exams back today:

bio: 66%. load of shit. this is my worst exam, like, ever. the marking scheme is so, very, gay. you have to use that particular word or phrase and it doesn�t matter what other crap you say, just as long as you have the bit on your mark scheme. if you said something like it, but not exactly, you get no marks. and there was one bonus mark for good english or something, and i didn't get it. because, you know, i got A* for english and all ... bastards. it�s dragging down my other two A*s for chem and physics. that sucks like a hoover.

french: 86% . really didn't revise, don't care, although i have issues with the oral cos i was beyond nervous and could not speak.

spanish: 83%. pretty cool, seeing as i didn't revise and i don't care. spent the entire lesson going over listening and reading. pointless much? at least now i know how to say incest in spanish. its �incesto�. big difference. we all thought this man was talking about his �perfect relationship� with his wife, but it turned out to be his brother. ha.

i know that the x-files have so jumped the shark, (and got cancelled) but i have this huge urge to watch it. the only 2 recordings i have of it were the one with the nazi ship and tobey maguire, but they got taped over by season 4 buffy. and i missed it last night cos i was burning my hand (more later).

so the reason for this urge is cos as we were going through the reading or something, se�or cracked up and was all, �this is so like the x-files.� my respect for him got from about here *gestures hand below keyboard* to here *ow! just scraped my burn on the plaster of the ceiling.*

basically, the passage was an agony aunt�s column and this boys writes in going on about how his girlfriend, miriam, is this religious young mother and is all �god gave me this child ... blah blah blah blessing-cakes.� it actually is very x-files as well, cos scully is all �get the hell away from my baby! god gave it to me! taste my maternal fury, mad gunman!� no, literally. she shot him repeatedly after that, and then demanded him to tell her why he came to kill her precious. but he died. told you the X-files jumped the shark. all the good writers went to buffy and angel and now have their own shows.

anyhoo, that episode was about 2 weeks ago and it was going to be continued yesterday, but i was away driving in a stupid go kart.

yeah, malco girl let loose on a thing with wheels and an engine. i was fun, but i was so very, very scared. i crashed right under a barrier and squashed my toe in the practice run, so i decided that my mantra for the day should be �brakes are your friend�. i ended up moving jerkily, pushing the accelerator and the brakes alternately.

then i had to control my urge to run over the marshals. they were all �you know you�re not supposed to race before you get to the line, bleh....� and i�m like, hello? i can�t control the damn cart, doofus! and then they pulled me into the pits twice by mistake. waste my time, why don�t you. and they were all, �don't overtake or speed when the yellow lights are on!� well if you didn't notice, i just came in last because i was driving slowly during the yellow lights and everyone overtook me.

honestly. they deserve a painful death. whipping until their skin comes off or something slow and agonising. speaking of whipping, we learnt how to say that in spanish today. we also learnt how to slowly murder someone with different methods, like dipping in acid or something, when we did crime and punishment. wonder which bit that came under? twisted.

so i burnt the back of my right hand on the exhaust bit. i think. didn�t really realise until afterwards. i have no receptors on my skin, i swear. this confirmed my fears of being a bad driver. ie having no co-ordination whatsoever. and this is really swell seeing as i just got the news the day before that my aunt in toronto is gonna give me her beetle when i go to uni in the USA, preferably in an ivy league school, preferably in harvard because: a) duh; b) boston and the rest of the west coast is pretty near toronto.

anyways, it�ll be so fun. me driving the coolest car, listening to the coolest song, �strange and beautiful� which are coincidentally in the same advert, so i�ll be living the advert, which is, really, the ideal life, doncha think? and it has a vase. not sure about the red paint, though, the yellow beetle is obviously the classic, and the silver one is cool, but the light, minty green one is the prettiest. only the beetle and the lupo can pull that colour off.

ooh, speaking of pop-culture references, the last episode of BtVS, Gone, had references to LotR, Superman and the X-files!

warren called jonathan �frodo�, the geeks were all �does lex luthor kill superman?� and i was all �no, because he loves him!� anyway, buffy was all �they�re muldering� in the magic box or something like that. all my fandoms in one place. it feels like home.

<< results, los filos X and the VW beetle. >>
