Greetings dear reader.

A few things to note today, bit like a diary entry, which m' not too good at but here goes:

Yesterday was a bad day. Woke up at 10:25. Had a lecture at 10:00. Had a lab report due that lecture. Did not have breakfast. Did not have shower. (Did have cleaned teeth) Did make it to lecture at 10:40, record time. Did manage to hand in lab report. Did get out paper and pens to copy notes. Lecture did finish five minutes early (at 10:45 AM). Did not get any notes down.

Following that lecture, was another lecture, and following that was lunch. Very hungry. But needed to go shopping at supermarket on the way home. Managed to master willpower and not buy lunch. Needed, and bought new shampoo/conditioner. Pantene V05 marked down significantly, so bought two bottles of each. Bought stuff. Returned to flat to discover had payed full normal price for conditioners. Felt ripped off, and purposed to tally reciepts at supermarket in future. Had a small amount of lunch.

At 2:00 PM had a zoology lab. Fun but long. Got back 8% lab report and essay. Did OK in essay. Forsome reason, you are expected to put a reference behind every last statement (shudder), which to my poor researching skills is a nightmare. Got thoroughly shafted in the lab report. Am currently very annoyed at the zoology markers. Put much more effort into that lab report than the first one, and was rewarded with 10% lower mark. Vowed never to do zoology again (not verbally, so it isnt binding).

Today.

Have the motherload lab report for CHEM 203 due tomorrow, but was moved back to friday due to 'unforseen circumstances'. Very handy for me. Had only 25% of it done as of currently, and it was going to be a sqeeze to fit it in tonight. Also, interestingly, have an Elder's visit scheduled for tonight, and was afraid I was going to have to flag it. But now, i'm thinking, it is not so much a problem. The announcement was made during a CHEM 203 lecture. Following the announcement, i engaged meself in a silent period of rejoicement (seated victory dance inclusive).

Had lunch. Not to nice. But an odd thing happened, one of my lab demonstrators from one of the papers i did last semester happened by, and greeted me by name. Then it occured to me how disturbing it is when you move from being some random number student at Otago to being someone with a name. And yet, you are still someone less than yourself. This thought occasioned much shudder and it was decided to blend into the background more at labs. Added camoflagued lab-coat to list of things to buy.

Hmm.
1:21 PM,
got half an hour before next lab, might do some work, thenagain might not.




Feel contentment slide down the mud-chocked gutter drain
Packed like sardines huddling inside from the rain
It could all seem so clear
But you went and threw it all away

Take a boatride, Steaming out across the bay
Gag the pills down, but you cannot stop the pain
You claim it's so unfair
And everything's a darker shade of grey

Feel her wolf-eyes searing hollows in your brain
You broke your promise, and she's not coming back again
It's not like yesterday
When everything was bright and daylight plain.
