My First Real "Sunday"
I'm going to seriously try and write at least one entry a day! It's already almost halfway through the semester and what do I have to show for it?? Sigh! It's all passing much too fast.
Today, I:
1. Had no class
2. Woke up naked
3. Watched too much TV
4. Was a waste of life
Let me elaborate! Well, I had no class...this lead to being a waste of life. Let me back up; I'm trying to get into a better regime to take care of my body so that it will help with my mental health, too...look good, feel good, right? Anyways, so I bought all this lotion and sunscreen, etc. After my shower last night, I applied my new lotion and waited for it to dry (I don't like putting on clothes when I'm all wierd-feeling with the lotion.). In the process of waiting, I fell alseep. The next thing I know, I wake up and my door is WIDE OPEN. How??? I usually lock my door, but I guess I forgot last night. So I grab my blankets around me to try and shuffle my way to close the door. I really hope no one noticed because then that would be really bad.
People in Singapore seem to be really conservative. For example: it's so hot in Singapore that by the end of the day, I just want to shower off all the stickiness. So I do what I thought was normal for dorm life: I wrapped a towel around me and walked to the showers with my basket full of soaps. Apparently, this is considered really scandalous. x_X
Anyways, I've been having a hard time sleeping these past few weeks...I don't really know why. So this leads me to sleep late, wake late and miss breakfast. So today I just ate food with Irvin and Jeff, came back, watched 8th and Ocean on YouTube, went to Tea at 4:30, watched more 8th and Ocean, went to dinner at 7:30, and then watched Tokyo Drift with the boys in my room. I did no reading, nor did I start my term paper. Ahh!
I = waste of life. But it was really nice because it was like the first Sunday-like day that I've had since being in Singapore. During the weekdays I have class and outings at night. That and the fact that I'm always gone traveling on the weekends never really allows me a chance to catch my breath and rest.
This will be the second weekend that I've stayed in Singapore; the first time was the first weekendweek the program started. There's a lanturn festival tomorrow and we get to eat mooncake! They're so expensive! Anyways, I should read...pfft, I've been saying that all day; I'm going to chat online. =D
This is my room wall that I've been trying to cover. You can barely see my bed, but I don't want to touch the walls when I sleep. I had to scrub these walls, foreal!
I even cut out little designs for my wall! Procrastination to the max!
Do you see how shitty this part of the wall is?? Missing paint and three random mirrors left by the person (I'm guessing a girl) before me. Oh, and I put a random Prada ad I tore out of a magazine over the worst part of the wall. The walls were so brown when I scrubbed them down!
This is a poster for some club event. They have a bunch of parties at the beginning ofthe year, naturally. These guys are jocks, I think. I think these guys are supposed to represent the hottest of the jocks. Do you see NOW why I'm so disappointed with the men here??
