Well, yay. My midsession exams are over! =D
On Tuesday? Accounting was… hard. 40 questions in 1 hour wasn’t particularly good. I know I got 3 questions wrong because they repeated the exact same question section from a past paper. Of course, that past paper wasn’t released publicly >_> Geez. Talk about unfairness. Well… moving away from thaat.

Friday was Microeconomics and QMA. Meep. Two exams.
Microeconomics? That was a cram session. The one I worried most about yet appears to be okay. At least.. in comparison to accounting. I feared that the rather minimal amount of tutorial work wasn’t enough.. but I guess my lecture notes were good enough that I understood most of it..

Quantitative Methods A aka. financial maths? Well I hope it follows my pattern in the quizzes. Which is getting only one question wrong or full marks xD

And yesterday, after all the exams.. my net was down for 20 hours till about 11 now. =( Aww.

“They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.”

ANZAC Day. For most Australians, its just a day to relax. A public holiday to get away from school/uni/work; or in my case, certain IR lectures which just so happen to be about war and war tactics of the Cold War yawn. Suppose that follows Does it even have any meaning now other than the old folks marching through to commemorate the dead soldiers from war eons go?

I suppose, there was a post at a forum just makes me question why as well. ANZAC day is indeed greatly focused on WWI. But that stage is over already… the last active soldier died two years ago. I suppose there’s now two perspectives. Ironically, my IR essay was on WWI, so in my post reply I covered some bits of it.

I suppose, Australia participated in the war only because Australia wanted to support Britain because it was considered the mother country back then rolls eyes Also there was all the fear of the German “huns”, and etc. etc. Wouldn’t mind a republic nowadays. Of course, then it’ll be a USA wannabe. Guess you lose out both ways.

World War I started because Germany was fearful of the imperialism of Britain, and France; and the fact that all the world’s resources were being centralised upon Britain, France, USA which was already becoming the economic power that it was today, and also there was fear of the growth of Russia and Japan after the Russo-Japanese war. It was a failure of the alliance systems originating from the balance of power pacts in the Westphalia treaty — but you don’t need to know that.

Austria-Hungary’s archduke Franz Ferdinand got killed by a Serbian nationalist. Austria was allied to Germany and appealed to them for help. Serbia was allied to Russia.

Thus Germany declares war on Russia and then on France because Russia and France were allies. Germany starts off the war to fend off France by invading Belgium to read France due to the Schlieffen Plan.

Belgium was neutral territory and a treaty made it allied to Britain who then came in. And from that, Britain made its colonies get involved and Australia was just colonised around a century before then and had lots of dependence on Britain.

EDIT: Since I’m too busy cramming… here’s some new procr-art-ination. ShiniOMAKE =D
Made completely vector art…yea.

just because…here’s what I think Darren Hayes’ Who Would Have Thought lyrics are. The song is up on his site http://darrenhayes.com along with an awesome animated video and I just found the song and especially its lyrics so brilliant and it kind of makes me cry watching the animation.

Who Would Have Thought – Darren Hayes/Guy Chambers
Nobody told you that a heart is like a deep,
Deep freeze.
So many lies, so much of it broken.
Nobody told you deep within a well so cavernous.
That maybe I could shed some light on.

Who would have thought it could be amazing?
Who would have thought the tiny courageous?
Who would have thought that love so belated
Could save me?
And bring me back to you?

Nobody told you there’d be days of silence that no
one heard.
A river swells and overwhelms you.
Nobody told you deep within a heart so ravenous,
That maybe I could spare a beat for.

Who would have thought it could be amazing?
Who would have thought the tiny courageous?
Who would have thought that love so belated
Could save?
And bring me back to you?

I had to find you had to let you know that you
Weren’t alone, that we didn’t make the rules.
I had to find you had to get right back to you.

I had to find you had to let you know that you
Weren’t alone, that we didn’t make the rules.
I had to find you had to get right back to you.
It’s always been you.
Now tell me.

Who would have thought it could be amazing?
Who would have thought the tiny courageous?
Who would have thought that love so belated
Could save me?
And bring me back to you?
