Panthera Sapiens Ellipsis: The Blog

"School starts again tomorrow"--that was what, 19 days ago? I've been lax, haven't I? but I've also been busy, busy, there's so much to be done and so much more to plan for--these are times when there isn't time to do much but keep on doing, doing, doing until one falls over into bed and cannot even reminisce over the day that has just past before tiredness claims one's consciousness. Admittedly I'm exaggerating, just a little bit, but then-- This, I warn you, will be a long post. 19 days is three weeks--or very nearly so--and with the hectic nature of these past weeks, I have many, many events to record. In fact I probably have few events to record, but I'll be going into them with my customary amount of detail, which will simply fluff them up all the more. Thus--we begin with the first day of school, on which I had only two hours of classes because the labs and tutorials don't start until the second week of school, at least; this semester...

School starts again tomorrow--it feels sometimes as if my whole life has been a long series of repetitions of schools restarting. This blog certainly has had a lot of schools restarting in it--considering I've been in school for quite awhile, that's understandable. And with two semesters a year, you'd think I'd get used to having school restart and end by now; but I haven't. It's still change, however expected, and will still take some readjusting to. I spent pretty much most of the weekend with family: most of Saturday and nearly all of Sunday. But I'm getting ahead of myself--there's at least 2 days undocumented between the last post and Saturday, so I shall get to them. Let me see. The last post was Wednesday, the day on which Herr Robson moved out of the hostel where he'd been squatting and into the room which he is currently renting, outside the campus; it costs him about SGD260 a month, and is a rather cramped little space--not at all to my lik...

It is fourteen days since my last post, so I'll start this one off by wishing the Empress a happy 21st--I hope it turns out better for her than it did for me, and I expect it probably will too: I've already completely forgotten how my 21st birthday went. (I just spent a few minutes reading how it went. Apparently nothing at all occurred.) ...well, then, let's see. 14 days, two weeks; what's happened in that two weeks? A great deal, I must say. This post is going to be a rather long one, so I might as well type it today since the rest of this week promises to be rather less than refreshing. I returned to Spore last July the 20th, and there was a camp on July the--let me see--the--oh dear, my memory's definitely failing me these days, but I'm relatively sure it was the 22nd to the 24th of July; it was for the University's branch of Campus Crusade, since I'm one of the Bible study group leaders (it's how I tend to explain my role, since saying "SM...
