Ready to make nice

Have been trying to get back on the road toward academic excellence (ok, that's pushing it quite a bit heh =p) as of late, and positive results have been rather limited in their appearance, and very gradual too. Yes this weekend was perhaps the most productive weekend i've had since coming back, but that being said i still ended up being toot enough to totally screw up preparations for a midterm on mon such that i'm pretty certain it'll be my worst-scoring history test ever. And where other classes are concerned, i've still heaps of readings to do, a massive number of forum postings to read and contribute towards, and seemingly endless prep for term papers and what not that i've barely even noticed up till this point. Yeah the outlook at this point studies wise is still far from good, but thankfully i'm fully aware of the situation now and so we'll see how that goes by God's grace...

So anyways this by and large meant that the past two days have not been very good for me - was feeling super tired throughout, enough to make me not realise i was eating my dandan mian with the wrong end of the pair of wooden chopsticks. Have also seriously come close to falling asleep during class, and as a result never have i missed the arts canteen (and its 40 cents kopi-o, of which merely taking a deep whiff of it was enough to wake me up) so much... The attractiveness of a room on campus has never been greater i tell you - just imagine two extra hours to play with every weekday...

Ironically though, i felt most energetic just now when after ft we went and played capture the flag - had really great fun, and it reminded me of when i played it back at UNC. Too bad in the darkness as i was running away from Evan cos i had been caught snooping round her zone, i ended up running into the nylon ropes and wooden sticks that they use to put up some kind of barrier for some small trees, breaking a stick in the process, not to mention cutting and scraping myself pretty badly on my right inner elbow joint. Nothing serious though, and i'd definitely want to play again sometime...

I know that you know what we know...

And yay for the Dixie Chicks =) After all that boycott nonsense, this sure is a way to go...

for what it's worth, happy Valentines...
