Wow. To be honest, I can't remember the last time I agreed so much on an opinion but couldn't voice my approval. But definitely, I agree 100%.
Anyway, back to blog proper. It's been a hard few days, tests and projects. I'm just glad I can now take a breather, it's been that hectic.
On the good news side of things, I managed to maintain a 100% record in Stats. 100 for the first test (which everybody SHOULD get full marks for, what with the unlimited number of tries we had), and 100 for the second test. It feels great to have this perfect record, although the feeling is somewhat cheapened by the fact that quite a number of people (in the whole course) have this perfect record too. Still, that doesn't take much away from the achievement, haha.
FOM presentation today was... well, quite alright. I should and could have done better, but overall I'm still quite satisfied. Some of the marks awarded to some of the people in the class are questionable, however. I for one certainly feel Ranson deserved more; he was clear, concise, and consistent. I don't know what more you can ask for. Well, hope everything works out as they should.
Let's see, anything else? Oh yeah, my brother's back from his study trip/holiday in Europe. Got me some nice stuff, a Euro 08 T-shirt and a Man Utd scarf. He's also grown fatter and has let his hair grow out, hahaha. While I can't say that I've really missed him while he was gone (it's just the way I am, plus the fact that I've been crazy busy in recent times), it feels great to have him back. In many ways he is the 'balance' in my life. Equal portions of all things, that's what he provides. He always looks to have a laugh and enjoy life, but when it's crunch time, it would be hard to find someone more serious about the job at hand.
To think that we used to fight all the time. He changed after being called up for National Service. Don't know what it was that changed him, but ever since then we've been the best of pals. We share, on most counts, the same taste in music. We both love GTA. We're able to talk to each other about all sorts of things, and most of the time we're on the same wavelength.
Back when I was less mature, he also used to be the connection between me and my parents. He saw both sides of the coin, and managed things brilliantly, finding a common ground between the two sides. For that, I really have to thank him.
I could go on and on, really. There's just so many things to say about my relationship with my brother. It's been an interesting journey of events thus far, and long may it continue.
I'll end off with this song by Led Zeppelin, called Dazed and Confused. Don't know if the majority of you would be able to identify with the emotion that I think this song is supposed to give off, that of the angry drunk. You know, like someone who starts to complain about everything that he's been keeping inside him all the while once the drink has thrown all his inhibitions out the window. It's a brilliant song, a great tool to channel anger and frustration with.
This was the best live version of the song I could find, and it is interesting to see the innovation with the violin bow. The raw emotion involved, however, is the main draw for me. Enjoy, and au revoir for now.
Led Zeppelin - Dazed And Confused
Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true Wanted a woman, never bargained for you Lots of people talk and few of them know, Soul of a woman was created below
You hurt and abuse tellin' all of your lies Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been Gonna love you baby, here I come again
Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard earned pay Try to love you baby, but you push me away Don't know where you're goin', only know just where you've been, Sweet little baby, I want you again
Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true Wanted a woman, never bargained for you Take it easy baby, let them say what they will Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?
