Going through Monkey Majik's Best of Album, good stuffff. Thanks to Kenn for featuring them long long ago.



They sound so nice live *u*

Waiting for the day when I can have this on a wall:



Meanwhile, derive derive.

12-1t

First transmission marks, whoo!
/starts the painful anticipation for early acceptance.

English - 90 (yeah I dropped 6%, let's not talk about it)
Advance Functions - 98 (didn't drop, yeeeeeee!)
Chemistry - 96 (+5, I have no idea how I pulled this off, maybe second term marks are just worth more)
Physics - 94 (+2, thank you Mr. M, I am forever grateful)
Earth and Space - 100 (+1, ahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa oh mannnn)
----------------------------
Top 5 average: 95.6% (Y)

Architectual design: 93 (oh well, doesn't matter. Plus the max possible mark is pretty much 95)

and looks like the god of delivery heard my prayers ;D
(forgive the bad lighting)






The text is a weee bit too close to the edge, but that's completely my fault.
I feel so pro now 8D

Today's a goooood day.

Look what came in the mail today! ;D


This provided much needed relieve from the whole bunch of work this week. Or rather, the physics lab and looming calculus test and chem lab.
(mini rant)
Sighhh, error analysis in physics is both fun and sooo frustrating at the same time. Great that I'll be doing loads of these in university. Anyways, I can't seem to think properly for this lab. Made very elementary mistakes in the first draft and just really confused myself (and others) from there on. But alas, it is near completion (and hopefully correct too)!
I really ought to get my teachers at least a thank-you note at the end of the year for putting up with me haha.

But back to the cellophane wrapped package of joy.

Moo mails a free sample of their products to anyone and anywhere (free shipping too!). The contents are as follows:



Postcards: these feel really, really nice. The only other item that outshines the postcards in paper quality are the Luxe cards. If I had a larger budget, I'd print photos on these (free double sided and printfinity, Moo's specialty that allows you to have a different image for each piece) and hang them on clothlines *u*

Minicards: I actually ordered 50 of these as personal business cards. Though they are quite small, half the height of a standard business card but less than the width. The paper, as with every item, is excellent.

Business cards: The ones printed on standard paper are slightly more rigid than the ones on 'green' paper, probably because they are laminated (matte finish).

Luxe cards: Really, really, really nice. A richer/fancier me would totally get these.


^not that great quality of a photo, watch the official video instead:



*eagerly waiting for the arrival of my minicards*

Interesting concept from theburninghouse:

If your house was burning, what would you take with you? It's a conflict between what's practical, valuable and sentimental. What you would take reflects your interests, background and priorities. Think of it as an interview condensed into one question. 

My answer:


List:

• Blanket (had this since grade 1 in America)
• Macbook (photos and Honey & Clover)
• Watch
• Keychain (useless to have keys to a burnt down house, but clover keychain!)
• Clover necklace
• Gritaly sketchbook (keeping this forever)
• Past diaries 
• The God Particle by Leon Lederman (what introduced the joy of physics to me)
• iPhone
• Pens: Sakura Micron, Pentel Graph 600, Lamy Safari. 
• Moleskine notebooks
• Past sketchbook
• Correspondents & cards from friends (read through them this afternoon, you guys are the best :])
• Trevi fountain print 
• Scarf (thank you Janice!)
• Stuffed rabbit (had this ever since I can remember)
• Fossil messenger bag (carried me my stuff through Gritaly and Shad)

Not pictured are my oxfords, those will be on my feet as I escape.

A large amount of sentimentality I decided to bring with me haha.

Just finished watching this. It's a visual feast.
(I also found the Nezumi and Kimura subplot to be very touching.)

Such a better use of time than doing chem. If I mess up the test I'll just rewatch the movie to feel better. Though scholarship money is on the line, hmmm, if I have a 95 average by final term I'll buy myself the artbook (along with a shinkai one *u*).

Work hard~~

ending theme:

the background art!! *u*

Q is for heat

Sulking sucks.
Being angry is because someone else wronged, sulking is because it's my own fault. Ughhh.

Mood progression today went from normal in the morning, to state of rationalizing/denial in the afternoon, to unreasonable* sadness until dinner, and now into a very productive** mix of work and internet distraction.

*unreasonable because although English mark dropped 6%, my top 5 is still 95 on the dot. Goal is still maintained, so I should be grateful.
**productive as I'm currently wee bit ahead of today's schedule. Let's finish those chem notes >D

My method of coping through distraction is not good.
