How did I know someone would cosplay as wonderwoman? T_T my eyes…I prefer purely anime conventions since it means there’s less of the people who cannot pull off wonderwoman attempting to pull it off. Yeah. Amongst other things. But still awesome.

So I managed to get lost to the dome. [and got the rest of the peeps lost too. Yay!] Annoyed Yong’s cousin who was whining about the walk. But exercise is good? Although.. it is rather depressing when you realise you could walk about 50 metres away and arrive as opposed to walking 500 metres. Yeah. Acer arena [hm. Judas Priest is playing there.] =/= the dome by far. -shakes head-

Was late enough to well.. say goodbye to the Q&A with the voice actor of Axel from Kingdom Hearts =( I.e. Missed that. Blahh. Walked around a bit. Got Tina’s birthday present which makes me hide in a corner. She’ll loveee it though. Happy Birthday dear Tina =) Here’s a preview.
It’s a light novel which is a rather mini sized graphics novel. … the picture says all else…and unfortunately there was a more explicit one =.=” -cry-

Sleepy… -yawn- shall post up cosplay pictures later.
Basically, I saw Shazzie [cosplaying as a chara from air gear] but didn’t run into her ..again =.=”. There were more phoenix wright cosplayers [other than Simon's friend who cosplayed as Apollo Justice with the rabbit hair and all.] and a Wolfram and Yuuri cosplayer! Also so the Anissina one that posted on the kkm lj comm but she didn’t do any skit =( guess that was yesterday.

Replaced the copic multiliners that I really wore down in exam preparation — 0.05? Exactly how much ink can these things store anyway… There’s also a 0.03 but they barely even work. Think it was the same price for the multiliners at kinokuniya =( Though the copic marker was cheaper. Ah well. drawing time ^___^ Chatted with the oztaku people and stuffs. Constructive art criticism ftw. Some people can draw nice guns. I can’t unfortunately. Which reminds me I still have that gun-slinging chick to draw. [on the computer]

Really should get myself Vista so the drawing curves don’t refract on me :/ but that involves getting another hdd since I don’t want to kill my comp forgetting tablet drivers. That and 80gb is really running out. -sweatdrop-

*Reads email* Very fascinating news. o.O
…July 10-12. Brisbane. Ack. Um. Iono… way for my parents to kill me aye? [if I don't mention it till the night before like I tend to. =.='' Guess step a: ask for parental permission.] So 3 week from now, Thurs to Sat. … should I go or should I not? =_=” Represent SIFE? Um. um. But I’m a foolishly foolish fool. I don’t know the competition’s rules [well enough]. Gahhhh. Oh that and I have to go uni continuously for the next 18 days. =_=” [well.. that counts the 12th] Though least that gives .me something to do I guess.. Oh but then this is a useful opportunity… :/ Meeting other uni students, networking, great on the resume…[were I ever to do infs which looks fairly interesting since I wouldn't be useless over at core-fusion ] and going to Brisbane for free =P

but… can’t I just be a recluse? T_T Tech girl? Yeah. Clearly can’t be expected to talk.. right? I am not very sociable. Least of all when all I want is to sleep. Although that might be this-very-moment talking. Good night.
Guess I’ll ponder over it and reply first.
Well either way, I’d at least help them prepare since Charles can’t. -nod-
My parents are like a superego overwhelming my ego. Puppet on a string. So very invisible but so ever present.
Now I just need the parental permissions since by the time they see my grades [which are released on the Friday of the event] they’ll know I didn’t study enough and spent my time at uni doing “pointless things” [about as translatable as I can make it...] Guess I really need to hope for passes ey? In finance and accounting that is.

Killer in general and killer exam =( Maybe I ought to go over and remember what they had in the exams if they don’t have past papers.. Eg. Finance took a few questions including the tutorial question X_X type of q on shares outstanding] from the practice questions and quite a few from the …past paper floating around.. not that I would know of it *cough* [though I have answers to the textbook if anyone wants them? And as for accounting. Shared services. I believe only the salaries line was usable, though some other ones could have been used too but just too tired… first question was an exceedingly hard npv question which I spent too much time on followed by more discussion type questions on some other topic that was also hard but not worth thinking on; I’m not even sure about the multiple choice for the 2nd question :/ the 10 marker was on transfer pricing but that is hardly any good that I think I could answer that when the shared services mark was 20 marks
Haha…

Night.

