OH, the JOY

I’M FREEEEE.

no more supervisions until next wk!

weee!

and before you say anything abt land economist being slack (i know thoughts are formulating in your head now), i’ve already suffered my insane, mad, hectic week of 4 supervisions in a one week, and then my other one on monday (which is today) meaning i literally had 5 in a row.

its no wonder i’ve been so bitchy-whiny-grumpy-insane the past week.

but now i’m HAPPY.

and FREE.

and HAPPY.

did i mention HAPPY?

went shopping just now, and gt myself the most amazing high school musical 3 poster!

so exciting!

wanted to get the mug as well, but thought that might have been pushing it.

anyways, i shall be off to spend my ‘free time’ well.

starting to look at job apps, and my my they look like so much fun.

yes, i haven’t forgotten. this week is ‘Grace-find-a-job’ week.

also need to start preparing next weeks supervisions, less i die next week.

some more my doctor sister (cos this is how ppl know her as) is coming to visit, so i’ll probly be bumming my whole weekend away, leeching of the pounds she is now earning XD

ok, enough bumming arnd today, tmr its down to serious business.

i mean it.

*serious business face*

on a completely random note.

its getting really cold.

i want a new jacket.

when is zara going to go on sale??

wish upon a wishing star

oh how i wish i could be 15 again.

sure, its great being old and mature, and ‘oh-so-much-wiser’.

but i just want to be that child with no care in the world. besides whether you’d get 6as or 7as in your pmr.

and it doesn’t help that my essay on the right to buy is getting nowhere, and my bandwidth keeps maxing out on me thanks to the stupid datas i’m trying to download so i can sound impressive in my supervision.

and the fountain outside the computer room is mocking me.

yes. 

the fountain.

it has nth to care abt, besides sprouting out water and looking pretty.

ah well.

my emo-ness-less latest but 12 hours.

i think its time for me to do some spiritual feeding.

i’ve really taken the liking to this prayer, the serenity prayer. for some reason or another =)

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

courage to change the things I can,

and wisdom to know the difference”

yes, i need serenity from God.

 

what a catastrophe

CLICK THIS

and you’ll see what i mean by catastrophe.

…

ok, i can’t keep it in any longer.

MU IS BELOW HULL, LIKE OMG?!

seriously.

how on earth can hull be 3rd in the premier league?

this shows how out of touch i have been with the world, i haven’t evn been following the epl.

how appalling right?

and EWW. chelsea is top.

EWW.

oh, hi KEVIN LAU.

is this less depressing? XD

anyways, my mad week has come to an end.

and i want to go watch hsm 3.

so EXCITED!

=)

and i need my internet to work. NEED TO STREAM GOSSIP GIRL.

I”M SO LEFT BEHIND.

oh, what a catastrophe.

so it pours

you know you’ve lost it when you find staring at raindrops trickling down your window therapeutic.

except the rain is so heavy, its nt even drops anymore. more like splats.

how i wish i could just hide under my duvet, and sleep until i feel like waking up =(

a moment of silence

let’s all have a moment of silence as the weekend comes to an end.

boo.

so sad.

its back to lectures.

i’ve spent the ‘whole’ of today reading abt regional unemployment disparities. (from the OXFORD handbook of economic geography some more!)

basically what i’ve learnt today is… i must get a job so i won’t be unemployed.

yes. simple enough.

i have dedicated next week as ‘Grace’s job hunting week/Grace’s attempts at looking for a career’ cos i’ve only got satu supervision next week.

yes, meaning i have 4 this week.

well, work for 1 and a half done.

that’s good right?

=(

no….

so much more work =(

i think i had too much fun over the weekends.

what a glorious day

today was my ‘no lecture’ day. how awesome.

unfortunately it had to start with some idiot setting off the fire alarm at 4 am. idiots. people who set fire alarms off for no apparent reason should be set on fire.

and no, i do not have violent tendencies or rage issues.

but anyhows, no lecture day is always fun. today i decided to be good and head down to town to buy books.

how intellectual right?

buying books and all. i can hardly contain my excitement.

i spent 100 pounds or so buying the things that bring me the most pain in the whole world.

wait, actually supervision work brings me the most pain see how its the work that makes me need to read the books right?

ok, i don’t know whats wrong with me today, i think i have somewhat lost my mind.

