Yay, We found Marzieh!!

So today I am actually going to post two blogs in a row! *happy dance* Another *happy dance* moment is that today Marzieh twittered for the first time in like, ever, saying she's back! Yay!!
She's been MIA for what seems like ages; I've no idea the real time but it's been too long. =)

OK, so I fail at writing interesting blogs at the moment. I hope they'll get better when I'm on break which starts on Friday. Let's think what I can write about. OH I know, my earrings....

In November I got my ears pierced and a few months ago the time passed for me to take out the training studs out and replace them with nicer, prettier looking earrings, so I went out and bought a pair of gold and red strawberry earrings. When I bought them I thought, oh yeah strawberries, EVERYONE has these kind of earrings, they'll be inconspicuous, but nice looking and ones I can wear everyday comfortably. Inconspicous? Ordinary? Apparently not! For some reason there have been SO MANY PEOPLE who have commented on my earrings. And it's not as if these people know that I've just had them done and they are merely commenting politely on something new; (you know how girls always seem to compliment their girl friends and guys too about their new haircut/colour even if actually in truth it is HIDEOUS! Or maybe I'm just particular about that sort of thing). I think I should have taken a hint from the saleperson who practically gushed every ten seconds on how cute they were when I was buying them. But a lot of people have been going 'oh look strawberries!!' as if it's something new and exciting. I am quite perplexed about it; my impression that everyone had a pair of cute strawberry earrings in their jewelry box was clearly not based on any logical proof. But on the other hand it could actually be part of this massive conspiracy theory to make me think they look cute and some how that leads to me accidently ripping a hole in the time-space continuum and destroying the universe forever.

So yes, strawberry earrings - an unlikely conversation starter. If you like short conversations. And don't get me started on elephant shaped paperclips.....

=)

Gobble Gobble Gobble.

OK so I basically fail at Blog Every Day April. Mainly because I haven't blogged every day in April and it's only the 7th day of the month.

Today I had my mid-semester exam for my earth science unit. I think I made half of the short answer part up, but hopefully I didn't do to dismally. Tomorrow I have a calculus test that I'm a bit worried about but that'll be over and done with by 9am so then I'll have the rest of the day free of the plague of worry assessments usually bring on.

So this morning I was reading twitter and came across a tweet by Tom Felton (aka Draco Malfoy in the HP movies):

"TomFeltonLong trips + Prodigy = Getting to point B in record time. (via @Spellvira)my thoughts exactly!omen,breathe and snack my witch up,tunes!xabout 17 hours ago from Tweetie "

Haha, Snack my Witch Up. If you don't know the actual name of the song he is referring to just search Prodigy and you'll probably find it. And you probably can guess anyway....

Today at uni there was a petting zoo on Oak Lawn (aka a grassed area with trees on it), and there was the CUTEST little white kitten. It was so small and so gorgeous. I want another cat. There was also some small sheep, goats (including one that was massive), an alpaca, ferrets, various rabbits, various chickens, pigeons, doves and a few dogs. Oh and there was a turkey. Now that was a sight to behold.

"Come on my army of midget friends" I've decided quoting people is a good way of making my blogs interesting (or is it?? let me know) and this particular one was said my a friend of mine as we were walking out of the Physics lecture theatre and is the most amusing thing I can remember from today. What he was refering was to my other friend and I who are both approximately 5'4" whereas he's a nice 6'6" (I think - something pretty tall, his head almost touches the top of the doorway out of the lecture theatre).

I need to study for my calculus test now Principle of Mathematic Induction HERE I COME!!!

So I'm already behind in BEDA. Well, I guess I'll have to keep soldiering forward...

At the moment I am having a break from studying and doing various assignments for my various units. These assignments I assure you are the least fun things you could imagine doing in the category of homework/study. I have two assignments due tomorrow, they are online assignments so they aren't too much of a big deal but it's better to know how to do them than not. And I do not. Well, generally they take waaay to much time to do and don't seem to help that much in my general understanding of the unit work. And the time I'm taking to do these assignments is chewing up the time I have to study for my mid-semester Earth science exam and my Calc test on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. *sigh*

LATER: So I actually wrote the above paragraph on Sunday morning. It is now Monday afternoon. I just finished an annoying online assignment for my engineering unit. I have to finish an annoying online Physics assignment before 5pm which I will most probably not finish before then. It'll take me too long and it's only worth approximately .7% of my final mark. I have to study for a "mid-semester exam" that I have tomorrow for my Earth science unit. It's not too bad and it can be quite interesting. The only problem is I'm not entirely sure what's meant to be in the exam so I can only guess and hope I'm studying the right things.

