Does anyone have study music suggestions? XD

Ares revisited
SCANLATIONS FINALLY FINISHED.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you A Team. I've visited their website so many times (follow quite a bit of their other series too) that it's the first on the dropdown when I type "i" xD
Original thoughts and other info about the manga is back in this post, but I'm sure I've blabbed about it enough throughout the years. In case I haven't, it's amaaaaaaaaaazing! Most people get turned off by the art, but it gets cleaner as it progresses. The story's good up until Icarus leads the invasion to some island, then it just turns into the most awesome thing.
...spoilers below.
Climax would be the Mikael arc, mainly cause no one ever thought that Ares/Mikael/Baroona would get split up. You never split up the leading trio! T___T" The execution of it was beautiful though, I bet EVERYONE that read the conclusion to the arc was deeply moved, if you didn't you have no heart! T__T
Main three aside, Icarus is my favourite 2D guy <3 Soooo charismatic. I wish I was a tenth good of a leader as he is. Too bad he didn't make an appearance in the final volume, would have been perfect if he just financed the rebuilding of the temple mercenaries.
The general ending was great as well, all the important loose ends were all neatly tied up. My only 2 complains would be Kirus was kinda just there... and that the showdown with the Red Eye Swordsman could have been more epic.
But all is good cause:
Ares in a tuxedo lolololol. Ariadne looks so pretty in the LBD as well *u*
...
on second though, I think I should elaborate on why I like this series so much. Mainly boils down to two reasons:
1. All the characters have depth, even the ones that Ares fights and kills off in two chapters. You sympathize with the opponent, but at the same time you know he's gotta die. It's like being the judge of an argument between two people who can each only see one side of the coin. Go read the Mikael arc and you'll understand @_@"
2. War isn't glorified, in fact plenty of the bad and ugly is shown. It's not terribly depressing either, plenty of light heartedness is injected there and here. Again refer to the Mikael arc (it's a masterpieceeee) xD
haaaaaappy bubble~

garden hose world
It was sunny when I woke up.
Then it started to rain a few minutes later.
Then rain turned into snow. The kind of really fluffy snow that you hope to see on Christmas day.
Why is it snowing in aprrrrril "orz
Anyways, in the span of the weather changes, I've managed to finally cross off The Elegant Universe from my reading list. (clip of the author Brian Greene's appearance on Big Bang Theory! ;D) The analogies that he uses to explain the physics concepts sans math are actually really easy to understand, my favourite being the landlord of the warehouse basement and the quantification of energy. Though it gets significantly harder to understand once more dimensions are introduced @_@"
The extra 6-8 dimensions are curled up into spaces like this ;D The topology of these shapes, such as how it's folded and how many "holes" there are, determine the properties of the elementary particles.
Very fancy looking, no?

mysterious is caramel and coffee
Day out with Janice today, t'was an afternoon of munching on delicious (and equally expensive) treats at La Bamboche. Finally went again after walking past it every co-op day @_@"
The drinks menu, got a large tea in a pot, aka free refills! ^^
My yummies: White Pearl tea (green tea with peppermint and some flower bud) with salted caramel and green tea-mango macaroons.
Tea is the best drink ever. Eveeeeer. Unlike coffee, you can drink as much as you want without the terrible caffeine crash. When I get my own house, I'd like to display all my teas in pretty little glass jars, except that'll expose them to sunlight, which isn't good @_@" Would also like an automatic water broiler (like how fridges automatically keeps the water cold), except that would waste quite a bit of energy, sighhhh.
Janice got a yogurt and passion fruit cake and the mysterious flavoured macaroon.
Refer to title of the post XD
In the corner of the cafe, there's a fridge of the cafe's own preserves and juiced. Really wanted the bottle of pink grapefruit juice @_@"

analysis of motion
You guys didn't believe that I would actually do physics at Sean's, ha!
Ought to continue working on that. Ought to do plenty of other things, just running a bit low on motivation. Exams are soooooon, ought to get motivation back XD
Currently want to...figure out what I want atm. Feeling kinda lost haha, previous evenings has been lost to this wonder, dont think I've wandered very far from where ever.
Oh physics sub teacher was really annoying. He wanted us to place our bags at the back wall to prevent cheating. This girl (among others) asked if they can place it elsewhere along the perimeter of the room. Teacher started spazzing about how the class doesn't understand where the back wall is.
Don't know why he was being so anal about the specific location, any wall would serve the purpose of distancing the bag and the owner.
blaaaaah.

croissants and brie
I believe this is the most flattering shot of me in a long, long time.
Thank you so much Rui ;D
*moment of satisfaction*
why can't my hair look like that everyday T_T"
and back to reality, aka working on summatives.

11-2
ENGLISH PRESENTATION IS DONEEEEE. She liked it too, the second part totally saved us ;D
Good job guyyyys!
Moving on to main topic:
It's the second installment of the tri-annual report card post, yayyy e_e"
Average: 92.75%
Info tech: 95 (-2, this is business btw)
blah, dropped, ya know why? cause I messed up on the photoshop unit. I can't believe it -o- and the mess up is cause I didn't include a human on my poster! grrrrarararrrrr D<
English: 91 (+4)
So lucky that she liked my Macbeth stuff, so so lucky.
Co-op: 98 and 96 (+3 and +8)
Yay for easy marks course ;D Iuno why I got so low last term though... Less than 20 days left!
Math: 83 (+1)
makes me sad. very sad. very very sad. Not gonna get into engineering e_e" I can just imagine the people with a smile on their face and nodding, until they see my math mark. Then they just toss my application out the window.
Chem: 90 (+1)
I really should be able to get higher in chem, it's all applied math (which I seem to be much better at). My mistakes on the tests are all really silly as well @_@"
Physics: 96 (-2)
ALL CAUSE OF ONE QUIZ. GRRRRRRR. I still love physics though, Caruana is hilarious. Determined to do well on the cart, we can do this Rui&Ryan! ;D
Mech Tech: 93 (-7)
Oh Mr. Chada, whyyyyyy, whhhhhhyyyyyy do you give 95 as the maximum mark for dwgs? T___T" Honestly, what do you have against 100s!
Though technically speaking, 100 is reserved for the AMAZINGLY good, so rarely does anyone do good enough work to truely deserve it. The description for A+ does say "beyond the expected level". But the norm is usually that if nothing is missing from the requirement, then you deserve a perfect. Kinda like how before universities are only for those who want to further their education, but now it's a mandatory requirement for having a good job.
Interesting article regarding that subject: We're in an Higher Education Bubble.
And ugh, my mom's lecturing is a terribly unpleasant experience.
Can't quite pin it down to anything specific, disappointment probably has a big role, but ughhhhh. It's that unpleasant feeling in your stomach that just lingers with you e_e"
woah this is a long report cards post.
