Panthera Sapiens Ellipsis: The Blog

My bag hath my schedule; I shall not be in tardiness. It maketh me to lie down in my nice warm bed: it leadeth me to procrastinate. It destroyeth my determination: it leadeth me in the paths of deep snoring for my beauty sleep's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of tardiness, I will fear no deadlines: for it is near me; my timetable and my clock they comfort me. It preparest a calendar before me in the presence of mine in-box: it places responsibilities on my head; my plate runneth over. Surely tiredness and headaches shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in mounds of paperwork forever. If you want to see the actual, non-parodied psalm, go to BibleGateway.com and look up Psalm 23 in the King James Version--but you'll probably only want to do that for context. At the moment, a couple days in bed is terribly appealing, and I'd seriously consider it if it weren't for the fact that I have school and myriad other things to be done, spanning a wi

With the A2 in a little over three weeks away, you'd think I would've started studying in earnest already. Apparently, however, I have refined my ability to procrastinate to a whole new level, because even my roommate and his classmates (my juniors by one semester) have begun to marvel at the sight of me not studying. It seems they think I'm able to pass with flying colours even without studying, which means that they've made me into some kind of impromptu tutor, especially Smooth: he seems to come into my room anytime he wants with some Applied Math question or other. So far I've been able to solve them, which only propagates the myth. In any case, I haven't done any revision apart from what the teachers are doing: past-year questions, but nothing extra of my own. I think the Chemistry lecturer has finally given up on asking me for answers, because I've never been able to provide any. What I have been doing is gadding about with ex-classmates and watching m

I'm just very worried about some personal matters at the moment. I don't know how they came about, I don't know what to do about them, and I don't even know if they're going to be permanent or if it's just a phase I'm going through again. What do you do when everything's pointing in different directions? It's difficult to make any decisions in this state. I can't even concentrate on studying--not that I did anyway. I'd say I want advice, except I've already given myself plenty of that and it's not really helping me much. Everything is blurry. I don't like it. I don't like it at all. Hopefully it'll all clear up sometime and I'll wonder what I was worrying about, but at the moment it just doesn't seem so. It's not at all nice. It's very worrying, that's all I can describe it as. As you probably already have read, I'm supposed to be writing a theme song for the church camp at the end of the year, whic

Life is simply impossible at times...or maybe it's just that the emotional wave on my biorhythm has plunged down at the moment. I don't know whether these weird pseudoscience things actually have any basis, but it gives me a good excuse to blame everything on. Or maybe it's just my own mental homeostatic reaction: after a prolonged period of happiness, then a prolonged period of gloom and destructivity. I find I tend to sink into these phases every two or three days after any particularly enjoyable occasion: church camps and holidays are an example. Birthdays also. One of the better examples would be after the post-SPM prom night. I don't know. All I can say is that I'm suddenly over-reacting to everything. And yes, I know I'm over-reacting. I just don't notice it until, I don't know, until after I've over-reacted or something. Like yesterday during captain's-ball. Well, I play the game less for exercise than for the opportunity to chitchat a lit

You can probably tell from the title that I watched one of my very few horror/blood/gore movies yesterday (the only others I've seen are Sleepy Hollow and the Kill Bill movies), with Cheeky and the rest of the gang excluding Thunder Flower and the Hanky, who were celebrating the end of the recent trials with their boyfriends. We were celebrating too, but not with our boy/girlfriends. Well, Serene brought hers along for the movie, but I treated them as mostly invisible since I don't really approve of public displays of affection. At least, not within my range of vision: and Serene (for the few seconds that I looked at them) was quite inextricable from her boyfriend. Perhaps I exaggerate a little, since a little while later they were both carrying Cokes, or maybe they put on the show for my benefit. I don't think I want to know. Anyway, I shall now review the movie (Cheeky got this first-hand, since he was sitting beside me and so he was the victim of my motormouth: I tried t

I'm in the comp lab now and had nothing to do except delete a bunch of MIDI files I put on my mp3 when I mistakenly assumed they were playable (they aren't). Anyway, so I took another bunch of tests.