(yes, i did have one to begin with, contrary to popular belief)

OH!

and a bought a really pretty planner, so now i’m going to be superly organized.

its pink and has flowers =)

i was tempted to get the hsm planner, but i thought it might have been a tad riduculous for a 20 yr old to be carrying arnd a planner filled with supervision dates and DEADlines (haha. geddit? geddit?) that has zac efron on it.

but yeah. i realised that my supervisions are really skewed. one week i have 4 and the other 1. so basically on the 4 weeks (which is next week) i’ll be a half dead woman.

sigh. i guess as much work as i have to do, i’m actually really enjoying my subject choices this year. so far at least. which is a good sign. AND i finally decided what subjects i’m going to do. like confirmed confirmed and i’m nt going to change my mind anymore and if i do, jing ting can have….all my bak gua XD

anyways, going off now, gbk has 2 for 1 burgers! how awesome is that??

ps : my blog is going to be pictureless for a bit cos i forgot to bring back my camera cable. smart.

frustrations

sigh.

super the sien now.

i dread the mere thought of supervisions and they haven’t evn started.

well, at the rate i’m going, i won’t be able to attend any cos my awesome department doesn’t even know how to assign ppl supervisions. all my sups clash with either other sups or lectures.

gosh.

so annoying.

things are looking mighty screwed up.

just so sien today, and the fact that i’m still sick (well sort of) and i have to prepare for supervisions that I CANNOT POSSIBLY ATTEND bugs me.

why can’t we be more organized?

and i have a sup on thursday, and no work has been given yet. and we are supposed to hand in work 48 hrs before. which means tmr. but i don’t even have the work yet.

grr.

i hate this.

i hate supervisions.

i hate work.

i hate reading.

i hate writing essays.

i hate intellectual conversations.

i hate responsibilities.

i hate sorting out my schedule.

i hate decisions.

i hate hating.

ok. emo overload.

and today there is no bright side abt anything.

no, nt evn the fact that i gt a lovely pair of shoes for super cheap in lincoln.

(speaking of which, my shoe count is getting a bit scary. just a bit)

sigh.

i hate being so emo.

i need a pick me up.

day one

day one.

8.00 am – woke up to get ready, in attempts to be early for my very first lecture as a part Ib student

8.20 am – realises that my plan to wake up at 8 failed, when i was still lying in bed at 8.20

8.30 am – grabs smth that resembles food and rushes out the door.

8.35 am – gets bike.

8.40 am – discover that bike is broken. or at least screwed up. starts to scream (in my head of course, don’t want to seem like a lunatic!) and freak out. no way i’ll get to dept in 20 mins.

8.55 am – pleasedon’tletmebelatepleasedon’tletmebelate

9.05 am – reaches dept, can’t find the room i’m supposed to be in.

9.06 am – finds room. no more chairs in room. nearly contemplated sitting on the floor, until i saw yanhong and peng yang, and then shares their chairs.

ah. yes. eventful morning. my last few days here have been like murphy’s law. anything that can go wrong. does.

i’m sick (this is probly payback for me nt ‘believing’ in the existance of fresher’s flu) my stomach keeps churning, i was late for my first lecture, i’ve gt this massive blister on my foot thanks to my stupid flats, i can’t find my cutlery box, internet port in my room is nt working, and i still can’t finalize my options for this yr!

oh, and my room is still in a mess.

it doesn’t really look messy cos its big and the mess just spreads itself arnd.

anyways, yes. to more positive things. i got a free ft today. woo. how exciting. i read the first page and then decided that it was time to go to sleep.

although i have to admit i really enjoyed my finance class (at least thus far). its like we are studying real things that are happening, and not random, theoratical economics theories that you never really see in the real world.

but yeah, it could just be first lecture excitement. lets hope its not. i really want to enjoy all my papers this year. as nerdy as that sounds.

ooh, and *drumroll* i found wireless in my room! so exciting right? its from the jcr which is just sort of below me. so now i can wonder arnd my room with my laptop. yay. saves me the trouble of having to get a splitter so i can connect myself upstairs as well.

yes, and now its back to the ft. the great british bail-out beckons.

bluergh. uuergh. glum.

why do ppl think the world revolve arnd them?

if you can’t tell i’m a bit pissy today.

i’m annoyed cos i’ve been food poisoned.

i’m annoyed because my bag seems to have ’shrunk’ and i can only fit so many things in.

i’m annoyed cos i have to spend my last night home in the toilet.

i’m annoyed cos i’ve suddenly developed an allergic reaction to smth no one can determine.

i’m annoyed cos my hair doesn’t want to co-operate.

i’m annoyed cos there are things that i just have to do, but don’t feel like doing at all.

i’m annoyed cos i can’t decide on my papers for 2nd yr. to take ‘law & economics” or to not take “law & economics”? that is the question (this reminds me of eva’s to be or nt to be with her ’smart feather’)

i’m annoyed cos i always feel like ppl are doing things for me, my sake when technically its their ‘duty’.

i’m annoyed because the world doesn’t revolve arnd me.

hah.

….

on that bitter and angry note, i’ve leaving tmr. back to work, and slogging. was actually kinda excited a few moments ago, then i think abt the work i have to go through and all that crap.. my mood just plummeted.

nt looking forward to essay writing and pretending to be intelligent again.

i really have no idea what’s in store, but a little voice in my head tells me its nt going to be pretty.

okay, okay. exaggerato much?

fine. 2nd yr will be fun. i won’t have any problems, and work is going to be so intellectually challenging that i’ll just feel my brain growing bigger as the seconds go by.

oh yes.

how’s that for positivity?
