Am quite amused that Liling thinks my annotations for Heart Of Darkness are concise and comprehensible. (Damn, and here I was, thinking I'd been slacking all the while!) Preparation for examinations is going swimmingly, but only for English and Mathematics, which is such a shame because I really want to do well for Economics. I'm a bit indifferent about History, always have been, but I can see myself enjoying the subject once I no longer have to contend with the spectre of two three-hour papers. Have been re-reading Albee, since Li Jun returned it to me yesterday, and I think Albee is brilliant. Okay, so it doesn't top Shakespeare, but the dialogue's snappy, and that matters a lot to someone like me. I identify very much with George, more so with his verbal parrying than his sense of failure, though there is some of that. Am going to be extremely disciplined, so I'm going to read my texts through one at a time, instead of jumping from one book to another. Ditto for Sloman and History topics. Wish me luck!

Typed out my CV for the GIC workshop next week, and Ms Lim said it was fine, except that I left out my contact details. Ruth told me after today's Shakespeare revision that the workshop's apparently some sort of mock interview, so they're going to divide us up into groups and stuff like that. Oh well, at least I know half the people on the list, so it won't be too disconcerting being the only one from my class there. Submitted eight haikus for the SWF SMS haiku competition, so if any of them gets shortlisted I'll tell all of you. This time, there are book vouchers up for grabs, so at least there'll be some form of remuneration. Quite happy today, because English 'S' lecture was on love, with lots of snazzy quotes, and my Albee essay wasn't as crappy as I'd thought. Plus Mr Kwok told Shiqi and me that we don't have to do our tutorial presentation, since it was the test question! Yeah, very happy about that indeed.
