Bizzaro...
Man...what a bizzare day. I woke up feeling good because I actually slept well. And i got to the bus stop early and waited for half an hour. Finding out later from a pedestrian that the buses are on strike. So I grab a cab to uni, costing me my arm and my leg. In my frustration, I forgot to put my mobile phone into my pocket and find out 5 mins before the exam that I had left my mobile phone in the cab. The exam wasnt that great, I kept getting different answers because alot of it was calculations and as most of you might know, God forgot to install MATH84 in me upon creation. I rush home, get to the phone and thank God this really nice lady picked up the phone. She actually works in North Sydney but tonight she will be staying at Star City Hotel. About 10mins walk from where I live. All is well at the moment except for my arm and my leg. I will have to try to concentrate. Two more papers tommorow and then I'm a free woman.

Miserable Smee...
Stupid paper. Its like this:
I am building a sandacstle. I dont know how to build a sandcastle. So I pile sand atop another until I have made a hill. I made a sandhill. I place a leaf at the top and declare it, The Hill Of One Who Maybe Tried But Was Really Quite Fed Up Anyways. Then this monster (think Godzilla) comes. Monster looks down upon the puny mass of sand particles. Monster squashes it. Monster delights in flicking sand into my face and rubbing, grinding it into my skin. Monster laughs maliciously and evilly prances away.
Monster's name is Biochemistry.
Monster and I will have another show-down this Thursday.
You just wait, Monster.
You just wait.

I Will Offer Up My Life...
I will offer up my life in spirit and truth
Pouring out the oil of love as my worship to You
In surrender I must give my every part
Lord receive the sacrifice of a broken heart
Jesus, what can I give
What can I bring
To so faithful a friend
To so loving a king
Savior, what can be said
What can be sung
As a praise of Your name
For the things You have done
Oh my words could not tell
Not even in part
Of the debt of love that is owed
By this thankful heart
You deserve my every breath for You've paid the great cost
Giving up Your life to death, even death on a cross
You took all my shame away, there defeated my sin
Opened up the gates of Heaven, and have beckoned me in
What can I give
What can I bring
What can I sing as an offering, Lord
- Deliriou5?

First week...
Okay. The first week is over. These should be my best papers considering I spent all of STUVAC studying for them. I have 3 days to study for my next 4 papers. I think Im quite screwed. I think I'd like your prayers/best wishes/brains.
I also think that despite feeling that some of the papers could have gone better, I reckon they could have been way worse as well. So I really must thank God. Especially my micro paper. Man....I was so under-prepared I started calling it my "Grace Paper". As in, whatever marks I get, its purely God's grace!! And whaddaya know. That turned out better than I expected. We shall see, though, when my marks come out. Maybe it wasn't up to their standard (although I certainly would give myself a pass at least).
Okay. Got to study.

An Ode To My Exams...
*dug this up from my previous blog because I was too lazy to write a new one, and had this patriotic urge to update my blog :P hehe*
An Ode to my Exams...
As exams drew closer,
My knowledge grew deeper,
The more that I know,
The more I forgo,
The more I forget,
The less my intellect,
And so why bother study,
When your brain just gets more muddy,
Stupor thickens your skull,
Social skills become dull,
Fingers are chewn to bits,
Too much info makes you schiz,
You waste your youth while you're still young,
At 19 you're already too high strung,
The madness grows, it fills the air!
You cross the line but you don't care,
I guess we do it just for the thrill,
Of being a citizen of Nerdsville.

Jars Of Clay Custom Guitar...
Stuck at home studying....got bored so I thought I'd update my blog but I didn't know what to say so I thought I'd share one of Jars Of Clay's milestones last year. Upon using Taylor guitars for years and years, they madea limited edition guitar, model JCSM (link). Not very fanciful but it sounds good apparently. Jars of Clay has been using this model on their Blood:Water mission tour. I particularly like the head and the heel, where its got the same jar symbol in red. Also, its matt and has a cut-away which was something that I really like. The wood could be a bit darker though and some fretboard decorations would've been nice. Oh well. Can't have everything :p Taylor Guitars also came out with their 30th Anniversary limited edition line. Now THATs nice fretboard deco. hehe.

