What have you discovered today? Nothing!

It hasn't been a very tiring week. But it hasn't been a very good week either.

I spent an hour today undecided between writing my thesis, calling the travel agents, fiddling with my camera, or continuing the hunt for cheap lodgings.

In the end, I chose to call the travel agent, and spent an hour undecided between 2 airlines, each with their pros and cons. There are just too many assumptions and imaginary money built into this internship, and I feel like giving it up altogether and return to my simple existence of writing, sleeping and watching discovery channel.

Multitasking is just not my kind of thing.

Low on fuel

Been an interesting week. But I'm rather tired now. Think I'll wake up early to complete the slides...

A lot of things to settle between now and then. I'm not sure if everything will work out. But will try my best. Praise God :)

Enlightened... but Seriously?

























I like to dwell in (photocopied) books. They provide artificial brief respites from the fetters of my humdrum existence. But it's terrible when Saturday feels like a Monday, and Monday comes after Sunday. And Sunday is not exactly Sabbath. Time to go to the library...
