For now, I will revel in youthful energy and apply that as keenly as I will; my reminiscences will be accentuated by such things, perhaps, but it is such a short while and there is always the possibility I will not remember that anyway, not realise what has been lost. And even so, it will not matter, for my tiredness will be a fortuitous declaration of what had gone before. Now, you see, the challenge is to earn that tiredness [of decay alone, not what follows death] such that the pattern may be established, strengthened, and developed keenly to some none-too-distant point whereupon rest will be forthcoming (though even there, ‘rest’ shall not denote an absence of activity!)
So much will fade before we are bright again; but we may still burn inwardly. Let not the light be hidden.

I think there are 12 hours all up. I’m thinking I’ll probably work Thursday and Friday afternoons if the courses I’ve chosen don’t change again (i.e., I don’t change them) before uni starts Monday week.

Well the girls were having some ridiculously girly movie night (a Suddenly 30 sleepover — aka 13 going on 30 in most other regions, for some reason the Australian release got a different name), so we decided to go one better.
Only ended up watching two movies but both were absolute quality… the first (Army of Darkness) because of mediocre (but not outright bad, and not pretentious at all) production values/ridiculous/fun plot, and the second (Commando) because of Arnie and associated explosions, gratuitous violence, barely-remembered-one-liners (it was noted his name is always John, presumably because, being monosyllabic, he will at least remember to answer to it), etc. Good times had by all.

OH MY GOODNESS I PASSED WITH CREDIT!!!
It strikes me that the marks must have been horribly scaled, much of the rest of the cohort have intellects that could be best applied removing gum from carpets, or I am, in fact, a borderline genius and simply chose not to take advantage of this until in the exam room (which, it is worth noting, I turned two minutes late for, had a nose-bleed in, and left early having exhausted my knowledge of the subject some time previously). Or, alternative, the subject is a wank and it wouldn’t have mattered what I wrote.
Sure, 71 isn’t anything special, but I fail to see how I attained a mark that high! W00t.

Snapped this in Coles earlier this week. (It’s a typo, for those unfamiliar with the cost of produce. Should say KG instead of Each… unless genetic engineering has reached the point where 1KG mandarins are indeed within the realm of possibility!)
