Popping eyeballs

So, exams were over more than 24 hours ago. I still haven't done anything hyperly productive yet. Unless onlining and watching a DVD counts. And making my throat even worse by scorfing toasted bread with butter and peanut butter with chocolate stripes while dvd-ing. Did I tell you I love eating when I watch idiot box? And one of my favourite things to eat in front of the tv is instant noodles and toasted bread along with cold ribena?

My study table is immaculate. It always is after an examination. But I didn't clear it today. I cleared it over the weekend when the piles of books and notes were cascading over and the only empty space I had on my table was the size of an opened book. That was when I decided I had to stop and reorganise my table before the tottering stacks fell with a resounding crash to the parquet floor. So up when all my books and files into the cupboards, those loose-leaved foolscap paper became neatly bound together with ribbons, stationaries all put away nicely in froggie and suddenly, I could see more of my light brown wooden table surface than I'd ever seen in the past 2 weeks. After every paper, I'd come to my studyroom and file away my docket and take out my timetable and savagely slash through that subject column with a 0.7 dark blue Faber-Castell pen. It was my only form of physically letting out my exam frustration (other than beating up someone) and it felt wickedly good to see that viciously indented thick line across the small black print that denoted the time and venue of those agonizing hours.

And now I've only got a 2-inch stack on my table consisting of unread 'The Economists', a pink file and some beribboned foolscap paper. Oh, I've just counted and I've got 8 'The Economists' that I haven't read, the result of putting off my weekly reading session. And I'm going to finish it by hook or by crook eventhough I currently don't intend to do further economics because who knows, I might end up doing something along that line, or even if I don't, its still useful and interesting knowledge to have (Yup I know that sounds nerdy and all but hey, whatever!) and also because the subscriptions already paid and I might as well make full use of it. =p

The only thing that is there and shouldn't be there and I don't want to have there is a tiny ziploc bag stuffed with honey lemon Strepsils, pink Difflam and white Panadols. Damn, I wish I wasn't having a cough+minor sore throat+running nose. I hate being sick. Grr! I wish common colds and flu could just be vanished away. I'm not hoping for it to fly away at the flick of a magic wand, but I'll settle for its disappearance at the pop of a tablet. Sadly, the only recourse seems to be lots of water and vitamins and to wait for the ailment to run its course. Sigh.

I think imma go watch my taped Desperate Housewives instead of sitting in an aircond room sneezing my head off and getting more annoyed and feeling more miserable.

p/s : If you don't close your eyes when you sneeze, will your eyeballs really pop out?
