School-schmool

Hey, would you look at that - it's less than a month since my last post. That hasn't happened in a while. Actually, the reason I am bothering to bother you with my rants is because I am sitting in my politology class. It lasts an hour and a half and I still have 45 minutes left.

Why are you blogging during class, you ponder? Well, IT'S BORING AS HELL, that's why. I've been going to school for almost a month now and the classes have not gotten any more interesting. In fact, I think they have reached the level of most boring classes of all time. It's so boring that I can't even try to listen to the lecturers 'cause I'd fall asleep.

This has led me to the extremes - I have to carry my 500kg laptop with me every day so I could play card games and such on it. This keeps me from falling asleep. I'm getting really good at Solitaire, my win rate is over 60%. I'm also working on beating Minesweeper at expert level. Closest I've gotten so far is 5 mines left.
I also spend quite a lot of time surfing online but the wifi here is awful. It works for about 4 minutes and then doesn't work for 5 mins. I tried to play WoW once... I managed to kill one mob and then the next one nuked me 'cause the school wifi was being useless as usually.

I'm really hungry right now. Since the cafeteria here is super expensive, I don't know why they think poor students can afford 70 kroon lunches, I ran to the supermarket next to the school and got a sandwich and a sprite. That was 5 hours ago. Now I'm hungry again. :(

Today is the longest day of the week. 9 AM till 6 PM. *dies* And of course the day is filled with joyous lectures like politology, law and management...

At least we don't have public administration today. Last lesson I found out that the porridge-faced teacher not only speaks like his mouth is full of porridge, he also writes like his hand is full of porridge.



And the worst thing is that he loves to enhance his writings with arrows and circles and such and well, that doesn't result in a very clearly readable blackboard.

We had to write 3 essays for last week. Actually, one was more of a term paper. That was quite horrible, if I may say so. Now I have 2 essays left to do for next week. Oh the joy of being in college...

I'm still really hungry. I think I'll have to buy a chocolate bar or something to make it home before I starve.

Um... I have the feeling that this post is really random. Hm. Well, then I'll leave you with this random song.

Well...

I'm really not much of a blogger, am I? :D What's it been? Two months? Three? Lol.
Actually, my life is just really boring. But I suppose I should write here every once in a while.

Kay. First of all, I'm in college now! High school is finally over! No more gym classes! Woo!
However, so far college has been really lame. I'm studying International Relations (don't ask why - I have no idea). I didn't get to pick any classes myself for the first semester and they're mostly realllly boring. Like fall asleep in the middle of class boring.
My public administration teacher talks like his mouth is full of porridge.
The Law teacher speaks CRAZY fast. He says we need to learn to write really fast so he goes like, "Law is... scblurebölsadjeitscjbalfnsalkgasklfaöfaslfawlkfrnalfsjb".
Could you repeat that please?
"I said... asklfaöfaslfawlk."
My English teacher can't really speak English.

But I do like the German teacher. During our first class he had this long discussion with himself about his life. He even made a timeline of his life on the blackboard. But I did learn a little German. djeeaar ljööve means "lion". :)

*~*~*~*

What else... oh yeah. Failed my driving test. AGAIN.
GOSH.
The examiner tells me to turn left. I turn left. Then he says that I missed this sign:


OMFGWTFBBQWTH?????????

WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME LIKE THIS??
WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS????

I AM NOT THAT BAD AT DRIVING!

...

I hate my life.

It's like he has to try to trick me into making a mistake. I was driving perfectly fine but he just HAS to fuck it up. What a bastard. I should have him assassinated but I don't want to waste my money on him. I guess I'll have to take the test again, get my license and then run him over . MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! YES!

*cough*

/madness

*~*~*~*~*~*

On to something more pleasant... Twilight!

The last book Breaking Dawn was released August 2nd.
So, August 2nd, I'm supposed to be going to my cousin's wedding, but I'm like, no, I have to go buy Breaking Dawn first!
So, I go to the book store, they say that it hasn't arrived yet, but it'll be there in about two days.
Anyway, I'll skip ahead a bit - September the frickin seventh. No Breaking Dawn.
I gave in a few weeks ago and downloaded the book. It took me 30 seconds - finding a download site, downloading the file and opening it. A month of waiting in agony... and then I have it right in front of me in just 30 seconds. Damn.

