(2 votes, average: 4.5 out of 5) Loading ...My latest obsession (with regards to TV series) is How I Met Your Mother, which means that any strange quotes or comments that are not so comprehensible to common people will most probably have been derived from there. High five! (And yes, that’s one of them.)
Lately life has been pretty good. Last weekend was legen… wait for it… dary (ok I’ll stop now) as it was the most fun and fully packed weekend I’ve had in a while. We spent Friday night watching The Lovely Bones (which was okay, not really scary but still quite good) and randomly singing to old favourites such as Lemon Tree and Viva La Vida.
On Saturday morning I had a hair appointment to trim my hair, which resulted in one of the usual long discussions with my hairdresser about life. It was amusing how she would be relating something and suddenly stop midway to ask me for my view as a ‘psychologist’ (as she still fails to understand that I will probably not be an actual psychologist for another 4 years at least). I finally left with a beginning of a migraine, a lighter purse and straight and much shorter hair. When I arrived home, my mother and aunt immediately informed me that I now looked like a 17 year old which they believed was quite encouraging. My brother also finally realized that I’ve become blonde now, which put together proves my Evolutionary Psychology lecturer right - blonde females do look younger.
Seriously… 17 years old?
Anyway… on Saturday evening we went to The Anvil and Nordic Bar, which was a great night except for the part where I couldn’t find my jacket at the end as someone had probably gone off with it by mistake while we were dancing. I spend a few minutes sending negative thoughts out towards whoever had stolen my jacket, but by the following morning I was feeling better.
For the past week, we had been planning on having a picnic on Sunday. These last few Sundays had always been really sunny with amazing weather, only apparently last Sunday, sunny was not an option. So what happened was this:
But picnicing in the rain was still fun, and later we had Sangria while playing rummy and watched Sherlock Holmes (without the first 20 minutes as the people at Tal-Lira Cinemas refused to let us enter, but still…) so overall it was a great day.
On Monday it was back to university. We had the kind of lectures in which we discuss teenage pregnancy and condoms, and at one point the lecturer asked us why we think that teenagers don’t use condoms, and a guy shouted out “Because the Pope says No!”. At another point she told us “Do you know that good joke about condoms?” then as an afterthought added… “No, no, maybe it’s not really so appropriate…” but ended up saying it anyway. I really love my tutor sometimes 
In the evening I went to the Lenten Talks which are being held this week at university, which were excellent. I haven’t heard anything so good spiritually in ages, and for once I actually managed to spend an hour and a half completely hypnotized by what a person was saying without feeling the slightest urge to distract myself by random thoughts.
Today after lectures I was helping a friend in his thesis by posing for pictures expressing the 6 basic emotions. I found out that I am completely incapable of expressing a sad face… and when I was talking to my brother about it this evening he described it as really encouraging. His exact words were that I should put it on my CV when trying to date people, but that’s just the way he speaks. He also interpreted one of my dreams (which involved me speaking to a maid in a friend’s house about life) as me having latent homosexual tendencies (which I don’t believe I do). Sometimes I miss having normal conversations.
I’m not sure whether I mentioned this in my last blog, but whenever I watch a scary movie I spend ages afterwards thinking about it and feeling scared of situations which I would usually ignore. I’m still under the effects of having watched The Box, so I’m being hypersensitive to anything unusual which happens. Tonight as I was walking in the ringroad alone towards my car, I was thinking about today’s Lenten exercises, and suddenly a car drives by past me and stops a few metres ahead of me. It reversed back and stopped exactly next to me, and the driver opened the passenger’s window. As it was a guy I had never seen before, I suddenly began having flashbacks of the worst images from the horror films I’ve watched, but in the end he was just a nice person asking me if I had a lift home. So from now on I’ve decided to boycott scary movies… and just watch How I Met Your Mother instead. High five!
Update:
Check this out. It made me feel much, much better about my parking skills.

