It's been over a month.......

I feel so guilty that I have deserted my blog for over a month. I'll make this a long post filled with adjectives to make up for my lack of writing.

Well, a lot of things have happened, here's an overview, lets say... an introduction:

1. I had an exam, I know hate a researcher called Braak who lives in Germany and who I have never met.
2. I had a surprise birthday party with fake wine glasses.
3. I baked carrot cakes for people who probably don't deserve cakes.
4. I watched a variety of films this Christmas holiday
5. I stressed out about my future life/career. Again.
6. I was given a telling off by Miss. Short fuse that reduced me to tears.
7. I drew a calligraphy card for a friend of Miss. Short Fuse, and I'm quite proud of it actually.
8. I'm annoyed at our pompous mayor of London for increasing the stupid tube prices... again.
9. I went to a pathology museum with Miss. short Fuse and Miss. Hepburn, and felt really stupid as we all guessed what different organs were.
10. I completed my annual 'tidy up my room' session.
11. I failed to do a December Manga of the Month :(

Now lets get to details.

1.I studied really hard for a 'timed essay' (exam) which was on the pathology of Parkinson's disease, well that's what the organiser's old us, and they are liars. It wasn't on the pathology, it was on staging of pathology, and the stupid lecturer was the 'famous brave one' to stand up to the father of Parkinson's Disease (Braak) and say his staging was crap. so what does he do? he sets the bloody exam on his favourite paper all about how braak was wrong and his tests were done badly. and what do the students do? They study on PD pathology.. why? because that's what we were told to do!!!! GAAAAAAAAAAAAH! All in all, I didn't do very well. At all.

2. The surprise birthday party was a very rare time where my birthday actually got celebrated, and it was also rare because I was happy. I had gold and silver candles on my chocolate cake, with plastic wine glasses and Mr. Kipling angel slices :D there was also dancing, provided by our very own Mr. Fullah and Mr. Kon, it was a wonderful spectacle to see as they were both in unison despite their height differences. Then came the singing... oh dear, I think I was little over exuberant now that the cake and fizzy drinks are out my system, and I whole heartedly regret my actions.. I think I should swear an oath never to sing again. There were presents! can you believe that! I got presents! i usually get presents but their usually from my sisters and something mad from my mum, and that's about it. but for once I actually got presents! It was wonderful! I got scrabble (a brave attempt to correct my spelling habit) and a graphic novel that I finished reading the next day, in addition to some extremely bright gloves, a cute little jewellery box and a newspaper for my grandmother who rejected the idea of reading, unfortunately.

3. I love carrot cakes, and I baked one for my neuroscience peeps, and I just feel like I'm usually left out when we're all sitting together, like I have to fight to say something, maybe it's just my psychotic allergy to being silent , maybe it's my attention seeking personality that dislikes it so, or maybe it's my paranoid self that just feels that everyone doesn't give a damn. I still have a long way to go in terms of socialising peacefully, I can't seem to get it right.

4. Films I watched this holiday (which I shouldn't have done) were District 13 (the main character is much more cooler than my hero- Josh Hartnett, and that's saying something), The holiday (one of the best chick flicks I've watched, and I don't usually like chick flicks). Tim Burton's the Corpse Bride (even though i have the DVD, it's still a really good film). Happy Feet (the story only started happening half way through the film, it does not deserve the high rating it has obtained). Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3 (I am now addicted to the Caribbean accent and hope to convert mine to it), I think that's all I watched... lets see what happens next year.

5. Stressing out about my career has also happened again, (it's a yearly thing), I think I just hate not knowing what's going to happen to me, it feels dark, and I don't like that. Unlike last year, I am actually doing applications so we'll see how that goes, though, I never have much confidence, as usual.

6. Miss. Short fuse got very very angry because of me recently and said some rather harsh things, the worst part of it was, that what she said was true. It wasn't just gibberish that you don't mean when people are angry, it was actually meaningful, loaded words. I became hard and cold from her words, refusing to believe their full intensity, giving myself the excuse that she was angry and hence didn't know what she was saying. But she was right. When she had calmed down, we sat down and she spoke less harshly, but on topics that were strongly related to what she had previously said, that made me cry. Her steady voice telling me things I didn't want to hear but always knew. She concluded that I just missed some very valuable life lessons some where along the line and there's not much I can do about that now.

