Not through violence, but through the word alone

Back to being-

Zoned out, mentally exhausted, stressed to the bone. This is the way life at Uni is. I just don't understand it. I'm taking less classes than the previous semester but I feel as tired as I used to be after doing homework...

I've just finished a piece of reading on Civil and Public Religion and I'm seeing letters jumping in front of my eyes as I would imagine how jumping beans could. Basically... I'm tired. Reading about abstract concepts take so much out of me... Then again I'm thankful not to be under Science stream anymore, which would've probably knocked me out cold already.

I have some pretty weird classes tomorrow... and need to be fully awake... so I have to haul myself to bed now... bed... oh my futon. You look so inviting.

The topic for tomorrow...

For Irish Studies seminar tomorrow, we'll be discussing... Vikings! Haha...

Also last week, me and Liliana had a 'skirt party' ^_^ where we (plus Aurelie and Mio) would go to class with skirts... hahahahaha (some of our friends were so surprised... it was hard to see any of us foreign students in anything other than jeans and then - that day we were all in skirts! hahaha~

This week's theme is white blouse and blue jeans ^_^ Come to think of it, Liliana and I were even color coded today - she was wearing a khaki jacket and blue jeans. I was wearing khaki coloured jeans and a denim jacket. Hahaha... weird... this proves it. We have nothing else to do for fun around here =_=

Well... I guess it's alright to act like this once in a while.

The weather's been just fantastic lately. Blue skies, warm sun, refreshing breezes. I just love Autumn ^_^

Selamat Hari Raya

I'm haunted with memories of the good food found back home... ... ... ... *tears* Somebody cook for me.................

Anyway, that said, actually, I had first period this morning (=_=) So I was half awake the entire time during Practical InfoTech class. Then after (finally!) the coffee I drank had kicked in, but that was a class about the Earth and the Planets (seriously, that is the name for the subject)... which was utterly boring and I couldn't catch a single thing because the teacher was muttering/mumbling the entiiiiire time.

Then it was lunch time which was nice because we ate outside and it was so nice and cool and breezy and a friend had managed to grab one of the tables in a shaded area. It was great. I saw my French teacher Mr. Delerue (sp?) and half-accidently (?) waved him down since he was looking for a table anyway. There went my listening practise... I couldn't catch a single word thrown between him and Aurelie and Liliana. It was utterly terrifying... but anyway, I know now how far I'll have to work to attain a suitable level to be able to understand conversational French.

So... guess what I spent the rest of my afternoon on? ...French homework. Oh I did 'em alright. Aurelie was not 3 metres away the entire time so there you go, my portable french dictionary. Okay. I'm going to need a portable spell-checker soon too, since I nearly spelt dictionary as "dictionaire". French is making me dyslexic.

After the French homework was... what-ho! French Class which was from 5 to 6.30 ... ... ... what sane person takes classes at those times, really? ...Anyway. It was fun. There was this one episode in class when the teacher was doing roll call and he was calling my name out... only he was calling out "Fairuz-san" so I was completely not paying attention. A friend of mine poked me on the side before I could recognise that he was calling me ... =__= Well! No one's ever tried to call me Fairuz-san before so! (After that he went and asked if he should have called me "Latif-san" instead and I just went "NO!" *o* that was close.....) Everybody calls me Najee/Najee-san nowadays that one somebody starts calling me Naj (or anything else) again, I feel really really weird.


Anyway. That was my day today/yesterday. Anyhows it's one minute past midnight and I need to haul myself to bed. I have American Studies tomorrow... Ya Allah, berikanlah saya kesabaran dan keberanian untuk duduk dalam kelas itu.

I hope y'all had a great day! I need to put my brain to rest a few hours ^__^ Hopefully, I'll be able to spell words without concentrating as much as I am now by tomorrow. Later~ Health, Peace and Love to you all!
