Will be going to my grandmother's in about 2 hours. Oh misery. It is the saddest place in the entire Universe. (...that I've ever been to, anyway. I don't want to undermine the sufferings of like, Zimbabweans and stuff). And I spend the most nightmarish hours of my life there, I swear. Oh well, anything for the Mummy. On Mothers' Day especially. I'll go and I'll suck it all in - all 3 hours of mind-numbing boredom where I literally, literally sit and stone into space willing time away. 

In other news, I think I'll create a new blog soon. Never really took to livejournal, hm.

hahahaha, inflation. 

In the thick of  Mugging Season, and the fatigue is starting to set in!

Levels of morale and optimism are still relatively high, but my neck is cramping and my butt is sore and my wrist is aching and I am so afraid of developing Carpal's Tunnel. It will only be some time before the morale sags - today I became aware of the fact that even though I have been home (as opposed to at my aunt's house) for about five days already and even though there actually is a television at home and even though I consistently get up by nine o'clock, I haven't been catching Ellen!!!

Awareness of Depressing Circumstances, my friends,  is the first step to full fledged Depression. 
Must somehow avoid Downward Spiral into Gloom.

Luckily I have Super Upbeat Super Catchy Mugging Playlist!
Featuring Ke$ha and Gaga and Britney and AWESOMENESS!!!

...and while Singapore Statues Online has made it to my 6 Most Visited Sites. :(((  
So has watch-series.com!!! :)))

...I fucked my Legal Theory exam up so bad man. (Like how bad? Opened the paper - realised I'd concentrated on ALL the wrong topics. Didn't even read about the cursed Speluncean Explorers...on which 50fucking% of the paper focused. Submitted 15minutes late. Still (literally, literally) a THOUSAND WORDS away from a good exam.)Haven't felt so miserable about an exam for awhile. Went on facebook to see other people bitch and feel better? And realised that the fact that I don't even have the energy to joke or bitch means that I probably did tonnes worst than the others. Feeling shitty, shitty, shitty.

...shitty.

...wasn't even like I didn't study! Or like I don't understand! Just, don't know how I fucked up so bad. Like, not the "ohmygad, no A?! how disappointing" kind of fucked up. But the "pleasepleasepleaseplease let me at least get a C+, i would give my soul" type of fucked up.

OH MANNN!!!

Legal Theory requires SO much stamina.

It isn't even that the Writings and Philosophizings are badly written and unreadable - and once in awhile, there is wit and humour (but only once in a very long while).

BUT two pages, and my concentration GOES!!!

And. There is nobody to talk to because everybody is mugging and everybody seems to have waaay longer concentration spans than me. Which is why I am rambling on livejournal, how tragic is that.

Moral of the Story:
WHY LEGAL THEORISTS SO CHIONG HEI!!! :(
WHY MY BRAIN SO SMALL! 
WHY WHY WHY!!!

"I am far more sympathetic towards the idea of awards than I used to be...I used to be quite militant. I actually boycotted the first nomination I ever got. I didn’t show up, and I thought I didn’t care until I found out I hadn’t won, and I was mortified." - Colin Firth

haha, I don't suppose its a feeling foreign to many - and what an awful feeling huh, that mortification. Am pretty dismayed about my moot grade, really. But I suppose some disappointment through the course of school is inevitable. In other news, I really, really want to go watch A Single Man. Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Tom Ford. Tell me, what's not to love? I should go out and get myself a ticket, but, the film shall probably make me even more depressed. And that's not something we want, do we? 

HELLO.

I'm not going to blog about my moots, just yet.
Instead, I will blog about the (more) appalling state of all my other academic subjects.

A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with Jeremy that went like this:

Me: Is tomorrow's crim seminar the 6th? Or the 7th?
Jeremy: ...Uh, it's the 9th.

And now its deja vu, as I try and prepare for my Contract Tutorial (which is like, 4 hours away only, hahaa)

Me: i have no idea what to prepare today, illegality?
Junyi: have you done illegality?
Me: uhh....darn, I can't really remember!

And I think it's just a sign that I have been ponning waaaay too many lectures, and being mentally absent for waaaay too many tutorials.

I remember the last tutorial being really lame because like, we went through a TON of confusing caselaw? And then at the end, learned that it was all a very pointless exercise because we have this New Statute thingy? Which has (supposedly) set out the law on the area quite definitively. As to what area of the law precisely, I have no clue.

I am screwed for my coming exams and I don't need nobody tellin' me that.

Okay, you know what really annoys me?

"Save the __(insert Whatever Random Endangered Animal)__" type campaigns.

First, alot of wildlife preservation funds/campaigns seem to premised on the over-simplistic notion that...
Preservation, good. Destruction, bad. I could think of a hundred species, which if destroyed, would lead to world happiness. The whole mosquito family, for example.

Second, nobody would really miss them if they just...went.
Just like nobody really misses the Dodo bird or the Sardinian Pika (and I bet you wouldn't have known this if I hadn't Googled) or like...dinosaurs. And nobody would really miss...whichever three species of Albatross is dying out.

Third, hello, it's like diverting funds from way worthier causes. 
Donating to Wildlife Conservation Funds/ Asking for donations to Wildlife Conservation Funds is exactly like saying:
"Yeah the third world's starving. And maybe we are a little short on cash! But let's save the Pangolin anyway!"

...Okay, the Pangolin is like, an anteater. 

Anteater versus People!

The only reason why people really want to Save Anteaters, is probably because they're cute and all that crap. And obviously Third World people don't stand a chance because probably starving people don't look so attractive. That's why Save the Wildlife campaigns, with all their capitalizing on cute animals, are so annoying.

Me: ...lucky I have a tuition job!
Mom: But she keeps cancelling for church!
Me:Yeah, I'm competing with Jesus...Business is not good. O.O

Hahaha, thanks to my Japanese classes, I have made a total of $10 after two months of work (because income-debt=$10).
How tragic is that maaan! To be fair though, I've only worked six weeks out of those two months because of above-mentioned reason.
And yes I need the money, my whole previous post was about how I need to save up for my great Escape(s) from Singapore.

シンガポール今毎日気温も高ければ雨も降りませんから、最悪な所です。だから、まだ三月であることがわかりましたが、旅行に行きたくないではいられません。特別な場所は要りません。どんな近い国もいいと思います；たとえマレシアーの「ゲンティーング・ハイラーンド」へ行ってもけっこういいとおもいます。条件は一つだけ：「しシンガポールよりもっと寒い」この必要があります。

実は、ちょっと早すぎるかもしれないけど、もう家族と旅行の計画があります。でも、お金はぜんぜんありませんので、予定どおり旅行に行くように今一生懸命に働いて貯金をするほかしかたがないです。

今から毎月ずつ貯金をすれば、十二月休みの時、遊びたいだけ遊べます。だから、よく考えた後、今やっぱり頑張った方がいいですよね。

みんな、すみませんね。昨日から、日本語テストの準備をするためにブログを日本語で書いています。別に秘密がないので、ご安心下さいよ！

［…そう！またテスト！T.T　学校生活は地獄らしいね～！］
