Journal

Better today I’m sure.

Closure

The week slowly draws to a close. (Yeah, sure, it’s only Wednesday.) Projects, tests, et cetera, all going by in the blink of an eye. Still got a presentation tomorrow to prepare for, but that’s all the fight the week has left.

Wasn’t too long ago it was Week 1 and it was all work and no play. It’s been a pretty interesting semester, if nothing else, and I’m actually a little relieved to be at the end of it.

Distractions

It is with much embarrassment that I tell you about my waterbottle accident yesterday. While filling a waterbottle for my friend yesterday, I got rather distracted and for some reason thought it was a good idea to switch over to hot water. That wasn’t such a bad idea except for the fact that the bottle was metal. Realising the error in my ways far too late, I shifted my hand away in a reflex action that caused my left index finger to be slightly scalded.

Hey, could’ve been worse, but you know, think before you do things, no matter how distracted you are. Just in case anyone else wants to lose an index finger too.

(And no, it’s kind of all right now.)

Budget

Yesterday, my dad’s birthday present arrived, a black, supposedly limited edition Crumpler to replace his old one. It reminded me of how much I’ve been spending recently.

My Decemberists record hasn’t arrived (and if it still doesn’t arrive, I’m going to have to check it out). I also bought a few books, and these have set me back quite a bit already. I had the intention of buying a couple of games, but that has since dropped to just one game, which I suppose makes my wallet feel a bit better.

Still, all things considered, not doing too badly. It’ll also depend on how the holidays pan out…

Doctor Who Things

If I said I was going to write about chipmunks, I’d spend the next six months being made president of the Chipmunks Society and would have chipmunks turning up at my door, saying, “Can we have work?”