Well, now I've read it through (twice). It was insane. But AWSOME. Usually a book has maybe one or two OH. MY. GOD. moments but this book was full of them. So much unexpected stuff happened... it was wonderful! :D

Unfortunately, more than half of the next book in the saga, Midnight Sun, was leaked online and now Stephenie Meyer, the author, said that she does not know if she wants to finish it. *major despair*

I am an addict. I can't live withour Twilight anymore. XD I need that next book Stephenie! I can imagine how terrible it must feel... she's been working on it for severeal years and she's really excited about it but then some idiots leak some half finished version online... damn.
I really hope that when the movie premiers, she'll see how many fans love Twilight and she'll want to finish it.

Ah, glad to get that off my chest.

*~*~*~*~*~*

I just remebered - I finally have Guitar Hero III !! I waited for it half the summer and now I have it right here in my room. I love it! I've already completed it on easy, and now I'm working on medium. And I've discovered some great old songs through it.

*~*~*~*~*

Just checked my last post, it's really been a while. Metallica! I saw 'em in Riga. What can I say? It rained a lot. We ran around in the rain for like 5 minutes trying to find the guy whol sold rain capes. But when we finally gave up and when to the stadium to buy Battery enery drinks, the dude offers us rain capes. WIN! That was lucky. :D

The show itself was pretty good. But it was just so quiet. I was comparing it to the show in Tallinn and man, that was LOUD. My parents who were like a 20 minute drive away could hear it.

So it was nice hearing their songs again but the concert in Tallinn was way better.

I also went see Snoop Dogg. Well, actually back in like april 2007 I bought tickets to Missy Elliott but they kept delaying that show. Finally they said that Missy was cancelling her tour and that Akon was coming here instead. Kay, fine. Then they announced that Snoop Dogg was gonna also going to be here with Akon. Sweet. But finally, a few days before the show, Akon cancelled for "personal reasons". In jail again?
Anyway, Snoop Dogg on Lauluväljak - WIN. It was awesomeee! Hell-motherfuckin-yeeaaah! ;D It was definitely better than 50 Cent's concert.

Which reminds me that the VMAs are tonight at around 3AM. I won't stay up to watch them, I'll prolly download the video later but it's sounding pretty interesting...

Yeah. I think I'm done here for now.

So um... later, dudes!

Why hello there.

Nice to meet you. I'm the person who used to post here but then forgot about her blog got really busy for over two moths. :D

Could you imagine that I finished high school? Hallelujah! My exams went rather well, if anyone is interested.
Graduation was... something. I got to listen to two hours of speeches by some bald men. I also got my diploma. My parents also got a diploma - for "raising a good daughter". WTF? Do my parents really need specially honoring because I managed not to have any 3s or 2s on my report card?
God, my school must really be filled with idiots if they give diplomas to the parents...

Yeah... I graduated with a class of mostly idiots. Actually, 4 idiots in my class didn't graduate at all. Well, farewell to them and I hope they enjoy their journey on the failboat.

I've also been checking out colleges. I don't know what I want to study. I've never had some dream career... It would be awesome if I'd known since I was 3 that I wanted to be a fireman or a tractor driver (like my little bro).
The psychologist at our school made us take some career tests and shizz. She said that since I'm "artistic, entrepreneurial (lol, that sounds funny in English), and communicative" the perfect job for me would be... *drumroll* a potter! And I could own my own little pottery so I could be an artistic enteprenuer and also communicate with people. Wow, what an ingenious idea.
Fuck that, I'm not going to be making pots for the rest of my life.

The idea of starting my own company is tempting though. I have many crazy ideas... I have to pick one and perfect it and maybe it would work out well and I could be a billionaire in a few years!
Yeeeaaah. I really keep things realistic, huh?

Anyways, I sent applications to three colleges. I plan on studying business-related stuff.
Um.... that was pretty specific.
gah, i don't know. If college sucks, then I'll just quit after a semester or two and move to Singapore and open a beach bar or something.

Well, education sure is a depressing topic so let's move on.

Musically - this summer's looking to be the best of my whole life. First of all - Franz Ferdinand! They played at Õllesummer, so there were a lot of drunk fat men around but the ticket was super cheap.
Ever since I heard Take Me Out, I've liked FF. I'm still not very familiar with all their songs but I have 8 songs in my music library, which I love!! I hadn't listened to half of them a lot, but the day before the concert I listened to them on repeat for so many hours and I fell soooo in love.... And the show itself was awesome! The guys have so much energy and few times I actually lol-ed because they were so funny and cute jumping around the stage... awww. :D Man, it rawked so hard. I loved it.

But the next day.... wait, there's a longer story to this.

