tired

i'm feeling: tired
listening to: final fantasy X ost - luca

Well, I'm glad that's over. Exams aren't much fun. It was good though, I found that exam pretty easy. Easier than last year's unit 3 exam, which we did as a practice exam. There were only a couple of questions I wasn't quite sure about it, but I'm confident I won't lose an outrageous amount of marks.

Tomorrow I have to sit the GAT though, which will probably be the most boring exam I'll ever take. It stands for General Aptitude Test for those of you who don't know. They use it to derive your exam marks if you're sick during the end of year exams. It's just general knowledge, sort of, so you can't study for it (not that that's a bad thing :P), but it is three hours long, which is a real drag. The essays that you have to write for it seem pretty lame. Last year's was about diamonds, and I think a couple of years ago it was about ducks. Ducks. Then again, if we get a topic like that, it might be really fun to write.

Also, I finished the first season of Code Geass. Was there always going to be a second season? Because if not... what a way to end it! Gees! Wouldn't want any form of closure or anything. :P

Not like Chrono Crusade, which ends with three out of the four main characters dying, only to have the villain come back to the world sixty years later. Oh, good! So it was all for nothing then. Good to know. I'm not bitter...

There were some really gut-wrenching moments though. Ones that wouldn't have seemed as tragic if I didn't have such great affection for most of the characters.

Like when Lelouch shot Euphemia, and you see Suzaku look so happy that he's found her finally ("Euphie!"). The look on his face when he sees her fall... Good God, it was like a stab to the heart/knee to the groin, if I was a boy.

I like Lelouch and Suzaku in different ways, though. I mean, despite his being a massive psycho at times, Lelouch is just kind of cool. He does really care about his friends. Suzaku included, really. Obviously, sometimes he gets pushed to the edge. In the end, I don't think he'd ever hurt any of them if he didn't have to in his moments of psycho-ness. On the other hand, I always find myself (while watching) calling Suzaku 'honey', 'darling', or 'sweetie', when I talk to him/feel sorry for him in my head (come on, who doesn't do that? Talk to characters while you're watching, that is) in a sort of motherly tone. I think it's because he's so lovely, you just want to give him a hug. Honestly, the stuff that boy goes through!

But yes, I enjoyed the first season thoroughly.

And I need a Code Geass icon.

ETA: The GAT went fine. We wrote about bees. :3
