Chocolate Covered Nomnom

Mar. 28th, 2009 at 12:20 am

Yesterday, I almost did not hear my alarm go off and just missed sleeping entirely through my last real Actuarial lecture. I woke up, and crisis averted, got there on time. Then, I ate and made an outline for my paper.

Several hours were then spent in the library, intermittently writing my paper, buying chocolate, and taking breaks to play bubbles. I actually finished my paper before dinner, and just needed to stop back in after quesidillas to make a bibliography and edit. I spent probably fifteen minutes longer than necessary ensuring that the word count was exactly 2000 words long for my 2000 word essay. Yay me!

After finishing my paper, I went over my friend Paul's and watched Date Movie and Beerfest (yes, both very classy) and went to bed far too late, but it was worth it. It was also nice to get to hang out with Vanessa's visiting friend a bit, since I'd been decently bogged in work up until now. It'd be really cool if I could legitimately feel like I could just relax now, but unfortunately Actuarial is going to take a lot of studying and I have a 2500 word essay due at the end of the month, and I'll be traveling a decent amount in the upcoming weeks.

Today started out normal- class (which let out early and was relatively useless to begin with), turning in my architecture paper, shower, food, nap, talking to Mum, and then my last Actuarial lecture (supposedly revision but really just uselessness in disguise). When I was in the library after Actuarial, I felt very much like that kid- the one that no one suspects would have it in her, relatively quiet in class and nice, who suddenly goes homicidal. That would be because a guy I once had a brief conversation in Actuarial with came up to talk to me, and commented that I always sat on my own and it made him sad. Honestly, I just couldn't be bothered to force my friendship on anyone in the course- all of them are third years and would be graduating soon- so I would roll in to class just as it started and leave once it ended. Worked out fine for me. After ten minutes of chatting (during which I discovered he and his friends would be pulling an all-nighter in the library- what?? Classes just ended!) I realized that he was just making sure I didn't go crazy. It was funny.

Dinner was pretty good, though it took a 2 and a half hour wait and was pretty ridiculously spicy- a Pakistani place called Tayyabs. They had banana lasi which was AWESOME. But no cheese nan. Van and I split biryani and were very full. Whilst waiting in line (which awkwardly wound through the entirety of the restaurant) V and I were hungry and grumpy, so when we were standing alongside the candy counter, V bought bladjammin (or something) and I got chocolate covered nomnom (ie Butterfree- BEEEFREEE! (Pokemon? Yeah.), ie barfi). This cheered us up for about 45 minutes more of our wait, and I serenaded Vanessa with some glorious songs of hunger.

Van and I are now in the library, and I am uploading a few more photo albums on to facebook. Hopefully the newest laptop sent to my house will work. That would be lovely.
