Now all I have to worry about are essay results

Now all I have to worry about are essay results

My 3 essay deadlines are over and I can finally do certain things like cooking a proper meal, watching Gossip Girl while eating and surfing the net without feeling guilty that I'm wasting time on unecessary things like this instead of mugging for my essay and my upcoming test next Thursday. I slept really early like 1am (cuz every night this week has been after 4am and Friday night was 6am) last night and had almost 12 hours of perfect, uninterrupted sleep till I suddenly woke up at 12-ish this afternoon. Gosh, its so good to have total deep sleep uninterrupted by alarms and hitting snooze buttons. Needless to say I didn't wanna get out of my warm bed and spent the next 2 hours reading a novel in bed (this is my ultimate fav thing to do) till I finally got up and went to see what my housemates were up to because the flat was so freaking quiet for a Saturday afternoon.

Uhh anyway we had a hearts rematch where my partner and I totally trounced the other two. Yay, winning the first hearts game of 2009 seems like a good start! :D And we had a round of gin which is an abridged version of gin rummy and after that we swapped Christmas gifts (yeah I know Christmas was over like 2 weeks ago but the 3 of us only came back in January and we all had essays to do mah!) So I basically had no lunch except for 2 ham sandwiches and we all lounged around chilling and discussing what interesting things to do for the weekend to celebrate our essay finishing but we are very staid people so we just ended up playing cards and having a great time. Hmm this is so turning into a primary school, 'What I did during the holidays' kinda essay except this is a 'What I did on the first weekend after essay break when I still have a test to study for' post.

Ooh and I watched 3 episodes of Gossip Girl during dinner which means I only have 2 more eps on my hard disc and I have to watch the rest online. Sigh. Why la did Bart Bass have to die? Kesian la Chuck especially since they started to reconnect... Shoot I just realised that I forgot to take my double dosage of vitamins again and I totally forgot about taking my cough medicine again. Oh wth why do I always have to remember stuff like this right before bedtime and its not good to eat vitamins at night and I don't wanna step in the cold kitchen to eat medicine. =( Anyway I realise I have a lot of travel-holiday posts to put up. Like Scotland in summer, Langkawi and Malacca with the high school gang and with the college girls, and Vietnam with my family and New York in December with my sister. Somehow I've got this feeling they won't be up anytime soon cause I have this upcoming test and I'm too lazy to grab the camera transfer cable from the drawer next to me and because I have to clear my table, attend to housework and do laundry...

Okay I wanna go somewhere during Reading Week in February but I don't know where I wanna go and I don't know who to go with. The housemates are not too keen on holidaying during that 1 week. Anybody up for a short trip to somewhere in UK or maybe Europe? And does anybody wanna go anywhere with me during my 5 weeks of Easter break? Granted I need to study and do my assignments but I have 5 weeks and currently no firm plans yet, except maybe if I can convince my parents to let me join them in New York (I would be super delighted if I could and not because of the shopping but because in the past 3 years, full family attendance at holidays have been rare with my sis and I studying abroad). I will probably go to Europe (Italy/Rome or maybe Spain?) with the housemates but all that taken into consideration and the fact that no one has confirmed anything with me yet, I am open to suggestions.

Something I realised here is that I have a very limited circle of superclose friends and the rest are just classmates or hi-bye acquaintances. And with the lack of things to do around here, its something that takes getting used to. Compared to back home where there's always something to do with someone, I just feel a little closed up here. But at the same time I'm also glad of the privacy that my anonymity brings me. No one I know from uni reads this blog (I think) and its kinda safe and nice here. Very comfort zone. And maybe what I need is to move out of it and start being more open. But its a little hard to do so and I'm not sure how to do it and if I really want to lose this anonymity that I've kinda gotten used to. Haih.

Omg, its almost 3am and I need to get up by 10am tmr so I can do something productive before going off to church. Jeez, I wish I would get tired. I mean I know that if I lie down now I will sleep but I don't like going to bed unless I'm tired cuz it feels like a waste of time to me when I can be awake and doing something else. Sigh. I guess I'll go get my camera cable out and upload pics. Okay here's a little sneak preview of NY...
Me in Upper East Side Central Park going to the Guggenheim Museum with Robyn on the day where it snowed like crazy and I didn't check the weather forecast. Snow is so pretty!!! =)