The One with Magnificence
(2 votes, average: 4 out of 5) Loading ...Life after exams has been incredible. After getting blonde lowlights, spending a week at Fekruna where I woke up to see this everyday:
baking multi-coloured cakes:
watching lots of Friends episodes and spending time with speKtrum, I finally returned home to playing table tennis and discovering new TV Series to get addicted to (which include How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory and Flash Forward). At university I experienced some very disturbing lectures which I will not go into detail here for your own psychological state’s sake, had a random person walk into my mirror while driving and attempting to attack me (only changing his mind when he got a good look at me and probably decided I was nothing more than a kid) and finally met my tutor for 30 minutes (out of which we spent 2 minutes discussing my thesis and 28 minutes discussing her son). I also participated in some interviews for the Master in Psychology programme, where I was a client for a counselling session which those applying for the Masters had to carry out. The best part was the bit after the interview where my tutor would come out and seriously declare: “Now the interview is over. You are not a mum with an autistic child… well, you’re not a mum yet and you will not have an autistic child. You can go.”
Last week I got sick for the first time since I came back from India, which obviously resulted in some disturbing dreams, such as dreaming that a friend of mine was trying to drown me and dreaming of a sack of dead rabbits which on close observation were not dead after all, only after one of them started twitching I realised that his neck was cut and blood was flowing out of it which was followed with some pieces of his brain. Anyway, I am getting better now and I’ve started having normal dreams again.
My laptop died last week as well, and I had to get a new hard disk and reinstall everything, which is partly why I haven’t blogged in ages. Now I have 4 times the space I had before, which means I can download countless films and stay awake till late watching them. Yesterday I watched The Proposal, which was pretty good, and The Box which was terrifying as I can never look in my car’s mirror again without imagining a scary-looking guy holding up the peace sign. But watch it just the same, it’s about a couple who receive a box and a message from a weird guy telling them that they have to choose between receiving a million dollars and having someone they don’t know die, or not receiving the million dollars at all. Only when they do make the choice, they realize things are slightly more complicated than that… (dudududummm)
Anyway, the good news is that it’s finally March, which means that I’ll get to swim very soon! Yay! And since exams seems so far away, I can stay awake tonight and watch more episodes of Big Bang Theory. Days like these make you want to listen to U2’s Magnificent all day long.

The One with the Doppelganger
(1 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...While attempting to finish my last assignment tonight, I have been trying to discover my doppelganger. I have made several attempts to do so by using this, which keeps on insisting that my doppelganger is Minnie Driver, Claire Danes or Keira Knightley, but I know better. Well, actually I don’t, so please please if I remind you of any celebrity, be it the fish from Finding Nemo to the donkey from Shrek, let me know! (Although I would prefer it if it was a human being… but anyway.)
Come to think of it, by this time tomorrow I might have my assignment finished and discovered my doppelganger. What more could I want?

The One with Hello, New Mobile!
(3 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...I have just bought this. Wouldn’t you love to spend all day staring at it? It’s so pretty!! I want to spend ages putting mp3s on it and taking photos of random things and feeling happy that I finally trust myself with having a mobile that isn’t the cheapest one the store has. Only I can’t because I have to charge it for 6 hours before I can use it. Oh well, back to friends.

The One for your Studying Breaks
(2 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...I have discovered a new source of amusement for those moments of feeling excessively bored during studying. Most people have heard of it, but in case you haven’t, check this out: Overheard at the University of Malta.
My favourite ones are:
During a Biology Lecture on some fish which tend to swim upside down, a student (who is known for constantly asking stupid questions) asks:
“But are they all right?”
Lecturer: “Are YOU all right?”
and:
Lecture on diarrhoea:
Lecturer: When a patient has diarrhoea, he should fast for 24 hours.
Student: But Sir, Christ fasted for 40 days in the desert.
Lecturer: BARRA!!!!!!
Seriously, check it out. Now.
Anyway, it seems as if we’re back to the famous time of the year, where people increase their coffee/energy drink intake, increase their comments on facebook informing the world of their study plans, increase the links to YouTube videos which they watch as a ‘break’, and most importantly of all, decrease their sleeping hours. (Well yes, they probably increase their studying/assignmenting hours as well, but I guess that’s obvious). As I was happily observing all these big changes in everyone’s life, I was also growing a bit miffed since I still had a few assignments due and I hadn’t started studying yet, so I decided to pull an all-nighter to finish them off. The following day involved picking up a tyre and forgetting to pay for it, having to sit through 2 hours of SPSS with no idea of what happened in them, picking up my assignment proposal and not really realizing that it was accepted till a few hours later, driving back home and staring at floating dots in the air rather than at the road, interpreting my aunt’s dream of talking to cats (which by the look she gave me was not appreciated) and sleeping for 15 hours till the following morning. So I guess I won’t be doing that again any time soon.
This morning I had my first exam, which was on Psychology of Learning and ABA. I was going along fine until I encountered the word ‘closure’ as one of the possible answers in a multiple choice question. As I sat pondering on which Gestalt principle it referred to, I couldn’t help hearing Rachel’s voice going “And that, my friend, is closure!” from the time when she’s drunk and phones Ross to tell him that she’s over him. I finally figured out the answer to that question, and moved on, until I was stuck again and all I could hear was Joey’s voice in my head trying to figure the question out, or Phoebe saying “Oh no”. I think, I think, I may be watching too much of Friends.
Anyway, to change the subject, since exams seem to be all anyone can talk about these days, have you heard about Madonna? Apparently she’s planning on having a baby!! Which means she will be having her 5th kid at the age of 51!! (Which, by the way, I found out from here). Do you remember her first album, which was called Like a Virgin? And now she’s having Baby Jesus? Coincidence? Hmm.
And lastly, since everyone seems to be offering everyone else a source of entertainment to occupy themselves with during their studying breaks, here is mine. Enjoy!
