the little bitch that is my take home exam

I officially hate my Professor for Jus Ad Bellum because she sets an almost impossible question to do within 6 days on Darfur, no less!

And as a form of protest, here are some nonsensical lyrics that have been in my mind all week because they keep playing it in town, fucking Swedes!

Melody Club - Destiny Calling Song Lyrics

Since the day when I met you
I've been lost in desperation
It's in everything I do
Like a bittersweet sensation

I am, I am, I am, I am
I'm your destiny calling
I am, I am, I am, I am
I'm your destiny calling

Everytime when we're apart
I am all about frustration
You're the chain around my heart
You're my final destination

I am, I am, I am, I am
I'm your destiny calling
I am, I am, I am, I am
I'm your destiny calling

Oh, you can reach me
No one else can chain me like you do
Ohh, you can reach me
Everything just leads me back to you, yeah

I am, I am, I am, I am
I'm your destiny calling
I am, I am, I am, I am
I'm your destiny calling

It's a cool wind blowing in
It's the time when leaves start falling
All the things that might have been
I can hear a silent calling

I am, I am, I am, I am
I'm your destiny calling
I am, I am, I am, I am
I'm your destiny calling

Helena Paparizou - Heroes

Desire, the fire, it's haunting you
The passion, and action, you take me through
I'm living it, I'm loving it
This is where the dreams come alive
A shooting star in the night

Para siempre
Viva los heroes

To all the heroes, the rush of emotions
In this high and low, ah-ay-ah let's go
To all the heroes, we celebrate our nations
Let the whole world know, ah-ay-ah let's go
To all the heroes.

Emotions, are rushing out of control
A notion, touching my body and soul
Can't fight it, can't hide it
Everything I'm feeling inside
Reflects the gold in your eyes

To all the heroes...

Viva los heroes, the rush of emotions
In this high and low, ah-ay-ah let's go
Viva los heroes, we celebrate our nations
Let the whole world know, ah-ay-ah let's go
Viva los heroes

Para siempre
Viva los heroes

To all the heroes, the rush of emotions
In this high and low, ah-ay-ah let's go
To all the heroes, we celebrate our nations
Let the whole world know, ah-ay-ah let's go
To all the heroes.

Ok, now I've got to go do my introduction. Die bitch!

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Lynnie!

I miss you in Sweden! (: Here's to more studying at Kallang Macs, online shopping, MSNing during tutorials, and maybe one day, we could fulfill our long standing but never materialising mahjong date! I love you!



Have fun, and good luck for your exams! Posted by Picasa

Ping-Pong in Sweden

Today, Anais and I played mini ping-pong in the kitchen and we ended up playing many variations of ping-pong. Instead of playing with a bat, we used the palm of our hands until it got really red. Then, we decided to play ping-pong without the table, in the cooking area. So the ball bounced off the cabinets and into the sink, and we chased it all around the kitchen (even in the fucking dirty dustbins, don't ask) until we got really tired and decided that it was time to do some readings.

Speaking of readings, I must complain about my current course. I'm doing special topics of Public International Law, and the textbooks are really boring. And they didn't stock enough textbooks in the three book shops in Uppsala, so the Swedish students were really worked up about not having a textbook. And one of the authors has to use really fancy language when talking about law, so I'm using dictionary.com almost every 2 seconds. Like who uses abjure, predilections, proscription, soi-disant, recrudescence and all these archaic words now?

And I'm hooked on youtube. And Goong. After hearing all the good people back home talk about how they are hooked on Goong, I started to watch it and now I can't stop. Previously, I was watching Bleach and after the Soul Society Arc it got a bit boring and I didn't watch further. Then, I turned to Love Contract which I must say is mind numbingly boring even with the hottie in the show so now I really. must. stop. watching. Goong.

The weather is getting pretty sunny now and I am really really glad that it isn't snowing because it is just such a pain the arse to trek through the sludge for 4km everyday and get frostbite. And all the damn time I can't stop eating and it is bad, mainly for 3 reasons. First, I don't really exercise much because it is so fucking cold. Secondly, it costs money to snack, and I need to save some money for travelling. Thirdly, I can't fit into all my jeans because the zip won't close and I can't wear black gym pants to school because I would freeze to death in the cold.

So, besides getting really fat, watching alot of shows on youtube and sleeping alot, I guess life here is pretty mundane. It really isn't as exciting as writing a 10, 000 word essay or studying for the exams, so be thankful you are not getting wrinkly skin from the cold weather here in Sweden.

Cheers.
