(no subject)
Oh, people, people, people....Studying is a bitch. Exam time reminds me why I hardly ever do it, lol. But, if I put in more effort through the semester and actually gave a shit, perhaps it wouldn't be so hard now. I always say it's going to be different every semester -- and every year when I was still at school -- but it never changes. I should probably just stop saying it.
Urgh. Not looking forward to these exams...Even though there are only two of them, lol. The Shakespeare one will probably be alright, but Phonology not so much. I'm going to stop talking about it because I know I've talked about it a lot lately, but it's just on my mind.
Went to the zoo yesterday with my mum and brother. It was fun :) Hot, but fun. We saw a seal show and I've decided that, now we live in a place with a tub, I want a seal. Not a leopard seal, though, those ones are scary and eat penguins. I also wouldn't mind a giraffe...Not that there's any place to put it, of course. We stood in front of the giraffes for ages just talking about what we think they'd feel like. I mean, they look velvety or kind of like suede...Do they have hair or fur? Is their mane bristly or soft? It was a stupidly involved conversation, lol. We saw the new tiger cubs (very cute and fuzzy), the otters (a favourite), and the meerkats (also a favourite). It was so hot that most of the meerkats (most of the animals, actually) were hiding away inside a log, but since one of them always stands watch to guard the...troop? family? team? pack?...there was this lone meerkat who was initially standing upright on a rock, as they do, but he clearly decided that there was no danger and flopped over onto the ground and spread himself out like a dog on a tiled floor. Very cute. The meerkats also sparked another "I wonder what they feel like" conversation. We decided kind of soft, but mostly bristly. If anyone has some definitive answers regarding these questions, feel free to shed some light.
Seven days until I'm back at home. I'm actually not really looking forward to it, which is kind of weird. I don't know, I guess I just like being on my own more than living at home. It's quieter, everything is done the way I want it to be done, there's no one in my space...That's probably the biggest issue. Before we moved, we had two TV rooms, so everyone could do and watch whatever they wanted, you know? And there was plenty of space. In the house we live in now, there's the main living/dining room and a spare bedroom that's kind of set up as a gaming/TV room, but there's not enough space in there. I just always feel cramped there, you know? And I'd spend more time in my room, but it's so much smaller than my old room and doesn't have any TV reception. Issues. Anyway, I'll be sad to leave. It's been eventful, lol.
Anyways. The studying continues tomorrow...Had enough for today. It's Sunday evening, lol, enough is enough. I'm just hanging out for the 16th...Last exam. Free for a few months. Hurry up!!
