Can you write your life story in no more and no less than fourteen words? Here’s mine:
I was born, I learned to talk and learned to draw. Then art started.
Ready? Go!

Eep! I have my exams next week. I am devising mnemonics for different psychology words. For pictorial cues I use HITLER: Height in the visual field, interpositioning, texture-gradient, linear perspective and relative size.
Mmm, mnemonics. Tomorrow is the last day of unit 3.
I can’t wait until the (Disappointingly short…!) holidays!Then I can finally make my blog look a little prettier.
I love this site. I have the FEED for Gods sake. It’s a little weird, but makes me hungry!

This happens, without fail, every time we have a guest over: Mum gives us performance reviews.
Today someone came over and about five minutes after she left Mum turned to me, ready to give me my Performance Review.
“Melinda,” She began “I liked how you were chatty and sociable this time, but I wish you wouldn’t make M laugh because of jokes you made about me. She’ll start every conversation with ‘Hey, do you remember that dig your daughter made about you and your…?’. Well, it was better than the last time. You didn’t even talk then,”
“… Thanks Mum”
And then she wandered off, most likely to give my brother or Dad his performance review, or to evaluate her own performance. I bet she has review check lists she fills out after every guest has left. That makes a funny mental image.
It’s one of her cute quirks! While being slightly irritating at times, it makes me laugh and wonder how she got into the habit. I think I may subconsciously take her advice an ‘improve’ a little each time someone comes over.

Yeah so it looks like someone has taken some of my pictures from here and passed them off as their own…? It’s a strange feeling. I didn’t expect anything like that to happen because, well, I assumed no one would see it as ‘fit’ for taking.
For all the RSS fiends who use Firefox: Check out Sage! I acquired it today and it is indispensable.
I have my mid years coming up. Eep! Luckily, I just have two: Psychology and the GAT.
I had such an interesting thought but now I’ve lost it. Bah. This is post is completely all over the place.
Also… I’ve given into temptation and signed up with Flickr! Mmm… Photos.

I had a really scary dream in which I sat all of my VCE exams a month early and had a nervous breakdown in the examination room because I had all of my exams in a row and couldn’t remember anything. It was, well, a nightmare.
And then I ended up failing all of them. And that was the end. My only consolation is, uh… That definitely won’t happen in real life! Nope nope nope…

A photo I took of my cousin. Aww! She is very photogenic. I take masses of photos of her.
