Uggh, worst luck ever today.

Woke up late (well on the dot of first lesson actually). First time ever to be late for anything since school began. Didn't manage to get any breakfast in the rush. So there I was, hungry and ill, (body) engine cold-starting (never a good thing), I thought it couldn't get any worse.

Second lesson. HoI tutorial. Got sent out of the class, not because I was late, not because I didn't do my homework, but because I was ill. Apparently my tutor had a lung removed after 2 separate incidents of pneumonia, and he wasn't going to take any chances. Hm, the stuff you learn each day.

No lunch for me, baby. Went for this philosophical talk conducted by my HoI tutor and this other fine gent in this exquisitely furnished common room on campus. The topic was "What counts as a good life?", and it really gave me some food for thought. The experience was enriching, even though I couldn't, and wasn't in any shape to participate in the discussion, having to sit in the "outer ring" of seats while the seats infront were scarcely occupied by the handful of people who turned up, 2 tutors and 2 other students. [Note: I was the only Asian in there. Oooh minority...] I could get used to this actually, feeding my mind, not my face.

So I gues that was a sure sign that the bad luck had run its course. Got back my math [practice] exam today. 97%! Lost 3% to stupid little mistakes, but it's all good. And I got my monologue list too. What to choose... Decisions, decisions.

So it was time to prepare dinner, when suddenly, the darkness rears its ugly head again! Okay, so I just burnt my pork chop, no biggie, the meat's still edible.

And with that I leave you with a funny shot that I took earlier this day that adequately expressed my emotions at that time:

[P.S. For those who think that I don't take enough scenery shots, here's some springtime for you.]
