sorry for the linkage.

it has been pointed out to me by one of my (only) followers that i have been overloading this little online diary with links. this person did confess to clicking most of them, so at least they are somewhat interesting links, but i thought i should say a big 'i'm sorry!' to all of ya'll who stop by occasionally. it really is a matter of me being lazy, or i've been sent funny things i want to share or i just have a need to pass on things that i feel like i found out about too late or something.

anyway, i could just start writing about my day to day...

today:

7 am - alarm goes off. snooze button.

7:07 am - alarm goes off. snooze button.

7:14 am - alarm goes off. snooze button.

7:21 am - alarm goes off. i accept the fact that i am not going to 'get up early and go for a run' today. reset alarm for 8:30 am.

8:30 am - alarm goes off. receive a text from M saying he'd pick me up for uni at 9:30 am. i know this means he will be here at 9:45 am. snooze button.

8:37 am - alarm goes off. i sneak one toe out of bed. it's cold in my room. i contemplate staying under the covers a little longer, and end up convincing myself that it is okay if i stay in bed as long as i am 'planning' what i will do once i get out of bed ("first, go shower. then make a toast. and a coffee. mmm, coffee. with chocolate powder in it. mmmm mocha. etc."). realise that once i get up, i get a mocha. so i get out of bed. turn off my alarm.

8:40 am to 9:37 am - go on the internet, check email, print out notes for class. realise if i don't make a toast soon, i won't have a break to eat until 2 pm. make a toast and coffee with chocolate powder. M honks the horn out front, i run out of the house, forgetting to pack a very vital piece of equipment - my laptop charger. this completely defeats the purpose of me bringing my laptop to school since it has a battery life of about 17 minutes on a good day (when i turn down the screen brightness to conserve energy).

10 am to 2 pm - class.

2 pm to 2:30 pm - participate as a test subject for a psychology major who was researching the brain's capacity to process 'complex sentences' for his thesis. i am lead into a small room, sat down at a computer and told to read these really confusing sentences like "the gymnast who pictured the trainer running into a wall while drinking a banana-smoothie was very nervous about her competition next monday" or "the defense lawyer who accidentally spilled water on the judge's lap turned to yell at the prosecution for failing to acquire the required documentation before the trial". then, intermittently, a question pops up "did the judge yell at the prosecution?" and i have to press 'y' or 'n'. it isn't too bad in the beginning, but my poor brain gets very tired after 15 minutes of sentences.

2:30 pm to 4 pm - rent out an audio/video room with some friends under the guise of needing to watch VHS tapes about carbon emissions so that we could do prep work for our last tutorial of the day.

4 pm to 6 pm - class

6 pm to 6:30 pm - M drives me home.

6:30pm to 7:30pm - dinner (left-over cannelloni that has lasted me for three dinners now) and some 'lounging'. the tv tells me that the most viewed youtube clip at the moment is called 'battle at kruger' and that there is a new documentary out about it. i would put the link up here for you, but that would be contrary to the purpose of this post. sorry!

7:30 pm to 10:45 pm (now) - send an email to my mom thanking her for the nice care-package she sent me, read an article called the Methods of Social Control Through Law for a mid-semester assessment due next week and take some notes.

now, i wait to have a quick goodnight chat with T and get to sleep before midnight (fingers crossed).

sooooo.... is this better than embedding youtube clips? or should i do a better job of searching the interweb for 'new' and 'cool' stuffs!!! (i'm bad at that)

puss och kram, bean.
