It's been. I've been back onto playin' the piano, and that skill is so rusted my hands actually DO feel a little like metal. But the speed at which i'm readin' the notes n all, hasn't been lost. In fact, i think it may've improved. Which is why i'm hitting so many of the right keys, only at the wrong times hahaha, but all is well that i can still play a little here and a little there. It's a form of relaxation. And also a form of expression. For all you pianists out there, remember when either your teacher or someone who didn't know how to play piano at all told you that you could express yourself through playing music (eg. piano) and you were like....er...no thanks, i'll learn to play, play what i like and just pass myself off as a pro. Well, maybe not the latter, but I've definitely been told that before, and i've never really noticed much when i played piano. I don't mean to sound all deep and meaningful, but when you are feeling slightly out of the norm, or in an extremely good or bad mood, just have a seat and play a song or two. It's a different feeling. Maybe it's just simply the feeling of expressing yourself other than talking or screaming.
And you've all probably guessed, i didn't play piano this morning coz i felt GREAT. It was quite the opposite. Coz c'mon. Who in their right minds would go play music when theyre feeling down in the dumps? Unless you WERE fearless of what others thought of your musical talents. hahaha
Anyway, study day, study arvo, all the way till the sun went down. I raced the clock till my lecture time. And I won, the feeling was pretty good. The lectures weren't even past the half way point and i managed to ace the formal final exam of that whole portion of the course. Another step up. Baby steps, but they'll be the ones that lead to the big steps, and in turn, the big dreams.
Missing my grrl todayy, quite badlyy. Hope i can talk to her soon.
A little burnt but not peeling, thank goodness for that, but i've been going through bottles of water like a severely dehydrated person. But it's cool. Better superhydrated than dehydrated. I'm gonna try finish another chapter of the course. Wish me luck aye?

Two words.
Use your imagination. You'd be surprised at what people come up with when you say that to them. It's just bizarre. But Enywey, stuff it, what's been up y'all, whats been happenin'?
Had the longest day pickin' up the phone. Who ever knew, pickin' up the phone and dealing with so many strangers that just suddenly want to talk to you, could bring your ears to curl in pain and your head to pulse in anticipation for each coming break, and finally for the conclusion of a day that was threatening to become an extra day of the same routine. The body adapts though. I've learnt that from several different topics and disciplines, so I guess the majority can't be THAT incorrect, correct? So no, Sunday work would've just brought me to my knees and probably pushing up the daisies to some degree.
Small world though, on the day before today, I had the phone answered by the most polite and understanding interviewee EVER. And after the standard procedure, she even insisted that she made her husband do the opinion poll we were conducting. Turns out. She was the head of market research companies, so she 'understood' what we had to do. So... that was that.
But. Good news everyone. I have to train three people as part of my professional development in my fitness course. So friends, imma need some assistance and some patience (IF you allow me to train y'all). I promise not to be unfair...all the time... =P

