Misogynistic Potatoes and the War of the Leafs

Examity, when it hits, hits with a bang. It leaves no room for confusion that it is in fact examity. In fact, the poor sop that does not believe that what they are suffering from is Examity may as well just be shot.

Let me tell you about wonderful exam period. It started off with a bang! With two easy finals! I met with a friend on April 15th at 8 in the morning. she asked me, "Talk to me about the History of the english language! What will be on their from that?"

Me: "Well, it starts off with the Romans fucking off out of Britain. And then...around some time something else happens."

Person: "Say what?"

Me: "Let me look. I didn't study this."

Minutes Later

Person: "Did you study at all?"

Me: "Nope!"

Person: "You bitch."

Yes, that is right. With only 4 hours until my final, I sat down to study for it. Haha. I felt so prepared for that one. I'll keep you posted onto how I did in that one.

Well, the next final I prepared for. But low and behold, the person that I study with, forgot a word and messed up some translation so ended up saying "They were murderers of planes." Well...woops.

You might be wondering where examity comes into this? Hold your horses! I am a story teller, and therefore must give you background as to why I finally cracked under the pressure.

Well, I studied hard on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with small breaks for various different things, for my exam on Tuesday. I forget what I did Friday, but I was pretty busy. I do remember that! on Saturday, i went to the mall with two friends to return a book and we ended up going to a couple of other places really quickly. Sunday was spent also reviewing a bit for my final Monday.

In a sense, you could call my literature exam the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. But, first, I must tell you of Sunday night. I needed to eat food. After all, that is what one does, correct. One eats food. Well, let me tell you, there were two perfect baking potatoes. My roommate put them into the oven. Well, so I was called out to check and see if they were done. Well, they weren't. I checked ten minutes later. Still not done. well, after the third time, I got frustrated and said, "These are misogynistic potatoes!" Which sparked the great Misogynistic Potato debate.

R1: "Can they be misogynistic if there is no male to test with?"

Me: "Yes! I am female! They refuse to cook! Therefore, they are misogynistic potatoes!"

R1: "you can't just ignore one test set!"

R2: "Oh dear, this is going to go well.'

Me: "Well, I'm Fred right now!"

Yes folks, my alter-ego is male. I am not gender confused. Fred developed as a joke, and has now moved into crazy freaky ach realm.

Well, you would think that would be the worst of the examity. Well, ha! If you thought that, then you were horribly horribly wrong!

I would say that the examity struck the hardest on Monday evening when the Massacre of the Leafs and the Torture of the sticks took place. It started with a stick being broken and ended with cities of leafs destroyed in the greatest leaf massacre known to leaf-kind.

Don't worry folks! All hope is not lost for myself and my roommates! Our exams have finished and we are know examity free. Oh, Happy Birthday to me!

Later everyone.

Hopefully a good day...

Well, so I have hopes that today will be a better day. My week has been just one thing after another. I last posted an entry before I went to see the doctor on Friday. Well, lets just say that it was not all good news. Not bad, but not great. He ordered more blood work done to make sure that I don't have something, which was fun. I basically got to rush down to the medical labs to get the blood work taken on Monday, so that he can get the results before I go back home, hopefully. Because if it isn't good, of course I will have to go in and see him, so he would like the results as quickly as possible. But, I'm sure that it isn't what he think it potentially could be if my body really hates me. I am confident in this mainly because he is confident that it isn't the issue that it normally would point to.

Well, so Friday evening I went to get birthday gifts for people and to see the movie 21. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. 21 was definitely a movie that I thought I'll see it in theater, but not because I think it would be good. I purely went to see it in theater because it was something to do. However, it was actually good! I won't say that it was fantastic and the best film created in a long time. It definitely wasn't. I was able to tell when something would happen. The ending was clear to me, with the way that the beginning was set up. Despite all of this, it was still a pleasant film. I felt pulled in by the story. yes, there were bits that seemed to drag on, but they were few and far between. I would definitely recommend this movie if you have time and money.

