Exams are over tomorrow....Oh wait.....

Do you remember how in my last post, I was saying how I had exams in less than a week and that I was looking forward to them being over in 3 weeks? Well it's been nearly 3 weeks since that post, and I haven't done a single exam. How comes, you may be thinking? Did she just bunk and not go to them?
Nope. My appendix decided it was the right time to become inflamed and be on the verge of exploding. And so they had to remove my appendix 3 days before my first exam. Not the best timing in the world. To make things worse, the pain killers they gave me were so strong, that I was awake for like 4 hours a day, long enough to eat a meal, take the medication (it was tramadol for those of you wondering) and then sleep til the next meal time. Not exactly in the right frame of mind to be doing any work at all, especially since I could barely sit upright without being in pain :( I don't know if I have a ridiculously low pain threshold (I don't think so!) or if it's just taking ages to heal, but it's been exactly 2 weeks since I've been out of hospital, and I still feel pretty rough.
I went to the GP last week and they gave me another painkiller, that doesn't really help with the pain and still makes me drowsy, so I don't see the point in taking them.
I'm so fed up that I haven't done my exams. I know that there are soo many people that say "but you're so lucky, you have longer to revise". No, because now I have to spend the whole summer waiting for the exams, whereas you can just have fun. And that's if the university lets me retake them in the summer, uncapped. I'm still waiting to hear back from them, and I'm pretty nervous, even though considering the fact that I was in hospital for 4 days before the first exam and had to have surgery, I feel like I definitely qualify for mitigating circumstances. I mean, in the letter it says they'll normally accept medical problems that could not be foreseen and requires hospitalisation. So I should qualify right? The appendix is the  most useless thing in our body and can just decide to go pop whenever it wants. It's hardly my fault. Argh, this waiting is driving me insane.
There's a Facebook group for our course and I actually read a post where someone was asking another student to run them over/beat them up so that they could qualify for mitigating circumstances. I am certain they were joking, but I'd just like to point out that it doesn't seem that easy to get them to accept the cases.
Well my last exam would've been tomorrow and I would've had a huge drink up to celebrate and gone out and had fun, but instead I'm back at my parent's house, sleeping most of the day and waiting to hear back from my university.
I'm drafting the post about the trip away. That should be up in the next few days hopefully :) I'm also planning to do a couple posts about Tamil things that are just fucking weird. Two words: puberty ceremonies. "huh, what?" you're obviously not Tamil if you've not come across this phenomenon. All shall be explained very soon!
I hope you all are having betters days than I am, and for those of you doing exams, hope it went well :)

Bye for now xx

So...I have exams in a little over a week

I know I said I'd do a post on our little holiday to France, but truth is, I'm going to need a long time to write that post.. many things happened on that trip, that I just don't have the time to recount it all in the hilariousness it deserves. But I will post it, at some point :)
So back to now. I have my first exam next Thursday. And I am nowhere near ready! CRAP! I feel like I do this every single year! I leave everything to the last minute, and then panic and have many sleepless nights cramming whole textbooks.
For those of you that don't know me personally (hi!), I was on a placement last summer at the Anna Freud Centre, and therefore was out of full time education for the longest period (8months) since....well, since I was 4! Whilst I was on my placement, I quite missed the routine of school/uni and thought that when I started in January, I'd keep on top of all my work, and I'd be uber-prepared come exam season.
But lo and behold, I'm not! I didn't even attempt to keep on top of all my reading! *sigh* For those doing or considering doing a reading heavy subject like Psychology, a word of advice: listen to the lecturers and actually do the reading when its set! I have to say though, I love reading, I can devour whole books in a couple of days and start another straight after. But unfortunately psychology text books aren't exactly what you'd call light reading.
It's ok though. I'm used to this last minute rush. Yes, I'll feel like quitting. Yes, I'll be on the verge of madness. And I may even break down and cry a little. But in just over 3 weeks, it'll be over. And I just need to find the motivation to keep going until then. So hey, if any of you lovely people have any motivational advice, or just something to stop me from going insane, please leave a comment or send me a message, I'd love to hear from you :) And feel free to tell me what you think of the blog so far :)
Well that's it for now. I'm going to go back and continue revising face recognition, which is actually quite interesting. Another question, would you like me to post psychology related things too? I recently stumbled upon a blog by a fellow psychology student called Pavlovscouch. I found it very interesting and laugh out loud funny! Head over and have a look! (By the way, this person and I have never spoken to each other, I've seen him in lectures, therefore that was a completely unbiased recommendation, I only found out about the blog on the psychology revision page on fb..which I should probably get back to now!)
Bye for now xx

Pre-ferry banter

So even before we've left this conversation happened.
Brother had just worked out how far Lourdes was (a ten hour drive from Calais).
Bro: mum!! Why are we going there again? It's so far away!
Uncle: whats she supposed to with a child like you?
Bro: urm, what you tryna insinuate? Have you seen your son?

