SPRING SEMESTER - DAY 1

Day 1 of Spring Semester and I have to say that snow is definitely not synonymous with first day of classes. Neither is it even remotely related.

Today basically involved a lot of walking and back to back classes, and so would it remain until the end of the semester. I had to walk from Gerdin to Pearson twice in an hour, in the snow and nothing frustrates me more than having the snow blow in my face and envying those long legged people walking really fast past by me.

After that began my back to back classes, which later ended at 3pm. I have to say I was pretty much relieved knowing that classes were over for the day except Carien decided that I should walk around more before heading home. Hahahaha...and so we did. By the time I got home I was so hungry and the first thing I did after changing was to cook myself Maggie. I just love how those things taste after a long day and coming home hungry.

Took a nap about an hour later (so going to get fat from that) and barely remembered nor know what I texted Ruey since I was sleeping. Woke up and prepared dinner for me and my housemates as a Welcome Back dinner. Talked to Dhaya on the phone, did the laundry and here I am supposedly studying but blogging instead. So what's new about that?

WHININGS

In the tradition of the typical student I whine to the fact that the semester begins tomorrow. With back to back classes, meeting with my advisor, and thick snow on the ground I want nothing more than to snuggle under my covers and sleep in. I'm still wondering where did the 3 weeks of break go.

Anyway, I'll soon be posting pictures from winter break. Don't think I'll be posting it up on Facebook. I'm glad I did have fun during the break and some quiet time for myself. If only it didn't end that soon. I'm guessing that another week and that holiday list, which was planned about 2 weeks before break would really have been checked and done to every last detail.

THE CLOSING OF WINTER BREAK

I really can't believe how it's already down to the last few days of the winter break. I feel like I've barely achieved anything on my holiday list. Most disappointing is that I never even managed to finish even ONE book. I did however spend a bomb on shopping, although I have to say that I don't think I regret spending it. Consider it retail therapy and money well spent.

One week into the new year. I think I'm doing pretty okay if not fine. I've packed almost all of last year's things and had them stored out of sight and for those I haven't, I'm really slowly getting there. Maybe a few more weeks and everything would be kept away.

Basically now, quoting an overused expression, I'm bored almost out of my pants. It's the first night among many nights that I've stayed home the whole evening. It's nice and pretty much like the old times. Not the old time I-just-have-to-do-something/a-date-to-keep-online, but more like I'm free to do what I want and not have my mind having a hundred things running through it at almost light speed. Plus for once it actually seems like my own time.

It's been a short 3 weeks. Part of me wants it to end, but a part of me wants another round of this break. I'm always indecisive when it comes to these things :) but maybe what I need is a whole new different break, which is why I can't wait for summer to come.

I'm finally able to sleep again. What a relief! I hope that this last week of break would really be the time when I can finally catch up with my sleep. I kept saying it during exam week and the beginning of break but never really managed to. Turning into one hell of a crazy insomniac. Bring out those sleep-ease pills. I need to stop walking around looking like a panda.

*fingers crossed* I hope I didn't say it too soon. It has been only a day anyway since I managed to sleep.


p/s: I burned the past yesterday. It was a childish thing to do...but it was a relief and it felt good. Thanks for being there to help me do it :) and you know who you are.
