Exams when school reopens in a week
This is brilliant; exams right after school's reopening, the best thing is, I can't help but stay away from work even at this important juncture, and I've been slacking the enitre term, so I have no idea hwat chemical energetics and differentitation are--I fell asleep during that lecture, which was very ill-advised, it's one of the tougher topics.
Hmm, this begs the question--what am I doing here?
It's been ages since I wrote anything here, it feels wierd. I shall tell stories about my mad mother; I'm supposed to be at home cramming, nobody disturbing me blah blah, and she drags my sister and I off to the temple where we are blasted by sound and fury: they chant a lot and they blow this horn that sounds like a giant fart. And the monks did this scary dance, if you have ever seen chinese lion dance picture the big head doll, only this time its a huge hydrocephalus head with a face like an old man, other big head dolls include a green skinned one with pointy ears and a perpetual scowl, and one that is brown, the latter two don't have any hair, and there were flat masks that look like aboriginie tribal dance things. Maybe this is silly of me, but it was fucking scary. The charcters just ran around pushing and shoving each other, this went on for about thirty minutes.
After the pantomime was over, we had to say prayers in tibetan, half the time I didn't really understand what was going on. No wait--all the time.
I would really rather not go for these things, but my mother has sufficently instilled a fear of God in me, so I go. I guess I shouldn't be saying all this right now lest God sees; I believe in my religion but no one has ever really explained to me what it's supposed to mean.
Oh and I like Tchaikovsky's piano concerto no.1 mov.1. as I've just discovered.
Here's a monty python impression; it's not really that funny after you've watched it a few times like I have, but on the first go it's good for a laugh.
