One Track Mind
Forgive me if my posts are more sporadic than their usual sporadicity (I know I know, not a word). My computer power cord has decided to give up the ghost. At first I thought it was my laptop and I was very concerned, but then I plugged it in with my friend's cord today and it works, so I guess I have to buy another stupid 89 dollar cord for this thing. This is the third Toshiba satellite I've heard of within my class that has a broken power cord... I think they may have a product reliability problem.
I'm also cramming like I've never crammed before (or similarly, probably, to how I crammed for Christmas exams) trying to learn all of resp, renal and cardio in the next week and a half. Exams start April 13th and I'm scared shitless (as usual). Thank god I've got my tunes. I was thinking today that exam time is that time when I listen to one album obsessively over and over. It becomes my study soundtrack. Sometimes it can be one song. I tune it out mostly but I'll forever associate that album/song with that exam thereafter. This exam period it's the Dixie Chicks album "Taking the long way" which I bought right after I saw their movie "Shut up and Sing". This album has some great catchy tunes and some really nice sad ballads and a few real country numbers. I'm not what I would call a country music fan, but I've always liked the chicks and this album is their best yet.
Past exam albums have included: K.T. Tunstall - Eye to the Telescope
Mashups by various artists including soulwax
I am Sam Sountrack (beatles covers by various artists)
The Weakerthans - Fallow

I was trying to read the first few paragraphs of that post, valiantly battling the urge to look up at the pic, and desperately trying to find the past of the post that had anything to do with the Dixie Chicks. Thanks for making me wait til the end :P
Heh. And as testament to the difference in mental competence between you and me, my exam album is the Borat soundtrack...
(No, I'm not insane. Honest!)
Oh dear, the best of luck with the exams - believe you me I know the feeling of knowing that you've basically got to cram solid for the next few weeks...
Good luck!
And bloody power cords... they're a rip off!!
