topsy turvy
what a confusing day... started the day alrite, but slowly as i went to sch, rushed through some tutorials, etc, felt more and more tired. even frustrated. morning announcement next. had to make it again. quite scary... was feeling surprisingly calm when i first went up but as the national anthem dragged on and the first announcement came got quite nervous. and when i went up things just didn't go the way i wanted. perhaps cos of debating i like to move around a li'l bit, gesticulate a li'l when i speak to large groups of pple. but the mike there didn't allow that. could hear my own echo behind me during the announcement. think that made me go softer. and the telling-myself-to-talk-slower before it didn't really work. think it was a li'l soft and not really satisfied with what i did. but at least it's over... now to think of the idea next week with the mascot... grr, no inspiration at all...
two lectures next. somehow got increasingly frustrated as they went on. and it's not really cos of the announcements. more like those kind of untargeted irritation towards everyone and everything when suffering from those early morning blues. found solace in sleeping the day away... woke up twice by keith during chem lecture. sure, the first one was cos ms chua was coming and the next one cos there was sth to copy. i should be thankful for that but i just hate it when pple wake me up prematurely.
drowned two cups of coffee during break next to try get my spirits up. didn't work. so idled the most of the day away. physics talk by some professor from nus quite interesting and kinda perked things up a li'l.
treated the seniors pizza and a bday cake for bryan during first aid. things getting better. then was championing for 'world peace' throughout the whole thing. feel bad for both sides lor... hope things get a li'l better. don't think it's something we should blow the whole matter up. loads of slacking around after that. and once again the group is the last to leave the first aid room. went lib hoping to do some tutorials i've been lagging behind. but still so tired. and so bloated from the four pizza slices and three slices of cake. (was already kinda full when the 'hoping-to-get-rid-of-leftovers' from weishan and 'obligatory and also hoping-to-clear-leftovers' one from weiteng came. i guess i'm too cynical heh. pardon me, weishan and weiteng, if u somehow found this haha. frankly, i'm kinda surprised there weren't negative feedback bout the announcement.
oh, i've digressed. so did just two or three qn and started packing up. once again, we took 30min to an hour to get everyone to agree to go back. feeling much better but still so drained... was thinking of getting a double shot espresso at the lib but decided i'm taking too much caffeine. even arthur lim said out of nowhere some time back that drinking coffee regularly isn't good... time to cut down again...
