we STILL don't have a hub, so I still have to wait till the next day to update the site. this is really annoying. apparently we'll get it on sunday, but let's just say i'm not holding my breath.

*** yesterday ***

i almost got nothing done yesterday! i woke up around 10.30, put my washing in the machine, and went back to sleep.

i got up around 13.00, took out my washing, got on my (roller)blades and got to university around 13.30. around half an hour late for class. whoops.

apparently it was a really stupid class. as i got there, people were leaving due to extreme boredom and a severe lack of english (not all the teachers to speak can really of).

yesterday was student's day (day of the student, to be precise), so all sorts of stalls were being prepared for the night events. and they had a boxing ring set up. so one of the guys in our class does aikido (i'm not even THINKING of spelling that correctly), and we decided to have a fight.

the problem with fightnig taekwondo vs. aikido, is that taekwondo is basically kicking. aikido is fundamentally "take what my opponent throws at me and turn it against him". however, even though he may have beaten me, i managed to get 2 / 3 kicks in! so i'm not so bad...

i had lunch, and then went to a friend's place to get my copy of animatrix. now i've only seen the first twenty or so minutes of it, but it is WAY cool - i'm definitely glad i'm watching it before reloaded comes out here.

i then went to this girl i've been trying to teach. she got stuck on really stupid things - i got quite upset. it's just that it would be nice if she'd at least try to do it herself, but she basically gave up before she started. i managed to keep myself in check, as anything i said without thinking was destined to come out as "you're an asshole". although, as my mom says, assholes are useful things.

it was off to the student's day.

i put myself in a draw for a ticket to london.
i hope that goes well.
i'm SURE there's a chance i'll win.

there really wasn't much to do there. the first band was called dag nachash ("snakefish" - ch as in g in goedkoop). they were pretty good, became really funky towards the end.

and that was about the extent of the entertainment. i hung around for a bit, and then decided i was horribly bored and went home. even the masses of pretty girls couldn't keep me interested. and there were some INCREDIBLE girls/outfits running around.

*** today ***

getting up today has been a nightmare, something's wrong and i have no idea what. i'm just on a serious downer. i don't feel like i have anything to do (obviously studying's never on my list of priorities), and i'm dreading leaving the apartment to go shopping, and finding out how much money i don't have in the bank.
