You know what they say: "procrastination is the thief of time"... Well, it's certainly the theif of my time... Cept most of the time I let it steal my time... so I dno if 'thief' is very justified =P And I'm also well aware I'm making no sense too XDDD

But anyways! I had my FP1 exam (further maths) yesterday... and it's one of my final exams! Woo! \m/

Haha except I failed it ^_^

I was up at 5am cramming for it to be honest, but even though I'm a definite crammer and get best results whilst cramming, 7 hrs before the exam of hardcore work won't get me familiar with the whole syllabus =3 As it goes, that was the only time I'd revised further maths (or *done* any further maths) in quite a few months ._.;;

Haha... so in the exam, I wasn't able to answer even half the questions... I left so many questions blank; it was laughable XD In fact, I did actually sit in the exam hall giggling for a bit because I just couldn't answer any of the questions and was laughing at my own idiocy... it really was quite amusing XD

What's even more amusing is that I could sit and laugh at my own failure--first faliure that I've ever gotten in an exam--and not actually care about it at all XD The only thing I was worried about was whether it'd pull my chances of getting into Oxford down, but as it goes, languages (the subject I want to study at Uni) and further mathematics don't aaaactually have much to do with each other at all, so I think I'm safe ;)

If worse comes to worst, I'll just not put the fact that I did further maths down. Which would be slightly annoying cos that means it'd have been a complete waste of a subject for a year and just extra stress o_O;; but nevermind, it's almost over now =3 I only have one more exam left!!! I'm soooo happy!!! =DDD

Haha although my last exam is the 3rd and final module for further maths, and seeing as how I have absolutely zero motivation to work for it, I doubt I'll be passing it to be honest.

Although I must admit, if I'm just going to give up now and accept my fail (which I basically have done--there's no way I'm going to pass at the rate I'm going, and I can't be stuffed to actually work for it anymore. All my friends finished their exams ages ago. I still have 8 days left ¬_¬) it'd mean that I'd stayed up till 1am working my arse off on coursework for no reason.

Which would be just sliiiightly annoying... although I guess there's no way I'd have known that I'd accept a loss so quickly =3 But honestly, if you were me yesterday... hahahaha it was actually really amusing...

When I was taking M1 (normal maths), I was in peals of laughter because it was so easy and for the first time in my life I'd thought an exam paper went so well, yet a friend of mine in the same class was like "I'm so gutted...it's the easiest paper I've ever seen, and I screwed it up so badly!"...

Now I know exactly how he felt XD cept I'm not really gutted; I knew I wouldn't be passing FP1 (although I'd heard it was easier than D1--it was. I just couldn't do it), so it didn't come as that big a surprise to me when I sat in the exam hall and couldn't answer anything to save my life, but just that I never, ever thought I'd sit an exam and not know what I was doing...

I've never done that before =3 But I guess there's a first time for everything! XD

Let's just say... if I get an E in further maths, it'll be an achievement! >=D

But honestly I'm not as bothered as I thought I would be =3 The fact that I sat in the exam thinking 'whaaaat? o_O' just proves my decision of not taking maths at Uni the best one I've made thus far! XD

Yeah... I was originally going to do maths... then it changed to theatre, but due to other problems, it's now German/Modern Foreign Languages that I want to take =D

And a fail in further maths won't lower my chances of doing MFL, so I really dont care! Woo \m/ I want to be able to speak fluent English (achieved), Mandarin (achieved), German (achieving), Japanese (long way to go ^^;; ) and Spanish (=gives self kick up the arse and tells self to start learning! XD) before I die =3

Aside from that, I also want to learn Gu Zheng [古筝] and Xiao [萧] (Chinese instruments) and maybe guitar, too, before I die =] I'll teach myself the Chinese instruments, that should be no problem, but the problem is *getting* those instruments ^^;;

A Xiao, I can get quite easily if I go to a Chinese music store, but a Gu Zheng is too large to carry back, and it's so fragile it'll break TT_TT

I already play piano, flute, pipa (mostly self-taught) dizi (completely self-taught) and erhu (not very well though ^^;; ) and if you look, dizi and xiao are very similar, so I should be able to play a xiao easily! =D [Click to enlarge the pictures]

Pipa:

Erhu:

Dizi:

Xiao:

Gu Zheng:

Yup. I will aim to be able to play those all as well as I play the piano before I die!!! XDDD (Which, judging by my laziness, isn't really going to happen ^^;; I will do my best! =3)

On other notes, in my last entry, I was wondering if I should create a design blogsite? Well~~~ I have now! (^_^)v

Feel free to visit my new design blogsite, Kuri Designs, that gives out layouts coded by me, just for NuTang ^_^

I created it yesterday, and have two layouts up already =D If you like any of them, feel free to email me or note me for the code ^_^ The only rules are that you must NEVER take off the credit links or redistribute them without my permission =3

I personally love the two layouts that I have up already *_* although there is a slight problem with the profile page and I don't know why it does that >_<;; I'm trying to find out and sort it out, but no luck so far ;_;

But yeah... I won't be using those layouts =] They're for other NuTanger's enjoyment~ ^_^

Okies~~~ I'm going to er... try and fix the problem again haha XDDD <33
