I Spoke Too Soon

Haih. Rookie mistakes. Thought I'd finally shaken off all those stupid little mistakes. Turns out... they were just compiling them and waiting to hit me with them all at once. 9 sheets today. 9 mistakes.... accumulated over the past... dunno how long. Also.... thought that cold went off for good already. Turns out it was just laying low... waiting to come back with a vengeance.

On the plus side.... Quite nice things have been happening. Yesterday, my phone charger broke. Went to the Three Centre and they told my it was not covered under warranty and I had to replace it but they didn't have one in stock. So I went to the Nokia Care Centre. The lady there was so nice. She replaced it for me at no cost because she recognised me from before.

Watched the Simpsons Movie today after work. Was quite hilarious. The 1 1/2 hours flew by just like that. Was pretty sorry that it was over so soon.

That's it for now I guess.
Stay tuned.

Tired

Been quite exhausted this past week or so. Probably a spillover from the Harry Potter weekend where on Friday, finished work at 9.30 got back at 10.30, slept at 12.30 and woke up at 4.30. And the spillover lasted a week so far. Can't seem to convince myself to go to bed early. As a result... my concentration suffers. Been behaving a little odd for the past few days...

Ah well. Anyway, First week of classes. Horrible horrible timetable cos there's like 2 5 o'clock classes with not much in between. So it's like... morning classes... then 3-4 hours in between until the next class which is really stupid cos I can't do much else in then.

Work's been okay... gradually falling into a routine there. At least I'm not making any more stupid rookie mistakes. Back to 20 hours a week now... which doesn't seem to be enough. My pay suffers accordingly.

On the subject of pay, my expenditure this month has been horrendous. I really could have got by with less. Have to start cutting back on some of the luxuries... games... shows... clothes... etc.

Things have been pretty quiet nowadays although I suppose the pace will pick up in the coming weeks as school is in now. Don't really have much to do nowadays so mucking around on my computer playing the odd game or so and reading people's blogs :-)

This is interesting. Apparently I'm more eloquent when I'm feeling lethargic than I do when I'm perky as evidenced by the length of this post. Hmm... side effect. Interesting parallel with the Ed. Board days when I also had a general lack of sleep but could come up with all sorts of ideas to write down. Oh well. Suppose if I ever need to write next time... must sleep-deprive myself first.

That's it I suppose....

The End

There. I've done it. I've finished The Book.

For all my talk of not taking it up tonight because I wouldn't be able to put it down, I did it. There'll be hell to pay tomorrow I guess. Something to do with the lack of sleep over the past couple of days... but I guess I'll just have to handle it somehow.

Okay. Bedtime.

P-Day

Well... it's here.

P-Day. Potter Day.

Just got about 4 hours of sleep. Then have to work again. Don't know how I'm gonna stand it... but somehow... I must. 9 hours of standing at the registers. Don't quite know what to expect. Long lines? Rushing crowds? Hmm...

Anyway, gotta rush. have to leave in 52 minutes.

I'm Dying....

Or so someone says...

Bad... bad... bad cold/cough.

Been hacking my way through everything these few days and it's getting really annoying. I mean... I 'd be talking to a customer and suddenly he's wondering why I'm turning red in the face and looking like I'm ready to pop. Not good at all. Went to see a nurse today.... told me to drink more fluids and get some more rest... and said it could last up to 6 weeks. Gosh! 6 weeks...

On the plus side, HP day's coming up. Just got my tie in the post so I'm all ready (almost) for the big day. Wonder if it'll be as big as everyone's making it up to be. Well... we'll see. We'll see. At least I've got my copy preordered and ready and I should get the Plush Owl too. Also going for a post-potter party.... dunno how that'll turn out yet. I'll try to get pics and stuff to post.... but don't hold it against me if I don't. :-P

That's it for now. Until next time.

Feelin' Good....

The week's been quite okay... aside from the fact that my phone had to go into the shop again... The screen was busted. Got a new one though :-). New screen that is.

And...I've been having a flu these past four or so days. Got until my voice was like really scratchy at the end of today.

All that aside, I'm feeling pretty good. Work's been fun... warming up to my colleagues slightly. I've got some new stuff... new books... shows... games.... etc. So... life's been good.

That's it I guess.

Over and Out.

Relieved

I was soooo nervous.
My results came out today.

Turns out, I got a 4 (pass) for Biochem and 6 (distinction) for Genetics, Animal and Microbiology.
Really, really a relief. I thought Biochem was a goner for sure. Although it's slightly saddening, to think that if I'd been more alert and attentive, I could've maybe gotten higher for Animal and Micro? Then again... I shouldn't be dwelling on maybes.... Good thing is... I passed BIOCHEM!!!!

In other news, woke up with a horrible flu couple of days ago. Probably cos of all those late nights (damn you internal clock...). But... it's improving... with the help of Dimetapp. Hehe. I'm turning into a druggie.

Today was my day off... went to the Westfield Chermside shopping centre. Not bad. Very big. Lots of shops. Didn't buy much though. They had a Borders there. Made me miss Queensbay quite a bit cause it's almost like it. Same design, same tables, shelves and everything. Borders in the city is quite different. Old style I think. The shelves are deeper and higher and everything's just different. Harder for me. But.... what they hey... I can rough it... I'll adapt.

And... that's all for now I guess. Now playing the Harry Potter OOTP videogame. Can't wait for the movie and the book to come out. Still don't know what I'll be doing for the costume though.

Dos vidanya.
