want one, get one

i was really surprised at how eventful it was, it got rather overwhelming and surreal at times. personally i've been dreading the start because somehow i am getting quite jaded with campus and the reasons for our strife so i guess a beautiful day is god's reminder of hope and enduring faith.

anyway.

in the morning i had a terrible nightmare that i overslept that D&D were lecturing me in the car so i jolted awake and realized that... my alarm had not even rung -_-. so i 'woke up' again and made it to the taxi stand on time! (10 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR FOR PUNCTUALITY) but he wasn't there yet. D picked me up at 730AM (OMG I HATE EARLY DAYS) and there was terrible traffic from bradell to lornie it was insanely slow and halfway D calls D to ask about traffic conditions and I was the middle person so was basically translating into more politically correct form what D was trying to say:

"Idiots driving on the road I swear"

"Oh, he says it's because of some inconsiderate people on the road la"

We were 5 minutes late for our Tragedy lecture (aptly named) and Mel was already there! So sat down and played the role of diligent students until D walked in at 910 HAHA. It was really nice to see all the majors again! (: Somehow I feel that a small cohort can be cosy too because you really get to know people on a personal level. We made new friends and we ate brunch together at the Deck! Yong Tau Foo to kickstart my semester, never can go wrong with that. Unfortunately I was zero percent productive during our long break because I didn't bring my matric card, Mel wanted to pass the readings BUT she had to go home first so that means = I'm only getting it next week AND the book was out of stock. Wth. Bad things consolidate dot com. Went to meet KQ and JN and the twins for lunch! Really good to see them, haven't seen anyone outside of Lit/CSS for a semester now - we are engaging in plans to showcase our bright and vibrant campus HAHAHA sigh hope It gets into Action.

I was slightly late for my second lecture (Psychoanalysis) and she ended super early to the extend that I couldn't meet the seller. Think I must have gone paranoid trying to change the meeting time until the person texted to apologize because he thought I was waiting for him (which I semi was, but okay la I was going to go home soon) and he REDUCED THE PRICE BY $9. CAN SOMEBODY SAY AWESOME? (: Wow I was so happy I didn't even notice how LOUSY my ARTS CANTEEN GUAVA was in that moment.

D gave me a lift back too! Was really thankful because I had TONS of books I kid you not - D's 20th C books, the two books I bought from Mel, and the coursepack I bought. I dropped by the library to borrow Agamennon because shipment is being a crankypoo and I went home.

AND I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING AT HOME ):
Magic words are "come watch movie" and DIEEEEEE - Bollywood movies being a grand commitment of 3 hours plus we watch the current drama series too so yeah came online to check stuff BUT ended up fretting about my M.Card which THANK YOU JESUS I found. I think I can get a cardio workout everyday just freaking out seriously.

Basically today was a grateful day for

1) awesome coursemates who are better friends - generally get along better with them now and i'm so proud of myself

2) good weather

3) THE AWESOMENESS OF PRIVATE TRANSPORT

4) FREE BOOKS

5) Mr Twitch. Ok irrelevant but it was just so peaceful sitting him on my lap today while he was sleeping, and looking at the gentle rain on the windowpanes. It really made me think alot about life and how people think it's important to be happy, but what I think should really take the cake is attaining peace. Happiness comes automatically.

Just a thought!
