Life...and other afflictions

The rantings and uninteresting events of my life

Am having a minor case of diarrhoea right now...but I think the worst is over. Yes, too much information, but I really feel awful...serves me right for eating so much. I think it might've been the "tea ring" I baked...but I'm not sure exactly which ingredient(s) caused this bout of toilet trips. I've spent the whole last hour running to the toilet and back...I can't concentrate on my revision.

Oh darn, that piercing stomachache is back. I hope I can sleep tonight...in any case, I'd better not give any of the tea ring to my neighbours...don't want them ending up in the same state as me!

Anyway, this week was pretty slack...got back my results for Swedish and Czech. Got 1,7 and 1,3...the first should've been better, considering how easy it was...and the second, well, let's just say that the teacher is super super lenient...but all in all, I'm satisfied! I'm so glad I've never failed any class in uni. I would really really hate to repeat anything. It's so problematic!

We had our exam briefing for DaF today...seems like there's a lot to study. Oh blah...but I don't wanna fail, so no choice but to throw myself into revision once my Anglistik exam is over. I don't know if I'll have enough time to finish my revision for Anglistik, but the exam is in 9 days...or is it 10? Not so good at counting...but I know it means I don't have much time left. Sigh. Have been slacking this week away!

Had dinner with my neighbours on Tuesday. There was a lot of great tasting food! I think Fu Wei's friends were right. It is kinda "dangerous" to live in our unit...especially for someone like me, someone who can't really say no. But man, I wish I could cook like them! I think I can't really cook. Everything just doesn't taste as good as when other people cook it. Beside the nice main dishes, we also ate pomelo and banana chips.

One presentation on Wednesday during our Lit seminar really impressed me. It was so concise and clear...I didn't even have to try hard to pay attention....unlike when people simply read off their "scripts". Well, it helped that the guy had really nice eyes, but to be completely honest, I think it's the best presentation I've heard this sem. I like systematic presentations, where you can understand the logic in the structure. I was so impressed, that I ordered the book online once I got home...and I was so lucky! The book cost only 1 cent! I mean ok, postage cost 3 Euro, but it's still so cheap and it was in pretty ok condition too! I can't wait to start reading it, but I'm afraid that I'll get too engrossed and forget about studying.

Ok, wanna sleep now...

I just don't know what to do with myself!

When I don't have work to do, I have no idea what to do. I feel restless and end up doing NOTHING...what a freaking waste of time. I have to find more productive activities man...

I wish I could concentrate on my work the whole time, but I can't...I need breaks...and it's during these breaks that I have no idea what to do with myself. I end up surfing aimlessly...or watching CRAP tv. I should wean myself off tv, but I can't live with the silence. It freaks me out.

I think I have drunk at least 4 litres of water today...I feel a bit woozy now.

I wish I could sleep well! Have been having problems since the beginning of this week.

Anyway, Phuong, Mai and I went out for dinner yesterday. It was their treat! SO nice!! I got a pretty bracelet from Phuong and a magnetic photo frame from Mai. We went to McCafe after dinner to have coffee and dessert after that...I had t Galerie was there for us to hide in for a couple of minutes until the Straßenbahn came! *brr* but it should be getting slightly warmer this week.

Ok, will try to do something else now...
