Oooof.
I'm tired. I'm insanely tired. I thought the first week of school was hectic, but at least we didn't have tutorials then. Last week, I had a long weekend to look forward to and Knights of the Old Republic to finish. Today, just like the past two days, have been simply, utterly, life-draining.
I skipped three lectures this morning (the last one is about to finish as I type this) and unlike the times when I skipped lessons last semester, I spent this whole morning on my feet, in school, doing stuff I could have avoided.
But let me start from the beginning.
Due to an oversight not uncommon to me, I didn't book a function room for the weekly Mass in school early. When I tried to book it yesterday, it had been taken up by the school authorities to host a bunch of Korean visitors. I've therefore spent the whole of this morning trying to get through the red-tape of booking a lecture theatre instead. The funny thing is, of course, that this happened not once, but at least five times during my 18 months of being a clerk in NS, when I had to book the conference room for my boss. You'd think I would have learnt my lesson to book rooms early and avoid disappointment.
My only consolation right now is knowing that an LT has been booked. My new worry is that I have expended my Nokia 3210's battery (FOR THE LAST TIME) and I won't be able to receive any last minute notices. Oh well, ignorance is bliss, I hope.
Speaking of ignorance...
I've been strongly considering applying for the BioEngineering major before the next academic year. The promise of fulfilling one of my oldest dreams, one I dub the "Tony Stark Project", is a very tangible possibility right now. The course in BioEngineering will allow me to specialise in BioMechanics, and hopefully one day create a prosthetic that is more durable, effective and cheaper than the ones on the market today. Of course, at the rate I'm skipping lectures...
*sigh*
