we slept well last night. sleep of the dead. on my way in to class, wr caught up with me to tell me that he and his girlfriend just got back together - sweet news! and then the painful second-last class happened. two hours of summarizing and uncharitable questions and disappointing answers and misery. only one more, though!
our study session in the library turned me into a shocking (literally) teacher, but we did have cookies. everyone seemed to get things in the end - i hope it helped. then i went for lunch with pg, who detected an unusual amount of peas in her noodles. noodles shouldn't have peas, and her pea-to-noodle ratio was border on 50% :S
on the way out we ran into karnaf at the main gate, and i sarcastically wished him a happy new year - i don't get why he's been so difficult to talk to of late...
work was work, and after a couple of frustrating hours i got things untangled and am almost done. after discovering an unidentifiable purchase label on my credit card report last night, i was surprised today to receive an email from a company of the same name. i sent them a response asking them what it is they do and what they think i bought from them - i was certain that someone had snapped up my credit details and that i was in trouble.
a minute or two after sending the mail (having gone to their website to check, just in case) it suddenly occurred to me that this was the company in charge of promoting the marathon i signed up for - what kind of moronic "marketing" company doesn't think to be specific on a credit listing, or, for that matter, not send out a receipt for a purchase?
assholes.
on the bus home i continued to read olalla
- and i heartily advise not reading anything that might contain spoilers.i was standing and reading, and some asswipe came and stood right next to me. what made him an asswipe is that he was constantly switching things between pockets, and his elbow kept approaching my phone... eventually touching my hand, i politely asked him to keep his distance. what, am i invisible?! then, after getting off the bus without further incident i was walking on the right side of the sidewalk past an old man walking in the middle, when less than a two metres before me he veered left, almost smashing into me. i skipped sideways just in time - good thing i look at everyone i pass - and looked back to see him stopping and staring up, completely unaware that anything was amiss.
*sigh*
it's a sign of a lousy lecturer when students get excited to hear that they're ill and that the lessons are cancelled. our italian is out of commission, and i am *PLEASED*. i know i shouldn't be, i don't actually wish him ill but the readings for the next class are absurdly long and i really was desperate for a god to come out of the machine.
