This week is picking up

This week I have been so busy. It is draining physically and emotionally. I have been late to week whole week this week. Normally, I arrive at work around 8:10a.m., but lately, I get to the office or lab around 8:30a.m. I get to work later and later everyday! Really need to get up earlier and stop mucking around at home in the morning.
However, today I have been very organised. I have set out my day last night. Lay out the clothes and leave the house earlier. Finish the experiment that I am supposed to do around 10:00 a.m., and finish typing up the method around 11:00 a.m. I leave work straight away and drives up to university.
I am in luck. There's a parking space! Sometimes, I spend half an hour to find a parking space in university. Can you believe that? I had not had big troubles before because I started early in the university around 9 a.m., but now I get to university on random times so I need to find a parking space when other students leave. That's getting harder and harder through the year. More and more people are driving to university now.
The plan is to go to the bank and safe money, which I had no problem accomplishing. Then I buy a recharge card from the pharmacy, but they ran out of card so the lady gave me a docket. Someone complained to me about the docket because you get confused if you get two docket and don't know which one is new, and which one is old. >_< I hope that I won't run into that kind of situation.
Anyway, after all these errands, I go up to the departments to hand in a document. Turns out that I have to go to every science departments: Engineering, Math, and Chemistry. Can you believe that? Beauracrates. Paperwork. I hate paperwork, but it has to be done. That's not too bad. All the secretaries are nice enough. The whole thing doesn't take that long.
I collect the lab answers from the lab, but the lab book with methods are not photocopied yet. Forgot to heat up lunch and by the time I get to the cafe, I discover that I also forgot to fill up my drink bottle so I don't have any water!!! What....the....
Okay.
But everything picks up from there. I sit by myself and eat my lunch and my friends come to me to ask me questions(!) That's not too bad because they didn't ask really hard questions. Heat up lunch in the international students room's microwave. Goodie.
Then, M comes into the room and sits with his friends. He then comes to sit with me.
All the other things are history, I guess. It's enough to be with him for 1 hour in a week. I am so happy. Thank you so much, M. I know that I can't tell you how I feel about you because we just can't be together, but I wish that you are happy, too. I wish that I have brighten your day up as well. That's enough for me.

When the future is hazy

When the future is hazy, having a meeting with my supervisor helps so much. I don't know where my head has gone, but now everything is back on track. I feel so much better and more organised. I also feel more confident about where I am supposed to go. Everything is under control again. Experiments and result summarising are planned for next month. I will be extra busy, but busy is good. Doing nothing is very worrisome.
I just have to make sure this gas exposure experiment works. If it doesn't, there is not much point in running more experiments. Fingers crossed that it will inhibit the bacterial growth.
Went to lunch in city but it was not delicious at all. Everything tastes bad because am not feeling very happy. Too many reasons, but I just miss the life that I had before. Carefree and happy, without a care in the world. Well, but at least I have a direction at work now. Everything will be fine.
Something to look forward to tonight. It is Wednesday and Grey's Anatomy and Numb3rs are on. I will be able to practice cello today after work as well. However, a part of me will still be worrying for that certain someone who is lost and wishing that someone will be able to find the way home. We will be waiting for you patiently. No matter what happened, we don't care about the past and only cares for what lies ahead of you.

Daredevil

Watched Daredevil last night. There are some moments in the movie that were really moving and well done, and some moments just not worth watching. It would be interesting to read the original comic, but I think Elecktra really died too early!
The rain scene was so beautiful...love it.
This morning is almost like winter again. It is hard to believe that now is spring. Well...okay, it is the end of winter so we will have to take the cold and the fog that comes with it. Just wish spring will come soon.
Dad's car can't be started so I will have to call for transport. Wonder what will happen to the car when he goes travelling? Just hope that it will not give us too much trouble. He taught me how to start the car yesterday as well. Have to wait until the coil light dims.

Two fine days

The weather is relatively fine this weekend. I went inline skating for the second time in the park. I could manage to skate without holding onto the railing. It's a great feeling! Found out that it is harder to skate on a smooth surface because it is very slippery.
Walked around the river on the way back to get exercise. The bamboo around the river had been cut back and tidied up.
Saturday evening All Black met the Wallabies for the Tri-Nations tournament for the first time. Won the game! However, Dan Carter was injured in the game and we would know the situation better today or tomorrow. Looked very painful.
The movie wasn't very interesting so we rested early. Sunday's weather is even better. I stayed home and practiced cello when Mrs. L came to visit. They brought gooseberry plants and chilli for mum. We talked about cutting open the big pumpkin, but that will require a lot of organisation on cooking or giving some away.
Finished reading Midnight in Marrakesh. It is a good translated novel. The story is quite well written and set in different countries. However, some words are still lost in translation.
Watched Maid in Manhattan. J.Lo and Ralph Finnes were okay, but just didn't have that chemistry!! The boy and the concierge were great, though.