So I was driving to the middle of nowhere with Blonde Mafia and another classmate for our graduation party (which I forgot to write about - it rained a lot, and there was a watermelon involved) and Blonde Mafia saw this advertisement for Knockout Festival in Riga. There were some pretty big names included so we were all interested in going.
But then we kinda forgot about it for a long time. Until a few days before the FF concert that is. So we kinda bought the festival tickets and bus tickets a day before the real thing.

Ears ringing, I woke up after FF and got on the bus to Riga. Dude, that bus was pimpin! It had these huge leather seats like in the business class in airplanes... and there was a stuardess or whatever and she offered us plaids. PLAIDS!!! :D
The trip to Riga went veeery smoothly.

The festival took place on Zakusala island in the middle of Riga. We ran across some highway twice to get to the bridge to the island. We didn't see the tunnel that went under the highway to the bridge. Blonds lol...

The island was like a field filled with hay. And there were three white tents where different DJs played at all times and then there was a pretty big main stage with some shiny lights.
So the place looked crappy but the music was really good. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of house and electro and stuff, I liked listening to it.

The best part of the night was prolly Joey Negro. I only knew one song by him but that didn't matter, because in that small white tent filled with hay and people, everything sounded great. I pretty much danced for 2 hours straight until it was Dennis Ferrer's turn.

Then prolly came the worst part of the night. I started feeling really sick. I think I have a problem with speakers that are too loud, maybe they like make my internal organs fibrillate too much or something XD but I wasn't feeling good at all.

So from about 3AM to 4AM I just sat under some bush, listened to Franz Ferdinand on my iPhone, and tried my hardest not to throw up. It was cold and the music was just too loud... it was depressing, not being able to find some peace and quiet. I couldn't go anywhere without the noise blaring in my ears and people jumping around. I was seriously considering getting the hell out of there and finding a hotel room. But our bus was supposed to leave at 7AM so I decided to hang on.

I'd spent all my latvian lats so I couldn't even buy water and I was dying of thirst. I begged a few people to exchange a few euros for lats but they all refused. But this guy Janis bought me a bonaqua. Awww. I was impressed that he spoke English! All day we'd been asking people for s
directions to Zakusala but not one person understood English. But he did! So he helped me survive the last hour. It was a little after 5AM when the last DJ left so we cleaned up in the little fountain they had at the festival and headed to the bus station.

I drank some weird coffee-like vanilla drink and it burned my tongue. Ow.
We washed ourselves in the bus station's toilet. We were like hobos XD It was then when I really noticed how filthy the festival had been. I was covered in dirt. After I brushed my hair, my comb looked like I had cleaned it with mud. And when I blew my nose, this black stuff came out. Cute. I'm lucky I didn't get asthma. XD
The ride home went by really quickly since I was asleep most of the way.

At home I couldn't sleep because every time I laid down, there was this mad loud ringing in my ears. Much worse than the ringing I've ever had after other concerts. When I concentrated on it, I realized it was as if I was standing next to a foghorn. So I gave up and stayed up and went to sleep when it got dark. I had to listen to my iPod to drown out the ringing but I did manage to fall asleep.

And I still have Metallica and Akon+Snoop Dogg and possibly Sean Kingston, R.E.M. and We Are the Scientists left on the menu. Nice. 8)

And after that I've just chilled. I'm still completely obsessed with Twilight, which I don't think I have mentioned here until now. Well, it's a book series and my new replacement for Harry Potter. They are romantic action horror novels about vampires and werewolves and also some normal people and well, they are very compelling. I read the first three books in less than a week and now I'm waiting for the last book of the series which will be out in August! And while waiting, I have read and re-read the three books about 4 times each.

I've also been listening to book two of the Wheel of Time series. I read the first book a few years ago and started waiting for the sequel to be translated but since it seems like that is not going to happen, I downloaded the audiobook version of book 2 and I'm listening to that...

I'm super tired of typing already but I just have to say this. I have a new laptop! Praise the gods! It has 160GB of free space!!!! My old computer had about 100MB of free space last time I checked. Now I just have the trouble of getting all my music, pictures and files and sims and everything to this laptop... shall be fun.
The only thing that sucks is that Microsoft Word and Excel are in Estonian. o_o I will die a slow death if I ever have to use them for more than 20 minutes.


K, peace, I'm out.

Oh hai

Ehehehee... let's pretend I haven't been ignoring this blog for like a month, kay? :D

It's a horrible time of the year because of the exams. They suck! Thank god I only have one more to do - history.
Yesterday I had the mock exam... today I went to class and the teacher said that she hadn't checked it yet so we could check it together. Bleh D:
So I had to watch her draw all these red lines over the paper because most of the stuff I'd written was kinda stupid. The worst was an exercise where I had to connect American presidents with certain events. There were six presidents and 8 events. Guess how many I got right? One.
It was like choosing lottery numbers. I got 0 points for that exercise. D:
The only good thing she said was how I analyzed a caricature, she said it was perfect. :D Go me!
In the end I got 60/100 points so I'm quite alright with it. I didn't really study for it and hopefully I can get at least as many points at the real exam.

