I was feeling under the weather last last night and slept for twelve hours, missing a late-night Krispy Kremes party. GAH. I didn’t hear anything even though it was only in the next room. I was knocked out. Before that, English friend and I went to Ivy Noodles to have uh noodles. Apparently, the owners are from Singapore. I didn’t ask though, since I was rushing for a useless meeting with the Singapore bunch. Well okay I got free hot chocolate, so it wasn’t completely useless. I’m being mean. It was an alright meeting(:(:
Yesterday was spent (frantically) revising for my American Presidency final exam. Weather was not conducive for intensive revision. It was bloody hot and humid and I was still not feeling very well, and nowhere air-conditioned was opened because it was Independence Day, and I didn’t feel like going to the air-conditioned dining hall, because I didn’t feel like talking to anyone, and so I was shtuck in my room, but my roommate has a (powerful) fan and she was out in the lab for the afternoon, and I studied then quite peacefully till I left for East Melange with Hui, where I had a satisfiying hugeass bowl of seafood noodles soup. Bottomline: it was not a very productive work day.
The good thing about a summer session is that it is rather intense, and so knowledge is better retained than it would be during a regular semester, I believe. It helps too that we have good in-depth discussions in classes here. Makes it easier to remember what we’ve learnt. The exam this afternoon went well (I think) (and I like writing in parentheses), so that’s nice.
I had a traumatising episode with a squirrel today. It stared at me, I imagined it expanding and baring its teeth and pouncing on me. Highly unpleasant. I don’t see how squirrels are cute.
I don’t have any more classes to attend\: Once I hand in my final essay for my Revolution class, I’ll be bidding the Yale Summer Session a very fond farewell.
I bought red leather flats! Very pretty.
*hug* get well soon!!! =)
I think I am coming down with something too. Hell, I don’t mind if it means a day off work. I’ve been working 7-day weeks since June.
This post reminded me of the Sex and the City episode where Carrie was trying to explain to Aidan why she hated squirrels – “It’s just a rat with a cuter outfit!” Never a truer statement was said about squirrels since then…
eh i think squirrels are cute leh! i know why ppl think they are- because of cartoons! cartoons always portray squirrels in a very cute way! anyway i think chipmunks are cuter.
and i can’t believe you’re coming back so soon! i remember when you were leaving for Yale i thought.. “she’s going for so long!”
haha.