I can't wait to get this mid-semester exam and calc test (which I have no Wednesday) out of the way, because then we get a week off which is officially called "study break". Although I will be doing some study during this break I think that term sounds a bit depressing and is as if we are not allowed to have just normal relaxing breaks and must study, study, study all the time. But perhaps that's just me.

This blog has not been particularly interesting and I apologize for this sincerely and hope I haven't caused anyone any distress if they had expected a thoroughly riveting blog and instead, read this boring piece of text. So yes, truly sorry, dear reader but please read my future posts; I'm sure they'll be more exciting.

=)

Today is Friday

So this is my second but really should be my third BEDA blog. I was going to do a blog about Prosh but I'm not sure what to write about as yet. However I will define it for those who are confused to what Prosh actually is, because I'm sure most of the people who will read this blog aren't from Perth, let alone Australia and have just as much trouble knowing what it is as I have understanding French =P.

My university, the University of Western Australia once a year raises money for several charities by selling so called "satricial" newspapers that contains articles written by various students. The way we sell them is by dressing up in crazy costumes and going out at early hours in the morning and harass all the commuters as they make their way to their places of work. So on Prosh day it's not unusual to see guys wearing nappies or tutus waving newspapers in people faces, or girls and guys painted in head to toe in blue or green or any other such colour shaking tins in the name of a good cause. Prosh is short for procession, so there is a parade through the streets during the day with various student clubs and unions from UWA having there own lavishly decorated floats (or not so lavishly decorated in the case of the Arts Union thus proving they ARE a lazy bunch) as part of it.
This is a picture of the Science Union float: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1712801&l=bfff0a47ef&id=543788156
The theme for the science union was sci-fi/fantasy.

That's all I can think of to say today. Write more tomorrow! <3

Blog Every Day April

So I've decided to participate in BEDA (Blog Every Day April), which was invented by esteemed author Maureen Johnson a friend of John Green of the vlogbrothers and also an esteemed author himself. Collectively they are so esteemed that Australia bookshops fail to stock over ten of their books at one time. We just can't handle that awesome.... apparently - and would rather have THREE to FOUR seperate displays of Twilight related merchandise including but not nessacarily exclusive of the entire book series, t-shirts, posters and a biography of Robert Pattinson (!) in ONE Borders store that really isn't that big in relation to the universe which is um, yeah - a pretty big thing.

I'm not sure if I can actually blog everyday because of having to go to uni and studying etc but I will try. I missed blogging yesterday, but will make up for that with a blog post about Prosh (with pictures!).

Because everyone likes pictures.... =D

Oh will you look at that... it's been over a month!

Indeed it has. It's been a month and two days since I last posted a blog. One reason is that for two weeks I was in Melbourne/Hobart and another reason is that I can't think on what to blog about.

"We're at the end of the Universe. Right at the edge of knowledge itself. And you're busy blogging!"
~the Doctor from Dr Who series 3 episode 11 "Utopia"

Unfortunately that sentence is completely contradictory to what I've been doing; unlike Captain Jack and Martha I don't have anything interesting to blog about and also, unlike Captain Jack and Martha I'm not at the end of the Universe and/or at the edge of knowledge itself (or at least not to my knowledge). What I have been doing, though, is watching a lot of Doctor Who series one and series three on DVD plus they are repeating series two on the TV at the moment. So I suppose, once again, unlike Captain Jack and Martha I'm watching a lot of Dr Who TV. Which of course they couldn't because it would be some sort of weird paradox thing if they were watching an episode of themselves (being fictional beings) on TV in real life because they are actually fictional characters. And in order to watch themselves on TV it would mean they'd cease to be fictional characters and become real and therefore can no longer be on TV as fictional characters....

That makes sense.....

What? Oh right, blogging time; I just ranted about Doctor Who way longer than I intended.

So, I went to the beach yesterday and got sunburn on my face, arms and legs. I put sunscreen on and I also reapplied twice! It's not fair. Well really the only thing that's fair is me. Pardon the pun; if your groaning at how bad that joke was don't worry, so am I. *rolls eyes* If you've never come across the phrase "fair skinned" before you might be confused but perhaps that's just as well. I'm white and I don't tan. Which is fine in cloudy Britain but not in Australia; especially Perth in summer. It means I have to cover myself in sunscreen or I'll burn. I don't mind too much, I like being pale but that just means when I get burned it's really annoying because it makes my skin red and blotchy. And it's bad for you. I'd rather not get skin cancer thank you very much. Or age prematurely or both. Although sometimes those two things are mutually exclusive.

I can't think of anything else to say. Hmmm, I've always thought it would be awesome if my blogs had some underlying theme in them which would be strengthened by situations from real life - unfortunately that's not the case, in this blog at least. Bye bye! <3
