Psych essays seem to be taking me longer and longer to do. Hmm. Just finished talking about multidimensional approach to OCD. Now must do references.

sleep? what's that? being up for the whole night. I can't do the whole nighter thing anymore. I feel very sick.

I hate my abnormal psych essay. ir just isn't doing what i want it to do. bottom line; it isn't making any sense. i have a feeling when i'm more coherent i'll be scrapping this and starting again. Fuck. Need sleep.

have heard of FF7 movie news, have heard of SuikoIV news. While happy I have feelings of reservation for both (you have no idea how long it took to type up the last sentence). they might be good, or they might dash my hope like there's no tomorrow.

And i agree with amei, the wild card character has got to be Ted. We never found out how the Souleater rune was lost anyway. Also, I know there's like 20 something runes but can we not have a game about all of them. I sort of want to know what happened to all the other immortal rune carriers in the past three gmes. Well, I really only care about the first game, but still.

anyways, off to sleep.

I have finally finished the ESSAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

happiness.

now i shall go and become unconscious to the world.

one down, two more 3000 words essays to go. less than a month to do both.

yeah.

Dear God existentialistic all-powerful omnipotent being. I am writing to you in regard to a favour. And I do think you should grant it to me as I have been really nice this year. I did -not- stab anyone with a serrated blade. Repeatedly. Or take an axe to their head. Even when they really deserve it. I'm not asking for much. Honest.

Since I have been such a wonderful example of a good, honest, little girl. Could you please demolish the psychology department, oh say, in the next 24 hours. I'm not picky, meteors from the sky, lightning bolts, freakish flood. I don't care. Anything will do, as long as you can get rid of the department. I promise I won't ever ask for anything ever again.

Yours sincerely,
naanima

How's my psych essay?

Peachy.

Really.

Fuck off.

So, have anyone ever wrote a paper on why people use alternative therapy even when there's no empirical evidence? With the addition of explaining this phenomenon by using social psychology theories.

I'm so screwed.

can't think straight. 4 hours of psych reading. information overload. nothing is making any sense. have urge to apply everything i've just read to yoh and hao. stupid brain. want to collapse and sleep. must go to yoga first.

think the stress is kicking in. mid term next friday. major assessment for social psych due 15th sept. think i should live at uni.

Writing a critique of a psychology article due before 9am tomorrow. Having much fun and happiness (all sarcasm meant). Actually, the critique is sounding much better than I expected.

Before anything else, I've seen the Die en Grey live dvd. Kyo is God. Toshiya is a goof ball. Die is gorgeous and cool. Kaoru is a deceptive and cool. Shinya is a girl. I must see them live. Thank you eirivan!!! (and I've got the pics and urls as well ^__^)

Now to RL; feeling stressed and physically ill. Perpetual headache have appeared, back pains have started and stomach is really upset that I want to throw up.

I'm behind on lecture reading (this is only the second week of Uni) and research for the three 3000 words assessment due in September and October is not going anywhere. Resources for the essays is on loan and already booked till the end of October when the assessments have already finished. Have one psych assessment due in two weeks time. It's a critique of a journal article which should be fairly easy. 'Should' being the operative word.

On the up side I actually know what the fuck is being taught in the lectures.

Found out today that more than 50% of students failed Psych 201, which was a bit of a surprise. Psych 201 and 202 is known for being hard, but damn over 50% of the students. Considering there's ~500 psych students, that's truly impressive. What stunned me more was the fact that the results for 201 students were bi-modal! Since I know for a fact that the psych units haven't changed at all I'm left a bit curious. Just how the hell did that many people manage to fail? It's hard, but it has always been hard.

I'm quite happy that I passed when I took 201 (okay, downright gleeful), but I'm also slightly scared. If the psych units haven't changed at all (I know it haven't, hell they are still using the same bloody notes from 2001, the year I took the unit), and they have the same lecturers then, well, then obviously there's somethign wrong with the way the students are going about studying for psych.

Exams tomorrow.

Criminal Law at 9am.
Neuro. Psych. at 2pm.

Both are two hours long.

Stress is slowly crawling back.

I have not being this stressed since, since... well, I can't remember a time when I was this stressed. Hell, when I did my TEE's I was calm and rational. Now, I want to slam my head against the wall so I can get out of doing this exam.

*sigh*

Currently checking out criteria for doing a supplementary exam for Neuro psych. I just want to pass. I'm so tired of this unit. Can't wait till Friday. Sleep, how I love thee.

... two to go.

Next; gotta study fot psych. I really -hate- neuro psych.

I think I've spent more time online in the past few weeks than I have in a very long time.

Need sleep.

Will now go and do psych study.

NEED to study. MUST pass. Failure will be met with firing squad.

No sympathy.

