My heart hurts.
metaphorically speaking, that is. trust me, i wouldn't be this calm if i felt physical discomfort in my heart. one thing that does physically hurt, though, is my throat...but we'll get to that later.
so, why does my heart hurt? well, i can't be entirely sure, but i'm more than willing to bet that it's because i've been thinking too much this recess week. the "could be"s, "what if"s, "if only"s...all of them are coming back to haunt me. as if that wasn't enough, my brain has conjured up a few new impossible scenarios as well. it kind of sucks. i suppose i'll be all right, as long as i don't get too emo while convincing myself that those situations are practically impossible.
as for my throat, my cough has slightly worsened over the past 3 days. even my usual remedy of drinking twice my normal daily water intake isn't working. it's slightly annoying, but this level of sickness is nothing i can't work through. i just hope it doesn't get any worse when school starts again.
the last 3 days were mostly spent slacking, with occasional bouts of work thrown in. my lab report is almost done, and i've got bits and pieces of japanese reading in here and there. not much progress on econs and instrumental analysis, but i figure i can make that up. did a little bit of organic synthesis, which was helped by a lecture on monday. all in all, i could have studied a little bit more, but i'm kind of satisfied with the amount of work done.
one event of note was the NUS judo function this past tuesday. university-level barbeques are on a different level...or maybe it's just us. well, having a vice-captain who knows his food (and who has friends that know their food as well) does have benefits. i must say, we ate ridiculously well, both in quantity and quality. going for the function has also given me even more crazy cooking ideas. quick sidetrack: buying a whole salmon didn't happen in the end for a couple of reasons. (1)the fish weighs about 4kg, which is too much for me to get through in the remaining time before school resumes. (2)the weight of the fish means that they cost about $70 each, which is kind of over budget. oh well. maybe in december. anyway, i got the inspiration to try to make this potato salad which they did...only that mine turned out more like mashed potato. either way, i'm not complaining, since my stuff tastes good. i'm almost tempted to make a large batch every sunday, then let it last me throughout the week. only thing is, i don't know how long it'll last before it goes bad. well, guess i can try it out...
looking at the next couple of days, i think i'll still be reasonably free. have to finish up my japanese homework, as well as sort out the references for my lab report. not forgetting i've got dinner with some chem kids tomorrow. right now, i think i need sleep...or at least a break. staring at the computer for about 11 hours can't be good for health.
