Exams are over and it is the end of the year. Discuss.

I am happy for a number of reasons.

1) I thought Kazaa was taking ages and ages to download stuff and I wouldn't be able to watch it for a long time, but then I found a Will and Grace, three episodes of Scrubs and, most excitingly, Monsters Inc all fully downloaded in a hidden folder! This may not sound exciting to any of you especially 1st years, you have DC++ on campus and super duper (I hate that expression) computers, but as Phil puts it, I've had an abacus for a computer, so I've never been able to download films. Until now, thanks to Phyllis, who has lent me a comparatively high-tech computer for a good while! Yay for Phil!

2) My friends are all lovely, lovely balls of loveliness. Not that I'm comparing you to testicles. You know what I mean xxxxxxx

3) Exams are over and it's the last week of term.

4) It's my birthday very soon!

5) It's girly Leamington night out tomorrow with Helen and Bev - we haven't done the Wetherspoon's cocktails/Gilbert+Joseph-watching/Mirage thing properly since term 1, and I've missed it. Although none of you will know what I'm talking about as I don't think said people read my blog.

6) Just visiting Xanana's has put me in a good mood. Not because there's a pretty barman, just because it's Xanana's and brings back good memories. And, more to the point, there's a pretty barman.

To conclude, today, Kylie is happy. Happy happy happy. Hurroo :-D

Knightmare returns...

...a virtual reality version is being made with Lord Fear and Treguard and everything! It's true, go see! (There are clips below the pictures on the left-hand side). I hope Pickle will be back. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'd better not go to the website - the upset caused by the realisation that you never got to watch this amazing and wondorous show may be too much to handle. Actually no, go and look at the clips of the original (I've added the link). Knightmare is good for your health.

I feel really guilty not working, even after my exams are finished. The thought that I should be doing something useful with my time is always at the back of my mind. It's very annoying. I think my poll has conclusively shown that Alex is too mean to me. I may send the results to Tony Blair and see if he can do anything about it.

Hurroo!!!

Happy happy joy joy happy happy joy joy no more exams!!!!!

The opposite of insomnia

I've just had one of those moments when you wake up from a nap and you think you're in a parallel universe or at least the next morning when it's actually 4:15pm and Richard and Judy's only an hour away. I find it entertaining how amazingly stupid I am when I've just woken up in the daytime sometimes. Why do I always feel overheated and thirsty after I have a nap? Anyway now I should be (hmm) fully awake for revision for Friday's (final!!!) exam - I hope to finish revising for the module by the Pride BBQ tomorrow so I can go to Bows guilt-free.

Oh yes by the way try to make it to the end of term meal and Bows next Thurs if you can, it's my birthday (& of course Alex's the next day) and it'd be nice to see everyone and you know you can't resist pizza. Incidentally I'm letting myself think quite a lot about non-exam-related things. It makes for a reasonably sane Kylie rather than the WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Kylie who's been making more of an appearance lately. My two exams went well today and I think I'll be able to repeat that if I revise properly today and tomorrow - this may even be the last, or more likely penultimate post in which I go on about exams! Hurrah!

I'm listening to a Corrs song in Spanish right now. Oh how I love Kazaa. xxx

Insomnia

Is it called insomnia at this time of day? I think it is, since I didn't get to bed till about 4 this morning, and I was woken by the sound of Rachel and Chris shouting about moving-out-related things at about 9:30 (i.e. because they're moving out) and I haven't been able to get to sleep since. They are still here. I feel unable to go and have a shower or get breakfast because Rachel's mum and brother are roaming around the house and I think they'd be disgusted that I've just got up. Damn them. Still, at least they're moving out! I will no longer have strangers occupying my house!

