Mood: not too bad Fact of the day: Except for one archeological site that has an thick unexplanable layer of silt, none of the ancient pre-Israelite sites excavated so far actualy indicate any evidence of there being a flood as described in the Bible. event of the week sleeping in tomorrow morning.
I'm sort of already settled into a routine - go for class in the morning, run errands after that (why are there always errands to be run everyday?!), drop in at the school computer lab, go back for lunch, plan dinner, have dinner while watching a video and then attempt to do the required class readings, before finally falling asleep in shame. Hehe. I was shopping for groceries with Lynn yesterday, as we invited a friend over for dinner and we wanted to impress him. Then it suddenly struck us - we've become so domestic! [Or jokingly, domesticated. HAha..] Omigod...it's not that I don't do any housework while I was in Singapore, but I never had to take the initiative to actually plan what to cook, make sure I have the ingredients, try to be a good host and all that. Man, I feel like I've become a damn housewife! But actually after a year of dorm life and especially dorm food, I don't really mind anymore. Though it's not really that fantastic as yet, I'm so glad I'm eating homecooked food.
I managed to find a job as a school librarian as well, so probably from next week onwards, my schedule will include working in the Physics library. It's quite a pathetic job, miserable pay and all, but I need the money, so I shall not complain. The woman in charge looks really nice and kind too, so I don't think I'm going to mind working for her. There's a possibility that I'll continue with this job even during my fall semester - I wonder how I'm going to do that, with my tight class schedule and all that, but I'll try. I hate having to wait for my scholarship allowance to come in, every 6 months. At least now I'm earning some basic income on my own.
So that is basically what I'm up to mostly these days - trying to keep up with class readings, planning my meals and replying emails. It sounds so incredibly boring, but I think I'm happy. There's this sudden sense of stability that I'm feeling right now, like I'm in control of my life and whatever happens, I will be able to handle it. Financial problems, loneliness, screwed up class work, it all doesn't matter anymore. I just feel like I'm in control. Maybe because I'm cooking my own food. Haha...
