"The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next."
-Ursula K. LeGuin

I hope you're right, Madame LeGuin; because my life right now and for the next ten days is and will be just one under-skin maelstrom of permanent, intolerable uncertainty!
...It's finally Friday. Finally finally finally.
Last night ended on a note of heads on tables, dark hair streaming, and plates and jars of jam and spreads and forks being pushed aside roughly. inexplicable tears.
"you're tired. you're overreacting"
"...no I'm not!" cue fleeing outside to the night garden to behind the big family car and leaning my forehead against the cool stillness of the metal license plate.
But it's all right now.
People around me are treading carefully.
I say lesson well learnt.
Things I have done today:
1) ASEAN Position Paper on N.Korea's Rich-Poor Divide
2) My part for the GPP
3) fumbled over Sequences and Series
4) Will complete Econs Case Study 5 later on
5) A paragraph of the letter to Lt J. Rolleston
6) Will complete said letter later on at the club.
Am currently compiling a "Roadtrip!!!" playlist for Amrit and Lisa since our AirAsia venture was a serious fiasco and I am betting that our Australia adventure/vacation in Rio/Egypt/Mars, whatever, does it even make a difference? - will not be becoming a reality anytime soon.
Oh, and this is my current ear candy.
Escapism FTW.
boondocks, baby, hardknock kids.
...See; THOSE are the kind of people who'll have what it takes to survive in the real world.
Not pampered, spoon-fed kids who come home everyday to a hand-prepared meal of three dishes and Brand's Essence of Chicken and a steady weaned diet of Andrew Er and Learning Lab tuition courses.
