But I won't follow you into the rabbithole
I'm aware I haven't been religiously blogging entries - excerpts from whatever articles I'm reading online do not count - but much of what has happened lately's not been worth mentioning - well, 'cept for Zeus turning 1, and the groomers finding ticks on him. I'll bet every last doggy treat that he got it at the dog park. He's always lying on the grass, sigh. Apart from mum driving me up the wall and (making me) book appointments here and there (I'm like their PA now, talk about triple roles), I'm glad she's finally going for her medical check-up tomorrow. It's been a while since her last, and as much as I'm eagerly anticipating the (positive) results, I can only imagine how nervous she must be about it too. Was planning on going with her, but she picked the day I had an 8-hour lecture and night plans till 3. Good grief.
This was El Toro's before the paper last saturday. Told Eugene we should go someplace good before the paper cos we wouldn't be spending much time either way that weekend and, it would've been the perfect date had I not been in such a rush for the midterm. Like, food came at 18:32, paper at 19:00.. you get my drift. And it was pouring out... there was candlelight, ambient music and lighting, a really friendly maitre'd... oh wells. Did a little shopping post-paper cos he wanted to get Koi. I have never (and it'll probably stay that way) understood this bubble tea mania. It's 2,000 calories or so packed into a drink. I'll take a green tea latte over bubble tea, any day. Popped by Sophia's 21st after, but we didn't have time to dress to theme (picnic dresses + bring a soft toy). We'd alr planned on bringing Elmo! Also cos I'd wanted to meet Jojo :) Then it was a quick stop for supper w the River Boys at Simei SB + Simpang (while he went off for lan) and a good htht w Pres at our usual spot. Really loved the weekend. With the exception of the papers of course, what a downer.
Haven't been meeting the River Boys as much cos I feel like, I need this time to find myself again. And of course, to sort my priorities in order. It was heartwarming, seeing how some of the classmates have missed me today. I will pick myself back up and get back in there cos.. there really isn't any other option really. Just constantly pushing myself forward, reminding myself how little time I do have and what I still need to get done.
Sunday's prep wasn't as good. There was the groomers, then the attemtped studying.. but dad was super sweet. He made dinner so I'll have some before I left, gave me transport allowance (so rare) and they came to pick me up after my paper w Zeus, aww. Brought him around Boulevard Bayfront and he was super happy playing w the water! Still concerned w puppy training cos he tends to drag people along / nip at stranger sometimes. Sigh so unpredictable.
The CR assignments from the last time, mobile media tracking, the rss fieldwork and a comm report due by... Thursday. That on top of cleaning my room (lol, not a priority but.. I can't study when the room's a mess!), getting Pres' birthday present done + Eugene's Wallaby trip gift bag done by... Thursday as well. Then it'll all be a flurry of parties, birthday dinners, stay-ins, brunches, more parties.. and an entire weekend of wasteful (time) indulgence. Still a matter of opinion.