Rain and Supplements
Rain, rain. Go away. Come again when I tell you to.
Geez, I mean. it's like the weather doesn't speak english or something.
hahahahaha, stay in and study week for me, lucky it's nearly over, and my babe's nearly back! I miss her so much it's crazyyy!
Knowledge obtained from study? Nothing. Well hahahaha, that would've been the oh-so-typical answer but who would study if we actually didn't get anything out of it right? We all study for a purpose. Whether it's to make someone shut up; to actually learn something and do something productive in our spare time or to get somewhere. Funnily enough for me, it kinda works whichever way you put it. And this is what i got...
In summary, Eminem music complimented one night of study, where i was able to plough through half the chapters of a specific topic. But the next night, Eminem's rap was too good. Study was compromised. So i turned off the music and got to studying. Finding out that basically all of the 'supplements' for health and nutritional performances, namely ergogenic aids are pretty much NOT proven to help or have any effect at all. And if it did have an effect, it was on non-human subjects, so in actual humans...the evidence is nowhere near enough to produce practical results. Exercise and a proper diet is still the way to go.
Fear not though. Additional protein powder as a supplement hasn't been shown to be harmful in anyway; caffeine has also been proven to help increase your work output as it is a stimulant for the CNS (Central Nervous System). It increases the supply of epinephrine which in turn increase the rate at which your body frees free fatty acids for metabolic reasons. One thing about caffeine though...having a consistent intake of caffeine seems to blunt it's effects, so caffeine being a proven supplement doesn't mean we all go out and drink 50 cups of coffee a day for the next year. It don't work like that =P
Another supplement which i'm sure y'all have heard of, Creatine (derived from Arginine, Glycine and Methionine). It's said to increase phosphocreatine stores in your muscles (these are used as a source of energy in the resynthesis of ATP, the body's energy 'currency'). So the moar phosphocreatine in the muscles, it'll take JUST that little bit longer to cause fatigue, so yup, it decreases fatigue. It also increases lean muscle mass, this is due to the promotion of protein synthesis (also a said said effect of creatine).
Well, post cut short. I have a dentist appointment. I'll catch y'all later aye?

Startin' again.
Hey y'all, hows it goin'?
I've been tired as ISH. But it's all good.
Research done, shoulder alignment needed, course started. It's been quite ... normal, i suppose, had Hungry Jacks the other day with my speciall grrll~~ and it was nice =D The taste of a HJ whopper, 'maccas chips', and being with the most special person in the world. I'd call this a unique experience xP Every moment spent doing something different with my grrl is a unique experience, coz it'll never be the same with anyone else. That's why it's so special. Thanks babe ~
Semi-planning worked as a lil safety net this time. Looks like plans of finishing this course before Christmas is going to prove to be 'difficult'. And what was moar surprising? The due date is in the middle of next year. So i'm assuming they assume that it'll take us around that much time. But don't get me wrong. I'm still gonna try as hard as I can to get this done by the end of the year. After all, I still got my licence to get, fitness goals to reach and moar dough to make.
It's alright tho, hopefully the five startin' weeks will get me to a considerable point so i can start cutting through the practical part of my course ASAP. Green Tea study is going well, tablets from my bottle nearly gone. Not looking forward to the VO2 Max Test. It's gonna be terrible.
Well, the years nearly up already, it's crazy, and the weather...just as crazy. It's gotten so hot and humid lately. SiiGH. Enywey.
Y'all partyin' and relaxing? TSD, Shadowlordz, and a few bros i met today. Final exam tomolo. Good Luck guys. Kill it.
And y'all remember...

What's done is done.
And it's ALL DONE! Exams are OVER.
Final exam today. I mean, a few mates and I were all prepared and all. We wore beachwear to the final exam, knocked it down. The last thing in the way. Then the victorious rain sprinkled on us as we walked out of the exam theatre. It was happy happy. But also like....dayumm...we was all pumped to go to the beach to kick back and chill. Even people who weren't prepared for the beach thought it was a good idea. Turns out it wasn't meant to be. And we just all accepted. Well, all of us except one. And he turned out to be right, but the timing was just not playin' along with him. It got past 30 degrees at 3. i left at half past 2 or so. Only the perfectly sizzling temperature didn't last for long.
But that's all there is. Now - for most people - is holiday time.
Time to find something to do
Time to think of what they WANTED to do
Time to get a job, for some funny mates
Time to work harder, for a minority
Time to wait for the time where everyone just nervously waits for their marks.
Time to just do...nothing I guess
For me? It's to work harder; enjoy the company of those around me; catch up with those i've neglected for way too long (TSD, Shadowlordz, Soft-toy yeah, I'm pointing at you guys hahaha). Neglected might be a lil harsh for what I've done tho. I mean, I HAVE stopped to talk or poke fun at you guys every now and then =P
Time to work. Time to reach higher up. Time to become. Y'all ready? I know I am.

