Yafoooo~ Finally it's recess week, 2nd day of the highly-anticipated recess week more like.

I think I'd much prefer the excitement/suspense/high during the wait building up to the recess week loads more than the recess week itself. Do you guys feel like this way sometimes? Like when you're waiting for something to happen, you feel all hyped up and stuff, then when it finally arrived, it all falls flat. Bland?

Haha yeah I think I'd much prefer the waiting game altogether.

Bazooker me! I've got an assignment due on the Monday/Tuesday after the recess week (6 more days!), and I've no idea how to even start with it, cus' the question's kinda broad, with no prompters whatsoever and I haven't even got the bloody book to do my research with. Haha the crazy thing is this Norton Anthlogy of English Literature Vol. 2 can only be found in the Popular bookstore in campus, I hope I won't be needing it! But it looks like I'm gonna have to buy it sometime soon for exams anyway, so why in the world am I still procrastinating? I DON'T KNOW EITHER! Someone please give me a good, hard kick and tell me it's time to wake up and smell the roses.

I think reason #1 is the price of that Mommasaurus of a book, it's thicker than a dictionary, pages 3 times thinner than a normal book, and it costs $67.50. I remember I only read like 30 pages out of the 1st volume (3000+ pages). That pretty much explains why I'm so giam siap when it comes to buying that book. Okay, maybe I'll find some comfort with the fact that I can sell those 2 Mommasauruses off after I'm all done with them, maybe to the Indian uncle in Bras Besar or Campus 2nd-hand book sales? Hmmm...worth a thought.

Hence my present modus operandi will be to:

  1. Go down to NTU to get that ******* book so I can get started with my assignment (I don't really know if I will even if I've gotten it, really)
  2. If I'm still not willing to buy, I shall hunt for it in libraries, if it's found in other libraries then maybe I shall make a reservation for it
  3. If option 2 fails, go to option 1
Yup. That'll be pretty much it. Besides that assignment, I'll have to survive another assignment due on 12th March (at a slightly more manageable level), and another one (Victorian Literature, think I'll be doing on Great Expectations) due on ummm...end of March I think.

Shucks. I have to also prepare for a recorded presentation due on the 9th or 10th week? Yikes. Thank God I'll have to speak for only like 5~7 minutes?

After surviving all these, I'll have to sacrifice billions of brain cells on my exam preparations since exams take centrestage come April. And then, it'll be THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MAY 3 MTHS LONG HOLIDAYS!!! Haha yeah! And I'll be working and making more Yusof Ishaks!

Haha I think I sound kinda cranky after scanning through all the shiat I've typed out so far. There's a pending date tomorrow with Veron, haha she wanna go check out that buffet again at Suntec (crabs!!! and a whole lotsa other stuff), $30++ I think but I don't know if I wanna go cus' I'll be blowing $30+++ on one day. Thursday, gonna meet Bobo for badminton (sweat it out!) then go for a sing-your-hearts-out session at KBox, dunno if there's the buffet included. Hmmm oh well, we'll see. Hence, wish me Irish luck for my assignments people! I hope I can come out of them all sane and unchanged!

=D In the meantime, just enjoy the moment fellas~ If you guys are in serious shiat like I am, then hurry and get it over and done with! Haha see lar, that's the price to pay for being a slacker. ('c',)