This just made me laugh! Obviously the uncle and son in question was Ray and Darren. Let the fun begin!

Xx

We are going on a summer holiday....ok not quite!

Hey world, it's been a while.
Mostly because I've been busy with uni stuff, I.e not going to lectures, not doing much work and idling time away watching way too many movies on Netflix! I kept meaning to but just kept putting it off.
That, however, does not mean that I have not had rants to rant about. I have. Way too many than I'd like to admit but I just haven't posted about them for some unknown reason.
Anyway, getting back to today. As I'm writing this, I'm sitting in a minibus with 14 other Tamils!! On my way to France! So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to kickstart my blog with many Tamil related stories :)
I've just realised I probably won't be able to post the blogs when I'm actually in France but I'll save them and do a mass post when I'm back in England :)
Hope you all have a good Easter weekend xx

hello people of the blogging world!
yes, I am still alive, I just haven't been upto enough to blog about :(
You'd be happy to know that I did infact finish my coursework on time. At 3am on the day it was due in.... but hey atleast its done now.
ok, i've just realised that I do have a rant that I should tell you about, but i'm typing this on a tablet and it's too fiddly to do capital letters and apostrophes, hence the reason why its a bit messed up. So i shall continue this on my laptop in a bit.
bye for now people :)

Yo dudes and dudettes

Yo people!
So I'm pretty drunk right now. And my good friend Mary is here too! (She's just as pissed.)
So we want to talk about fucking tamils and how annoying they are.
We were saying how all tamils should get really drunk atleast once in their lives and share their true feelings with each other. For example, remember that cousin I was telling you about, the one that should get a divorce? This is probably how the guy's conversation would go:

"You are fucking annoying. And you have the personality of a doorknob. Actually. you know what? That's being offensive to a doorknob, that has more of a personality than you do. You're fucking ugly and retarded. I don't normally judge by looks but seeing as you have nothing else to go by, I have no choice. And by the way, I am well glad we have no kids together, I wouldn't want to spread your genes even if someone paid me, you fucked up piece of shit". 

Wouldn't the world be so much better if everyone was honest about how they felt?  I definitely think it would be :)

And here's Mary's view on life at this precise moment in time:

"I love being drunk and not being so tamil. And I hate tamils that tell me I'm fat so that they make me feel uncomfortable in my own skin including my own family and friends. I fucking hate people with an attitude, regardless of race. Noone owes you anything in life, you have to earn it. Don't act like you have to be treated better than other people just because you're another race. That's it at the moment."

So, there you have my first drunken post. Oh just remembered something from Mary's bit: If I don't like you, it has nothing to with your race, it's about your fucked up attitude. So i'm not being racist. I'm being attitudist. (Thats not a word, but fuck it!) I'm quite impressed with my spelling when drunk :)

Bye for now xx

 

Arghhh!

As you can probably tell from the title, I'm a bit pissed off. Actually more than a bit pissed off. And I'm mostly pissed off with myself!
As I've mentioned before, I have these essays that I need to write for uni, and I can't do them!! Before you think that I'm some retard that managed to get into uni but can't write essays, no, I do know how to write an essay, that's not the problem here
The main problem here is that I have complete freedom as to what I write about. And I'm a pretty indecisive person. so this sucks for me. I have started about 3 different essays, gotten into it, and then discarded it as I find something else I'd rather write about. ARGH!! It was bad enough when I had to pick between 3 or 4 essay titles last year, and now I have to come up with the whole damn essay question?! WHY!?!
I was aiming to get it done by the end of tomorrow, wait, I've just realised it's past midnight, so the end of today, and I highly doubt that's going to happen. And this is making me feel like shit.
I don't think I'll get anything done today. *sigh* It's depressing but fuck it. I can't be bothered. Right now. I will obviously get it done soon. Hopefully before I start uni on the 9th :(
Look at what Jazz is doing whilst I attempt to work:

aww, isn't she cute?

Just to add to my annoyance, my uncle has decided he wants to come and stay over today. That's fine with me. But why the fuck do you ask me a million questions a minute?? When am I going to lock the back door? Why isn't my brother eating? Is that water or pee on the floor (it was water, and even if it wasn't it was jazz, not me!)? Who was that on the phone? Shall I turn the lights off? Who was that on the phone- yes, again, because my mum called back again, and I had to explain everything she said!! It's my mum, I think we should be allowed to have a conversation without you having to know about it. Nosey prick! 

So. Anyway. I'm going to bed. And hope that I get some inspiration for my essay. (Highly doubt it, but you can dream- pahaha, that just made me smile. Sleep, dream, get it? no, you're obviously not in the same state of mind as I am. Try attempting to write an essay for 4 hours, failing and then read it, it'll be funny).

And if you want someone funny to watch, go watch Shane Dawson on YouTube. I find him pretty damn funny.

Night all xx
