saturday

wake up
eat breakfast
etc etc, blog from library
study for an hour
attempt to print – 5 minute before closing, timer shuts it off
download file from wireless
come home, 6:30, study until 1:30, with an almost 2 hour break to talk to parents and then maha. best moment of the week, seriously.
ate potatoes (breathed hot potatoe air) with eggs. completely ran out of products: tomorrow morning its cheese or oatmeal :)
continued studying until 1:30, wrote half of paper, with plan for the next half.
went to living room, watched drunk people finish their drinking game. francesca got drunk first. sandra n eeds very little to get drunk
-> water given to francesca who fell … erm … sick…
-> russian games explained
-> apparently drinking games aren’t fun if you’re not there from beginnig, not that i care
-> 2:30 – go sleep. set alarm for 7:30, to start writing paper, again.

woke up at 8. had small breakfast. went to write paper. finished at 4, went to library, printed, met holgar who i take bus to french with and who is also in soc sci

found out can’t hand in paper in the afternoon, only monday morning at 8:30

gave paper to holgar for him to hand in

talked ot him – he has computer laptop – i offered he borrows my laptop for the night so he can finish his paper

go home

at home: get completely and utterly sick, again. fall asleep very early. wake up at 11, give laptop to holgar, go back to sleep.

wake up at 6 from disaterous throat pain, to the point where i can’t speak or swallow anything. thirsty like hell – drink a tiny can of coke cause thats all the energy i have to get – its on my window shield.

at 6:30 after giving up on the battery actually working, feel the battery turning on. feel warm and fall asleep.

11 – tom wakes me up, asks if i want to go shopping. i say yes. wake up. drink, with huge pain tea. go back to my room, fall asleep. at 12, tom leaves to shopping with a list of what i want (written by me). i go back to sleep.

1 – tom comes back, i eat nutella sandwich, ham/cheese sandiwch, grapes. he bought medicine: against throat pain, that plainly numbs the area on which the tablet lies – so in this case, its back of my tongue as well, and some strong painkillers, ibuprofen 400.

2 – i take medicine, get laptop back from holgar, feel happy and mellow due to no pain and generally no feelings. hate the feeling of numbness, i prefer feeling something!

2-6: talk to mirjam cause she is moving to a different building tomorrow. borrow her my old coolpix, explain how to use it, talk about her family, generally have awesome bonding time. sucks that she’s leaving!
i’m not giving her my camera, juts borrowing for a few weeks so that she cna try if photography is for her.

6: help tom finish his law paper.
6:10: take shower
6:20: burn chinese cds, dry hair, dress
6:45: leave with tom who’s driving me cause i’m too sick to bike or take bus. he will pick me up at 9:30, which is in 6 minutes.

go to chinese, spend 2 hours on tylenol, redbull. fun! yeah.

now to go home. tomorrow: 6 hours of classes. i’m chairing 2 hours of those! have to read 30 pages for tomorrow! and then go to the other side of the river for french.

here is what i typed earlier:

the tv brings people together. i’m sitting in the living room, hopped up on painkillers of various kinds, eating grapes to get some vitamins. rammstein’s “amerika” video comes on – if you haven’t seen it accidentally, don’t really bother to d/l it, but it basically displays the influence of americanized culture on the world (a muslim bowing to the smoke stacks, tibetians eating macdonalds, chinese guy on a motorbike). the whole floor joins in for this song.
also “follow me” or “come to me”, i’m not sure. the video displays a whole bunch of half naked girls exercizing to this really awesome dance tune, so obviously all of the guy population of the floor gathers to drool and listen to the song when it starts playing.

tomorrow, i will be online between my classes.

time for a new poll! apparnetly most people are liars according to the last poll.

september 9th, evening

ah, so to save myself energy i am going back to typing my diary entries before sleep, that is when i am not dead tired.

after typing that entry and starting to talk to my parents via email and hesi via icq, peter plus julia (sweet, i remembered her name from the first try!! never met her before) stopped by. i was sitting outside with the laptop (you need the student card to enter and *exit* the building, mine doesn’t work for either, so i left when someone else was leaving as well), but they were leaving, and therefore i interrupted my conversations to figure out with them whats happening tonight.

we walked back to the bike stand, through the small courtyard and grass hill (by hill i mean a 4 square meter piece of ground with some soft green grass on it where students hang out when the courtyard is full), down the tiny paved roads. peter has spoken of an even that the student organization of the UCM is organizing for tonight: free entrance and free beer for UCM students.

considering i got my cellphone, i have taken his number and told him that i will sms him regarding my plans and the plans of my floormates. afterthat i biked home, as it was 8:10, dinner at 8:30 (we all jokingly call francesca mama, because she is so protective of the dinner time and her prerogative to cook), i had to get home.

biking home was as always nice and sad at the same time. it is odd, when i come home in the evenings after hanging out online, i always end up going around sunset time, so the sky and surrounding areas are fantastic (especially with the clear weather that we had for the past week!), but since i have just spoken to my friends and parents in canada i feel a bit nostalgic.