Wow I have so many interesting things to write here.

NOT! Mwahaha.

[insert clever title here]

Doo de dum.

I really don't have much to write about. But I'm gonna force myself to think of something...

Hmmm... so I've got an English exam tomorrow. Boring. Yawn. I'd like to think I'm smart enough to get maximum points, but you never know, ya know.

Jannnooo.

My warlock is level 61. High five! I'm doing my epic mount quest.... last part. Need like 300 gold to buy some magic powder to summon a huge magic horsie and then kill it. Easy peasy pumpkin peasy pumpkin pie motherfucker, in the words of Gerard Way.


Nice innit? One of those cutiepies will soon be mine... Mwahaa. Ha.


Oh yes, I downloaded Cubase, a program for producing music. It's prolly nothing near what Timbaland is using but hey, I'm a beginner, believe it or not, and it will have to do. I made a nice 15-sec thingabob today, I think it's quite catchy actually...

Maybe if I ever make a whole song I'll post it here. But don't hold your breath. 'Cause you'll die. Ha.

me = fail @ estonian

Daaaaaaaaaammmnnnn.

Can you guess I'm not too happy?

Damn right I'm not.

I had my exam in Estonian today. You know, the whole write 4 pages in 6 hours thing. Only it was for real this time.

The mock exam went by quickly and painlessly and I got a really high score.

It was weird 'cause usually I really struggle with my essays.

But when it was time for the real thing... omgz. TERRIFYING MUCH?

Major failboat. Why? Well.... where do I start?

1) I chose a stupid topic (something about war being useless blahblah. Why did I pick that one??? *faceslap*)
2) I only wrote a little over 400 words when I needed at least 600 (braindead o_o)
3) The essay itself doesn't really have a point or a plot or any kind of relevant connection to the topic... *weeps*

Daaaaaammmnnnnn.

I don't wanna know what my score will be. But no worries eh? This will only decide if I ever finish high school or if any university will even bother to look at my application. -_-

So basically.... daaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmnnnn.

First of all:


HAHAHAHAHA. I laughed like 5 mins at that.

Kay.

Next...



Elisa Jordana. What a weird pop/hip hop/wadewa artist. But I really like her. Stumbled upon her profile at purevolume (this has nothing to do with a huge pic of her on purevolume's front page... XD). And yup, all of her songs are potential hits. And I like the iPhone reference in the song "My Manolos". But "The Dark Side of the City" is my fave. Great beat. Like, Timbaland-great beat. Well, almost. =D

I'm also really loving will.i.am's Heartbreaker. It's already the top 7th song in my iTunes. Heavy rotation for Will. Only Arctic Monkeys and Verka Serduchka can beat him. :D

***

It's already the middle of April. Exams are not far away. Depressing, much?
The only good thing is that I have a few lessons less than before. Tomorrow I'm only going to school for two lessons. Vry nice. That means I can sleep longer. But I probably won't 'cause everyone else will be up at seven and banging things loudly right behind my door. Thanks guys.

The last few days have been really busy. That's what you get when someone forgets to mention that you only have 4 days to finish 6 articles. D:

*sighs*

I need some ice cream...

I'm alive!

boomp3.com

What do you know? It's Sunday again!

It's snowing. >___>
That reminded me I should blog a bit.

I survived my exam! Woohoo! (Listen to the song right now!)

The exam went by so smoothly... It took me ten minutes to pick a topic ("Who is a successful person?") instead of an hour and I finished the whole thing in about 2,5 hours (instead of 6, as I feared :D). I wrote 3,25 pages. =D

I think I did okay. Usually when I think I did well, I get a bad mark. But when I'm sure that I have written up the biggest pile of crap ever, I get a five.

So I have no idea what I'm gonna get. 70 points would be nice.... really nice.


Spring break! Woohoo! (Listen to the song again!)

A week of no school! Yeah baby!

I have managed to spend the first two days of spring break doing nothing. It feels awesome. You should try it. 8)

Okay, I admit it, I did play a little Tony Hawk's Undergroud 2. Nifty game.
And I folded some more paper swans. It's a really relaxing activity.
I just remembered another idiotic thing my English teacher said.
Teacher: Revolting? Don't you know what that means? It means to fold something. Like this- *folds some paper*
The class: o_O Are you sure?
Teacher: What? Of course! Revolting - to fold!

