Yesterday was really bizarre, I guess that's the word to describe it. Started with a really bad sleep, which ended at 10AM. Then a mad dash to complete the preparation for the drama night stuff, pack, and go. The stuffs I brought are really heavy and really expensive (and really dependent on the strength of the laundry basket). Yen's house was the next destination, where there was lunch and 2 Shrek 2 viewings. Francis and Bobby came (in reverse order), and after Francis completes his PowerPoint presentation and the long-awaited return of Maggie and mom, we head off to Fairview. I spent a lot of money shopping (even though I didn't bring anything home), was tired, and panicky about the night. Then another mad dash to church and the drama night began. The night went pretty smoothly, I think. It wasn't the disaster that I thought it would be. The team that followed my suggestion to use music and labels won, and that turned out to be my team...coincidence? And next time, a new celebrity judge. Finally, the night ended with a final mad dash to get lots of pictures scanned. I was tired and was running on adrenaline by then. Oh yeah, I wore a light-blue shirt with brown pants, which was something new and disasterous, I think. I should be on that What Not to Wear show... Of course all through the day, I'm always thinking, I should be doing homework right now...

Today, church, no show for Francis, go to the Yen house again, eat lunch, send MuTao to bus station, home, sleep, wake up, do laundry, eat dinner, and now facing the challenge known as convex optimization. I'm looking at this assignment, and once again, I want to cry..........this is just too hard for me. I can't do anything. Sigh...my life, wasting away again...so much for the "how to plan" sermon this morning...

My schedule for the coming days: Convex opt assignment is due on Wednesday, but before that there is Amazing Race on Tuesday (really bad timing, I'd say). After Wednesday, it's marking assignment that is due on the following Monday. Then two days of studies will lead to the exam on Thursday (so fast! so scary!). After that, another week will go by filled with slumber parties (without Sleepy Beauty) until Thursday when I fly far, far away. To say that I'm already burnt out is an understatement, and to say that I'll be burned to ashes is another one. Can't wait until it's all over and I start the cycle of busyness again...
