woke up at 0815, brushed my teeth at 0823, sat in front of the pc till 0929, clicked all the relevant slots on the dot of 0930, fingers trembling in the process; i only wake up at 8am on public holidays for really important matters, like weddings and the occasional soccer, so you can guess this one held some real significance. i do not make unnecessary sacrifices, or so i think.
i think i missed it by mircoseconds. no need for exclamations and stuff because this was what i had expected. but then again, expecting something to happen, and for it to actually become a reality.. man that sucks.
i might not want it this term. but there's always a added plus point having the power to choose when everything's already safely in the bag. this pyschology module should be taken next term i feel, when i'm well-adjusted and everything, yet i might have completed everything with a little hard work. maybe reading the texts first would give me a better idea.
the lit lectures so far number two, and they totally contrasted in nature. HL101 almost bored me to death. the professor just went on and on and on about subject requirements and student expectations, which could be written down in lecture notes and given to us. the hoca, or teacher for HL104 was great though. he engaged us throughout the lesson, gave a very intense overview of what we were going to do for the rest of this sem. no wonder they said HL104 was a killer (they meaning my seniors); i can't see myself enjoying reading in different variations of the english language. but i will try.
so much for getting books from my seniors. i have to buy all the expensive ones since we're going to use them ANYWAY. there's this thick book that costs all of seventy bucks, and i threw it back on the shelf. now i have to go hunt for that damn book again.
i must be cracking up, because i let my guard down last night. one should never, ever show his vulnerable side; there will be repercussions in the future. letting slip was not a good move, i even wrote a poem on the spot. talk about total embarrassment. but anyway, it's national day.
