hey...
ok i'm the only idiot still in school so i can't find anyone to rant to... sorry that you guys have to suffer this but....
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
haha ok so what's up, you ask. (or maybe not) this week, like most of the other weeks i'm gonna see, saw the submission of two essays for me, one of which i chose to write on the cold war (which sucked by the way. i was indecisive and couldn't come up with a strong thesis statement to carry me through at all. and bloody hell i wasted so much time actually reading 4 books (which is kinda a big deal cos i actually read read and not just glance through) to write crap. haha i was even embarrassed to hand in my essay) and the other i chose to write on china. anyway, for the china essay, it was for a course in which i have never submitted my work on time before since there is always an essay preceding it that i waste my time on and so this time i made a resolution that i must hand it in on the day it's due. (actually it's due at 4pm but since i've never handed in on the day itself even, my definition of on time is the day itself) so for the past 2 days (haha cos i read so much for the other essay that i only had 2 days left for this) i've been waking up at unearthly hours of the day (actually not really. just the time i used to wake up when i was still a good student at rgs who is afraid to get a booking for lateness) so as to complete the readings and finish this essay (i am quite proud of the completing the readings part... since i read 213 pages, understanding nearly everything that's going on, in 1 day) and i actually managed to finish it by 4pm today! ok, then stupid footnoting took me one hour (i'm one of those people who is stupid enough not to cite as i write cos it breaks my stream of thought) but not bad still, cos i was done by 4.50pm, which left me some time to go to school to submit my essay. well, i thought i would take a bus so that i would be faster and so that i would not be TOO late for my class which at 5pm. and the roads didn't look jammed so i took the bus in good faith. ok actually by the time i printed the essay out and everything it was 5.10pm (man this stupid school computer is lagging. like my nokia 3310 phone last time when i sms). still since i take 25 min to walk to school, if i take the bus on a non-crowded road it should be say 15 min right? ok i waited 5 min for the bus. ok the roads were not jammed but i think the bus stopped for 3 min at every stop or somethign cos of the sheer volume of people hopping on and getting out (haha evidently i have not taken the bus during rush hour before). when i got to school, i happily went to the departmental office where i was supposed to submit my essay and guess what?
THE OFFICE HAS CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
argh for two reasons. 1. i didn't (or rather forgot) to bring my phone out and thus had no idea what the time was. 2. i thought the office closed at 6pm and not 5pm! man i'm 95% certain that the office closed at 6pm before the christmas break!!
why did i go through the pain (and miss my ir class and now have to write another email to apologise for my absence) for?????????????
sorry this is so incoherent and self-centred. but now that i have written it down, it sounds very silly indeed and very my-fault. and am a much calmer and relaxed situation now. zen has come over me. :D
haha sorry this sounds so weird and everything, you are talking (or rather reading/listening) to a person who has just spent the previous 5 hours finishing a (more than) 2000-word essay. ladida!!
anyway, iris you're flying off on the 15th right? zengo's birthday... :(
