Random thoughts, all buzzing and flying around, haven't had time to collect them properly much less compose a coherent blog entry, so here goes:
Spending too much money. TOOOO MUCH. On books alone I've spent more than 100 pounds, which is more than twice the amount I spent last term! Yes and I got them all 2nd hand on amazon marketplace. Tutors this term are doing really weird books that are out of print. But I suppose they should be good. Why out of print tho?
Bought a set of essential oils. Now my room smells like insect repellant because I just put eucalyptus lemon on the burner. It's supposed to work for sinusitis but it's not working.
Did an online research and realised that the condition I've been having all these years may not be sinusitis. There're so many terminologies with similar symptoms! But mine's chronic and it lasts throughout the day and regardless of place... most of the time I can't breathe through my nose and when I can it's about 35% anyways. Should I go for another op? God heal me...
Cold. Cold cold cold outside and I just can't predict the weather well enough to estimate the number of layers I have to put on. Stuffed nose and cold fingers.
South Africans are very good-looking.
Seminar group is very vocal. Having a lot of fun tho it means my seminar performance grade may be lower this term. But it doesn't matter really... I'm getting more (fun) out of my seminar than before.
Realise that I have absolutely no originality in my essays. Just handed my Romantics essays in this Monday, and before handing them up I read them through and... they're just literary observations and conclusions on the poem. Hardly any analysis. Oh wells. I felt disappointed with myself initially - but I started to think that it's so much grace I can even study in uni. Given the amount of anaesthesia I've been pumped with all my life it's such a miracle I can even study, much less excel. Oh well :) God's grace God's grace.
GRACE. What is grace? This keeps coming up... it's been recurring for the past few weeks, even before I left Singapore. Thanks to karen and linda for getting my that lucado book. IN THE GRIP OF GRACE. (Wei how're you getting along with it?) And SUnday's sermon was on it. So what is grace? I'm understanding more and more of it as God reveals more.. thank you Papa.
Blessed are those who mourn and hunger.
To the Lighthouse was an amazingly simple and fantastic book. It's so great because it's so simple. It portrays human behaviour in its purest - everyday moments, thoughts, simple jealous thoughts, etc. Go, V. Woolf!
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Was reading To the Lighthouse and there was a part where Mr and Mrs Ramsay understood each other so well they didn't have to say anything to each other, but each knew perfectly well what the other was thinking! And another scene when both of them were at the head and tail of the long dinner table. They just had to use their eyes to communicate - wow! Made me think of whom I can actually communicate with like that... or close to this extent anyway. My younger bro would be first on the list I guess. We have telepathy. And we say (even sing) the same things at the same moment a lot of the time. Sometimes I look at him and he knows what I'm saying. Haha. Next would be Tim I guess. Sometimes when we talk we don't even have to say too much, we understand the little phrases, every waver of the voice, quiver of the lip, nuances. Perhaps it has to do with hanging with the person a lot. But I hang out with my mom a lot and we talk on very different frequencies. She's admitted the exasperation with which she has to talk to me sometimes... haha. Natural frequency? Didn't know human beings have them too.
I'm fat. My tummy's at an all-high fattitude. It's because my body has been atrophying due to a very very rigorous non-exercise regime for the past 1.5 months. It's time to start. Well I did, kinda. Jogged for a while a few days ago and it felt good. Sports. Will play badminton weekly. Hope Pepper can play tennis weekly with me too.
Tennis club. Should I join it?
Skydiving.. Snowboarding/skiing.. I like uni life. :) No pressure, no CCA points.
Wanted to join Ultimate Frisbee and Netball but I realise it's quite a competitive sport, in the sense that they join competitions and stuff. Nah really not up to it already.
Fat. Sports. Sleep.
I'm sleepy.
Good night. :)
