Tired

I last spoke to my mum on Sunday. It feels kinda weird and detached not being able to talk to her. I hope to catch up with her this weekend. Some of my other friends call home everyday or every other day. Maybe it's because I've done it before so it doesn't feel as bad. My friend just received a parcel from home today. A 25kg box loaded with goodies like Chinese New Year cookies. The shipping cost? RM 500. I think the shipping rate costs more than the value of the items in the box. But then again, it's the thought that counts right?

I just came back from Chem lab. The lab time over here is 4 hours long and the lab class doesn't provide stools for you to sit down. The experiment that I was carrying out is only about half done. Imagine that, 4 hours to complete half an experiment! I'll be continuing the rest next week. The best part is that I don't have to work on the lab report this week...but I'll start with what I have anyways. My last lab report was 7 pages long. Go figure.

The pace over here has been picking up. I've been keeping busy with my work. I usually have an assignment to hand in every week and on some weeks, more than one; 2 lab reports to complete, a quiz or two to study for every week, and the usual reading or homework. Sometimes, when it's the right time, I have a test to study for. I am looking at all the things I have to do and I wonder how I am able to manage it so far. Unlike back in Malaysia, I had plenty of time to "goyang kaki" and watch TV, go shopping or do whatever I usually do. Imagine if I've actually gotten a job! No time whatsoever to do anything. I'm sure God knew what I can handle when I applied for a job at Hubbell dining hall but got no reply.

I'm supposed to go shopping again this weekend, but I do have a list this time and will not be tempted to shop for unneccessary stuff. I also have to remind myself that I have to study for that Politics test this coming Monday. It doesn't help that it's my least favourite class and that I just remembered that I have a party to attend tomorrow night. Oh well, I'll work my butt off tonight and tomorrow afternoon. Yeah....will do that.
