.mojos at work.
first off i'd like to give a HUGE thank you to my cousin over in egypt, who's so graciously given me a 'thinking blog award'. never did i think my writings were anything more, to anyone, than just random ramblings of my bipolar self ;p but thank you nonetheless for showing me that this blog possesses more meaning and purpose than just that of a venting station ;p (and the fact that i worry you're 35-yr-old brain scares me! ;p)
anyway... back to my cosmic intervention of a day...
put simply, my day hasn't ended! i seemed to have overestimated my ability to write my final 'family studies' essay and ended up pulling an all nighter... LITERALLY! you know how people always SAY they pulled an all nighter, but in truth managed to sneak an hour or two of sleeps in it. well ladies and gentlemen, i'm running on pure sugar right now. i sat at the comp when the sun was still up. then the sun went down. and before i knew it the sun was back up again ;p so i dragged myself off the dining room chair that had by 6 this morning become an attachment to my posterior region, and threw myself into the shower for school.
let me say now, that in all my years of dabbling in the complex and twisted world of bullshit writing... the essay i conjured up last night was probably one of the worst. to describe the many levels to which i'm disappointed with that essay would take another assignment... but time had done it's magic and i just couldn't string words together to form sophisticated enough sentences for tertiary comprehension. basically it sounded like a kid from kindergarten stole my assignment and started drooling on it! sigh... but hopefully the mojos will be on my side with this one (and the one i submitted yesterday!) and bless me with a presentable enough grade to walk through the golden gates at melbourne uni (though i can just hear jacq and mark asking me to take that sentence back ;p)
ANYWAY....
yeah... as i was saying, the mojos were on massive overdrive today. after 2 weeks of abstaining from my horrendous nail-biting habit, last night's anxiety put me back at square one all over again :( in fact, more like square minus 2... i went on a rampage yesterday! so bad that typing this post right now is causing my mildly bleeding fingers some pain :( the whole time i was like... what are you doing?! stop it! so there's hope for me yet i think :D... THAT was sign number one!
after rushing out of the house, i attempted to make my daily jay-walking routine to the tram stop on the other side of the road. as usual, i looked left to see how far away my tram was. but today, what did i see? fire engines... 3 of them. and a police car. sirens going off everywhere. one of the power cables hanging overhead for the trams to hook on to had dislodged... RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY APARTMENT. desperately i continued to stare down my oncoming tram, hoping that it would disregard the disruption (which was in the opposite lane!) and come pick me up. instead i saw people filing out of the tram at toorak road and the tram started back the way it came. all trams running along chapel AND church streets were suspended for now.
now usually that wouldn't bother me.... except for one tiny detail... HOW THE HELL WAS I GOING TO GET TO SCHOOL?! DID I ALSO MENTION I HAD AN ASSIGNMENT THAT WAS DUE FOR SUBMISSION IN 5 HOURS?! i entertained the fleeting thought of climbing back into bed and sleeping till next week for about 3 seconds and realised that i HAD to get to burwood one way or another. so i hiked to the atm, cashed out the money i needed to buy my new monthly... hopped on the tram to south yarra train station... took the city loop train to richmond station... switched to the alamein train... got off at east richmond station... only to realise that i'd made a HUGE mistake cause the station is *drumroll* positioned on church st...i ignored all the people staring down church street for the missing tram, and i walked from the corner of church and swan street to bridge road.... got on the vermont south tram and arrived on campus 15 minutes after my first lecture ended.
mojos in cosmic sync or what?!
hehehe... well one cup of yougurt and a chocolate and blueberry muffin later, i'm sitting in deakin's internet cafe killing the 3 hours i have till my next class. despite my disappoint at the essays i've submitted, i'm ecstatic that freedom has come knocking again till the exams in june. and with mom and hafiz coming in about a month, things are looking up ;) it's like mom says... when you fall right to the bottom... the only place you have left to go is up anyway ;p
till my next post... have fun like it's your last day on earth... and eat enough chocolate to make you WISH it was :D
hug hug everybody!
