it's strange being so awake at such an hour, especially since i've not been able to stay up any later than 2am in the past week. and especially since i don't actually have any urgent work to do. [in sharp contrast to my sleepiness last night when i actually really had to study for my exam today....]

i cannot believe i'm just hours away from seeing poachie in vancouver. i've been looking forward to this for so long it's incredible it's already here. woohoo! i'm going to have to miss one day of class on friday - that's the day i'll be getting my exam papers back too, so i wonder if it's a good or bad idea. hmm. i managed to get my friends to promise to go though, so i can have their notes to copy when i get back. i hate missing classes, especially this summer because i actually enjoy the classes, but hey gotta make some sacrifices.

i broke an egg yesterday, i forgot to mention. well, not usually a big deal, but i seldom break things these days. i'm not usually so accident-prone, so it's very disturbing to just see that egg fall out of my hands and onto the kitchen floor where it smashed into slimy goo with white bits of egg shells. anyway i cleaned it up, and now there's one patch of the kitchen floor that's especially clean. i also decided to punish myself by not cooking myself an omelette after all. bad bad egg-breaker me.

my thermodynamics prof is really quite cute. [i mean goofy cute, i don't mean drool-icious cute.] in my last homework assignment, i basically wrote something about an integral that was wrong, though i guess superficially it looked correct. my prof specifically asked to see me during break, which made me so nervous for half the class period. turns out that mistake isn't really so simple after all, even he cannot understand why it's wrong though he knows that it definitely not right. so over the past few days, he checked up books, asked the older profs, everything, just to find out how he could explain it to me. eventually he managed to get hold of this prof who wrote a thermodynamics book, and it took him 4 hours to understand everything completely from that prof.

so there he was, attempting to condense all that 4 hours of info, to try to explain it to me in 5 minutes. well, to me, he didn't make much sense. but his enthusiasm for me as a student is just, well, very admirable. such a cute prof. after i said "orh, orh, orh, okay, thanks" a few times over his explanation, i returned to my seat. as an afterthought, he called out to me, and half-joked, "so you're really not too wrong, you're thinking on a higher level than this class needs!" erm. okay...kinda like a compliment, but not quite, eh?

i'm thinking i should bring some baby carrots along later, in case i get hungry on the flight, or while waiting at the airport, or something. i saw someone bring a pack of salad with him before. hmm. i should also remember to bring my war and peace with me, so i have no choice but read it.

what a messed up entry that consists of random semi-coherent thoughts. hmm. i think i'm just too excited.