But yeah, time to start trying. Or so I say.
Finals, round 2. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday. Awesome line up. Yeah, right. Y U NO SPACE IT BETTER, UNI TIMETABLER?! Oops.
Bring it on. My brain so dead I can't even ramble. Whaddafug? Oh well.
Seeing the darkness at the beginning of the tunnel,

Impatient Summer Nights
Ever wanted something so much you can see it in front of you every where you go? In every one you see? In your head, in your mind, in your FACE? I have. It sucks. I'm one impatient little b*tchazz BN so naturally, I hate the waiting game. But you sit and you hustle (yeah cos I'm soooooo black) and you wait for the moment. Seize it and own it. One shot. One opportunity. Oh I see where this is going...
Skittles. Oh no that's not it. Eminem! And Weezy F Baby. And the F is for FINISHER. Or Fornicate. Or Frontdoor. Depends which Wayne song you listen to. His name changes more times than a girl changes clothes. Or me for that matter. Anyway.
Jyamaigo halfway through...I ain't even started! I wish I was halfway through. He get the spaced out exams, I get the connect four type. Yep, the old four days of four straight exams. For the special kid. Then a 3 day rest. It's always three days. Always. Think about it. The three day rest. Then the final exam. Time to pump up the WAM, don't wanna drop outta my course. That'd be an entirely redundant use of HECS. I ain't paying the government a cent more than they need.
Can't wait till the last day. Imma throw it up in the air and be on my four month break. Hit work 3 days a week, bout $400 a week should get me through the holidays. I hope. If I am bothered to work that much. Hopefully get my P's. Bout bloody time. So much baby boy. Sucks. To be me? Highly DOUBTFUL.
SO BABY DON'T WORRY, YOU ARE MY ONLY, YOU WON'T BE LONELY.
Even if the ground is falling up. Cos frankly, that'd be a whole lot scarier than the sky falling down. Again, think about it. Sky doesn't hurt. Ground does. Up defies gravity. Down is normal. But maybe that's the nerd in me? Some people say I'm a nerd. I respectfully disagree and retort: I'm not a nerd, I'm just slightly observant and completely retarded. Just my opinion. I mean, you don't have to agree. I'm sure Mister Jyamaigo would though. Clearly.
I'm running out of things to ramble about! So much running through my mind. Exams, houses, her, grading, skittles, driving (not the girl kind), death, burial, resurrection, old testament biblical metaphors. CALL ME ICARUS II, cause I'm gonna fly one day. And not melt my wings like a retard. Oh that too. Redesigning my wings.
Eating from a big plate,

Past Half Way.
There just no difference.
3 exams down, 2 to go. Stats and ExPhys left. Cramming like crazy. Well to be really honest, not THAT crazy, but to an extent where i'm pushin' myself to learn. Z-scores, probability, inferences and whatnot. It's clicking, well, most of it hopefully.
Worried and not worried. Workout was the same old, leg workout, just legs today, and a steady cardio to get me going. Pushed out 100kgs on squats. I could do moar, but the mental side of it put me off near the end of the set. I needa concentrate moar. Balance getting better with the one-legged calf raises too. So that's nice.
But i've still got moar to do. Summer's on it's way, and i wanna be at least presentable if y'all know what i mean. How y'all feelin' bout this summer aye? it'll be burnin' but it'll be good. Many beach trips to look forward to, and moar opportunities to have fun. Summer holidays, esp for us uni kids. But i won't be full into the partying side, this man will be doing his bit to be better for the near AND far future. Hope everything falls into place, and hope errybody has a nice time cruising through the rest of this season and all of summer. It'll be aight.
Fasted blood test tomolo morning. Not looking forward to it. But it's all part of the study. So i'll be aight with it. Then a whole days worth of study before the STATS exam on the DAY AFTER. GEEZ. Why did an exam have to fall on that day? I'll do what i can tho. I'll try. Hopefully it'll be good.
Aights, I've got moar to study, moar to do, and food to eat. I'll catch y'all later.
