So yeah, finished my.. macroeconomics, business finance and accounting 1B exams already... only math1131 to go.
Outlook? I'd say.. low 70s on average/maybe 68 or 69 if I'm terrible. Be so happy if it were over 75 WAM but I really doubt it.
And the accounting exam today.. ARGHHH.. I'm such a dumbass. Spent the morning looking at tech news instead of actually studying. As a result, not feeling too confident in that one D: Looking at around 70%.
.. *incoming technology rant*
In other news... although it was a long time coming, the new nexus devices are out. And holy shit, those prices. Seriously bro, the nexus 4 (available in 8/16GB) has:
- a 1.5ghz quad core processor (next generation standard, the current generation, A9, is what the galaxy s3 and most other popular phones are running)
-2GB RAM
-a (slightly) better screen than the SGS3 and iPhone 5
-NFC and wireless charging, Android 4.2 etc.
The only thing it's missing is a microSD card slot and a removable battery and it would be absolutely perfect (LTE is a battery drainer and just isn't that useful in Australia ATM).
And the price... $400 in Australia. That's insane compared to the top of the line phones ATM, with the iPhone 5 16GB costing twice as much, $800 (for inferior specs too) and a galaxy s3 retailing for around $600.
Yeah, I'm a tech nerd. I've accepted it for a long time already. But yeah... dang. I want a nexus 4 now. Google/LG's profit margins must be insanely low for this product.
OH and not to mention the Nexus 10 which has a superior screen to the iPad retina and is also like $100 cheaper.
You may think I hate Apple from reading that- I dont, I just think their products are overpriced and playing catch-up on competitors that they used to be miles ahead of (iPad, iPod touch, iPhone 1 to 4 led the market when they were released IMO)
*end rant*
So it has come again to that time where I make my end of year break resolution. Remember last year's one where I said I'd watch all these movies and get my Ps and learn to pick locks... Well I eventually learned to pick locks and got my Ps but still haven't gotten around to those movies yet.
Okay, so here are the movies that I must watch because I haven't seen them before:
-Titanic (only seen half)
-The Lion King
-Matrix trilogy
-LOTR trilogy
-Schindler's list
-Godfather movies
-Ponyo
Also, I have to catch up on Naruto.. I'm like a year behind- stopped reading at the very start of the great ninja war. Oh yeah, and have to gym and get a job (ha. ha. haha.)

Peter- awesome driver, terrible student.
Hello reader,
As you might know already, I passed my driving test. hahahaha. The examiner was sooo chill, just talked randomly about uni, local suburbs, school while taking the test. So yes, now I can drive by myself. It'll be a while before I can drive the Kluger with quad-8 number plates but meh... a car is just supposed to get you from A to B.
In other news, I'm a complete and utter failure of a uni student (okay, it's not that bad). Cruising through first year on the back of last year's sorta-hard work and a little study.
So that's why I'm going to go serious-mode for these finals:
-One LoL game a day except in special circumstances where I can allow myself to play two
-Spend more time in the library
-Completely sober after Wednesday (all you can eat korean BBQ with one free beer and cheapish soju) until after all my exams are over
Oh yeah, that reminds me.. Last Friday night... blew atleast $70 on food and drinks... Consumed.. quite a bit, but not enough to fuck me up completely. Still... was good until the end when it starts to actually affect you. Never doing that again? Sif. But definitely not for a while.
And oh man... haven't worked out in agessssssss. Like agessssssssss. almost a month :(
So yes... Also have to find a holiday job. Life right now... mixed. Depends on how I go in my exams.
Oooh.... what's this in the mail?
Awwwww yeahhhhhh.
