thanksgiving.


I have to say... even for me, someone who likes to eat, this might be a bit much. But nevertheless, I am excited to be at 3 consecutive days worth of thanksgiving dinners. heh. Plus I shall be making food! well, contributing to the already large amount of food. whatev.

I've been in a very happy mood of late, which might have something to do with the lack of work/crazy work-related stuff... or just cause I'm ignoring terribly important things! The only thing making me sad is that the semester has flown by so quickly, and at this time next month I shall be done with exams. and cleaning the house in preparation for the parents who are scheduled to descend upon a wintry Providence. Soon it shall all be over.

But in the meantime, give thanks! There is much to be thankful for. cheers!

rumbles and tumbles. bumbles.

I'm blogging. Obviously that means I am absolutely neck high in work that I [don't want to/am scared of/am too hungry to] actually do. It's not even that hard, just been trying to work unsuccessfully on it for the past 3 days and not getting anywhere is kind of getting to me. But I have found a new philosophy! It'll get done in any case, so all the stressing out, totally temporal, so keep the stressing to a bare minimum. (ie. cramming in the wee hours of the morning only to fall asleep and study for all of 2 hours, or other such stories that any good Singaporean would be aghast to hear)

In other news, I'm totally living no frills from paper to next exam to next problem set, all the while thinking that... there's obviously more to life than this. Which I have to say, is an awesome comfort when all that senior-itis/life-itis kicks in. In fact, I revise my previous statement, knowing that there's more to life than this life is sweeet. It only sucks when roommates and friends wail and cry about the immediacy of work and failure, cos it's not nice to be sad all the time.

So I guess it's back to work. and waiting for lunch to be delivered to me. and enjoying the view of the really really pretty outdoors (enjoying the day from inside doesn't seem to be good enough, but sometimes there just no choice, and it's better than not enjoying it at all).. I guess it's going to be a pretty good day after all! now about that work......
