It's been a week of stress..and still,there's more to come...been hanging out in my favourite place, the library, the past few days..reading up for this essay due on tuesday..it's worth 50% of one of my modules,which doesn't help the stress levels....also,the fact that the lecturer who teaches this module comes across as knowing her subject really really well gives me the shivers....i feel so much pressure to produce a masterpiece for her,simply cos she's taught it so well....also,I can't exactly just put down stuff she's taught me(i.e. books on the reading list)...i need to find extra info she ain't heard of yet...gawd,the stress is most definitely getting to me...thank goodness,there's a huge party goin on tonite,it should be a good break from the work....*grin*..i was in the pub last night too,this whole "i'm-stressed-and-need-to-chill-out" reason is certainly justification for all sorts of hedonistic behaviour!wahey!

I watched "The Passion" very recently and it was the most intense cinematic experience I have ever had to endure. I hope I never see it again,I don't think I could cope.It was the first time I have ever shed tears in a cinema and it was so draining that I had to go straight to the pub after. It was so graphic and so painful to watch. One chap watching the movie walked out fairly early on,came back and then walked out again and didn't come back...I don't blame him. It was such a moving movie which has really gotten me thinking the past few days.....oh my goodness me......

Poem of the Day:

Miss you Miss

I drank till I stank,
Of alcohol.
And I forgot my name,
But I remembered yours.
And I missed you,
At that moment.
The next morning,
My head hurt.
I felt rough,
And out of love.
But I didn't miss you anymore.
I didn't miss you.

I seem to be entering a period in my life where injury threatens at every corner,quite literally.I am most definitely getting old and decrepit.That said,in spite of my current feeble state,I had a most random but enjoyable weekend.I worked as a dresser at the St Andrews "Don't Walk" charity fashion show and had a smashing time.It was pretty well organised and the models/students all looked fantastic.I don't know if I agree with the spray-on fake tans they had but apart from that,I think the whole affair was a pretty enjoyable experience in spite of the 5 mile walk which me and Sam took to get to the event.....*groan*

As I type this,I sit here listening to "alone again(naturally)" by Gilbert O'Sullivan. Irvine Welsh was so right when he said that this is the ultimate "nae mates" song....it always makes me smile(sadly) cos I don't feel half so lousy after listening to Gilbert.Hooray for Gilbert!Ur sadness makes others such as I feel better abt themselves.And for that,I am thankful.On a more cheerful note,Aidan my buddy o'pal has told me of his plans to cook me dinner later tonite and that pleases me.Why?Because Aidan is an amazing cook.He could probably put a fry a plastic ruler and it'd still taste delicious.Yippee...I cannae wait for dinner tonite....but before that,I've got to get me some sleep first.goodbye to youse,I'm off to find the zzzzs.

It's been a satisfying day.I cooked spaghetti bolognaise(did i spell this right?!) for 4 of my flatmates..it made me feel good to give them dinner....it turned out well and it gave me something to do apart from feel sorry for myself...battling jet lag and the flu at the same time does not a happy tim make.
I watched Schindler's List too....finally.It was so moving....and the ice-cream me and Sam popped out to get half-way made me feel sick too....what an assault on the senses I have to admit!
Anyhow,it's way past my bed time and I should really be thinking about hitting the sack so there.

Apart from battling jet lag,my other foe, mr flu seems to be a-knocking at my door...i've been popping vitamin c and panadol like there's no tomorrow in an attempt to get thru but it's looking semi-futile...i am just so tired....plus,i've been working relatively hard too...all this post-easter madness is really getting to me,i need another holiday!!!well,on the bright side,i cannae wait to get back to singahpoh...in less than two months,i'll be tanning my l'il pale,pasty ass in the hot singaporean sun....mon!
it just struck me that i'm almost at the end of my third yr in university and that this time next yr,i am goin to be pissing my pants,thinking about the phooture...oh my goodness.....how terrifying.

It's been ages,my dears.Sorry.I was busy living it large in NYC,possibly the most amazing city in the entire world...I can't stop raving about it,it was bloody brilliant.Anyhow,my jet-lagged and essay-knackered mind hasn't the mental capacity to type much more so I shall end here.But wait for more nonsense from yours truly,post-recovery.In the mean time,stay warm cos spring is well and truly here.Brrrrr!