is nostalgic even the right word, considering im returning in about 3.5 months? hmmm.

anyway, came home, kinda didn’t help make dinner at all, cleaned up my room very nicely instead. after dinner i got a *horrendous* headache (probably from the bad spanish wine we had… nothing better than french wine, especially if you are living with 3 french people, so remember that!), and just really felt like reading something and not being with people. i gave francesca my phone so that she can activate it and sms her parents that she’s alright, went into my room and began reading my philosophy papers for tomorrow.

i am not sure for how long i was doing that, i took off my watch, so these events happened at some point from 9pm-1:30am.

francesca and thomas came in, took some photos with francesca’s film camera, then thomas brought his canon (cute camera), and i copied photographs from his camera onto my laptop.

before dinner i attempted to take photographs of some people but none of them really wanted to be shot, so i didn’t press it. however thomas’s photographs display life here fairly well:

read the comments for explanations.

anywaaay, after all that i finished reading my philosophy (i have one paper left to read, considering i had 8, i think that’s pretty not bad), i went to the living room/juliens room where we all intermedeately hung out. julien and i spent some time talking about the difficulties that he has with english, and i can see how painful it is for him to not to be able to full express his thoughts. its like… when i was in paris i kept wanting to use verbs other than faire, avoir, penser, but i always had to, to explain to luke where i think we should go, type of thing. anyway, it pained me to be so limited, and i can see how it hurts him. i offered my most sincere help with any english difficulties that he might have, i think i have gotten through to him that he can ask him any questions.

it is freaky to realize that beside the irish guy (david) (he’s scottish actually), i speak english the best. and all of them are just kinda used to asking me now. feels nice, but seriously, lets face it, i’m not the best resource for good english. blah!

anyway, after that jerome and thomas and francesca and simon joined the conversation, but it got crowded and they all have early class tomorrow (mine is at 1, w00t), so we all went to sleep, and that’s when i typed this entry.

my attempts to contact family/friends through sms did not succeed. i wonder whether i am doing something wrong, or what.

i feel like i’m going to fall asleep in the chair, so i shall fall into bed (in a room this size it is literally falling into bed, hehe. seriousl though, i expected the room to be way tinier, it feels very spacious and nice.)

listening to:malcolm mclaren – about her, from kill bill 2

i wonder if i’m prepared.
my days have been so mundane the past few days. with the slight interruptions for conversation with people other than [5 people who i always talk to], i studied, and ate. and slept. and that’s it.
it feels like im vegetating to a reading/eating/drinking/sleeping/studying/memorizing/reciting machine. very depressing.

i got new pretty shoes when i went with hesi this saturday for a clear-mind break. i need relaxation.

instead, i’m getting my wisdom teeth out, the day after tomorrow. tomorrow, evening, exam and wed may 5th 9am i have a wisdom teeth operation.

blah!

tell me wisdom teeth UNhorror stories. or horror stories if you’re someone whom i know. cause i’m freakin’ out man! i didn’t have ANY operations… like … none since a simple one at the age of 4.

my textbook used the word probe. tee-hee. that’s all. first coherent entry in a while.

overreacting

date: 1080103423

mood: relaxed
listening to:marilyn manson – i don’t like the drugs

i overreact too quickly.
i was walking home and thinking of a neat algorithm.
maybe there is osmething for me in those “com-puters”, but yeah, i just need better timing sot hat i don’t end up freaking out in the last second and not being able to get a grip on myself.

my day went so not how i expected. i have a beaaaaaaaautiful plan to finish 1.5 assignments meet prof, have lunch with dad and then go shopping in chinatown.
unfortunately things didn’t work out… anyway. point being i finished assignment 5 minutes before it was due, handed it in (CVS), ran to class (mmm showered looking pretty).

i have too many (shitty) bags. MUST have garage sale this spring and get rid of all the weird junk.
anyway, on a … hmm, weird, on a garage sale last year i got this … “wetsuit ™ 4.0” made by “silicon sports”

its a thingie like this http://i8.ebayimg.co…/i/00/b3/1b/6f_1.JPG (only flatter, all black, more like tiny suitcase, it fits on a regular sheet of paper) which is theoretically for some form of an HP laptop (has a built in metalish plate for hte keyboard). its light, compact and … i dunno i never used it as a bag but it fits 2 palms, keyboard, wallet, lipgloss, mp3player, cellphone, pen – very neately. no space left but yeah, its super neat and accessible.

its getting warmer. its awesome!

listening to:edge102

damnit, i can’t find the videos of which they are speaking

http://www.canada.co…b2-9d5e-06b57f19cdc6

i wonder if rival stations are gonna be playing them.

and www.frankmagazine.ca just crashed, i’m guessing because everyone went there after the radio annouced where you can get the videos. i think they have a link but its down (obviously).

today i’m shooting people – a dance group. a long big project. i’ll go take a quickie shower so that i feel good the whole day. =)
