It's All Over :|

*big sigh*

Celebrated with a 12 hour drinking session in central London - fun fun!

I'll be a lil unhappy if i don't get a first overall this year me thinks. I know i've been lazy - and i really have been LAAAAAAA-ZEEE at times, but still, i worked pretty hard for these exams and i don't think the quality of my work throughout the year was too bad either, so i shall be hoping for that first.

It's not like this year's achievements are THAT important anyway - this year weights the least outta all three and so it doesn't matter much at all my performance this year but still, it's a confidence AND EGO thing :D

>>> forgetting the marks though, this exam session has taught me loads about how best to revise etc which of course is important for the coming years and has also got my head BACK INTO THE GAME having been out for those few odd years

Compared to where i was a year ago, both academically and everything else life - IM FECKIN FLYING!!!! and loving it :D

1 MORE TO GO!!!!!!!

And i get a whole week to revise for it! :D

But seeing as i don't actually know any of the course, that's actually a week too lil!

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!


:D


:/

2 Down, 4 To Go

Soon to be 3 down - by Friday anyway. Not going too bad thus far. Still, maths 2 will be a killer. Im just looking to pass that one!

LESSON OF THE DAY

"A force applied to a free rigid body, other than through the centre of mass, is equivalent to the force applied through the centre of mass, PLUS A COUPLE that tends to rotate the body about the axis through the centre of mass"


Er... whaaaaaaa -tah?

Typical innit? Mother fucker wasn't even acting through the fuckin centre of mass, yet somehow not only does the bitch act as though it is acting through the fuckin centre of mass, but a couple bastard comes into the mother fuckin equation too!

MUTHA -

- FUCKAH!

:D

Misconceptions Ahoy

Taken from good old wikidpedia;

Draining bathtubs/toilets

A popular misconception is that the Coriolis effect determines the direction in which bathtubs or toilets drain, and whether water always drains in one direction in the Northern Hemisphere, and in the other direction in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect is a few orders of magnitude smaller than other random influences on drain direction, such as the geometry of the sink, toilet, or tub; whether it is flat or tilted; and the direction in which water was initially added to it. If one takes great care to create a flat circular pool of water with a small, smooth drain; to wait for eddies caused by filling it to die down; and to remove the drain from below (or otherwise remove it without introducing new eddies into the water) – then it is possible to observe the influence of the Coriolis effect in the direction of the resulting vortex. There is a good deal of misunderstanding on this point, as most people (including many scientists) do not realize how small the Coriolis effect is on small systems.^[1] This is less of a puzzle once one remembers that the earth revolves once per day but that a bathtub takes only minutes to drain. When the water is being drawn towards the plughole, the radius with which it is spinning around it decreases, so its rate of rotation increases from the low background level to a noticeable spin in order to conserve its angular momentum (the same effect as bringing one's arms in on a swivel chair making it spin faster).

Well now you kn0w. ISNT FIZZZZ-ICKS GREAT?! :D

Note-to-self

:- pay better attention in lectures

The number of silly little mistakes in my Classical Mechanics notes is ridiculous.

It's amazing how just raising a number to the power 2 as opposed to 3 dramatically changes the laws of Physics :|

It's Not Easy To Revise When The Sun Is Shining Outside

And i don't even like the sun - wtf? :/

First day back at uni yesterday after a whole month off - learnt one or two things maybe so not a complete waste of time, as well as finding out where in Camden Town i'll be sitting my exams. I won't be going in for the rest of the week however - not worth it, especially as CSG was nowhere to be seen :( - i fear she has left forever. Coffee shop GUY was there yestrerday however and seemed to be happy at the sight of me - even gave me two stamps on my card as opposed to just the one - AND he remembered my order! Too bad im not gay :/

>>> alas, i fear the coffee shop dream is dead - maybe just as well - i'll always have the dream at least

Well anyway, need to get my head down now and get through Classical Mechanics revison...


AINT NOTHING TO IT, BUT TO DO IT!

shut - up

The bird chirping outside my window is really pissing me off :|

Shut up IM TRYING TO REVISE!

Procrastination is a Bitch

And it's surely the only reason why i'm stating that fact here.

>>> i realise it, yet i continue to type...

... hmmm.

Just spent most of the morning tidying my room. Why? I'm not sure. Maybe i convinced myself i can't work properly in such a messy environment. Meh - i doubt it's true though. Still, it's incredible the things you find buried under piles of junk. Pens and other stationary that you never knew you had or remember buying, tonnes of receipts of various purchases, again, none of which you remember buying, and the odd half full inhaler - that'll come in handy the next time i'm dying.

I'm astounded by the amount of paper junk though that always builds up in my room, that then takes ages to sort through and clear out. Receipts, cards, pakaging from parcels, bills, mail, junk mail, but mostly just paper that i've written random things on and lecture notes, problem paper rough answers etc.

