Saturday, September 16, 2006: the woes of studying
why is it that whenever i try to study there is always some greater force attracting me to it? like say, in the BH (abbrv. for boarding house) when i study, there's always the food peering at me from the top desk shelf. or the nice soft blanket which makes me want to go to sleep. and the worst bit, the storybooks that i borrow from the library. i can go on reading for hours into the night! and when i take a glance at the clock, it is already 1 am, and i have to sleep otherwise my name will be announced over the intercom "kristi ng, please come down to reception, you did not eat your breakfast". and that, would be highly embarrassing, because everyone else sleeps at 10 and wakes up at 7 because breakfast is at 7 and breakfast is the best meal which the BH provides. oh, my apologies, with the exception of sag, but the housies have already come to accept the fact that our dear friend sag
cannot wake up when the bell goes at 7 and does not eat her breakfast, unlike me, who's well known because of my gluttony (okay, not THAT well known), and has always been a GOOD GIRL who sets an EXEMPLARY EXAMPLE for the younger years. oh well, my only consolation is that my vocabulary widens from reading. and that's good, right?
and now, even on the weekends.. because we come back so late every friday night from bs, we end up sleeping in the wee hours of the morning, and i, tired from my recent and frequent late nights in the BH, is unable to wake up to the persistent alarms (i set three) that are ringing,
by my ear. i am flabbergasted at my laziness. and when i woke up today at 10 am (because jeannie has a music audition at hale) to have breakfast with jeannie and uncle loi, i felt rather proud. but then the evils of sleepiness attacked me once again once i decided to start on my work, so having slogged hard at applic and calculus, (i finished 1 and a half papers then!) i fell asleep for about 2 hours and woke up at quarter to 2. and since then, i've finished the other half of the calc paper, and started on econs ( i wrote a paragraph) and started blogging.
oh the horror.
katie's party is in 3 hours, but we'll only be getting there at 9.30 because jeannie has her ballet performance at the quarry amphitheatre, and i think i'm supposed to go watch her dance or something. not that i'm not interested, i really do love dance, but i've got more pressing issues at hand, and i have to finish studying by this thursday so i can confidently say that i've put in effort. which, suffice to say, at the moment, i have not.
anyway, i should be heading back to outlining a range of policies suitabe to combat current economic problems in Australia after evaluating the economy's performance. i am so crap at this. i think the only thing i can do is draw the AS/AD diagram. and thats about it. but not to fret kristi! you have faith that God will put words in your mouth (please please please!) to answer this question brilliantly.
alright. away i go. ta'
a shout of praise.
