Learning by Heart!
Filed Under Daily
I started to learn my Law material by heart. The teachers kept on saying the test is not all about memory, I think it is bullshit. In law, there is a huge part of memorization that is required. There is no other way around it. Without the basic and fundamental knowledge of the cases and the rules, one would be completely useless!
This is something I am very good at. I used to learn many things by heart. I learned most of my presentations by heart. Let’s see if it will help this time. One week left to digest these rules and cases!

Strange events!
Filed Under Daily
On Tuesday, I lost 5 GBP because of the cashier’s mistake. On Thursday, a different cashier gave me an extra 5 GBP in addition to the cash difference for no reason…I just smiled at these weird events.
Today, I was invited to a surprise Birthday party. I did not know anyone at the bar. It was crowded, it was dark and after 5 minutes, I left. The guest of honor and the person who invited me have not arrived yet. I then took the trash out and ran back to my room. On my way I almost ran into the guest and Malinda Twice!!! I managed somehow to avoid them and I could hear their voice each time!!!
…working on my last year exams now!

Perfect Timing!
Filed Under Daily
After cleaning up my FLickr account. I went to clean up pictures on the Hiking Group Site. I was surprised to discover that the main page is finally displaying pictures from this year’s hikes. Consequently many of my pictures were displayed since I was the most regular photographer there. My pictures are the nicest of course!
I had a short night but I am feeling alright. I forced myself not to have a power nap during the day in order to get back to the regular healthy cycle. I finished Trade Mark Law exam and I am working on Intellectual Property Law. Only 11 days left to brush up on the exams. I started to target the most common questions and to work specifically on these.
Kat is back, we are 3 now in the dorm. Eveything seems back to normal in town and more students are returning each day. Amy is expecting to leave Greece on the 13th and she will go to Germany with her BF. She will probably stay there for few days before going back to Manchester. I really hope the canadian girl, Sharada will come back very late. Finally, the Geogian guy, Larsha is so quiet that I rarely see him so I do not care!

Good Recovery!
Filed Under Daily
It feels good! It is recommended to avoid any contact with me when I am hungry and when I have not slept well. I usually loose complete control over my mind at these crucial moments. I always eat at regular hours so it is easy for me to control my "hunger mood". It is harder for me to control my "sleep mood" because I have sleeping disorders. I’ve had a hard time sleeping since I was born.
This vacation period is boring. Nothing is happening and I am tired of waiting for something new to come. It sucks to be in a transition time.

Such a Mess!
Filed Under Daily
Sunday night, I tried a sleeping pill, not the herbal ones, but the real one. I got them for only 3.5 GBP in the pharmacy. I will never try again. It was like a drug, it made me feel good and very dizzy but it did not generate a good sleep at all. I was all cranky the day after and extremely tired like if I had a hangover. All my muscles were sore.
I was so pissed on Monday about my Superannuation that I gave them a call….It was useless! I just have to wait…fuckers! I also checked my money and I scared myself a little bit. I did forget to take into account the fact I already paid 700 GBP as first housing payment…Such a relief after!
All these events have generated two horrible nights of sleep consecutively. I am so tired now. I am looking forward to the sleep tonight. On a good side, the Bristish currency has dropped so dramatically that it is now back to its level from July 2008, which gave me an excess of 350 GBP if I do a transfer right now from AUD to GBP. I am happy that I do not need Euros because that would hurt badly since the Euro is reaching an all-time-high peak and it is not showing any sign of depreciation in the near future compare to AUD.
Funny thing is I swam extremely fast today because I was angry…Swimming is such a good relief when it comes to anger management!

14 Days Left!
Filed Under Daily
Before the big exam day on 19th of January! I would be so relieved after that. I finished answering last year exam on Trade Mark Law. It was not too hard. I do not feel like sharing my answers with anyone though and surely not with the Indian/British girl who wrote to me. She did not bother me again since last time I have not answered to her email.
I realized also that I did not had many nice pictures from my hiking in the UK, what a pity since I have spent a lot of time! There are a lot of slow swimmer this morning. Luckily they stayed in the medium lane. I could pass most of them easily every 4 laps. I guess it is new year’s resolution time!

Cleaning-up
Filed Under Daily
I deleted many secondary pictures on my Flickr account. I wanted to wipe out the ones that have no real interest to me and the ones that are of lesser quality. That was a big clean-up since I used to keep too many pictures of people I do not even know and I shall probably never meet them again! Life has been so quiet the last 4 days for me that I did not find anything to write on my blog. Everything should resume to normal tomorrow. Slowly but surely people started to come back. The early birds are here for one reason: exam preparation.
Very good and unusual movie to watch: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button!

2009 First Post!
Filed Under Daily
Christmas and New Year Eve were boring but relaxing. The advantage of doing nothing is that you can actually relax. I did answer half of the Trade Mark Law exam from last year. I was really cold yesterday and today. The city is all white due to snow. I cooked an Indian and a Chinese dish. They were delicious.
Swimming will resume normally tomorrow! Weeeeeeeee!

New Face for a New Year!
Filed Under Daily, Nikon D200
I bought a tripod which allows me to take my own ID picture. Now I can say I have tried every single type of hair, from military short style to long hippie style. It was hard to have long hair. A lot of maintenance especially for a long distance swimmer but I made it! It is not that bad and I kind of like it. It is hard to see myself with short hair again. It does not grow longer for some reason. The chlorinated water keeps on destroying the end and i have to pull lots of tangled hair out after the swim.

That seems to be all I need as sleep. If I have a power nap after my swim, I will have a hard time sleeping at 10 pm. Today was nice, good swim with very fast swimmers, I do not know where they come from but it seems there is a surge of excellent swimmers the last two days. I bet they come from the squads that miss their normal training schedule with the holiday special schedule. We share nicely the lanes together and no one is passing or getting passed by the others. Very ordered and good techniques!
Back to my last year exam preparation!
