Back to my usual Thursday ramble.

Today. Hectic day from the minute I decided to open my eyes. Consequence? I left the house half dressed, forgot my medication, forgot breakfast and forgot most importantly my specs which are currently sitting on my bedside table.

Anyways. Today is my last day of school for a while. Well until all my exams are over. Something that I can’t afford to screw up this time around which means study study study. At least I can now bend my head which is an improvement because before I couldn’t look down at my work ’cause it meant my sinuses hurt.

Last day of school isn’t very exciting. The only exciting thing to happen this morning was my economics teacher didn’t turn up for the lesson. Not good when it’s our last lesson with him! Anyways, the afternoon is looking up. Going for a coffee with a friend to meet an old friend, before having to dash home, drop my bags and dash off to the airport to say bye bye to dad. Wondering what’s up? He’s going to Sri Lanka tonight to see his mother. I got the whole lecture about how I can’t skip going to the airport and have to get my butt home before 4.30pm or there will be hell to pay. Knowing my mother. She will create hell for me. Therefore looks like tea will only be half an hour.

What else is there to say? Nothing much I guess. Per usual, I’ve got 15 minutes to kill before Cambridge school arrive. I’m helping with the library reading scheme ’cause I’m well known for my love of books. The only problem I have is the two children I’m working with only have an attention span of five minutes the most unless I make them read. Even then, I’m lucky if I get 10. They are the sweetest children. Quite loving, but at the end of the day, you have to remember they are special needs so you have to watch out how you treat them. If not then you could find your self in alot of trouble with them getting too close.

I’m exhausted. This day has only gotten half way through and I just want to sleep. I guess it’s because of the extra effort required to see the boards and stuff. Being short sighted and forgetting your glasses is a bad combination. Good thing though I can make it home without them. Did it before can do it again. :)

Update:

One of the children I was working with was at an athletics championship. Good luck to her. Hope she wins many medals. The other little boy I was working with is rather sweet but hates working. Could see it by the many excuses he tried on me. One being he needed the bathroom, then him trying to distract me with other things and the final one going “I don’t know” everytime I asked him a question. In the end it took me and three teachers to persuade him to read which was quite funny.

My friend didn’t turn up for coffee for she sent a text saying she had been sick on the train. We immediately told her to go back home instead of worrying about it. Went out for coffee with someone else instead.

Not going to the airport tonight. Got soaking wet on the way from school to the broadway via starbucks (2nd visit this week, might do a third tomorrow). Dad instead called one of his friends and asked for a lift because he didn’t want mum driving in such weather in her car on a route she’s not familiar with but I am very familiar with.

    Silly Shani for getting stuck in the rain. That couldn’t have helped your cold! N.B. Bring a brolly tomorrow if you’re coming with me to the lecture!

    Oh! Bad to drench again when you have cold. Carry an umbrella with you from now! :D

    If you have seen Kindergarten Cop, try implementing Arnold’s tactics on the kid! lol.

    Whose bathday is it btw? *points to Facebook pics*

    Btw, just noticed you’ve changed the title of your blog. I liked the old one - Dreaming the Dream - Following the Wolf… it added mystique.

    Just me though.. you know I love everything medievalistic! :lol:

  4. 4 Sha

    That was ages ago. Someone’s 18th birthday.

    Yes I know bad idea. I didn’t know it was going to rain in my defense!

  5. 5 ish

    That title has been changed for ages hasn’t it?

    Anyhow, I guess you’d end up becoming hydrophobic by the end of this month.

    I wish I could get stuck in the rain though. That’s better than throwing a lot of Potassium Permanganate & dilute Sulphuric Acid on yourself. Yea Yea, I did all that today in the chemistry practical. One of my fingers is still purple because the Pot. Permanganate is totally refusing to leave it. Silly titrations.

  6. 6 Sha

    Yes the title has been changed for ages. Surprised it took Ash this long to notice it lol. Guess we can now all see his powers of observation.

