a busy monday
October 1 2012
10.04 AM
Am blogging cos I have a break in between my classes now but this is going to be a quick one because I want to take a nap.
I just got back an assignment which consists 7.5% of my grade for my Comparative Politics class. I was really afraid of turning over to the back of the paper to see how I'd fared but surprisingly I got a 91, which is an A or A-??? I don't see how this could have happened. How could I have bullshitted through a paper and got an A/A-?
Most of time when I'm doing papers (save for English) I'm blindly stumbling through the words and texts and I don't really find that I have perceptive things to say. Maybe I expect too much from myself but I really don't understand what I'm learning. As much as it makes me happy, I don't really think I'm deserving of the grade I got :/
But fall break is coming really soon and I'm, well, kind of excited. Why the lack of enthusiasm, you may ask – I'm excited about going to New York this weekend but I have kind of drifted a little from Ji-hee so I don't know how the trip is going to be :/ Plus Song Qian sort of broke up with his girlfriend so he's been in quite a foul mood. Hopefully the trip makes him feel better though, all right I shall make it my personal mission to see that he feels at least a little better by the end of the trip hahaha. Yuan is helping us sort out the itinerary for what we're going to do and she has sent me a couple of pages to view online but we haven't settled on anything yet, bah.
Perhaps the one good thing – okay I'm exaggerating, there was more than one good thing I suppose – that came out of the camping trip last weekend was my newly acquired experience of "star tipping". When I did it I got so excited and the first thing I thought of was, how am I going to show this to all my friends back in Singapore? I miss everyone very dearly.
10.43 AM
I just laid down on the rug in the middle of my dorm room for 20 minutes. Spent the first 10 minutes trying to nap but to no avail so I gave up. Was so reluctant to peel myself off the floor and head off for class. And then I switched on my phone front camera and moved it around to see my ugliest angles. I laughed at how ugly I am HAHAHAHAHA that gave me energy to move.
3.32 PM
Just had a meeting with my Comparative Politics professor and the pre-law advisor. Should I take law? Questions, questions.
Work later from 4 to 5 PM. It's only an hour but I don't feel like going. Somebody help me get out of bed!
5.03 PM
Just came back from work meeting and finished my last granola bar. I need to go to Wal-mart soon cos I need to buy a new crate of water. I don't wanna drink out of the water cooler nooooo /spoilt brat
I screwed up my schedule for Wednesday and now I have two events to run to at the same time – one for work and one for my new International Studies class. How am I going to survive! Somebody hand me Hermione's Time-Turner!
7.41 PM
After a long walk down and up Park Ave I have emerged victorious back in my dorm room with Asian food yay. Only downside is I feel fat now cos I ate too much. All right time to do a bit of work and then shower and then my day is complete!!! :-)
