It's Christmas Eve...already. And I'm feeling kind of sad. Couldn't exactly pinpoint the reason, though. Maybe it's because I'm alone? Or because I've been wasting a lot of time? Or because I'm spiritually deprived? It's a mix of strange feelings, I guess...

Yesterday, busiest shopping day of the year, I decided (against my better intentions) to go out for some grocery shopping and stuff. Well, yeah, it wasn't a good idea.

Thursday: A long day of marking (9-4:30) followed by a long evening dinner (6-12:30). The marking was painful, especially with the lack of sleep and food and stuff. But we all joked around, so that relieved some tension. I finished my question second, and then helped Jamie with his question. I guess one good thing that came out of this is that I've made more friends now. More on marking in the next post. As for the dinner, it was ok, I was dead tired, but managed to stay awake anyway. There was foosball (where a piece of the skin on my right thumb was torn off), there was pool, and there was karaoke. We almost broke the foosball table (what with the incredible feat of strength shown by Ed and Michael). And boy the karaoke people were loud and sometimes scary...I'm not sure I would look at these people the same way again...