    I love the rain, and water, just as long as it’s not the ocean for some strange reason. Pretty to look at, not pretty to swim in.

    Ah yes. Titrations. That’s what I’ll be doing for two weeks this summer. Go me! Oh btw, be prepared to wait that Pot. Permanganate out. It will take a while.

  7. 7 ish

    Ah, I already managed to get it out. A couple of nice dettol handwashes and the pot. permanganate gets it’s backside kicked out of your hands.

    It was seriously dumb the way I got it on me though. Filled the burette beyond it’s capacity, and everything came out on me. Damn, even the funnel was lying on it and everything just fell on me. Glad I managed to keep everything from breaking though, otherwise I would have managed to get a 0. My chem. teacher hates me anyway so it’d have been most convenient for him.

    I get around 3 minutes each to view everybody’s blog [which is why there's a dearth of GW comments lately] in which I forget half the things to say. I’d noticed it ages ago as well [despite what I say above... it should've been just remembered lol] but forgot to ask/tell you everytime.

    You look sexy! :P *points to Meez avatar* [Now don't tell me you've had it for ages.. I don't let your sidebar load as it chokes my connection lol.] You got it from Photospace right? [Yeah I know Photobucket... but it being bought by MySpace...] The stupid Meez website doesn’t even load up on my connection.

  9. 9 Sha

    @Ash: Ah makes sense.

    Aww thanks at the Meez. Yes I do wear that to bed in the summer. And now people are gonna say too much information.

  10. 10 ish

    OMG, how come I didn’t notice the new Meezy!

    Like Ash said, it’s sexay. Btw, nobody’s saying too much information and what exactly do you wear to bed in summer? :P

    And what’s with that purple thing which looks like the red underwear superman wears over his suit? :P

  11. 11 Sha

    Lol. About the bed time thing. Not telling you now! My little secret.

    About the outfit. That’s the style. I have the exact same top in my wardrobe, except without the world spoiled on it.

  12. 12 ish

    Bleh, okay don’t tell me.

    AND OMG, that IP Address thing is SCARY cause it’s like so ACCURATE!

    And I thought my Internet Service Provider hides my ISP :|

  13. 13 ish

    Ah, I meant I thought my Internet Service Provider hides my IP Address.

  14. 14 Sha

    It’s not so accurate with me for it says my connection is in the states which it’s not.

  15. 15 ish

    Ah, you need to tell me how you got it there. That website is in what language, I don’t know

  16. 16 ish

    And looking at it now, it’s getting my IP Address wrong too. But atleast it gets the country, OS and Browser correct.

  17. 17 Sha

    I stole it from another blog. Might find something better though and stick that on instead once I get the chance.

  18. 18 Ashish C.

    LOL. I loved the old one btw, the one where it was typing on the laptop rather than the standing one I saw earlier on my phone this morning. [Can't see it now... timed out.]

    About the widget, you’ll never find such a plugin that would pinpoint your exact loaction or ip address unless you own the your own broadband pipe [which means the direct from the core.. your pipe must connect to every damn computer out there..] If not then your behind a NAT Overload.

    Most ISP’s rent ip’s from others.. mine shows a no country. Sha, you’re using AOL which is in America, so they must be assigning you an ip from the us of a. If you have a static IP its still bought or rented from some big ISP. lol.

    In short, those aren’t your real ips. If you still need something bonafide try getting a widget that shows real time info… these html thingys don’t work that good. [If all of this seems confusing just email me! :D]

    bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhhhhh…

    It’s showing me in Japan! [showed up India the first time correctly] lol. In the morning on my phone it showed norway! I’m truly international!

    God, I wish I was in Japan, I’d eat sushi all day! :P *knowing wink to Sha*

  20. 20 ish

    It’s getting me in India all the times atleast.

  21. 21 Sha

    That’s good. Better than mine
