hello guys, i'm back from the land of the dead!

well actually that's not completely accurate, because i think "land of the dead" would more appropriately refer to the place i'll be in -after- i get my marks back. and i'm guessing you can't die twice, so we'll just have to save the best for last.

yesterday's bio paper completely stank. i feel 100% cheated because after mugging ALL of this year's syllabus for 5 hours straight right before the paper, guess what came out? TWENTY marks on mendellian genetics, which i haven't so much as smelt since it was taught last year. that's right TWENTY fcking PERCENT of the paper was on the single j1 topic which i didn't study. how fcking fair huh! really, i had no idea it was going to be tested, if not i would have at least read through the chapter, since i do not believe in going into exams when you're completely unprepared for it.

so really, yesterday was hugely pissifying. in fact, when i flipped open section B and saw the huge long question on mendellian genetics, i thought to myself, 'hey, this can't be right! this isn't supposed to come out! surely i have the wrong paper!' but, as luck would have it, things only got worse, because when i flipped to the next page, i discovered yet ANOTHER long question on mendellian genetics. like what the fck was that! so i frantically flipped back to the front, knowing that i would not see the words "JC 2 Common Test" printed there, because surely, surely there was no way in hell that such suay-ness could befall me. well, i guess i was wrong. because not only did the bio paper consist mostly of the bloody j1 stuff that i thought was unimportant, it also did not test the j2 topics which i spent the whole time mugging. so all my knowledge on how Na+ activation and inactivation voltage gates open and close was wasted. i just hate it when life does this to you.

anyway physics was at least marginally better. more doable than any rj exam i've sat for so far, though that isn't saying much. maybe it's because i was up at 4 to practice questions. yup, i mean 4 in the morning. in fact, i jumped out of bed at 3.55, 5 whole minutes before my alarm clock went off. my biological clock must be freakily precise. or maybe this is just what the common tests do to you- on wednesday i woke up a 5am muttering about how "peritoneal dialysis" works for kidney failure and reciting the process of selective reabsorption in the proximal convoluted tubule. oh, and here's another no brainer- guess which other major topic didn't come out for the bio exam? that's right- the kidney!

oh, and in other news, i just caught Miss Congeniality 2, and it's a million times worse than the prequel. don't even bother watching it. the only good parts of the show are the scenes with the cute nerdy agent (Enrique Murciano). in fact, the funniest part of the show was probably when gracie's gay stylist says this during a briefing at the FBI headquarters:

"debriefing? i haven't had a good debriefing in a long time! though really, i must say i'm more of a boxers guy."

hurrhurr.