I know this is not good-bye...
Last day of uni tommorow. The joy of not having anymore assignments to do is slowly being overrun by the terror of having to sit for exams. My life is one big boring heterocyclic ring full of conjugated double whammies. Sigh.
Big plus for today, I finally got a U2 album. They're better than I thought they were. Jars of Clay are fans of U2. I can see how their later styles are somewhat similiar-ish although U2 seems abit more indie and old-ish. Lovely lyrics still.
Oh well oh well.
Im abit tired I think. Cant wait for exams to finish. I cant believe I actually made it through the semester.At one point in my life I seriously thought I would go mad or commit suicide or some crazy whacky event would help me get by...but...nothing. Just God's gentle and quiet comfort and strength.
Still chugging along on dirt. haha.

CD Freebie...
Hullo.
They were sellin some second hand cds at Wentworth today (uni). So I stopped had had a little look-see and bought 3 cds + 1 single for $10 :D He gave me the single for free (a grand total of 50 cents? lol) Its cool cos 2nd hand cds always sell all the good old stuff for cheap cheap. I got All Saints, Gavin Bryars, Mighty Mighty Bosstones (single) and a TripleM alternative compilation album. The TripleM album is a double cd as well....and it was produced somewhere 97-ish so all the old-school songs are on it. Its great :) Makes me feel.....how my dad must feel when he hears all HIS old music... hahaha.
Gavin Bryars was such an impulse purchase. Remember there was a post on "Jesus Blood" by Jars Of Clay? (see Sunday, 4th April 2k4) At the bottom it said it might have been composed by Mr.Bryars and I actually saw the album but decided to buy a different one instead. He plays contemporary classic (think John Williams, Vangelis etc etc) and yea, this album was quite depressing but it serves me right for choosing the album with the title "Farewell to Philosophy". Pfft. Hahaha. Maybe I should have gotten STing + Police. Yea. Oh well. Maybe they'll be there tommorow.... hehe. Last purchase. I promise.

My Hope Is Built
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Edward Mote, 1834

My Answer...
Well despite of all the hurt,
In spite of what its worth,
I wouldnt have it any other way.
No magic in the air,
No flowers everywhere,
I wouldnt have it any other way.
Late nights in monochrome,
My life a metronome,
I wouldnt have it any other way.
My Lord and God
You are so rich in mercy
Mere words alone are not sufficient thanks
So take my life
Transform renew and change me
That I might be, a living sacrifice...
Its true im blue
Its real, surreal
Its grey but hey
I wouldnt have it any other way.

Credibility...
I finally got to watch Kill Bill the other day. Its a rather...odd.... movie. Must look up this Quentin Torotino dude. Very familiar sounding and yet cant quite remember. Anyways, whoever he is, must be one pretty twisted dude. The movie has absolutely no credibility though, and that brings it down to chick flick level, although I must say this is the first time Ive seen Lucy Liu look so pretty/cute. That was the only commendable feature.
And then I watched The Last Samurai again today. See now THAT movie has credibility. I mean, of course all those things could happen. Of course the director was being serious on portraying these honourable men's plight. Of course it wasnt some chick flick with some action/gore (supposed to cover it up as action flick?) just because it was starring the ever handsome tom cruise. Of course not. Thats because it had credibiity.
The long and short of it is this.
Movie maker, directors,shooters, filmers whatever. We'Re NoT DumB!! We can tell when the movie line is crappy, we can tell when things pop in and out of thin air. We can tell when you're covering something up, making it to be somethng its not just because of a few props. Charlie's Angels may be in the same lines of Kill Bill but thats what its supposed to be. A chick flick. Not burst arteries flooding some fancy restaurant caused by some chick that trained for one month after coming out of a 4 year coma and expecting us to classify it along with Saving Private Ryan.
I cant wait for Kill Bill 2.

Sigh...
What I lack in humility I make up with a swollen head :p
So many things are just ripping me apart, tossing me in a whirlwind towards the edge. And the only thing that keeps me standing is the thing that causes half my grief. And that thing is what the grecians may call, a protein. You wouldnt understand because nobody really ever understands me. I dont even understand myself sometimes. Most times. Why has God given me a soul that is so much more capricious than my pitiful brain can handle.
Augh the torture and the burden of being so infinitely sinful. +.+
What do I do with myself...

Those good old... brains!?
I was reading some of my old posts cos I wanted to check the date when I first started blogging (sometime this time last year). I used to be a better writer, I used to have weirder thoughts. Im abit jealous. Im abit frustrated. Im abit...more boring I guess. Sigh. All my zeal, fluttered away with the breezes of yesteryear. Anyways. Exams. Assignments. Need to work.
