a summer of sorts

i don't know if it is the toll of the weather,or the consequence of whatever medicine i'm currently chugging.i'm dying of heat ever since i had the flu.on one hand it's such a dread to bathe and aggravate my cold,but on the other i'm finding myself sweating it out in my room for God knows what reason.maybe my aircon is spoilt.but who the hell feels hot in aircon in the first place?

it's august now.august in the northern hemisphere is the time of summer,whereas in the southern hemisphere it's winter because now the sun is over the tropic of cancer.it's the summer solstice! but then again Singapore's kinda at the equator so i'm not sure what difference it's all making.the equinox isn even here till late september,too.bah,geography.

nothing special today,or yesterday,or yesterday's yesterday.spent about 5 hours sitting in the balcony battling the heat of both the sun and the mighty slow printer trying to compile whatever the teachers had graciously left on blackboard for whoever,whatever,hardworking soul to download and work on.papers,papers,papers.i swear i could have printed over 200 pages worth of geog (especially geog!!) and lit.if this doesn't get me my A (which i'm totally banging for),i don't know what will (i could have saved all that paper!!).

ah well,i'm quite unproductive this week.not too bad progress but there's still so much stuff to be done.i'm up to my neck in paper (omg.) strewn around the room,not to mention all the carefully filed paper (omg.) in the many many files quietly waiting for me on the extra bed.how they beckon to my weary soul! (omg.)

speak of weary souls,i couldn't go to church today (sorry es HAHA.i felt only minutely guilty.) because of this progressive flu thing.i'm not sure if progressive means getting better or worse because in this context,i feel much worse having to cough every few minutes like i'm dying of TB or something,but then again the cough should be the last lap of a flu,right? i promptly fell asleep after trying to read the last part of market structure stuff.for 4 hours.and i'm off to bed in any moment,again.i am such a hero.

school's starting in 1 day and ending in 2 weeks.the prelims are that near.my hair can practically catch fire being so close.that is,if i haven't already pulled out all my hair trying to read through microecons (yet again) and worrying about all the complex and correlation tutorials i have yet to do (hooray!),plus all the human geog readings i have yet to start revising.i have relapsed into being a study freak!i can't even hold a decent conversation with anyone unless it's about 1. prelims or specifically, A levels 2. (i just typed 3,what is happening to me!) how sick i am,both of studying,and also really sick 3. my quickly diminishing social life,which,i quote myself "i can't hold a decent conversation with anyone",would leave me with no "anyone" to talk to anyway.

as irony would have it,this post makes me sound so interesting,doesn't it.

laughs cynically before cooking up another coughing fit.
