Sill studying... in theory. I had an exam on monday which was probably the hardest one, except it turned out to be quite easy. I have another one tomorrow, but it should also be easy.. unless they are being tricky and make extra hard questions. But we think we should be able to make most of it up! Or... ok I'll do a little bit more study but really... its on the 'fluff' part of our course - not denying its not important, but its hard to define and a bit wishy washy!!

In the mean time I've been *ahem* watching movies and playing computer games... just a little bit! Somehow studying with my uni buddies Jack and Ruth turned into wireless network game of empire earth! Shh don't tell anyone... more geekyness!!! And today we managed to make multiplayer Heroes of Might and Magic 4 work.... didn't finish that game yet. Unlike the Empire Earth game we're not all on the same team....

The 2 movies I've seen this week - Cars at the movies on Tuesday. Was quite a good animated movie, although initially I was worried that a movie purely about cars could not deliver what I'd come to expect from a Pixar movie! The beginning Pixar clip titled 'One Man Band' was awesome, and the few scenes at the end with the credits were worth waiting for as well!

I also finally watched 'Spirited Away' which is an anime movie last night. It was also quite cool - a story about a sour little girl who gets herself into a spirit world and has to survive, rescue her parents and get out again eventually! There were some cool different spirits and monsters and dragons (in anime style)... with only a few anime style oddities in the story line. The trailers on the dvd were also fun - gave me ideas of more anime movies I could watch to educate myself... I feel sure its an important life skill/area!!!

Well.. enough of a break... a tiny bit more study then I'll call it quits for tonight. Unless of course I get hooked on soccer.. which is another feature of this week! I watched the awesome game of Australia against Japan where we came back from 1-0 to win 3-1 all within the last 10 minutes! And last night was Spain v Ukraine - Spain won 4-0 in a very impressive performance. And now its Equador in their colourful red yellow and blu against equador mainly in white... 1-0 to Equador so far. :)

Content in My Geekyness.

I've been told by a certain best friend of mine that I'm a geek. Her exact words were that I was 'content in my geekyness'. So I thought about this. I wondered if its true? Am I really a geek and what does this mean. (On reflection, the fact I'm reflecting on this at all... could be geeky, or perhaps I'm turning into a good medical professional with good reflective habits like they want us to!). So... Ok I play board games now and then. And computer games now and then. Bad sign for geekyness. However I enjoy them. So maybe I really am content? Then at uni yesterday, Jack and Nick were discussing a multitude of sci-fi movies. Beginning with X-men 3 (I have only seen number 1) then proceeding onto millions more I'D NEVER SEEN! Hooray I'm not a pure geek! And then just to make sure I did a geek test on a random website - 12.5%. It said 'needs to stay in more'! I think I'm fine!
Thats not to say I didn't walk around uni with a Lord of the Rings board game after Mum brought if back from Melbourne. And I've played it 7 times since yesterday :) Its quite good.
Ok, maybe I'm content with my minimal level of geekyness.

Blythe
I'm studying.. really.
And in other news, for Christmas, I got a cool Blythe book from the always lovely Tahnee. And now on my google homepage I have a flickr window which shows me some random recently updated pics. Today was someone's own collection of Blythes.

still alive
Just a little entry - I'm still alive and kicking, however I'm supposed to be spending close to every minute of the day studying. Or something.
In reality - I have been doing quite a lot, although that has also involved the for-runners of studying... like making lots of lists of things to learn. Now to learn to learn them.
But of course, because I can never do only one thing for that long, I've also done this and that - went out to yummy Annapurna (indian) restaraunt for Tahnee's 21st dinner with lots of her other friends, as well as to Kaos for a 'coffee'=[lush] white hot chocolate afterwards. Yesterday i went to church twice! Margate in the morning and Bay West's Sunday Night Live with some other friends in the evening... It was nice to see lots of people I knew there. And I studied. Today I'll study. Tomorrow I'll go to uni for a couple of things, and study. Hurrah.
Oh.. but I heard that Mum and Hamish had a lovely time in Melbourne and they told me they are very nice people which means they bought me 'Lord of the Rings: Confrontation' - a fun lookig 2 player board game. Have yet to set eyes on it, but I'm sure it is a good study break tool!!!

Sleepover
On Saturday Submerge (youth group) had our end of term 'big event'! It went quite well despite a slightly lower turn out that we'd been having to normal evenings. With about 16 kids, and the usual suspect leaders, we got through a large amount of the food we'd planned for up to 30 kids! (There were some left overs - I get to make a couple of pizzas at home soon!) We rolled/skooted/bladed around the 2 rinks at Woody's Rollerworld for a few hours - with some macarina competetions, and a ramp to spice things up! Then returned to church to play games, make and eat pizza, watch Chronicles of Narnia: Lion, Witch and Wardrobe, eat jelly and custard, watch (for girls=me!) the Princess Diaries 2 and the boys Napolean Dynamite. They all fell asleep eventually (after watching movie, deleted scenes, deciding to have an easter egg hunt cos someone had brought left over eggs.... then farting and giggling etc!! Then in a blink of an eye it was 7am and not long after boys with pillows turned up... so that was that! But it was a good night! For now the break is well timed - by the time Submerge starts next term on the 19th of June, I'll nearly have finished exams (last 1 is 20th).
