasty things they are.

I had one yesterday for a subject called "Genome Science" which I thought went very well. After which Marlene, Tara and myself went on a quest for Tim Tam Drumsticks and wound up with a box of Snickers Pods, a bag of cheese and bacon balls and a block of Old Gold chocolate (which I currently happen to be consuming).

So then I got home and began to look at my Microbiology revision. Microbiology, my final exam and the one for which I have to do the most work (I suppose this goes without saying because it is the only subject for which I currently can do work) given that I slept through half the lectures.

I'd like to point out I didn't actually *do* any revision at this point in time, I merely looked at it.

What I did do was walk to the train station, take a train to South Yarra and wander into the Duke of Windsor five minutes before the Sparrows were allegedly going to start performing. At this point the Goo Fangs (or something) were still performing and didn't leave the stage for a good 20 minutes. (It's beyond me why Badger never knows when he's supposed to be playing). Not that I'm complaining, they were actually a very good band. I must remember to do a google search for them.

Not much interesting came out of the concert (compared to previous Sparrow's shows at the Duke at least) but the boys performed very well, even if only 1 guitar was in tune and Brett dropped a drum stick at the end of "Thought you should know."

Live music makes me so happy. It's going to take all my strength not to go watch them again next week. Given the micro exam being thursday morning, spending Wednesday night in a very loud pub seems somewhat of a bad idea.
