Gallivanting

If you try to type while listening to “California”, you’ll soon discover that the only sentence your mind is able to process is “If you try to type while listening to ‘California’, you’ll soon discover that the only sentence your mind is able to process is ‘If you try to type while listening to “California”…etc.

Really long story short: It’s Difficult. So what does that mean? Headphones and studying = not such a great idea.

Yes, it’s time for Installment Number Three of the week that is: Exam. Sleep deprived and mildly grumpy, we enter week nine of this term, ready for another rip-roaring five days of Rexvor Namralos (gibberish for “I can’t think of an adjective”).

The days leading up are fully filled with frantic frenzies of study, intense neurological abuse and lack of sleep. By the time you emerge, your BIOS (Basic Input Output System) will be completely equipped with (what should be) accrued knowledge in all matters spectrum, hopefully having not gone off on a tangent during study time.

[Omit 73 pages of confused, subject-related rambling here]

So before wading back into my schoolbag, I just want to note some unlikely similarities between petrol and sleep in year 12:

· The year progresses, and they both become less affordable.
· They are both a form of fuel.
· You can run on empty for a few days, but it will really mess with your mechanics.
· You can only have a specific amount of either. To much or two little is bad

It's almost as good as "'D*mn!' Said Carrot, a difficult linguistic feat." Though I thought that I might have already used that on a previous post, so chose a different one :P

Well, one needs to delve into the world of Terry Pratchett during times of extreme mental endurance...though that last comment may be a bit void, seeing as I'm on my blog right now :P