Exam-wise, 4 more to go, Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon - I plan to go to the library later on so I can begin to understand Endocrinology and maybe a bit of Cell Signalling. For the 1st time I can see a tiny pinprick of light at the end of the alpha helix I mean tunnel. 6 days to go! But then I'll only have a week in Leamington :-( I will miss it. I don't care what people say, the main part of Leamington (i.e. the Parade) is pretty and has a lovely atmosphere and makes me feel that little bit happier, what with the sunlight bouncing off the whiteness everywhere. Forget about the grotty end on the way to Brunswick Street, the nice parts are so much nicer than Coventry. Let's face it, Coventry has no nice parts. It is ugly as something so ugly that people fall over due to its intense ugliness. I know I've fallen over many a time while shopping in Coventry City Centre. I'll also miss seeing the Stagecoach buses when I'm coming back to Leam from home. I think it might be their colour I like. Having said that, it does have an H&M and a Lush. I'm considering getting a job in Lush next year - it would be the best job ever. Everyone go to Lush, it smells very very very very very nice and everything's all essential oil-y and sparkly and natural. Oh look at me I'm babbling now. I'll shut up. x x x

My favourite time of year...

I seem to remember saying, during my GCSEs, how much I enjoyed doing exams - I was a strange child. I think I failed this morning's two exams, so am going to have to ask my head of dept whether this will mean I've failed this year. I am very silly. FRIDAY AFTERNOON WEEK 9 if your exams finish before then, don't complain that you finish late. Unless you're a 1st year, in which case just don't let me know you finish earlier than me for the sake of my sanity. Three people on my MSN have changed their name to "AAARGH" or a variant of "AAARGH," and none of them know each other so it wasn't planned. How entertaining.

Birthday celebration update!
Harry Potter is looking likely, i.e. the film not as a birthday guest. Although it would be nice to have the real thing around on my birthday. I would quite like to properly analyse that scar of his, molecularly I mean, I find it hard to believe a scar with such properties really exists. Anyway, if you're coming it might be a good idea to resist temptation to see it before then. On the other hand, we might not go to see it at all. Oh the joys of having power over people's lives.

YAY YAY YAY I'm going to see Elton John on 28th June at the Birmingham NEC! (Thank you mother). Excitment excitement excitement.

OK time for shower/fabulous daytime TV/Clarinet Choir/other ways to postpone work. Until we meet again dear friends... x

Oh, bongo drums

Hello, my friends. I have done not nearly enough work but this is more important than that. I am in a very strange mood today - I have 2 weeks of solid exams that I haven't revised for coming up and yet I'm in a kind of a happy-yet-very-stressed mood. 'Tis tres bizarre. Kind of like the strange pleasure you get from putting your shoes on the wrong feet. Does anyone else get that or is it just me? I think it might just be me.

It is my mum's birthday today. I got her Angela's Ashes - the book, not the film. It's my dad's birthday tomorrow. I bought him the Penguin Concise English Dictionary, aren't I a good daughter? He will LOVE it. No I'm neither thoughtless nor extremely unimaginative, he asked for it. Not in the sense of "My dad annoys and provokes me so he deserves a dictionary for his birthday." I stole his a while ago and he needs a new one for crosswords. I reckon he's just going to look up random (not rude) words for fun like I used to do at school though, that's all anyone ever wants a dictionary for. Yay, it will be my birthday on 24th June, and Alex's on 25th June - I think we might be doing exciting stuff on my birthday (Thurs week 10) as a joint birthday thing, although we're not sure what yet. Everyone is invited! Yay! It's a long way off but it's one of the few things I have to look forward to at the minute, what with exams and other annoyingness. So I will continue to go on about it for a while.

I like this poem. It describes my present mood perfectly - the utter joy of having chickens around, combined with the panic of out-of-control pecking and general chaos. Oh and while I'm at it, here's Phil's recommendation.

I might set up a new poll soon, not sure what on though. Maybe I should set up a poll about what subject I should set up a poll on, hmmm...

Let me leave you with this advice: do not eat too many Starburst Sea Monsters, they make you feel hungry and yet unable to eat without feeling sick.

Est-ce qu'il y a un eglise pres d'ici? Je veux faire du praying, oui. Continuez tous droite puis tournez a gauche? Ah, merci beaucoup.
Au revoir mes amis x x x
