*** yesterday ***

i woke up around noon, did stuff, then went back to sleep. at around 14.00, grootbek accompanied me to the bank, and had his card chewed by the atm.
that was funny.
but not THAT funny. it's just a typical thing that happens here. they don't just give you a message saying "insufficient funds", they just take your card. and then his personal banker screamed at him when he told her he was upset.
very professional.

i actually can't remember what i did all day, aside from sleeping here and there. i still had the headache - the sleep didn't help. and i didn't have the energy, or the attention span, to do any homework.

for supper, i had a really strange idea, and i made a sauce for my spaghetti, frying baked-beans in tomato sauce, and green beans, together. it tasted really, really good.
we won't talk about flatulence till later.

i took the bus to work, and had to stand the whole way.
crap.

after i got to work, sammy and i went off to play pool. well, snooker. we both sucked. i ate lots of pretzels.

*** today ***

work this morning was actually quite pleasant! no bitchy calls (not to me, at any rate), and we spent most of the time talking, playing games, and doing homework.

and nobody noticed me 'n my gas. yay!

i'm now sitting on a spare system, quietly doing my assignments until 05.30, when i'm probably going to get a ride home. and then, it's time to start a brand new day!
i feel better now.

*** later ***

i got home around 7am, and had a shower. i slept for 45 minutes, and somehow managed to drag myself out of bed. after three failed attempts at leaving the apartment (i was completely broken and exhausted, and my vision and hearing were marginally impaired), i made it to class with barely a minute to spare.

thank you, coffee. i love you.

i spent most of the day in class, alert because i absolutely had to be. i finally managed to get the ball rolling on our main project, so i'm kind of proud of myself.
i basically had an hour to do the algorithms homework - and the last question was exceptionally nasty. i was in a daze, while a friend of mine was trying to explain some crazy shit to me, and i only got about half of it sorted out before i had to hand it in...

the tutor for our communications and networks course told me that the work i did for the upcoming assignment is just fine. suits me, it gave me something to do this morning.
i am now the proud owner of what has to be the ugliest and most annoying website ever made.

it's now 19.40 - i've just gotten home, and i'm about to do my maths homework before crashing. otherwise, it's never going to happen.

oh, right. and i discovered today that grootbek's been stealing my food from my cupboard. fucking prick - the worst thing is he's the one in the apartment with the rich fucking parents. fuck. i hate him, i really do.
