Back to the real world!
It appears you've been away for a few days.
This statement is true. I was away camping with the family. Well more precisely, some of my mum's cousins and their families, which is always nice. I love getting away from everything and being able to sit around a campfire and read for hours, which is something I never really get the chance to otherwise, but I'm back to Canberra now, which is so-so. It's nice to see everyone, but I'm not overly looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
Why so? You always seem more like the academic type.
Yeah, I'd say that to a certain extent, but there are times where you just don't really feel like it. Frustrating maths tests don't really help, but there's probably something deeper. One of my friends is off overseas next semester and I query a little bit whether it wasn't worth applying overseas, considering so many people from IChO got into really prestigious universities. I suppose ANU though is a pretty good university and PhB is a pretty amazing degree, but I feel like there's better places. I hate having to justify my decisions to other people though.
This seems a little more deep than some of the previous posts.
Yeah, I'd say that too. Maybe it's just the feeling of going back to UniLodge, which, while I'm on the top, one of the taps was leaking while I was away so my carpet is all lovely and damp, which is great. The shoebox of a unit doesn't really help my mood. I like the people here, but I feel to a certain extent that I don't really have any close friends. I know though that I take ages to make new close friends, so I'm not too fussed about it. I suppose it's easier to communicate via the Internet these days than it ever has been before.
Bedtime seems imminent and 9 am lectures aren't fun at the best of times. I feel like I should almost be more poetic, but really, pragmatism wins.

I Whip My Hair
I do whip my hair back and forth from time to time.
Whip your hair!
If I did, I'd potentially bang my head on the table. Anyway, Whip My Hair has so little relevance to anything, except hair whipping. I mean, it's fun and all, but yeah, do it too much and you'll get whiplash.
So I heard you saw some friends today?
Yes, this is true. I enjoying seeing my friends, especially considering I hadn't seen them in a while, so it was nice to see them and all. This is why living away from home is a bit of a downer. I mean, I've made a lot of new friends, but I find it takes roughly two years for me to feel like I'm actually close friends with someone and it's been a little over two months at the moment.
Does this mean you don't like people?
No, I like people most of the time, however I do have my days where I do feel somewhat misanthropic. I enjoy the word misanthropic, but the feeling itself is irksome. I was feeling rather misanthropic for a couple of weeks there, which wasn't overly fun. I mean, I live in a building with a whole lot of people, some of whom I like more than others, which is understandable, but a whole lot who I feel I just don't know. Partly I blame the design of the building for that, there's simply not enough common space for 419 residents. I think I harbour far too much resentment for not getting into a college, but really, for the purpose I'm at university for, where I am is really lacking.
Wow. Bitch fest much?
That isn't the half of it.
To happier territory, upcoming plans?
Away with the family over the Easter weekend on the annual Easter weekend trip, which I didn't go on last year as it clashed with Easter training for Olympiad, but I enjoyed that as well. I do hope there's venison this year again. Venison is amazing and far too difficult to find in Canberra.
Wait, why is this post titled "I Whip My Hair"?
As has been previously stated, I do whip my hair from time to time. Also the song is downright terrible. Up there with Friday, which I do have a soft spot for, and My Jeans, which I do not have a soft spot for and I think that song is amongst some of the snarkiest pieces of lyric writing out there.
Yesterday was Maundy Thursday, today it is Good Friday. We we we so excited, we so excited, we gonna celebrate the resurrection of Christ. Tomorrow is Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday comes afterwards. I don't want the Holy Week to end!

Blini Pan? Nonsense?
It is often curious what I do, even in my own eyes.
Why did I name my blog after a particular type of pan used to make small pancakes?
Not even I know really.
Why did I start blogging when there's no real significant change in my life?
Also a good question. I thought about starting up a blog when I moved into university, but didn't really get around to it. I'm feeling a lot more settled now and even, dare I say it, somewhat organised! I'm NEVER organised, so it's an entirely bizarre feeling! In a good way, though.
Don't shoot the messenger!
This is a lesson that I am yet to fully learn, but I hope I use that little piece of wisdom if it ever comes to a situation where it comes in handy. I will freely admit that I am fairly naïve at times. However I do have a little more street sense than some of my friends.
Why are you listening to Mahler's First Symphony at the moment?
It's great! It's a huge nature scene in my mind, which is actually like a lot of the classical music I like. Vaughan Williams comes to mind particularly. Music which is so incredibly vivid in its imagery really gets to me.
Do you really want those small pancakes?
Yes, I could actually for some small pancakes right about now.
I think you get where the nonsense part of the title comes from now. Does it feel slightly thought disordered to you? Maybe, just maybe, it will get slightly less nonsensical as I blog more.
