a spot of bother...

I have finished a spot of bother.

I am utterly disappointed. Due to the first book, this book probably has a tad too much hype. There was no real twist in the book.

And for a story about a dysfunctional family the ending was surprisingly happy. Everyone is happy. No one broke up. Everyone was forgiven. Maybe that's the twist. A dysfunctional story about a family that is going to implode not imploding.

Disappointed.

seriously...

Seriously, I don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life. It seems like too long a time to do just one thing.

I tried to apply for NIE, but the website didn't seem to want to work., so I'm seriously wondering if that is a sign. A sign that teaching is not the way to go. I mean, teaching is the logical way to go. BUT, is it what I really want? That's not something that I can seriously say right now.

Seriously, what am I going to do with the rest of my life?

christmas cards...

I fell asleep, and missed Christmas eve service in the process. I'm still kinda sleepy. I realised that I might have written really weird Christmas cards today. Like random things that might not be considered Christmas-y.

I think I might be coming down with flu. Dang.

after 3pm...

Results are out. There were favorable. I am happy.

Thank God.

the 23rd of dec...

It's has been 5 days since my holidays started. And I think I'm not spending enough time at home. There are too many things going on and I seem to have to be somewhere all the time. I need some free time.

It's also exam results day. Starting to feel a tad queasy. 3pm feels so far away.

By the way, Bolt is quite a nice show.

in and out for the next 8 days...

Well, wishes do come true. I get to go home everyday. There is an IPPT tomolo though.

starts and ends...

Tomorrow army begins. Shouldn't be free till the 19th. I hope I get to go home on most days. I can hope.

officially jealous...

I hate missing annual camp. What's more, I hate missing out on the cruise. I seem to have missed more than just a cruise. I've missed an adventure, a chance to mingle with the kids, a chance to spend time with everyone. Kinda makes me feel kinda shitty.

Thinking about it. I could have made cruise. The main reason for missing cruise was the choice to take Research Workshop. Exams fell on the 3rd of December. But looking at it now, I could have made it, exams started at 1pm and ended at 3pm. I could have made it. Dang. But it would also have meant missing out on LIP. I'm not sure of I was ready to give up taking this module.

The opportunity cost of LIP seem to be too high. Results better come back great. Anything less would have been a wasted semester with a even worse end.

disppointment...

What could be so disappointing today? It's not that I didn't do well for Laz*ar paper today. I thought it went relatively well. It's the last paper too.

But what is disappointing is that Roy Keane is no longer manager of Sunderland. It is truly the beginning of the end. Crap is an understatement.

exams...

It's exams. I think. Wait. I'm quite certain it is. But the stuff that I'm doing seems to imply that holidays have all but started and (horrors of horrors) in full swing. I spent more time in town during the last week than most of the semester combined. I'm watching more television as well.

I watched hairspray while trying to study for SFG yesterday night. Notice I said I tried to study while watching hairspray and not tried to watch hairspray while studying. Yes. My priorities seems to need some kicking about.

But then again, I'm blogging about hairspray. And if you are confused why I was looking at a canister of hair product, I'm not. I am referring to the movie. And it was a great movie. Great and not just good. It's about race and how we all too often succumb to the pressures of expectations. It's great because they tell you that you don't need to. You can make your life the way you want it to be, be more than what people expect you to be.

John Travol*ta in a fat suit as a mothering sort was fresh. You can live your life the way that is outside convention. I'm doing my part by not being overtly concerned with exams.

Halfway through. 4 days to the end.
