Of ends of eras and new look obsessions

 Second Critical Thinking exam was today. Thank God for that! Now I never have to think about that subject again! At least, not until the results come out...

I've recently gained a bit of an obsession with New Look. I just love everything in there! Unfortunately I'm not very good with winter clothes. I either need to buy more jumpersWHICH NOWHERE SEEMS TO SELL EVER) or somehow stop myself from feeling the cold so (easily!

Music today is a Bon Jovi cover by Pekka Heino. He is seriously my favourite singer at the moment.

Of potential pub brawls and Shakespearean views

I have recently realised that my entire view of life is based on Romeo And Juliet.
I believe that love and hate always come in pairs. Like binary oppositions in media studies. One cannot exist without the other. If there is no hate, how can you know what love is?
However, I also firmly believe that love will triumph in the end. Although Romeo and Juliet take their own lives, they are together in death, and their families are brought together in grief. As long as someone is always holding on to that hope that love will triumph, then one day that hope will become a reality. If hope is lost, then what? Losing hope can have disasterous effects, both physically and mentally, and I've seen what it can do to a person. Although I'd really rather not go into that.

Ok, enough pensive-ness for the moment. The soundtrack to the Romeo and Juliet filmbought in town today. I went there with brought it on, which I Emi and Georgie, where they planned the conception of their Californian bar. I don't think my interjections of "Finns!" at random intervals were particularly helpful, but hey, you can't have everything in life. My apparent ability to be a deep thinker is balanced with the fact that I have no idea when to shut up.

Today's music is from the soundtrack.

Of university courses and jamming

I looked at some university courses today. I'm probably going to study music. Perhaps a joint course in music and creative writing, that'd be amazing. You can also study a variety of bizzare subjects, including Viking studies, pig, and Ed.

We were studying Thomas Hardy in English and I actually really liked the poem! It kind of summed up what I think about life in a really poetic, metaphorical way. I believe it was called Under The Waterfall.

Watched Emi and Carmen (and Georgie as the music stand since she forgot her bass) practicing a kind of Avenged-Sevenfold-medley for their media studies project at lunch. I bloody love jam sessions, and although Avenged Sevenfold isn't really my kind of music, one of the songs was really nice, particularly with the addition of Carmen's violin. I settled for being the techie/groupie/comforter for Georgie, since she's the one who lovesdrummer recently passed away :(. the band and their

In the meantime, I rediscovered last.fm. Four of my top five bands are Finnish. And the other is Swedish. I think I gave up on English music.