>>> i need a shredder i think
>>> a quick, no fuss, no muss solution to my paper woes.

I already have a 'recycling bin' (cardboard box ive written recycling on and drawn a lil recycling symbol) but that doesn't seem to do the trick as it will always just spill over. Plus the paper is STILL THERE y'know? With a shredder, once the paper's been shredded, it's not actually paper anymore (kinda) and it's definitely much easier to discern shredded paper i no longer need from other paper that i do! Plus shredding looks like it may be fun, so that may give me the extra incentive to quickly dispose of paper i no longer need, as soon as i no longer need it, rather than just throwing it aside and letting it build up into an unholy mess which later warrants me cleaning it up and blogging about it at a time when i really should be revising :/

Yea - a shredder is the way to go.

I'll pick one up sometime. When? I dunno - some time soon.

Just not right now.

For Tomas

Cos he said he wanted to read something new!

Nothing much to report. Big goings on in my life right now are the exams which start in 2 weeks time, and i've yet to revise for 5 of the 6 exams! OMFG - i'm so lazy :|... :)

>>> i forsee loadsa late nights ahead - oh well, it's all part of the fun of being at university, and i am definitely enjoying my time!

When i think back to the way my life was just a year ago and how much i've managed to turn it around for the better now, it makes me... glad more than anything else. Life is too short to sit about doing fuck all. Too much to see, do, explore, ... perv on ;)

Even though revision has been lacking, i'm ecastic to report that i have kept up my strict gym regime these revision holidays, although things didn't start so well what with my shoulder suffering a strained tendon injury. Luckily i heeded the sports doc's advice and managed to work through it and now everything's fine.

>>> i think i'm in pretty damn good shape now to sport a few muscle tee's for all the lovely girlies when i get back to uni - one girlie in particular - haa hee hee! :D I just hope she's still there! I won't have seen her for almost 2 months by the time i get back to uni next week

>>> INDEED - i'm only going in for the chance to see her - i'm not too keen on attending the revision lecs for the sake of themselves as i haven't revised like i sad :/

Hmmmmm - dunno what else to say now. Hopefully that'll keep Tomas entertained for another few months :) - i've been a notty blogger i know - i think the crappy froggy template put me off a lil :/. I'll prob start blogging more once the summer hols hit - i'll need something to help break up the boredom of work no doubt.

Damn i wish i wasn't so lazy sometimes! Life would be so sweet right now if i was on top of revision. It's pretty good right now as it is, bit sigh... i need to get my act together already when it comes to academics!

Well, its almost 1:30am - time to get some sleep and then hit the books hard tomorrow. No gym on Wednesdays either so that'll free up more time to study! YIPPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!.... (!) :/

Night night.


The next morning....


Forgot to say

>>> i'm going to go see MAIDEN on December 22nd!!!!!!!!!!!!

A nice lil something-something to look forward to :D

Skipping Uni Today

I just can't bear the thought of going in today given how absolutely freezing cold it is out there. Not for two lectures, one of which i never learn much in any way and the notes are on the web in any case. Although i did have a lab report to hand in which will be late now :/.

I dunno. I hate that i am weak like this sometimes. I've been in a foul and down and out mood since yesterday and that has carried forward today. When i get like this, i just wanna shut the world outside out and just stay in listening to my music and watching my movies in a warm comfortable house. And the only time i will be able to afford that luxury is whilst i'm still at uni. I certainly don't intend on making a habit outta it but i still hate that i need that kinda respite from life from time to time. Like i said, makes me feel weak. But then skipping the occasional lecture and handing in the occasional lab report late - isn't that what being a student is all about? Does it make a bad student? I don't neccesarily think so - i've so far managed to nail each and every one of the problem sheets set this term on time. Plus this is like one lab report outta a whole lab module which adds only a fraction to my final degree...

... if i think like that of course, then no one problem sheet or essay or assignment is important and i could talk myself outta skipping them all :|

Sounds like i'm just making excuses to justify me being lazy. Justify me being weak.

I just don't wanna face the world today, that's all.

>>> time to d/l the next episode of LOST and watch that instead

- hope my ISP don't stick me onto 'management' again for p2p'ing during peak times :|

Imagine If I Told You

I've been sneezing in the mornings for the last week or so gone. Most likely owing to my 6am winter morning runs. Of the many prophetic indian sayings my mum often comes out with, one reads "whenever you sneeze, someone, somewhere is thinking of you".

Everytime i've sneezed, i've imagined CSG thinking of me. I hope she is thinking of me.

She herself must surely be on antihistamines by now given that she is on my mind morning, day and night. This is so not how i wanted things to go. I really hope i snap outta this 'mood' some time soon, else i'm gonna be in big trouble. It's already started to affect me in funny ways.



... sigh...

Ahhh crap :(
