tired… listless… lazy

i haven’t been concentrating as much as i should today. the child language project meeting was ok; managed to get good progress even though i didn’t contribute much. usually i can’t contribute much too, because i’m the only person who hasn’t taken any other level 3000 modules. ok lah, other than the other level 3000 modules i’m taking this semester. but still, i couldn’t keep up with what they are saying at all. i only can try to give constructive suggestions from what i already know, which isn’t much. so i offered to help do the transcription since someone said i’m better at discerning intonation. we’re gonna do another recording this saturday evening. whew.

i think i wasted my time at lectures today. i could’ve done my presentation slides if i brought my papers! argh. and i could’ve read a lot more during the marketing lecture where i wasn’t paying any attention. was attempting to check out google earth with my friend, but the network was so lousy it kept crashing. was just falling asleep at the other lecture cos i was so tired. and i didn’t understand half of what the lecturer was saying! ok, fair enough, i already know most of it, just that it’s all very messed up.

got back my test and the big assignment for morphology and syntax. 7/10 for assignment and 8/10 for test. i’m happy for my results!

hopefully that won’t be the only highlight of my day. by the way, i’m stuck at lido mcdonald’s cos mac’s the only place with free wireless internet and lido’s near my student’s place. besides, i have nothing better to do. schools owe me $1020 now. i’m kinda starving because of that. but i’m going to be a very happy man when they pay me. money for bills, money for survival, money for a new laptop bag (finally). but i better don’t plan how i’m going to spend my money. doesn’t work too well for me.

i need to earn more in march. in april, i’m likely to lose one of the schools. that’s more than half my income gone! maybe i’ll take another school. if i can still cope.

    Hamlet says “in the face of adversity, thou must always stand brave.”… or was it King Lear? Othello?
    Anyway, heroes fall, what more mere men? You are definitely an Edgar in every play and yours will not be a tragedy. The plot just has to be more interesting before a hero like you succeeds.
    Hang in there.
