I have to say I'm surprised Boruto is still playing in cinema, considering the advertisement material said it would only be in for a week but here it is still going...

On an unrelated note, still loving how they depicted it so well that the anime scenes line up with real life.

Also they even went as far as to get the lane ropes the same colour.

Even though there's a lot I'm not good at, the one thing that I'd like to think I do have is good logic. That's why I'm always baffled when my classmates blindly use the same method to answer for example, question 1 and 2 if they appear to be similar but if you look closely you would realise the criteria is different and therefore require different methods... But then they never realise it and I have to be the one who says "uh nope you can't solve it with abc, you need to use xyz..."

Anyway I haven't even finished my marine report due tomorrow afternoon and although it is admittedly not worth as much as last time's 25%, it's kind of scary because I'm just sitting here with no sense of the usual urgency to get it done even though it's due tomorrow. I am well and truly worn out, before finals. Also have a stupid 3500 word report due during stuvac next week (CAN THEY STOP PUTTING ASSIGNMENTS IN STUVAC??) and even have to go to uni just to hand it in. I want to slap the person who decided on this.

Also I freaking love the Naruto and Boruto track from Boruto the Movie OST, you can really clearly hear which part is Naruto's and which is Boruto's. It's totally the track where you feel that evil has been conquered, and good wins once again.

I always get excited for some reason when characters in a game or anime etc. "go" to Australia. I mean, that is where I come from and grew up after all. But honestly when I saw all these, they really blew me away. You really have to hand it to the company, because even though obviously anime is targeted towards Japanese viewers, they really did their research and everything looks pretty much 100% like the real thing to me. I think you can tell they really experienced it and didn't merely just redraw from reference photos (or maybe that's just me).

(Don't mind the comments, I took these from tumblr)

Also I really like the train one, I felt like that really captured the essence of the older trains xD

It may be week 13 but eww, tomorrow is the nutrition final then Wednesday is the ecology presentation (which our group spent a minimum 12 hours together working on, not to mention more behind the scenes) and then friday marine biology is due > >

Fun times

Since stats was last semester it makes it just that much more painful to run all the complex stuff we need for subjects this semester... my memory is super poor and when I look at my old work I always wonder how I understood it. Also despite what my classmates who didn't take the statistics elective say (they were all like eww! You're taking statistics?!) I think it's important to know it both for the subjects we take now but especially when they're doing honours projects next year because gathering data is one thing but analysing it properly is another...

But the bad thing is stats is never like maths and choosing which method to use is just SO confusing for me and let alone there are a lot of interpretations for what is "right"...

Ah I'm troubled and I spent the whole day on this T_T

There are a couple of select people where when I have to deal with them, I feel sick to my stomach.

Anyway it's official, I've reached the semester-ly point of no return. It's week 12 and I can no longer do notes or study, and am officially just wasting away my time reading or watching unrelated material online. It's going to be a hard road to finals...

On an unrelated note, my university friend's 21st birthday party was on Saturday and it was really fun! First time for me to be on a boat in Darling Harbour... and contrary to you trying to scare me shirls it was as fine as I had believed it would be in the first place. It was interesting to see people dressing up to the theme! Also I never knew vodka lemon lime bitters was a thing since I've never made it like that but it tastes good. It was unlimited drinks at the bar though by the end of the night they ran out of vodka haha. Anyway all I can say is, it was very entertaining!

Ended up finishing my marine bio report at 3pm today. I don't know how I feel about it. The abstract I wrote was pretty bad. In the end, I wrote 3.75 pages (4 page limit), had 2 extra pages of figures, and 2 pages of references.

Of course I have more work to do but I'm taking a break for today except I don't even feel good, I'm just sitting here restless and agitated. This always happens after doing lots of assignments/tests and I'm scared for how bad the feel will be after finals x_x

Also I'm sick and tired of having to chase after people when it's something that concerns and benefits them and not me. Even if I'm pretty hot-headed, I'd like to think I'm pretty lenient when it comes to these things. And well, I've had enough so suit yourself. Also on a separate issue, when people say they are too busy I inwardly laugh. Even when I'm really busy, if it's something important to me I'd definitely make the time. Guess other people are just too different.

October 10 is........... Naruto's birthday!! And to celebrate:



☆ Sarada and Boruto's reaction to Mitsuki's parent LOL
☆ The. Ending. Credits. Was. Good. Seriously! I really liked the whole black and white of all the characters and their families. I don't know how to explain it properly.

And it's kind of sad, that Boruto doesn't want to continue the Hokage tradition and it's funny cause he totally wants to be like Sasuke and on the other hand, Sarada (Sasuke and Sakura's daughter) thinks Sasuke is a loser and looks up to Naruto and wants to be Hokage. Ah these kids liking each other's parents (¬‿¬)


The subs were a bit eh at times, I felt like they didn't fully portray the feel of what the characters were saying so I'm kind of glad I tried to listen hard to the Japanese!

Been feeling pretty terrible, I can't seem to find a moment of peace and I feel continually stressed out by how much that's on my plate (the never ending assignments). It feels so bad that it feels like basically every second is spent thinking about how much I've done, how much I still have to do, etc. Also all of it makes me feel pretty sick, like this constant need to vomit but of course nothing ever comes out (y)

Also I'd like to think that even though I'm not the most agreeable person (and I know that), but if you ask me for something I'd give it my all in helping you. But expecting even half of that from others is apparently too much, and the story of today is that many, many people have let me down completely •ᴗ•

Woot, life is so great right now.

I am very very VERY beyond pissed off and irritable right now because one assignment has taken way longer than it should have, considering it wasn't a proper report or anything but honestly, the co-ordinator of the unit's flakiness and made-up questions just piss me off. I don't think you'll really understand, so part of the question was to find five agencies that fund animal projects to achieve food security. Try searching for that, I dare you. Why am I pissed? Basically because NO ONE ever says explicitly they fund for animal projects, in fact a search for animals will get you nowhere. No, it's always just monetary aid or food or agriculture but never actual animals. Ugh.

So as some of you might know, I spent the mid-sem break in Melbourne because it was tash's birthday. I also managed to get absolutely no uni work done except one assignment and now I have so much work to do because I have a lot due in the next couple of days x_x

Anyway, I left for Melbourne last Saturday after work (sept 27th) and the plane was meant to fly at 8:35 but they are so fail that at that time boarding was still happening and we didn't end up flying until 10 == We (Jess and I) got to her place maybe 11:30? And we didn't sleep until 4am because we were helping out with making food for the party.

So then Sunday was the party and then I spent the week in Melbourne just doing random things and man, the weather was seriously cold at first, like less than 20 degrees? And I felt like I was back in sydney on a cold autumn/winter day :/ But then it really warmed up on Friday where it was actually warmer than sydney, 26 degrees or something?

I won't go over the whole week but on Friday since it was a public holiday in Melbourne (cause of the AFL grand final x_x) we took a road trip to Great Ocean Road with tash, two of her friends, her grandma, her mum and myself. On Thursday I slept at about 1? And we had to wake up at 7 on Friday and we didn't actually end up getting home until 2am... I slept at like 2:30 and had to wake up at 5 in order to catch my 8am plane back to Sydney on Saturday in time for work..

Let's just say it was super tiring! Fell asleep on the plane before take off even happened since they took so long x_x And woke up mid flight and we were already in the sky.

Anyway I'm in so much of an ugh mood cause so much work to do and I honestly don't want to do anything anymore. Wish the end of November would come so I can just do nothing!

I have to say I'm surprised Boruto is still playing in cinema, considering the advertisement material said it would only be in for a week but here it is still going...
