Weekend Tidbit

Mwaaaah, anatomy exam Monday, and lots of organic chem to catch up with, uggghh....of course, that won't stop me. :)

I got my results back from that hell week, gee golly jeepers I'm passing organic chem? Who knew! Not so sure about anatomy, I got the points I thought I'd need to pass lab, but I'm a few points short, ugh not again.....

In 1.5 days we'll be tested on the stupid nervous system...!!! So much to know. Currently working on neuroglia, dammit....haha, grumbling aside, this second half of anatomy should be easier, eh, no more failing practicums for me.

I recently joined the Depeche Mode forum to post my thoughts on their new video 'hole to feed,' which is really gross but made a point about the song. There are some people who just "I DON'T LIKE IT" and that's it, I was hoping for more detail but I guess the people didn't feel like writing it out....

Also, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan's blog is really interesting, he just wrote this response letter to a journalist who placed a sting camera in the room during an interview, bwahaha that was a great letter. He's got really good English, and some of the burns were just phenomenal.

"If you were to look me straight in the eye and challenge me, I would not hesitate to look you straight back and justify. Put this cap of self righteous zeal over your own head and then come riding with me. I’ll whip your horse and you mine and lets see who rides the furthest and the longest."

HAHAHAh that was aaweesome. The greatest thing is, the guy has a really deep voice and eyes that can go menacing in an instant....being old (67 on Ms. Conway's birthday) helps too, really majestic like. I'd pay to hear him say this to the guy's face. Maybe he'd get mad and yell! Haha, epic.

Also really want to get the Depeche Mode album, booo hoooooo....I saw that "Corrupt" was used for the True Blood finale....looks like a sexy show for such a sexy song, yuummy...However, I'll stick to my Mad Men, thanks very much (I haven't seen an ep in weeks, shoot.)

"I could corrupt you
It will be easy
Watching you suffer
Girl, it will please me

I wanna touch you
With my little finger
I know it will crush you
My memory would linger"

BWAAA martin that is so sexy and Dave....seriously, croon some more and I'm going to die ( I can't believe how many faces melted at those concerts....snaky hips indeed!)

Psych fall season finale yesterday was amazing, just to have Henry around to help save Shawn was great. What did it for me was Shawn's badassness when he fired the gun at the truck, with his left shoulder shot through. It was pretty sweet. The Reservoir Dogs reference made me giggle, I love that movie. :) :)

Ann and I think White Collar looks interesting, let alone the protagonist is a real cutie. :) I'll give it 3 eps, see what it's got....

Okay, gotta study.

Whew

Hell week is over, and the time I spent with my sister and dad was sooo worth it. I got my sister to watch Kal Ho Naa Ho, it seems cheesier the second time watching...but it got to my sister, she was crying a lot afterwards, just like I was the first time...:) Oh Shahrukh, you never fail us.

But I had to say goodbye to my family again as they left for home, now I'm back to studying.

Yesterday was my piano teacher's birthday, I was at my aunt's house and I played all my old pieces that I left there. It really brought back memories...I didn't know I started learning from her since '99!! I mean, I knew it was when I was in 4th grade, but geez....

Well, I got my organic chem exam grade, I didn't fail the exam and I am barely passing the class. :) Not so sure I did well on Anatomy, though...sucks. :(

I also have to study for a physics test this week. And write a research paper. :(

Also, I found out Armin van Buuren was just in Chicago this last friday. :( So this is the third DJ I've missed....ATB when seeing FLogging mOlly, then Paul Van Dyk, THEN AVb???!!I'm soooooo maaaad.....oh well. (Plus depeche mode tours....ugh.)

I passed my classes.....guess that's something. :/

Well, on to studying...and maybe Sims!!!

Hell Week

So tomorrow is my second organic chem exam, followed by the anatomy practicum on Thursday.....we'll be testing EVERYTHING from the last five weeks or so, 100 questions or more, really big....:( I have so much to do...

What's getting me through this all is the two days off we this weekend, called Fall Break.I got my dad and sister coming down here to visit me, so that's motivating me. :) I told him to get from netflix Kal Ho Naa Ho, a cute movie and my first "Bollywood" movie with SRK. It was pleasant, and I thought pretty nice. I'm not into chick flicks much, let alone romantic movies, but I only watched it 'cause of SRK....he was really funny and sweet in it, I don't know how I'll handle him being serious like in Devdas or whatever.

So yeah, can't wait to watch it with my sister. I told her I cried a lot in the movie, because there was a lot of emphasis on mothers in it, and I know from personal experience how much sacrifice a mother goes through, seeing as how mine has done so much for me. those moments in movies really get to me, so maybe it's a personal thing...

Well, enough of that! I have to go re-learn cat muscles and whatnot, seeing as how I almost failed the lab quiz for the cat muscles. :( And I really did fail the Organic Chem exam, so let's hope for a good one tomorrow.

I really have to credit my great friends here, though. They are great emotional support, in that I can be myself around them and goof off. We indulged in some gossip today, it was really funny 'cause we all thought the same things about the other "friends" we have here at the college. They also know I struggle here at the college, so their help is always appreciated.

