(0 ) 00:31 Blogging now because I absolutely cannot make it past the abstract of a paper I'm reading for my Info Literacy class.
Today is one of my long-break days. 4 hours of break. Got quite a bit of stuff done during the break like topping up my printing account, buying my Comm Research textbook, printing notes, collecting my Marketing notes, and having class until 6. My linguistics and marketing tutorials weren't as bad as I thought they would be though. In fact they were pretty enjoyable, especially the linguistics tutorial.
There's speech comm tutorial tomorrow. Ugh, I hate public speaking. I don't get stage fright, so that's not the problem. The problem is that I usually have nothing to say. I mean I usually have nothing to say in normal situations as it is. I catch myself more stuttering more frequently and being at a loss for words, things I never used to do. I don't know why either. But the upshot is, I have nothing to say in front of everyone. I hope my tutor talks more about himself, since he loves talking so much.
I don't think I can pass the archery trials next Saturday. I didn't want to say this, because I didn't want to engage in "negative thinking", but it's true. I was shooting on Monday and I was absolutely hopeless at 50m. Makes me kind of disgusted with myself. Going down to train on Thursday, but suddenly I don't really feel the motivation. But yeah, I know I need to do something. Oh and I'll bring my cap this time because the sun was unbearably hot on Monday.
Oh and did I mention that I have bad luck? Sigh. Thought I was being clever, leaving the range before it rained. Got caught in it on the way home anyway. Was at the bus stop when it started raining but was half wet because of the wind by the time I got on the bus. When I reached my stop, I discovered to my dismay that the bus stop was flooded. My shoes were totally soaked as I sloshed through the water and I was so upset that I didn't really care how much wetter I was going to get on the walk home. To top it off, I had a headache from the heat. And I had to teach tuition that day. Panadol was my saviour.
Gah. I'd better go finish off that reading or I'll never do it. You know what? On second thought--heck it. I'm just going to sleep. I'm beat.
