Thank You Day/Student Day

PW is turning into such a mess, because there isn't enough time to do everything properly and study at the same time! Whoever came up with the whole idea of PW needs to do a project, just to experience the madness first-hand. Ms Lim's finally delivered an ultimatum (sort of). Thursday's the deadline for the essay. So I have to finish Mr Kwok's tutorial paper by Wednesday, and Mr Purvis's comparative essay by Friday. (Thank God for Claudia's tutorial paper!) At least now I've got some interesting ideas for the essay on Rome and Egypt. I think I'll absent myself from tomorrow's Mathematics lecture, risking my first white slip. Will sit outside and study. Not differentiation, because I'm sick of that. Time to study something that I actually want to study! Though I'm still debating with myself if International History and Economics qualify...

Feel like kicking myself. Do I look very "dao"? Vivien: "You're always so "dao"!" Me: "Whatever." It's not like I go out of my way to be anti-social. I'll smile at whomever I damn well want, thank you very much. I'll talk to whomever I damn well want too. Isn't it sad that only one person in RJC gets a smile from me regardless of how I'm feeling? Maybe because he's the kind of person that'll smile at me first. You don't get many of those these days. Don't get me wrong, most of you are good people. It's just so frustrating sometimes, being around some of you nowadays. This isn't about being nice and civil; it goes beyond that. I hope it rains tomorrow. I'll wear my Hang Ten jacket (which I've realised I really like a lot and is very warm), curl up in some corner with Thomas Hardy for company, and mope. (Dear God, will You pick me up one more time and make me happy again? It wouldn't take much. Just make school go away!)
