11am

i have a test today.

i studied 'optimisation and complex computational linear algebra' all day yesterday. from 11am until 11pm. i have always been the ultimate crammer. it has gotten me this far, so why turn my back on a good thing?

i get really crabby when i get stressed. i was stressed yesterday. everyone knows not to disturb me when i am studying. the mere presence of another person in my room causes me to bite their head off.

here is my exam ritual:

* one or two days before the exam: cram, cram, cram. get mad at anyone who comes within a 10m radius of me.
* morning before the exam: cram some more and go over notes. try to ignore the knots in my stomach.
* during the exam: lapse into what seems like a trance. all information flows out and i have no memory of the events at a later date.
* immediately after the exam: have a beer.

isn't it incredible how you spend so much time worrying about remembering everything for an exam, only to forget everything you retained immediately after the exam? the material you have spent the past couple of days agonising over flows directly from your brain, down your arm and out through your pen, never to be thought about again.

everyone knows that the brain has a terminal capacity. once it is full, nothing else can be crammed in. this is the reason we forget so much of what we have 'learnt.' we are merely making room for more useless information that we will no doubt forget in a few months time. well, that is my theory anyway.

4pm

finished the test. i completed it in 40 mins. we were given one and a half hours to do it. yipya! the knots and butterflies in my stomach are gone. as expected, i have no memory of what it was i was tested on. the information has already been erased to make room for the information i must 'learn' for my philosophy test on wednesday.

listening to| triple j ... yes, i have no idea why either

8.30pm

apparently i am gay. so is my best friend brodie. you see, one night when i was very drunk and brodie and i were leaning all over each other more than usual, i may or may not have jokingly told a guy we went to school with that brodie and i were 'seeing' each other. apparently he believed me. oops.

brodles says: i forgot to tell you - i saw m*****w e*****t last nite
brodles says: i was sitting with tori on the floor at the northern
brodles says: not goood
brodles says: he gave me that look like oh theres brodie and her girlfriend....
specialK says: hahhahahahhaa
brodles says: kate it is all your fault - he stilll soooo thinks that i'm gay!
specialK says: no im ur girlfriend!!! dammit!!
brodles says: i know i'm sorry
brodles says: but i told tori the story and she was like oh that means i'm gay too, by association
brodles says: and i'm like yep
brodles says: and then shes like oh so everytime he sees me he'll think i'm gay tooo...its infecting more people kate
brodles says: its like your powdy rumour**
specialK says: hahahhaa
brodles says: i swear i'll go to our reunion and spend the whole nite affirming my heterosexuality

** i deny any allegations that it was me who started the rumour that ian haug from powderfinger was gay after getting sick of all the girlies that drool over him and say nothing but 'i love ian, he is sexy.' i deny implying that ian haug may have hit on brian molko at the big day out. i also deny alleging that soggy sao and the attack of the killer red hat man left the big day out because ian did not reciprocate killer red hat man's affections. none of it is true. i swear. i also deny deriving any pleasure when i found out about the fun the rest of powderfinger had when they heard about the rumour.

have you ever heard of a bus driver who solicits passengers late at night? no neither had i... until this afternoon.

apparently brodie and tori walking home on saturday night when a bus pulled up and the driver asked them where they were going. when they told him, he said 'jump in, i'll give ya a ride.' the strangest thing is, they lied about where they were going and were dropped off less than half way from tori's place. the drunken fools. though, maybe it was a wise decision. a bus driver soliciting passengers is kinda freaky. maybe he was the same bus driver from jen's journey. wonder if he was wearing a uniform?
