fare thee well wednesday and ye 35 (90) degree weather! it was sooo hot I had to walk to mcdonalds after school to buy myself a mcflurry!! not sure if I was happy or sad or whatever, but I could go out in tanks and shorts and flipflops… strange that I felt happy doing that seeing as to how I will have ample opportunity for that in SINGAPORE. which will be in like, a month. omg exactly a month.
fare thee well wednesday and ye waking hours of work! I got home, devoured my mcflurry in front of my computer, and consequently got completely distracted… the wonders of sugar and glucose in your blood… my heart started pumping, my blood rushed through my veins as I bobbed to “hockey music” on my iTunes. so I surfed the net for hockey gear and bought stuff for inline hockey. inline skates, inline pants, tape, wadeva -_- you get the idea. I spent $200 plus exorbitant shipping fees (to outside of the US!!). my good awesome fishing graciousness this obsession with hockey has got to sTOP.
1 more day to go and my world will be 7/8 on its way to change, 2 more days to go and my much loved much missed bro who is 4″ taller and 10lbs lighter than me will be arriving in sydney, stick style.
wokay NEED to write my final final paper now.. I love you D&HD but I just don’t think I’ll be seeing you anymore. so lets just get this thing over and done with.

its an undeniably good feeling and overwhelming sense of happiness when you get back your marked papers and see that all that pain you went through actually paid off. I’m on a roll here… though I wonder if I can keep this up till the end. only 2 final papers to go. and then exams. then I’ll know for sure

its freaking 10am in the morning and I’m in the psych lab. and WHY? BECAUSE MY FRIGGING 10AM CLASS WAS CANCELLED. no prior notice whatsoever! how irresponsible of whatshername! she could have e-mailed us right? instead she chose to walk into class this morning telling us she was going on strike. what in the fishing heavens??? for goodness’ sake just e-mail us the night before and save us all sleep deprived students an early morning and trip to school. GOSH. now should I go home or should I hang around in school for another 4 friggin hours before my next class? or will that class also be cancelled?
stupid aussie uni strike day. aughh.

i was just thinking to myself today as i zoned out in class, once again…
these days i NEVER wake up for a 9am class, rarely make it for a 10am class, barely crawl into an 11am class, and it’s a good day if i’m punctual for a class at noon. i often wonder to myself now how i ever made it through all those years of compulsory education where classes began at 730 or 8am, and school assemblies at 7- means waking up at 6am. seems like a completely impossible notion at the moment… i’m impressed with my past young self
anyway. tracked out to bondi today to conduct an ‘experiment’ on a child. for my devt lab on false beliefs. eeeee so cute! last year i also did one on conservation or something. whooohoo smart kid got everything right which either proved the theory right or wrong. hee
then since i was already at bondi i decided to buy milk and bread to eat. and whilst i did that i sHOPPED. mygosh. so yea ends up i bought some shoes cus i didn’t really bring shoes with me to aussie anyway. (i was beginning to worry that my one pair of shoes would break and i should have to go barefoot) so i was walking past steve madden and saw that they had a sale, so i bought 2 pairs of flats haha
to me this is disgusting, i feel like a shopaholic though i know this ‘shopping’ i did ranks on a pathetic scale against the REAL shoppers ie. my mama
yikes reading my socioling text now anyway. interesting chap- codes. yay!

I’m easily contented-
it’s funny how simple little things can put a smile on my face
and then I end up looking like a goofy fool smiling to myself.
thank goodness I’m at home right now so there’s no one to notice that…
anyway, I just webcammed with Noli!! haven’t seen her in ages it was so nice! and haha, saw some old videos on her blog… that’s where the smile began.
haven’t seen snow in 2 years… but there’s a chance that it will snow -flurries- tonight. we’ll see. :)
studying for tomorrow’s exam now.
overate again today. the original pancake house with ubcers- 4 pancakes (2 buttermilk, 2 chocolate chip), 2 scrambled eggs. I finished it all.
