Friday, July 28, 2006 > T.G.I.F.
Yes, yes... I am thanking God that it is finally Friday. Thanking Him real hard:) This can't be a good sign. It is only the end of my FIRST week back at Uni and I already can't wait for the weekend. Haih... An interesting semester this will be... I think I may have said that before..
Today was just one of those days which I woke up with no thoughts at all in my head, no motivation. Just wanted to sit and do nothing. Obviously, the thought of Uni wasn't well received when it penetrated my mind after that blissful 5 seconds of nothing-ness at the moment of wake. These kind of beginnings to a day usually do not dictate a great and cheerful day.
Hence,
- I complained and grumbled about having to go to Uni. Considered calling in sick... (The only thing that stopped me was the similar excuse I gave to my work place recently. Conscience still intact)
- I got so immensely angry when I saw the bus leave for Uni just as I got to the bus stop. Blamed the bus driver, the traffic, the old lady that took forever to board the bus.... Basically everyone but myself.
- I was so sick of all the travel and time spent in the bus in order to get to Uni. I pass almost 100 bus stops on my journey to and fro!!!!! Yes, I really do actually keep a rough count.
- The sight of Uni was repugnant when I finally got there.
- I lost all dignity when I walked into class late... AGAIN, I might add. Late to 4 out of 5 classes now...
- Just slumped around in Uni awaiting the time to go home......
Until I realised... I am the only reason why I am miserable. And I... have no reason for feeling so. All have heard of the saying, "It's all about the mind." And so it is. It started off as a bad day, just simply because I woke up with the "aarrrggh" mindset. So hence, decided to change some of my thoughts:
- I am here in Uni 5000 miles away from home, graduating in a year and a half. After that I will just be an old fart working from 9-5 everyday. Enjoy it while it lasts!
- Late-ness.. The story of my life. Time to manage my time better. (Zie, I know, is nodding hard at this...) The bus driver, the traffic and the old lady that had trouble boarding the bus helped me realise that.
- The time spend travelling to and fro from Uni is a great time to do some catching up on the sleep that I often lack.. Ingenious, I know...
- Uni: The source of knowledge and my degree. It is not repulsive....
- True, I was late to 4 out of 5 classes, but I do have about another 60 classes to go this semester. So being late to 4 out of 60 classes doesn't sound so bad eh???
On a side note:
DASHING DARREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you! Heard that you were amazing. So proud of you!!! I really wish that I could have been there... But am so so happy for you!:) It's over! Weeeeeeeee!!!!!
A very Happy Birthday to one of my tallest girl friends Miss Tsu Vee and one of my shortest guy friends, Ivan Lean!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahaha... How ironic. Love you guys:)