One more awesome thing that popped up recently is--Amitabh Bachchan's blog!! I am just astounded at how I am able to read the thoughts of the most successful/Big actor in Bollywood....it's like reading Dustin Hoffman's blog (which I'd PAY for....:) :) )

And Amitabh is very handsome for a 66-year old...toupee or not, his baritone voice is amazing. He certainly acts/looks like a king, doesn't he? Statuesque and regal, haha. And his philosophical thoughts are quite interesting to read, actually. It's nice to hear about bollywood and India from an insider's point of view.

Well, now i REALLY have to go. Later...

Oh Allah!

Haha no, I'm not Muslim....but I've been hearing that word a lot lately. :)

I've gotten kinda obsessed with all things bollywood. It started with curious browsing on youtube to see what was all that with bollywood. After the bollywood-themed Psych episode with a gorgeous Sendhil, I went back and checked and rediscovered my fascination with Devdas. The dancing is amazing. THEN, I found the clip where Madhruti sings to this guy, who I guessed was Devdas....so I didn't really know who he was, but he had this really intense look.

I looked him up, and slowly came to realize how awesome he was. Shahrukh Khan.

Yes. Not only is he good looking for his age, but that earthy, intense feel in the clips I've seen is awesome. I can't imagine what it's like in context of the whole film itself...so I hunted some down on Veoh, and will wake up extra early tomorrow to watch some.

Oh yeah, and that nice shirtless video, haha.....ha.....

well, back to studying more ORganic. Ugh. SRK, save me!!

Yeah I'm studying for my anatomy muscle quiz tomorrow, gotta remember all the movements...blah. Gabriel & Dresden remixes are getting me through it, though. A youtube commenter was right, whatever those two touch is gold. :) Too bad they "broke up." I'm glad they touched a Depeche Mode song, I almost squeed when I heard the song pop up on my radio. :) :) Wonderful, wonderful....

What I really came on here to write about was to gush about this guy I saw while walking to the school building for my cultural class. We were all just traversing down the walkway, everyone was in front of me, etc. etc. The guy, he had hair up in a two-tie half-ponytail, so I couldn't tell his gender....but as I glanced down I could tell. He glanced back at me a couple times, aahh yummy. Those dark-eyed Latino/Middle Eastern/Light Indian types. :) Really hot. Reminded me of Naveen Andrews, ah, yummy....

While we're on the subject, Sendhil on Psych last week was SOOO CUTE, his shining eyes were adorable. :)

Uh, what's also hot is MAD MEN. I just started watching the show after my friend kept talking about it, I saw the season two finale on the airplane on the way back to the US. I watched it without sound, but Christina Hendricks caught my eye, since I recognized her from Firefly. She filled out a lot, and for the best. :) What a curvy goddess, wowza.

But what really made me plug in the headset was (I didn't know his previous status until my roommate/suitemate/friend told me) sulky Angel spawn Vincent Kartheiser...his baby face was quite the eye catcher. However, I ruined probably the HUGEST plot thing for the show, dammit. Now I'm almost done with season 1, aaahhh I wish I hadn't ruined it for me......:(

However, the Peggy and Pete hook up in the ep I watched was awesome. Pete is hilarious, but needs to sort out his issues so poor Peggy stops getting hurt. She's my favorite, pretty bad ass when she wants to.

Also, update since summer post....yeah, physics I missed passing by a couple percent, AGAIN happening.....ugh. What sucks is that I'm just sucking up dry my family's money...and dad out of a job isn't helping. :( However, I made it into 2nd year, which I was praying for last year. So...let's just try hard! NO more failing classes, that's for sure....

Eh, back to muscles.

YES!

I made it!! I passed!!! I'm so excited....

Now we will have 2 stress-free days....then 5 more weeks of physics. D:

I am feeling creative but I am not energetic enough to do anything. Except fly a ship. :)

MAHABHARAT and other things

Bwaaah, so I find myself stuck in St. Louis because I missed passing chemistry by .7%. I beat myself up everynow and then, thinking of what it'd be like since I would be HOME. :(

Even worse news is that summer physics ends the EXACT day of the Depeche mode concert. :( BOO HOO, I won't get to see my beautiful dave and angelic martin....gosh.

Good news is that I rejoined my Star Trek simm, where I get to play my awesomest character ever, Vivian Edwards. She's based on Shikamaru from Naruto, but is extremely quirky. :P

Speaking of manga, I'm also super excited about the funimation dub for One Piece. I'm also excited my roommate/friend Dana will be trying the series out, I hope she likes it. She liked Dragonball, and considering how the manga-ka for One Piece worships the author of Dragonball...heh heh.

Okay, biggest news yet is that I just found out about an Indian (From India) epic on par with The Iliad, Mahabharata. I found the ebook of the translation, and I'm reading it and then watching the Live action version I found on youtube. I'm really excited--live action? YES! Not to mention most of the guys in it are really cute, soo....and they're usually royalty, so double bonus. The other cool thing is that I also found the main story of Lord Rama, Ramaya? or something. :P I'm all set. The funny thing is, I heard more about the Lord rama stuff from my World Myths book I got years ago when I was in middle school....I guess it pays to read. :)

But serious news...This coming week is the last week of chemistry, and I have to kick butt on the last quiz and final exam or i"m SCREWED. So much pressure, aaaaghh....hopefully my lab points help bring up the grade. even by 3 percent is good. :(

Okay well time to go back to Indian epics.....

'tIl next time.