I'm trying to remember what I did on Saturday and Sunday. You wouldn't think it would be that difficult! However, I am having a hard time thinking about what it was. Oh! Nope, it's gone. Not really, I'm sure I'll remember. I know that I watched West Wing with my roommate as well as Torchwood. I thought I actually did something though...maybe I didn't. Oh, right, I slept in incredibly late. I also talked with my mom on Saturday and tried to talk with my sister. Aside from that, I worked on my paper, which while it isn't a kickass paper, it is not bad.

On Sunday, I went to see the musical Aida. The storyline was fantastic. The complexities within it were astounding. The ending could be interpreted in so many ways. Was the princess Amneris really being a benevolent princess when she let them die together? Or was she getting a form of revenge? After all, they had to watch each other die. Man, I just loved it. There were a few singers that I was like, "GAH! FLAT!" but it might have been just that day. The music is astounding. I loved it.

My Monday, aside from the blood work, was very calm and normal. Went to class, ate food, studied, went to sleep, etc. Tuesday was a crazy day. I had to do my German dialogue. Let me tell you, that sucker was insane! However, we presented it and the people enjoyed it. I proved that peer pressure exists in all different forms. Well, I'm sure it has been proven before, but I proved it with someone who is not a pushover. I hope that we did okay on it.

Wednesday was spent doing classwork and starting work on my portfolio. Thursday was spent finishing the portfolio. To view my portfolio go to this page. I'm not fully finished with it yet, I just got it to a point that I can present it for a workshop with. I will be adding more items to it.

Aside from the mundane, every day life items: I have been doing more research on Germany items. Aka funding, visa requirements, visa application, orientation information, etc. I have to go through so many more hoops since I am going on exchange to Germany through a foreign university that I am attending on a visa. I am insane, however it just means more research. I have to find the equivalents for the things that are for the citizens of Canada. Whatever, easy to do. Just annoying. Funding is another thing that will be relatively easy to come by. Just going to be annoying with the hoops again.

Well, there will be an update later on, but for now, this is it!

Germany

Well, for those of you who read the last entry: the paper is written. However, I have to go back and redo some bits of it. There are some bits that are so summarizing rather than analyzing. Curse the damned whatever beings that made me have to right this paper. I really enjoyed it, but its just so....blah. I'm very much just writing it to write it. I really could careless about this paper. Yes, this is the end of the term talking. Normally, I would love to write this paper. However, I just can't wrap my mind fully around it.

In other news, I received the official papers that I am going to Germany. Not just the email, but the official papers. Sadly, the orientation conflicts with a comedian I wanted to see, but oh well. I'll live without seeing them. Won't be as cool since my family will have all gone, but as I said, I'll live. After all, I get to go to university in a palace.

Yes folks, I had it confirmed. The university in germany is at this place.
My outstanding scholar prof used to work at the University of Mannheim before coming to Windsor. I talked with him about Mannheim for a bit. I am totally psyched for going to Germany. I am scared shitless as well! Trust me, there are SOOO many doubts going through my head. After all, i'm going to a place with a second language! That's scary as hell! But it is the best way to learn the language.

Hm, what other news do I have...I really can't think of anything right now. That's surprising. Lol. Normally I'm like, "Boom. News."

I may learn to hate the Greeks and Romans

I mean come on! A goddess for children's drink!? But there isn't a god or goddess for sincerity? Or at least, not a major one!? Come on! How friggin not cool is that!? Totally ruining my plans for a kick-ass paper! I totally don't want to have to go pouring through books to find one measly god or goddess that isn't even ranked high! Damn them!

Oh and let's not go into the whole hallucination business. And asceticism. Really people! Your body is a temple!

Yes, I am quite aware that the people of nearly 2 millenia ago won't change themselves!

However, I have my idea for my paper. It's going to be soooo kickass. i have to do a little research into some Roman, Greek, and Norse Gods. But it'll be fine. Oh, and I might have to send an email off to my sister to see how legal proceedings go. Teehee. It'll be fun.
