i'm a little teapot

1. So. We started Management Dynamics today. I think I would have appreciated the class more if a.) I hadn't been in excruciating pain the entire morning, because getting migraines is a bitch; b.) I hadn't been pissed off since last night about the fact that they didn't give us guidelines for writing the damn case report, that they just threw the book and handouts at our heads and yelled, "JUST DO IT!" (metaphorically speaking, of course); and c.) our professor wasn't so old and lectures like she's talking to a goddamn baby with a goddamn fake lisp.

2. I've been watching back episodes of So You Think You Can Dance, and I realized that Cat kept on emphasizing that people were running on no more than 6 hours of sleep during Vegas week, season after season.

Now, I consider sleeping more than 4.5 hours a luxury. A luxury, I tell you, something I only reserve for weekends and on days I'm feeling particularly shitty.

To be fair, SYTYCD is a dance show, and there is the implication that dancing is more strenuous than studying/doing homework/bullshitting/plotting world domination through the power of my sheer awesomeness and therefore dancers need more rest than me.

I, however, beg to differ. Being a student and a future tyrant at the same time is exhausting, yo.

3. I miss writing random shit and posting it for all and sundry to see here on LJ. Writing notes on FB is not the same at all.

4. Holy smokes, Batman. Reading over what I just wrote, I realize that a.) run-on sentences and I get along like a house on fire; b.) I curse more than I used to, goddamn; and c.) my love for list just keeps growing and growing and growing. Somebody save me from myself. Please.

I was reading Dean/Cas handprint!kink fic, when I realized that I don't remember if Dean still has the scar in his hot smexy dream in 6x03. So I re-watched that part and the handprint wasn't there. Neither was his tattoo. WTF?

SPN's lack of continuity pisses me off. I get that they wanted a 'reset' and distance themselves from S5, but this? This is just plain laziness. Argh.

Now I'm craving retcon fic.

In other news, I'll be having my skills exam for cardiovascular and pulmonary PE in a few hours. I can perform the PE just fine, it's the theory behind it that I'm worried about. Blegh.

Somehow, I don't think this was what Dean Winchester had in mind when he said he didn't want to be a 'meat suit':

I'm not emotionally prepared for class tomorrow. Also: why do US shows have to start around the time when I'd need to study for this module's finals? T__T

Because I couldn't get home yet as the typhoon season decided to start off with a bang, here be a meme. Gakked from toi_marguerite and xenokattz:

Behind the Wisteria Grove, chapter 6




For 30 Kisses: Shunsui and Nanao, chapter 3




And finally: Tangled Worlds, prologue




Apparently, I don't have an original writing style. Haha. Makes me want to write fic again xD

I kind of don't want to watch Supernatural's season 6 anymore. ( spoilery stuff )

I have a feeling that the show would've ended with a bang if things went according to Kripke's plan. And I want to watch that ending. I want to watch the brothers Winchester cockblock the most incestuous and homoerotic and epic showdown between Heaven and Hell since the dawn of Creation. I want to watch Sam and Dean wresting control from Lucifer and Michael and jumping into the pit together after sharing Tears of Emo and Angsty Manpain and followed by an exchange or two of bitch-n'-jerk.

I want the show to end before coming down from jumping over that shark way back in season 4.

Finally found a copy of Ten-Inch Hero. I'll admit that I watched it only because Jensen Ackles was there (such a pretty, pretty man *sigh*).

It was an okay movie. The major problem I have with it is Priestly's ending--I mean, what's up with that? I thought the girl was going to look past the mohawk and the facial piercings, what with the film's message being 'don't judge a book by its cover', but sadly, I was mistaken. It could have been a great film if they didn't give Priestly a makeover, but as it is, I was very disappointed.

7/10

Since when was the Philippines not considered part of Southeast Asia? I've been making a o___O face at Star World's Wikipedia page for the past few minutes. Oh, Internet. *rolls eyes*

This thread over at PinoyExchange amuses me. It's more than 4 years old, but the intellectual posturing among these people had me in stitches. xD

In other news, I'm not feeling that I'm supposed to be on break AT ALL. Thanks a lot, thesis paper and theology orals! *glares*

I've decided to re-watch all three seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender, which explains the recent spate of A:TLA fics on my ff.net faves list. I've always been 'meh' on the subject of ships in Avatarverse, but I'm really starting to hanker for Zuko/Katara at the moment. Let's see if I'll swing back to Zuko/Mai before my brain decides to latch on to Zuko/Mai/Katara as an OT3. (Oh, wait...too late! Damn.)

Also, I've been reading so much fic over the break, I've almost hit the 300-mark on my ff.net 'favorite stories' list. xD And that's not even counting the ones I've read that aren't hosted at there...as well as the ones I've read but haven't favorited.

My eyes are tired. T____T

...for the last time. This would be my last semester as an undergrad, folks! I'm getting pre-graduation jitters right now. Gaaaaaaahhhh.

Anyway, here's my sucktastic schedule. I expect my classes to be total snoozefests, on account of the fact that my powers of concentration are at their peak from 12 midnight to 12 noon. Any time other than that, you'll be talking to a slow-witted zombie. No, really. And that's why I scheduled in some time to sleep and eat, as you can see:

( cue huge-ass version of my schedule )

Tell me if we're classmates, or if we have the same breaks! :D I won't change this anymore, on account of the fact that I already paid my tuition earlier.xD
