Holidays are over!

It has been a long and busy holiday for me this year. After the finals were over I went south to my birthplace and stayed at my parents's. I was going to use the first week to clean out our old house and put it up for sale, but it took me the whole 4 weeks I had down there to clean it out!

After longing to get back up here for a couple of weeks I packed the car, convinced my friend Steven to drive with me and take a weeks holiday here, started driving to pick him up ... I got about 6 miles before my car broke down. Lucky for me, I was soon picked up by Steven in his car and we towed my wreck back to my dad's shop. After waiting 6 hours for a prognonsis the message was clear: the engine was bust! *sigh* Luckily Mom and Dad decided to lend me a car (since Steven  was driving with me, he could drive it back south too) and packed it to the brim and started driving again.

This time we got as far as 620 miles from home before something else happened. I had been getting gradually sicker the whole evening and night, and after  having to stop a few times so I could stretch and try to throw up, I started throwing up and passing out uncontrollable. Steven got me to the closest doctor and I was rushed to the closest hospital for an appendectomy.

That was 5 weeks ago, the last 4 weeks I have been a small place in the middle of nowhere on an excavation course.

So as you can see, it has beena  busy summer, but now I am back and fit for fight, and with lots of new tips and posts to post. So I hope you will enjoy them, and welcome back to a new school term.

Lots of love.

Writing into the night.

This Tuesday (today or tomorrow... it just turned Tuesday here) I have a paper due. I have been uterly lazy this week and postponed the reading to the final days... I now regret it.

I end up doing the same thing every time we have an assignment! I always get distracted by something else entirely and the studying gets put in second line, or third... And now I am chained to my desk. Tea at my side, pens, papers, books, glasses, eye drops and painkillers for my back. I am learning ^^. The paper is now due in 11 hours and I have only finished 1 of 4 to 6 pages. *sigh*.

And to top the whole thing off... Tomorrow we get the exam papers. We have one week to write 10 pages of first rate material on a subject still unknown. It freaks me out just thinking about it!


Oh well, time to get back to work.
Sleep tight everyone. Dream nice dreams for me, and rest in the knowledge that while you sleep I toil on.

Sleepy, exhausted and pleased!

Finally I am finished with that damned paper! It kept me up all night and all morning. It even distracted me during lectures this morning! But now it's delivered. No turning back. Past the point of no return... etc. You get the drift.

Right now I am contemplating if I'm going to go to the Inside I concert at 8pm or if I'm going to get some well deserved sleep. It's a difficult choice i tell you! Although the bed is calling louder and louder, and sounding sweeter and sweeter... especially since the cats seem hellbent on making me fall asleep with their purring and cuddling. It's their evil plan to conquer the planet by cuddliness I tell you!

Well, anyways. It's nearly dinnertime now so I have to go do the dishes and cook dinner first of all. *shuffling the cat of my lap* Having Chicken Crisps today. My lovely husband bought them last night for me to eat while writing the paper during the night, but I never got to eat them. So I'm going to have them for dinner instead. Lucky me. :)

School catching up to me... :(

It's really late. I'm about to get ready to go to bed. In the back of my head something is telling me to stop and think...then it dawns on me. I have a paper due tomorrow! So i rush around looking up the right information. Downloads the paper from the school website and opens a empty document on my computer. I check the due time, 12 hours 34 minutes left, ok... this I can do.... then I look at the assignment. It's based on an article. OK, so where is the article? Not in the booklet i bought at semester start... that's for sure... and not in a book I've got either. Oh no! I never bought it! They didn't have it yet when i bought the books for this semester, and I never went back to check if I had missed something! How incredible stupid of me!!!
*sitting down by the desk*
Oh my... what am I to do? I'm thinking of writing the alumnus to tell him what has happened, and hope for him to allow me to deliver it later this week.


On a lighter note:
I got a new vacuum cleaner today! Yeay! I have not been so exited about a house holding tool for ages. But just look at it! 

It's an Electrolux Ergorapido 2-in-1, and I absolutely LOVE it! I also had a visitor over today and I made Nasi Gorang, or fried rice, for dinner and got praises for it. And what house wife does not enjoy getting prais for a well done meal?

Anyways. Now I have to write that mail and hope for the best.
