Mood: numb
Fact of the day: The French students do not have to pay for their university tuition fees.
Comments: A lot of people are getting married today. Re: the date today

Just like any other depressions, I have gotten out of this one very quickly again. Although I think I still need to remember not to trust anyone yet.

I actually have a French quiz tomorrow. Mostly listening comprehension, which is freaking me out.

  • Writing: I'm still fine -- I can memorise the spellings quite well.
  • Speaking: I'm just okay -- I just need to practise.
  • Listening: I'm dead.
Argh. Argh. Argh.

[By the way, this is also why I'm writing this journal entry now when I have completely no inspiration. I just need a break from freaking out.]

I'm doing my school work on time, I meet the Singaporeans everyday, I study at night, I do not antagonise my roommate, my roommate does not antagonise me, there're no earthquakes in Illinois. Generally, nothing exciting is happening here. I'd rather not actually. I've got a weak heart.

By the way, just to illustrate how much tension can exist in a small group of Singaporeans:
Over here, we have the SSA (Singaporean Student Association) which basically takes care of Singaporean students here -- duh~ And we have this newsgroup thing, which allows people to post messages on the email. And there was this SAF scholar called David, who made this comment that pissed off one of our seniors, who replied a very harsh reply. Basically then one of the other SAF scholars got pissed too and replied a long rebuttal to what that senior said. Really serious stuff. Then, I stupidly made the big mistake of posting a message too, trying to pacify everybody. Only after I posted the message did I realise that the best thing I should have done was to just shaddup and let someone else tell all of them to shaddup. Now I feel like an idiot, saying things that are not beneficial to the situation at all. Can somebody please just remind me to stay out of trouble? Sigh.

I can only say, nothing really bad is happening to me, but nothing good is happening either. I hope I can feel a little more positive by tomorrow.

Going to study my french now.
