Up Review

A short little review of the Disney movie 'Up'.

So I recently saw Up, don't ask me what drove my father to take us to that.

So what'd I think? Pretty good - from the 14 year old who chose to see The Soloist over Terminator Salvation.

Up is a good cross between a kids' movie and a movie that can still entertain adults. Does Disney usually show blood in their movies? Not that it was anything serious in Up but there was some blood... Also one may argue (like my mother) that it may have been a bit to serious for a kids' movie in that the old man's wife couldn't have kids and she dies before they achieve their dream of traveling to and living in Paradise Falls. All in all I enjoyed it!

Almost Over

Thursday night... Physics exam in the morning and I'm writing after having done practically no revision/studies... Did I mention that I have Physics Exam in the morning?? That exam has the potential to be the most difficult and challenging exam of all this week (that means it'll have to surpass the difficulty of AS Maths which would be quite a feat in itself). Maybe I'm just getting a tad too complacent with my blessing of an ability to do fairly well under difficult standards with little to no work.

Hmmm... I know Moments, Heat, Gas Laws (I think...), Forces....

These End-of-Year Exams have proven to be the strangest for me. This is the first time tat I've felt no drive or reason to try to do well... I think I will still make decent grades but still... I feel a bit slow. I just want these exams to finish!! But that reality is dormant until Tuesday.

Biology

Unexplained phenomenon of Biology:

There is one thing I need don't understand in Biology but would like to. I came across it when studying... *sure*.

Respiration:

Do the Alvioli (air sacks) just hang around in the lungs or are they lining the walls of the lungs or do they make up the walls of the lungs? If one of the latter two, then how could the expansion of the lungs change pressure in your bronchi, trachea etc.

If you can answer this question... you can follow my blog! So hurry up! Limited time on offer!

Sincerely, Jane

Well again with the post name... I guess that I like to name my posts after songs I like. So check out Janelle Monae!!

Well tomorrow is a public holiday!! So I'm gonna be up late tonight. If I think of anything interesting to write about I may actually blog it! Yay! I'll keep the page open so I won't have any excuse not to write...

Lithium...

Hmmm... so I guess the name of this post may seem a bit weird. Actually it's only there because I recently remembered that I had some Evanescence songs a while ago but I couldn't remember where so re-downloaded them: Lithium

 Call Me When You're Sober

 Bring Me To Life

 My Immortal

So... I recently read a friend's blog about '...'s (triple dots). I am always wary of using them too often here but as he stated, he's gonna' continue using them loads so I guess I take inspiration from him so guys... say hello to triple dotting!! And lots too...

Studying is becoming exceptionally difficult... um.... especially since I got this Macbook. Anyone got study tips.... like, I'm contemplating giving my Macbook to my mother until after exams. 

On the topic of the Macbook... Why did Apple discontinue my Macbook and make it into a Macbook Pro... with a faster processor and for $100.00 USD less!!! That kinda pissed me off... but I still adore my Macbook. I will probably Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Why get Windows 7 (a pretty version of the notorious Vista)??

I was recently looking at my music library on iTunes on my old desktop PC and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I have almost reached a benchmark of 800 songs! I know more is not necessarily better but it's still kinda nice...

Well maybe my posts will become less random during summer vacation when I'm noy so distracted. I may even take a shot at writing (try my hand at poetry composition?)... Well see ya!! 

  

Häagen-Dazs

Which of you, my friends, do not absolutely adore Haagen-Dazs ice cream? My family and I go to their 'restaurant' on some weekends (like today). My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Haagen-Dazs' taste sure hasn't lost its luster after all this time. Smooth, perfect consistency ice cream. I believe the restaurant also has Wi-Fi internet so I may consider taking my laptop there... you know 'cause I love blogging so much that I wanna' do even when I'm eating ice cream ;p. 

Hmm... what is my favourite flavour you ask? Yes you do ask... I'd have a tough decision between Vanilla, Dulce de Leche (prev. pic), Banoffee (banana-toffee) and Bailey's (I'm an alcoholic!!). 

If you haven't tasted Haagen-Dazs, your life is not complete and if you've tasted it and thought Nothing Special, you have no taste and cannot recognize quality... (Hope I didn't offend anyone lol)

The Book of Mac

-half-day at school...

-turn on phone

- *text* "Guess what I've got..." -Dad

- heart skips a beat

Talk about dramatic. Of course the instant I read the text, I knew he'd meant the Macbooks(, his and mine). That was Wednesday. It's Saturday and I'm typing this from my Mac now. What do I think about it?

Amazing...

-Perfect User Interface

-Super fast

-Extremely Useful multi-touch gestures for the trackpad. 

- Absolutely Stunning!!!

The aluminium body is beautiful and I can't stop rubbing it at the palm rests( a bit odd? I know).

Well, that was the first thing on my mind for this post, and about our Cricket Competition we had to plan for our P.E. CSEC SBA?

Surprisingly everything played out pretty well! Our team came 3rd/4th (we didn't play for the losing positions). Not too bad if you ask me... We had loads of fun and now I feel that I can actually watch a cricket match and understand what they're saying about the scores. My role was as a journalist s I took loads of pictures and just two or three interviews. I think we, the other journalists and I, are going to plan a blog/website. Let you guys know more soon!

Time to play with my mac some more...

C'est mardi...

It's Tuesday!!! Umm... I mean... it's Tuesday :( :( :(.
So what could be worse than Monday?? Say hello to Tuesday. At least Monday is a change from the weekend but Tuesday just sits there, not in the middle but not 1st either. So rundown for the week:
1. Should probably get the dean to post my flyer for the cricket tournament that we're creating for our Phys Ed SBA, on the notice board. Especially seeing as it's on Thursday and it might be nice to have the flyer up at least a day before the event!

2. Then on Thursday, I'll be at CIC Grounds from 8:00 a.m. to .... executing said tournament.

3. Friday... hey there's is nothing to do on Friday!! Oh except finish all my Chemistry labs by then!

Yeah, and studying, well studying's not going to well for me. I've reached a point where I can't even pretend to study... I won't even pick up a book. It's just so hard sifting through so much of known work to find maybe one thing that I might wanna' commit to memory...

Things can't fall apart now!! CSEC is next year!
