Mood: a little lazy Fact of the day: event of the week sleeping in tomorrow morning.
Oh well, I found out my result today - it is exactly as expected. Which is not absolutely all that fantastic. I really wished I could score an A for my dance class, but too bad, despite my efforts, I still didn't. I'm not very upset though, just that there is a overall drop from last semester's grades, so I'm a little disappointed. Now, I can't imagine how I'm going to do well next semester, with all my horribly difficult courses.
Other than that, today has been a rather lazy day. Cooked porridge for lunch, bummed around for a while, later going to rent another video to watch. I called home this morning and I was so happy to talk to both my parents. I didn't tell them that I'm looking for a car right now, nor that I'm actually very short in cash. I only told them about my cooking, the new apartment, the summer course I'm studying and that's it. So in their mind, they probably think I'm leading a very idle and comfortable life right now. I didn't even tell them that I'll be working in the library. Oh well. I guess when I get really desperate, I will eventually have to turn to them for help, but for now, I'm contented just talking to them about the happier things.
The weather is horrible today. It's so cold these past 2 days, it hardly qualifies as summer. In fact, just two days ago, there was actually a hail storm. I was sitting right beside the window in my classroom, semi-conscious and sleepy, when I was very rudely woken up by the sound of the hail storm on the roof. There probably wouldn't be any precipitation today, but it's still very cold. I've already packed in all my winter clothes and I only kept one long sleeved shirt with me. So I've been wearing that same shirt for the past few days. So gross. I shall do laundry today.
I'm still feeling a little sore about my results, though I know I should stop being so petty about it. I think I should rent a comedy later to cheer myself up. Hmm. Oh, by the way, I finally managed to watch The Bird Cage on video two days ago. It's not fantastic, and I don't see why Singapore would rate it RA, pretty irritating. But I really like the gay flamboyant character Albert, very convincing and very loveable. There's one part when he finally revealed himself to be a man instead of a woman to the conservative senator guy, and he said, "I meant all that I said just now. I'm still the same person, except for one small difference." And I think that is the main concept about LGBT issues - they should not be judged and defined only by their sexual identity or orientation. They are just who they are. Oh well, a very subtle message hidden in a hilarious comedy. I like it. I watched Boys Don't Cry too, which is a much stronger movie, more shocking. And it really pains me to realise that this is a true story, that this is but one out of the many true stories of discrimination and violence associated with LGBTs. Sigh...man, the more I think about it, the worse I feel.
I should just hurry up and go rent a comedy. Last night was Friday night and we didn't do anything but bum around in bed, so I expect tonight to be only slightly better with at least a video to watch. Oh yeah, out of boredom, I've also taken to playing free cell on my laptop, since there's no internet connection in my apartment. Sigh. Talk about am exciting summer...