7. I drew a calligraphy and I just want to show it off because I quite like it, even though there are plenty of mistakes in it.
I also drew a card for a neuroscience peep that took ageeees, so here it is for those who are interested:
8. The price for a zone 1 single is now 1.80! next year they'll make it 3 pounds! what is happening to the world! don't you know students can't keep dishing out money to get to places! is their secret intention to stop us travelling or something? I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

9. I went to a pathology museum, did you know, that pathology museum's are awesome! I can't see why anyone would get scared of it, I mean, sure there were a few feet and a black arm, but that was really only scary stuff. In the street, Miss. Short fuse, miss Hepburn and I played charades to pass the time, and Miss. Short Fuse got a little carried away, resulting in some dirty looks for onlookers... Miss. Hepburn's am was to make me understand what she was getting at, and sure enough I knew none of the films, she was acting out, I did do a 'happy feet' one, but they got it within 2 seconds.

10. My room is now clean, I finally have a chest of drawers so I won't have to fathom through my endless piles of folded clothes. The desk, once ridden with empty bottles, highlighters, candles and brochures, is now slightly empty.

11. I didn't do a manga of the month :( I haven't really read much manga in the past month, studies have finally taken priority, but I did start a few good ones and I'll chat about them later. The Saima story will also be written shortly.... or when I have time.

If you're interested in my life... read on.

It's been so hectic since the last time I posted, there's just been too much happening that I think I'll make one of my 'numbered' posts. Here goes:

1. Miss, Hepburn and I spent a wondrous day scanning graduate opportunities at a careers fair, we went to presentations and workshops, in addition to being given candy floss and harassment by 'Royal Mail', I even spoke to employers in Arabic! By the end, it looked like we went shopping with our numerous bags laden with brochures and free umbrellas. We decided to eat out as it was late in the afternoon and we were both hungry. I found an Iranian restaurant and pointed to it, regretting it later when Miss. Hepburn said I had inadvertently pointed to two people making out instead.

2. I've had my first lectures of the year, they were horrible, I say that word deliberately, I'll say it again! THEY WERE HORRIBLE! I couldn't understand a single thing! By the end I became dizzy from constant ignorance on my side. I hope I'll be able to understand them some day :(

3. I've made friends at uni, they are nice people, we played a mind/card game called maffia where I realised that I resort to shouting a lot.

4. I went to a Law firm presentation where I panicked by the amount of alcohol available and the number of people, they made me feel welcome though as someone started to immediately talk to me, rather than other law firms where they just blank you out. The presentation and video itself were amazing, I was truly impressed by simply everything. I really want to work for them :D

5. I've dossed a bit with Miss. Black, it's fun being around her, I feel at ease and comfortable, but I'm not going to act too affectionately like I did before, that wouldn't be the right decision.

6. There was something else that happened and I can't remember what it was.....

7. I went out with uni mates to pizza express where we exemplified the true spirit of students by ordering 4 glasses of tap water.

8. I gave a tour of the main Uni campus to Mr. Matta, I rather enjoyed it and became pretty proud of the glass buildings I was so used to walking around. We had to go through hell trying to get his ID card done, we managed to do it but he had to unfortunately wait for the card to be made later.

9. I went out with Miss. Hepburn and some other medic friends like Miss. Pink and Miss. Ongalong, as well as Mr. King Kon and Mr. Chandler. We ate food and talked for ages and gossiped a little, as well as stalking good-looking ppl on mobile facebook! It was a very warm, happy time for me :D

10. I embarrassed myself at a university workshop... urgh.

A Tribute to Miss. Hepburn

Miss. Hepburn and I have certainly had a distinct histroy of friendship, I think this history deserves a calling and appraisal.

I met her when I was 7, she was my first and only best friend. Though, I have to admit, she was a litte bossy, she taught me how to tie my shoe laces and subsequently made me tie her own all the time.

The blissful times only lasted for a year; she ditched me for another girl and I was alone, again. Ofcourse, 10 years later we were friends again once the childishness of our past had dissipated, she has been with me ever since, pointing out my typos, calling me a serial killer of all jokes and telling me I'm not fat. She has never failed to support me.

We have our differences, but they've never obstructed our friendship. There is a unbalance in the amount of affection displayed between us, but that's just the way we are.

Miss. Hepburn is the hottest thing that walks the planet :P
