ALMOST DONE, yet not really +MEME
I HAVE FINISHED MY LAST EXAM TODAY AND IF I END UP PASSING THAT AND BOTH OF THE PREVIOUS TWO I WROTE LAST WEEK, THAT WILL MEAN THAT I HAVE COMPLETED MY LAST EXAM FOR MY MAJOR!!
It was a horrible and dreadful exam though, and our mental state could have been best summed up by this pic:
TRU FAX.
EVA (Communication method quality evaluation), is quite possibly the most utterly horrendous exam I have ever had the misfortune to frantically practice for. The sheer amount that we are supposed to rattle off in the exam is unbelievable, or at least just really extremely cruel if one compares it to the level of uh, ALL THE OTHER EXAMS you take here. 60 minutes are all you get to fill out 20 extensive true/false questions (with minus points for wrong answers!!), two fill-in-the-blank texts that weren't even proofread correctly and had very confusing bits with fiddly grammar that made everything worse, a shoddily constructed three tier table to fill in (I was so stumped for that and just drew a doodle of a pig in one segment lolol) AND two extended essay questions. And before we even start, the draconian prof starts this really brusque spiel on how we're all sitting wrong in the Audimax, how we shouldn't even DARE to look at our neighbor's paper because they will swoop down and take it away AND WE WILL FAIL!!!1 AND FACE SANCTIONS!!!1 and then she spent the entire exam stalking up and down the aisles like some demented officer, snapping out how many minutes we had left to complete everything. GAAAAAAAAAH SO MUCH HATE.
And now for something else that will make me type a lot! A 5 questions meme from sirdrakesheir~ Just comment if you guys want me to attempt to formulate some half decent questions for you too, eh?
1) So what are you going to miss the most about *~*uni life*~*? What aren't you going to miss?
No question about it, I will miss living a scant few meters away from Carmen the most. The free and thus extensive and random conversations on our in-dorm phones! Hanging out all the time, the food outings and uh, THE TRAVELING AROUND EUROPE TOGETHER! I HAVE FOUND MY HETEROSEXUAL LIFEMATE and it is a pretty damn awesome thing ♥ Hmmm, and other than that I will miss getting to do things at my own pace, cooking for myself, just having my own schedule and being able to do things like randomly walk around Vienna, which is actually one of the most loveliest cities to just take a stroll in. I never get tired of wandering around the First District, there are always nooks and crannies to discover anew! I will miss hanging out with my other friends too, and meeting all the different people who come over your path in the forced confines of uni groups, even if one at first wants to commit unspeakable crimes to a few of the more idiotic/douchebag ones.
WHAT I WON'T MISS HOWEVER IS UH, EVERYTHING THAT ACTUALLY HAS TO DO WITH STUDYING lololol. It's so sad when I admit this to myself, but somewhere along the transition from graduating high school to getting settled in uni, I've become really disillusioned with academia? Most of the things we learn have been alright, but the moment we have to do something that hits upon the theoretical aspects of Mass Media and Communications, AKA. MY MAJOR, my brain just refuses to engage. And god forbid it involves empirical research. It just all seems so pointless in the long run for me since I have absolutely no intention to ever go into research-- I basically only wanted to go to uni so that I'd get a skill-set or at least a degree that will enable me to get the best job possible in my chosen field. And since I didn't apply for art school, this was my only other option to get into advertising. Nothing more than that. I just want to do something practical and earn my own money already, god.
2 )SO WHAT THE FUCK IS MEDIA QUALITY EVALUATION METHODS
EVIL. KILL IT WITH FIREEEEEEEEEE. But ahem, that residual rage at the exam aside-- at its core, it is actually pretty interesting! It describes all the different methods you can use to evaluate the results/success of a particular communication method/program to your target audience, be it in the areas of PR, advertising or Public Affairs (and of course there are extensive explanations of all these three things, too). It also is centered around what precisely IS "quality", how one would go around defining it and a bevy of explanations and theoretical models for each aspect of it. Quality and journalism is also a pretty large topic that is focused on, how it is something constantly in flux, what the trends of the past few years are, and of course MOAR THEORIES on how things will develop in the future. I learned a lot about it that will probably help me in the future, but I hella resent having to force my brain through a wringer because the damn prof is a sadistic exam writer :/ IF ONLY I HADN'T DELETED THE EVA UNI EVALUATION FORM I could have now written this epic letter of complaint lolol Carmen will be doing that on my behalf I guesss XD
3) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SWEAR WORD?
I am very fond of good old "FUCK", with some occasional "(HOLY) SHIT"s thrown in, and garnished with some choice German variants of "VERDAMMTE SCHEIßE EY, DIESE VERFICKTEN HURENWICHSER (fucking shit ey these damn fucker whorewankers)" for added ~*class*~. I've been trying to spice things up a bit though, and have kind of gained the bad? habit of just smooshing normal innocent or nonsensical together with swears. HOLY FUCKSICLES, BATMAN! FUCKEROLA, ASSTASTIC, SHITACULAR, FUCKSTICKS, WHAT IS THIS FUCKSHITTERY, SHITTYFUCK SHITFUCK and etc. Also I keep flinging out "assig (shitty/crappy)" and "Fotze (cunt)" far too often in my random German diatribes. Whoops!
4) IF YOU WERE A DISNEY PRINCESS WHICH ONE WOULD YOU BE AND WHY?
HMMMMMMMMM. Realistically, I would probably love to be Sleeping Beauty, because I could FINALLY catch up on all my sleep and magically not be a lump full of bed-sores and other gross things at the end of it. I know this is a total non-feminist answer, because SB uh, DOES NOTHING OF HER OWN VOLITION besides be a klutz and fall on the spindle, but whatever. Mulan would be cool just to learn how to use weapons, Belle is a no-go because I don't like hairy guys ;DD AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE ARIEL because I loved her as a kid, but the thought of the DEEP BLUE OPEN SEA makes me extremely nervous. I like the beach! I love watching ocean programs on Discovery Channel! But you will never catch me snorkeling or diving EVERRR, because the thought of being underwater with all that wide open space around you is extremely, extremely unsettling to me. DDDD:
5) Five fave musicians [bands, etc.], fave song(s) by each.
For shits and giggles, HERE ARE SOME NOSTALGIC HITS because I am all about repeating myself over and over again :Db
Lily Chou Chou- "Tobenai Tsubasa"
...BRB BAWWWING FOREVER oh my god this damn movie ;___;
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club- "Love Burns"
...I still love BRMC, but I think their first album was totally their best. RED EYES AND TEARS is also A++
Asian Kung-Fu Generation- "Last Scene"
...I just love Ajikan so much, their music will always remind me of the fun bits of my last two years of high school, and afternoons spent on the bus +taxi on the long way home.
David Usher- "Black Black Heart"
...OH MY GOD I WAS OBSESSED WITH THIS DAMN SONG XDD Shame that the rest of his album was basically crap, or at least I just can't remember anything about his other songs lol.
Steso Songs- "The Worse"
...so this is not as far back as high school, but seeing this chick perform live in a club in Stockholm last year was pretty much one of the MANY highlights of the time we spent there, ergo my love for this song ♥
