tammaiyaOh jesus OW.
Actually it's faded to a vague tingle now.
But what was that in aid of, you ask? Well, for some reason I am not quite sure of, when I am studying on the floor I automatically do it in seiza. Which doesn't hurt... UNTIL YOU GET UP, whenceupon you have pins and needles and imprints in your skin that match the carpet.
I don't think I'll fail this exam, but I'm starting to get really stressed about whether I'll finish my revision in time. BLAH.
Dad went to Oakes' Day AKA Ladies' Day; it's one of the other race days in Melbourne Cup week. So yes, he's in Melbourne. He gets back tonight. Anyway, he won $105 on the horses-- clearly he's lucky this week. I'm sure he spent it all on fancy restaurants. XD
I read all of xxxHOLiC in one hit the other day. I am, as ever, CLAMP's bitch. Doumeki/Watanuki is my new otp LIKE I NEEDED ONE. Or it is for now. Time shall see. But as I said to Leareth re: volume 7, "I am reminded of Seishirou!"
This morning I went to bed at 5.30am. The plan was to pull an all nighter, but I changed the plan. Not because I was tired, but because I was not working very fast and I was like "okay, coke can only do so much." And I realised I FORGOT TO HAVE MY 12 HOUR INSULIN. Until 5.30. 5 hours after my last dose would have run out. Ahahaha. Strangely, my blood sugar wasn't ridiculously high.
Today I took Ebony for a walk down to the shops to send Ji a letter. This was a big event for me, not just because I had to get dressed to leave the house or because I actually did exercise, but because this is the first letter I have sent by myself. In fact, a few instances of cards aside, this is the first time I have sent anything, I think.
Yes, I'm almost 19. Yes, I know this is really sad. And the post office guy obviously thought I was weird when I didn't know where to put the letter to send it. But I have an IRRATIONAL FEAR OF SENDING LETTERS. Not writing them, just sending them. I have tried before and always failed.
So I'm very proud of myself. Pathetically enough. Not that I'm not still afraid of sending letters, but perhaps less so.
I'm listening to Sarah Brightman cd on repeat, plus Landslide, in winamp. Very uplifting stuff, but SO BEAUTIFUL. That applies to Landslide and Sarah Brightman, for the record. I suspect this is partially why I can't drag my mind out of S&S mode long enough to work on the next x-mas fic, but that's probably just as well until this exam at least is over. I'll do some on Monday, after the exam. *resolves*
Speaking of Landslide I found the guitar tab for it today. It looks a little hard but I think with practice (AFTER EXAMS) I can learn it.
Also, my sister is home for the weekend. For her 10 year reunion. She went to the same school that I just graduated from last year; it's changed a lot since she was there. Lots of new facilities and buildings.
I'm going to stop procrasinating now, really.
ETA:
Mum: What do you want for snacks during your exams?
Me: Chocolate.
Mum: Isn't that high GI?
Me: No, low, the fat slows down the sugar.
Mum: Oh. What kind?
Me: Uh... chocolate bars... Cadbury?
Mum: Milk chocolate?
Me: Um, yeah.
Mum: Okay.
Me: *thinks* ... THAT WAS EASY.
~later~
Mum: I have to go change these t-shirts for Siobhan.
Ceilidh: What t-shirts?
Mum: Well, I had to buy her t-shirts for her exams. She hasn't done a lot of washing.
Ceilidh: ...
Mum: She doesn't have that many that fit her, it's her first year out of school.
Ceilidh: ... right, I thought you were saying you had to buy her tops because she hadn't done any washing.
Me: *cheerfully* Oh, that too. There's stuff I still haven't washed since January, actually.
