A string of totally irrelevant thoughts

Goin back to school is like not going back to school... yet. Things are just coming in and with the mere 4 compared to the past 7 or 8 modules that we had to take, it really seems more like a slack year, although we did just find out that we have to churn out 11000 words for a certain module.

Hard to get back in schooling mode, esp with the timetable that's given. 4 day week, and with 2 hours in the morning for Thur and Fri. Kinda like schling part-time in fact. Which is good I guess, cos that means I can take on more tuition jobs, seeing as how the tutee that terminated my services before then hired has fired me again. Gee. Recession sucks.

Cutting back in our own way - sacrificing TV time or choices rather. Bye bye cable. I'll miss Star Chinese Movies and Starworld the most. Upside is that the immense amount of time I've spent on watching TV can then be spent on something more meaningful. Like blogging. Hah.

It's been a slow sluggish start this year. Not just in terms of the economy, but in terms of my willingness to do things and be enthu about anything. Not for my dogs though it seems. They're happily pouncing on one another and yelping. Perhaps it's cos of my sluggishness = lack of walking them = them being more hyper. Hmmm makes sense.

I wanna watch Marley and Me. Am currently re-reading the book for fun's sake.

Oh, and did I mention that my attention span is equatable to that of a fly now? I find myself staring at lecturers and looking attentive but my mind blanks out and irrelevant thoughts appear. Kinda like this blog entry actually.

I used to be able to listen to songs and pay attention to the lyrics and the beats. Now, music is just background noise to me. As much as I try and pay attention, my mind drifts to something else totally random. So how could I be expected to pay attention in class, rite?

I always seem to be regretting something at some point in time. Even whilst looking at Facebook photos posted by others. All the holiday pictures. Damn, why didn't I take up an interest in medicine or law when I was a child? Then I'd be rich enough to travel all I want.

Ok, I think it's pretty apparent. I'm bored.