One day later. =P

No more exams!
Finance sucked. Plain and simple.
Legal was trickier than expected but okay.
Forgetfulness is time’s wrinkle.
But who cares, because its over anyway~!

And I have now gotten adequate [RE: 12 hours =P Yes yes, how unhealthy. But like learnt in psychology, one's sleep debt needs renewal!] amounts of sleep.
What to do these days? I don’t know… sneak up on Tina tomorrow and say happy birthday? la.di.da ~ … she still has exams though =(

I think I’ll draw. Creativity has been going down the drain.
And read. Because I haven’t read anything for fun in ages.
And and Well…yesterday I finally managed to get that useless Nokia PC suite to install. =_=” I suppose I’ll look up applications to shove on the phone and hope I don’t get a virus =O
And watch all the anime I downloaded but haven’t really gotten the chance to watch.
And play games *___* I was up to about half way through Final Fantasy 3 before the hols ended!

And hm. Hm. Hm. *ponders* What’s a good game?
And… I should study because my inability to comprehend finance is very depressing even if it is just revision of qma and I can recognise that

And firefox 3 was released!!
…it’s much better than flock ;P

Well. Accounting must be the worst exam ever. The Adjusted R squared = 0 for the exam. That said, regression wasn’t in it. Heh. Nor was the expectancy theory. Just goal setting. Goal? To pass T__T Effort linked to performance and expectancy? None.

What was going on with half the questions? The past papers were absolutely nothing compared to it and certainly, would have been much more simpler. That dreadful q3 on shared services in particular. Oh double-u tee eff.
I am afraid to say I b’s’d half of it. Or more. And it wasn’t even a nicely formulated piece of bs. After all, spending 1/2 an hour staring blankly at the first question isn’t exactly motivating. Oh motivation. No question on that either.
What’s the chance they would scale it up? And apparently 3B is as ambiguous as 2A. Which kind of makes me glad I’m not doing management accounting 2 next semester.

Psychology was lovely. Then accounting was hell. [although I can think of 3 mistakes in the psych multiple choice but since there's 138 mc and it's worth 50% and I was sitting at 80%... eh. That said, now I hope it'll be HD material just so that I can keep my WAM to balance out two very dreadful passes [bye bye accounting credit; hello crappy outcome.]. =( ]
Next is finance and it’s my worst subject.
All held in one dreadful room two escalators up.

.. oh I hope I pass accounting and finance. Perhaps I’ll reconsider and do economics or something… or more arts.
But forget that thought. Must cram. So little sleep. I thought my 1pm-5am sleeping pattern was bad. But least then I had 8 hours of sleep. Now? I think I might have 3. And muscular dystrophy.
But if I pass finance I’ll never have to go near it again. Isn’t that motivation? Means I’ll have to pass the finals though. :/ And unfortunately I am borderline passing it at the moment.

Signed, Me. Blogging only when I ought not be.

Oh and I still have 2 more exams left so even after finance I can’t stop although legal is significantly more peaceful. [But I have to maintain that HD!!] Gah. Well. Least its words. Words are cool. Equations and formulae and so forth are from here on in, NOT.
I don’t quite understand why I do so badly at finance. A lot of the content ties in. But perhaps it is because I didn’t do the self study questions i.e. the textbook questions. That or the tutor was being unfair. I mean, twice I had to get the paper checked to get more marks because he completely ignored it. Grr. Well I suppose at least I only failed one finance quiz. Even though the weighting means that its a bite. Oh and my participation in finance is crap. I suppose that’s something I ‘failed’. Usually is when they include participation in the marks. But with 12 weeks there just isn’t time to shape up.

Have I ever mentioned [re: yes I have. numerous times.] how much I detest this 12 week system? After all, accounting crammed in way too much crap and the exam time was shortened from 3 to 2 hours.
