Running
The human race leaves me gasping for breath.

Shagged
As a follow-up to yesterday's post, YES, I'm indeed feeling damn SHAGGED after training. The good news is that I think my running improved. Then again it might be an illusion cos I run in front since I was the slowest the other day. LOL. No matter. But I still have like, zero strength in my flabby arms. Arrrgggghhhh. 1.5 litre bottles are the bane of my arms. T_T I must trainnnnn.

ARGH mid-term for 201 next week? I can't believe Xiaoming. How can he tell us about midterms ONE WEEK BEFORE? Okay. His course is, as I mentioned before, quite D.U.H. But still. Tsk.

Ohno there's COM203 quiz on Monday! I have 3 days to study! Effectively 2 because my Saturday is gone (archery + MAF!). And I always go out with Mummy on Sunday and that takes away half to 3/4 of the day. WHICH MEANS I need to mug hard tomorrow. Yeachhh <-- reaction at thought of having to do all those boring readings AGAIN. Aiya. I shouldn't be pia-ing so hard. It is a 10 MCQ quiz, okay? I'm trying to be an overachiever, cannot ar?

Jap is becoming damn interesting! We just learned dictionary form of verbs and how to turn them into ますform and ないform. And we just touched on transitive and intransitive verbs for "give": あげる and くれる. Now I just need to practice and stop being so confused as to when to use which.

There's a guy from CS in my Jap class. I don't think he knows I exist, and I have no guts to go up and talk to him. I think he smokes, but I'm not too sure. He hangs out with people who do, at any rate. Oh, I really can't stand people who smoke. Sigh. My lunggggs.

Which reminds me. Today after our running we went to the water cooler at the grandstand to fill our 1.5 lit bottles so that we could torture ourselves with them. Then these (seriously, I don't want to say it, but it's a fact) these middle-aged men from China were SMOKING nearby. OH MY GOD LAH. We were damn fucking pissed can. And I think they were lecturers lor. OMG can't they READ English? It's prohibited to smoke in the SRC! Wanna give us all lung cancer is it? We were all so tired from 6 rounds and 3 rounds of pushups and crunches can. And then that. UGHHH.

Sian, tomorrow still have to go to school. I keep on thinking tomorrow is Saturday. Don't remind me about Saturday! Have to wake up early for training. Sigh I can't even hold my bow properly because I have no strength. :( I feel sad.

Afterword: The above post is written as I would have said it. To use such an atypical writing style attests to how my brain has turned to mush. I just want to sleep. Zzz. At least my lecture is at 11 tomorrow and I can wake up at 10 if I want to (I did it before and I wasn't late :P).

Schedule
OMG what am I doing up at this hour? I have no idea either. And I wasn't getting any work done. Good thing is I finally caught up on my Japanese vocab which I've been neglecting, but my Spaish needs a lot of work. Finally handing in the 258 project tomorrow! One deadline off my back. But there's the 815 project we've yet to come up with a proposal for (my group is composed of strangers, seriously), and a 203 quiz to study for (CHERIANGEORGEOHNO) and a 201 8.30am lecture tomorrow morning that is a waste of 2 hours. Seriously I can study by just reading the textbook.

And there's training tomorrow which I have to rush down for after Spanish and then Jap to rush off for after that. ;o;

Thursday is tiring. It used to be Tuesday, but I've decided not to come down on Tuesdays because I will just die.

Oh yeah. Have to bring my bow to school tomorrow as well. Luckily one of my friends agreed to let me put my bow in her hall, but I've still got to lug it around until lunchtime tomorrow.

Argh. My poor shoulders. They have to carry the burden of so many heavy things.

Familiar Music
Oh my god! The moment I heard Kings of Convenience's I Don't Know What I Can Save You From in Coffee Prince I totally freaked. In a good way, of course. :D Don't know why, but such a small detail has made me beyond happy! It comes on in Episode 9, at about 7:45. Ahhh! KOC! in Coffee Prince! :D

I love hearing music I recognise when I'm not expecting it. It's as magical as a coincidence.

My right arm aches weirdly. I think I'm pulling my bow wrongly. No wait, I know I'm pulling it wrongly. The coach said so, and I can feel it. But I'm just not strong enough; my arms feel like twigs when I try and draw my damned bow. Argh. To go from pulling 18 pounds to 24 pounds is tehsuck, especially when you haven't trained much at all.

Eh well, I'm supposed to be working on my group project. I hate hate hate editing. I don't know if it's just me, but I think it's one of the most time-consuming jobs, right after research.

Gah, tired. I haven't had a full day to myself in weeks. Have to go to the temple tomorrow to pray. I don't subscribe to these beliefs, but I'm just going along with it. I suppose respecting my relatives is important too. Have to miss the 5km Shape run I signed up for though. :( I wanted the goodie bag and T-shirt!

Aeons Later
Haven't posted for an online equivalent of aeons. Not that there was much to say anyway. Oh wait, scratch that, it's more like there was nothing much I thought was appropriate to say. Perhaps I'm trying to run away from the truth of it all by not letting myself say the words (or write them) at all, but it's not like I'm going to start now.

So I'm a month into uni life. I'm still trying to adjust. It's not easy. Nobody cares if you don't do your work or skip lectures. You've got to push yourself to do research and come up with your own schedule. Maybe it's just me, but I find uni busy already. Have a few papers and projects due and the thought of them make my palms sweat a little. But oh well.

Oh, I joined archery! Like finally. Have PT twice a week though. Argh. And it has to be on Tuesdays and Thursdays too, when I have Jap. But exercising makes me happy. Ran 2.4 today. Garrgh. running with guys is so damn demoralising.

It's September. God, time passes so fast.