So yeah, finally had my minor breakdown yesterday (thanks Great Rando ^^). Now, I'm actually feeling slightly better (although still highly stresses). Go me. Will study today, will study muchly, or I'm gonna fail many units, and I can't afford to fail any of my units. I can't.

Two messages for RL people: baka_neko and nekomancy, both of you should be happy. I haven't finished the game yet (I did get another level done), and my friend said I can keep it for quite a bit. So, how about sometime after the exams, we get together and finish the game?

Mssg number 2. Okies, apparently my dad added someone onto my MSN account yesterday. So, the q is who? I can check, but I'm not allowing myself on the net while at home until I finish studying for one of my exams. So, who was it?

Before report; 'quixotic'... naanima: Look MA. I LEARNT a NEW word ^___^

Exhibit A:

Subjects: 2 (two) sleepy nekos. (Inclusive of writer; nekomancy and me).

Occurence: fell foul to the victimization of gaseous substances.

Environment: within 1 (one) cubical room (Carrel No. 11, Business Library, 3rd Flr, Reid Library). Room temperature was decidedly above 24 degrees celcius.

Gaseous substances generally identified through descriptions by said nekos to be composed:

1. Smell of previous occupant of said carrel (1 male of the species: homosapien). Note: Initial contact established observation that the male was asleep.

2. Spilt nail enamel within ADIDAS bag of 1 (one) of the said nekos.

Result:

Nekos suffered from delusions of grandeur and experienced a decided drop in active/operable IQ inhabited brain-cells.

Further studies of conversation between neko1 & neko2 indicated degeneration of humour. However, heightened perceptions of humour were detected. In layman's terms, everything was funny! Example comments:

Example 1:
Neko-naanima: "The Care Bears were violated!!!"
Neko-neko: "What does gay Care Bears have to do with the Financial Services Reform Act?!?!"
Neko-naanima: "I don't know, it just came to mind. Although I'm sure it has something to do with underage prostitution."
*passer-by looks in nekos' direction... silently walks away... quickly; nekos turn to look @ each => BURSTS OUT LAUGHING; does not stop until Soc.Sc. Building*

Example 2 & 3: Joint effort... something cracked...
Neko+naanima: "Look at me, love me, huggle me. I am cute, underage and plushable!"

Neko+naanima: "Laptop condoms for all!!! Feel for yourself: It's easy to carry, plastic & bouncable!!!!!"

Recommendation:

Do try Carrel No. 11.

Hate psychology, hate face recognition, hate the fusiform gyrus, hate fMRI studies and will throw a fit if I see one more case study on patients suffering from prosopagnosia or other lesions to the brain. All I care about is that the essay is done, completed, over. Gee, and it only took me two full days of working on it (not counting the two weeks worth of research I put in).

And for an encore I can finally start on my criminology essay that's due next Monday, and spend approx 13 hours examining 6 minutes worth of speech attempting to detect pauses at a minimum of 250 msecs that's due by Friday. Of course I should really be more worried about tomorrow's tutorial preparation, and the 10 minutes presentation I'm suppose to be doing tomorrow afternoon for psychology. This would be much better if I've actually done any of the reading. I'm so screwed.

God damn it, all I want to do is sleep, and I can't manage that. I have had two hours of sleep (4 am to 6 am) and I'm damn fucking tired but I just can't fall asleep. GRR. Will now go and do some therepeutic paper shredding.

( mini-ranting )

*Takes breath* Feeling slightly better.

My essay is due tomorrow, 5pm. while I was typing up part of the essay yesterday;

naanima: *type*
computer: brrrrrbrrrrr
naanima: *type* *type*
computer: brrrr-whizzzz
naanima: *blinks*
computer: .........
naanima: ..........
computer: .........
naanima: *screams and throws fit*

*half an hour later*

dad: don't worry, it's probably one of the hard disk. Since we have two, we're fine.
naanima: *sighs with relief*
dad: of course, if it's the mother board, well, kiss everything goodbye.
naanima: *screams*
.................

And, this of couse happens two days before my essay is due. For the first time since year 12 (four years ago) I'm writing a bleeding essay with pen and paper. DAMN!!!

Currently three quarter through the essay. Wish me luck.

MWAHAHAHA, the three hours of self torture over Mcro was worth it, I actually understood what she said, YATTA! And she actually complimented me *sparkle* Yes, I'm easily pleased, so what? Anyways, gotta be off to do psych reading.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, I've MORE POT!!! ^____^ (I'm currently living off my nartual high, I'm expecting to fall to pieces sometime tonight ^^;;;)

I've finished! It's sparkly and clean, and I better get a HD for this or someone is going to be hurt. And yes, I'm trying to make this page as eye destroying as I can. Mwahahaha. Anyways, I'm off to sleep.
