Eeeevil Overlord's WWYD Journal

Today…today’s been weird. Not altogether interesting either, I must say.

To put things in perspective, let me elaborate on the past couple of days. I’m a university student, and I’m currently in week nine of my second ten week term in my first year. At the end of each term, I have exams that are worth anywhere between 10-20% of my overall grade in each module. Obviously, since it’s near the end of this term, that means it’s one of many exam seasons for me (and yes, that does make this day’s challenge awfully inconvenient, thanks for noticing :p).

So yes, on Monday I had an exam on Principles of Modern Science. Not my favourite module, by a long way – this is a MATHS course, remember. Or Math course, or whatever. I’m British, so don’t be freaked by me pluralising it. Tuesday I had a Discrete Maths exam. For the uninformed, that’s logic – truth tables, proof by induction, sets and subsets, countability, all that jazz. P.O.M.S. (Principles of Modern Science) went pretty badly, although I was expecting it to do so, so I’m not too fussed; Discrete went stupendously well, there’s real potential for a 100% mark for the exam. Fun fact with the exams – due to my medical condition (which I won’t go into here, as I may need to mention it as a space-filler for a future day :p), I get permitted a time extension, if need be. P.O.M.S. was meant to be a one hour exam, but I was given an additional 15 minutes in case I needed it. I finished the entire exam in 13 minutes, which put me in the bizarre situation of having more time to spare at the end of the exam than almost anyone else even started it with! Thankfully you’re allowed to leave whenever you finish, or that could’ve been dull.

But yes, I’ve had exams the past couple of days. Which meant I had to revise non-stop. Which left me dog-tired. I got to bed at what I’d consider to be a relatively reasonable time last night – about 2am. However, for some strange reason that I can’t explain, I didn’t actually end up falling asleep until gone 3am. I’m distinctly aware of this because my DVD-recorder (like TiVo, I think) updates its schedule automatically at 3am, and it startled me out of near sleep -_-.

Now, I’m am world-famous (hyperbole alert!) for sleeping. I sleep often (at least once per day!) and generally for long periods of time. Yet, strangely, for a reason I can’t explain, I woke up at 9am. This is after I woke up for a reason I can explain, the fact that my TV is set up to turn itself onto BBC News 24 at 8am. But yeh, I was too tired, grabbed the remote and turned it off before rolling back to sleep, only to wake up an hour later. Here’s where I made the mistake – my alarm was set for 10am, on account of the fact that I had lectures from 11-1pm, and I wanted to allow myself an hour to wake up, have breakfast, shower, etc. Now, my alarm is a REALLY loud alarm. When I first got it and started using it, I honestly thought it was a fire alarm at first. It’s that god damn loud. Like, imagine if you had one of those bells you get in school to signal the start of the next period, only on your wall. It’s just very loud. And I like it that way, because it shocks me awake. Seriously, you just cannot fall back asleep after that alarm wakes you. And, since I was already awake, I made the decision to turn it off. A breakfast and a shower later, and I decided to lie down for a few seconds whilst I thought of something to do for the next hour. You can probably guess where this is going.

Day 1
So when I woke up, it was 1pm. Right when my lecture would’ve finished >_<. And the thing is, I didn’t even wake up properly. I was woken up, by someone knocking on my door. Another thing I forgot – in addition to it being exam season, it was room inspection season.

The Uni’s pretty good with this sort of stuff. There’s one room inspection per term, and it’s basically to make sure you haven’t caused serious damage to the room (or are doing anything illegal <_<). Now, the former was a problem for me. There were three drawers attached to the underside of my desk. I say were, past tense, because I had a habit of pulling out the bottom drawer and using it as a foot rest. The result?



Pretty sure that counts as damage. And man did the inspector notice my discrepancy quickly. She was quick to tell me that it was simply an appalling offence. Here’s the picture again:



Wait, what? Yup, she didn’t even notice the chest of drawers not being attached to the desk anymore. But she had a problem with my innocent coke can pyramid. You’re not allowed them, apparently, because of the risk that you’ll FORGET ABOUT IT. Apparently it counts as litter. And yeh, I’m really likely to forget about a ****ing PYRAMID, aren’t I?! What a stupid rule.

(Note: I’m aware it’s a triangle not a pyramid, but Coke Pyramid sounds cooler somehow)

Since then in the afternoon, I’ve done, well…nothing, really. Nothing exciting, in any case. I did some revision, but otherwise I’ve pissed the day away. I finally started Case 4-3 on Apollo Justice (check out my opinions thus far in my AJ Playthrough topic!).
