16th may 2007Day thirty two.
5 degrees! wow you have so got to be kidding me, i told myself when she told me that the minimum degree reached the night before was 5 degrees. i seriously wonder how i actually managed to sleep through everything. i guess i was just too tired to actually shiver from the cold. i woke up this morning to another dawn of 15 degrees. i guess autumn is really passing on the baton to winter this coming mid may. officially in june, winter would start its race. and i dont know if i can survive in the cold winter days. here at 15 degrees and im shivering so badly already from the cold winds.
today was a long day. i finished school at 515pm. it was supposed to be at five but the econs lecturer just loves us too much that he always makes it his point to delay us 15 minutes later. 15 minutes to him may mean nothing to him (it might just be for him to wrap up on certain issues and key points taught) but 15 minutes to me is a lot. it means getting to catch the bus on time and not having to wait another 30 minutes for the next available bus. (this is perth, all buses operate in intervals of half an hour- no kidding.)
i had my chemistry marks back from the earlier test we did on monday. which i totally had to cramp in my brain 5 chapters of work in which only 3 chapters were tested. oh crap. but it helped i guess. i scored well. the highest was 38 out of 40. i got a 34 (the second highest) but hey it was only taken a small percentage of the marks so no biggy.
soon it'll be accounts and econs tests. aggh!
i finally understood how it feels like to be breathless under the stars that hang over you and at the same time shivering your guts out. ever seen titanic before, you know the way they breathe out in short breaths as though it was so difficult to breathe at all. well i had the same feeling when i was walking back. it was so cold that i had to take in short breaths. it sounded as though i was asmasthic. but sadly, since it was dark when i walked home, i couldnt see the water vapour that condensed right out of my mouth. my lips grew numb and i walked so fast back home. a ten minute walk mind you. i dont remember walking so fast in my whole life before. you know how i short person like me can actually take longer opened strides? well i did that and it hurts now.
