D is for Dumb

16 May 2006 by kristarella

I’ve been a bit silly recently. My previous post was talking about how I want a new camera but the camera I was talking about isn’t even digital. I felt a bit silly when I realised. I think it’s because I was looking for a certain function and because I thought I had already narrowed my search to digital SLRs I didn’t look very carefully. Turns out the search was just for SLRs, digital or otherwise. Oh how I would love a digital SLR.

I’m sooo tired. It’s crazy. I fell asleep in my french lecture today. I also finished my biochem prac in an hour but I had to wait another hour and a half for everyone else so we could discuss it. Our results were really bad so in the end we didn’t even discuss the results, just the concept behind the prac. My tutor is the course coordinator so we are always the last group there.

I wore a hat today. They’re good for hiding bad hair. I got bad headaches twice today, not at times when I was wearing my hat though so it wasn’t because I have a fat head, because I don’t.

I got my essay for Maniacs, Murderers and Medical Detectives back yesterday. It was the one about capital punishment. I was a bit disappointed because I got a “D”. I got a good comment at the end and my friend saw it and said “it looks like you did well” and I said “No, I got a D.” then she said that that was really good. I realised later when telling the story to Amy and hubby that I actually got a distinction. We don’t grade in ABCD etc here we get a number or a pass, credit, distinction or high D, or one could fail but I’ve only done that in one test. So I actually did well and that’s satisfying.

Sooo tired… I want to have a really early night tonight. I haven’t gone to bible study and I feel a bit bad about it because I wasn’t at youth group on Friday night due to chemical inhalation; then on Sunday I was visiting my sick grandfather so I wasn’t at church and now I’m so tired that I can’t face going to bible study. I hope people aren’t as discouraged by my absence as I am when people don’t go!

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
