301001, 2114hr, illinois time.

today isn't really that much better than yesterday in terms of my mood, cos i didn't get any work done yesterday, though i finally did do my laundry. clothes i thought disappeared turned out to have been stuck in the pits of my laundry basket. i also did an inventory of the clothes that i own, and decided that i'm a terrible girl who should stop shopping already.

i woke up late this morning again [did the alarm ring at all? i don't remember.] and had to get alvin to give me a ride to class. class was terrible cos i couldn't concentrate at all, and the style of the lecture was such that i had to take notes from the lecturer's speech, which means i actually have to listen and digest what he's saying before writing down the main points. sigh. i thought this sytem was good, cos it made me think actively in class, instead of copying notes blindly, but today, i felt like it was a terrible system, cos i obviously didn't write anything coherent down.

then on my way home from class, i almost got knocked down by a car. it was my right of way, i'm very sure of it. the car was making a left turn, and probably didn't see me crossing the road. i first got a shock, then stepped back, to let the car pass first, cos i know cars are coming his way, and will probably hit him if he doesn't move quickly. it wasn't like i was thinking, i just instinctively stepped out of the way for him. and guess what that asshole did? he did this palm-up hand gesture at me and the traffic light, i presume signalling that i was in the wrong. like duh?! the pedestrian light was blinking, but it sure wasn't when i started walking, or when he almost hit me. sheesh! of course, he sped off before i could spit at his car. or kick it. shit. asshole. i was still in a state of shock when i finally got to the other side of the road, and i still couldn't believe i just got patronized by an impetuous driver who almost ran me over. argh.

besides my near death experience [haha] actually nothing else bad happened to me today. i actually managed to finish my japanese homework, which i'm very proud of. started on my communications homework, which totally demoralized me. motivated to finish my GIS essay now, cos i got my last assignment back and i scored pretty well, i'm sure my grader has a really good impression of me now, i should keep the momentum going. work was fine, except 2 idiots come to return huge stacks of books [like at least 10 books each], all of which did not belong to the physics library, which meant that i had to do extra work of routing them to their respective libraries. i usually am not so whiny about work, but these 2 people just pissed me off anyway.

i was talking to lynn yesterday, and she mentioned that the journal entries that she read here tend to sound very coherent, well rounded and seemingly fake cos it's so well constructed. oh well. that's really just my style. or maybe she just hasn't seen stupid entries like this one, that's got no central concept, nor any spirit.

i wish i can go take a shower now, but i got locked out of my room again. sigh. so now i'm whiny, dirty, tired and very stressed up.

shout out to tk: thanks for dinner!!! you're my blessing today. =)
