Feeling Good.

Well exams have finished and it feels great! No more stressing or late nights, no desk covered in paper or red bull and nodoz. I'm looking forward to a solid nights sleep tonight, even though I need to be up at 7am for work!

My exam this morning was as to be expected - 28 questions worth 10 marks each over 3 hours (or 5 minutes each question). Not too pressing, if you knew what you were talking about. Then again, half the fun is not knowing what you're talking about, and creating some long winded story as to how the atmosphere formed involving aliens and asparagus. The exam was for "The Blue Planet", or in laymans terms, Geology. Over the semester we covered everything from Earth as a system, to atmospheric conditions, plate tectonics and magnetism, thermohaline circulation of the oceans, and the origins of marine biota. Yes, safe to say there was s**tloads of information to process.

But my friends and I battled through it and came out the other end somewhat unharmed. We spent the next 2 hours in the pub chatting over the exams they still had to go (chemistry and maths), and whether or not a human and a chimp could procreate and form a sterile being, similar to the way horses and donkeys make mules (thanks for that topic, Bela). 2pm rolled around and I needed to be home by 5pm to take my sister to diving training. I figured I'd hit the gym for those hours in between; I went for a run, did some light weights, more cardio and some ab work. I'm not much of a sporty person anymore (I used to be a national level swimmer), but I have to admit that after the last few weeks, hitting the gym and stretching out those muscles felt pretty damn good.

Aside from that, not much has been happening. Haven't talked to Sam since Sunday, but he's a first-grade AFL player and they started pre-season training this week, so I guess I cant complain. His best friend Matt,who I do most of my courses with, told me something interesting one night when we were out. He said that when footy season starts I would come second to Sam's training and games, and that I should be prepared to share. I can understand that, but I didn't think it would come around so soon.

Anyway, I must be off to take my sister to training, but here is the track listing of my favourite album to work out to: it gets you in the mood amazingly well and helps you keep a rhythm while you pump that iron!