She is a JENIUS.

Metallica is coming to Riga this summer. Woohoo! (Lis- you know what to do! ;D)

Do I want to go? Hell yeah! Riga might suck but Metallica can make any place look cool.

Tickets will be available starting from tomorrow.
I am a user at this fbi thing, that brings these performers here so I can but tickets a few days earlier.
And now the best part - all standing places are sold out.

It's a football stadium. HUGE. I have no idea how all the tickets can be sold out when they're not even officially for sale!
Latvians... can't trust them.

This sucks. I posted 4 ads online to buy 2 tickets, no answer yet.

There's still a slim chance that they might have new tickets for sale on Monday... 'cause it would be unfair to everyone if half the tickets are already sold out when they come for sale.

Blah. The words "ticket" and "sell" are making me sick.

I need some chocolate.

omgomgomg

Jebus.

I have my Estonian mock exam tomorrow. An essay. At least 4 pages in 6 hours.

I am starting to get really really nervous.

I suck at writing essays. I usually get a 4 and in rare cases 5 as a mark but... I just hate writing them. It's like torture. I have to force myself to sit behind a table and think of clever things to say.

And the topics... how to say this delicately... they're shit. I could write something about almost every topic but I don't want to. They're not topics that make me go "wow, I have so many thoughts about this and I can't wait to put them to paper yaylolz!".
They're more like "... shiiiiit, how the fuck am I gonna write 4 pages about this crap??"
You know what I mean?
It's not fun. I have to struggle to write something suitable... It's stressful and depressing.

If I could, I would do a grammar test or something similar. I just don't want to be forced to write when I don't want to write. D:
It's especially stressful 'cause if I get a low score, I'm gonna have a hard time getting into universities. Not to mention, if I get less than 20 points = FAIL. Can't finish school if I fail.

Shiiiiit.

This is only the mock exam but I'm so scared. X_____X

At least I'm prepared: I've got water, an energy drink, chocolate (Kalev's biscuit- and plum pieces choc of course) and about a dozen pens. Or ball-point pens, as my dear English teacher likes to say. And napkins. I even downloaded an audio-book. Chuck Palahniuk "Survivor". =D I won't need it for the exam but it'll be great to listen to when I'm going home after the exam. xD

That is if I'm survive the exam... I just might have a stroke and die.

Hallelujah!

teh Internetz! itz alive agian!!!1

My net has been fucking around for almost a week, not loading pages and making me refresh everything 9 times, but about 15 minutes ago it went back to normal! :D Yeah baby!

To celebrate, I bring you a classic: Will Smith - Miami. Rejoice!
boomp3.com

I noticed that I'm beginning to post only on Sundays. I guess I'm just to lazy to do it in the middle of the week. Surprise lawl.

I want spring break to start already. One week of school left... *dies*
And Friday, the last day, will be the best, the cherry on the cake, the dot on the i, the extra chocolatey chocolate sauce on chocolate chip ice cream... my Estonian mock exam.

"Mock exam" is such a stupid expression.

Well, I decided for once to prepare for this exam and look up some good quotes.
Of course I got bored and started looking for funny quotes...

* A gentleman is a man who can play the accordion but doesn't.
* It's always darkest before the dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
* Keep smiling. It makes people wonder what you're up to.
* I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
* If you can't fix it with duck tape you haven’t used enough.
* I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
* Join the army, visit exotic places, meet strange people, then kill them.
* I like work. It fascinates me. I sit and look at it for hours.
* Everyone makes mistakes. The trick is to make mistakes when nobody is looking.
* They say hard work never hurts anybody, but why take the chance.

+ a bumper sticker quote (wowz I even found a picture of it):
I want that one! =D

***

Now a little update on the weather... I thought last Sunday was pretty bad but yes, then it got worse.

Yes, that bad.
(Now would be a good time to press the 'play' button on the Miami song. If you haven't already.)

I froze my feet off on multiple occasions. Fortunately, I didn't have to amputate them.

The weekend has been slightly better, I can see the ground (and not just heaps of white cold goo).

***

One more thing... Icons!
I watched like almost a whole season of America's Next Top Model on YouTube (which amazingly worked quite well during my Internet troubles) and got inspired!
So I opened up Paint Shop Pro and whipped up a few icons from a photo shoot from Season 3. Well, I made like 10 icons but I'm too tired to upload 'em all, so you get only two.


lawl... no flaming plz XD

I'm going to Miami.
Welcome to Miami... Bienvenido a Miami.

...

What?
