++ never look back in anger.

++ blessed at having seniors that burned their weekends and not sleep the whole night to help you get through it.

++ after three weeks sitting here i fully appreciate the presence of internet radio. i don't have enough cds and music to last me through *hint hint christmas is coming, heh*, at least they loop on and on and i don't really realise it at all. and i keep looping my 2046 'this christmas song' because the jazzy reminder of christmas keeps me happy and i don't have other christmas songs besides ally mcbeal's. and you can't keep listening to 'santa baby'.

++ i discovered the detriments of consuming beverages that i take to keep me awake. normally it's a cuppa but three weeks of late nights and no days, it's the long term effects you realise. (green) tea hydrates and left me with dry lips that bled. after awhile strawberry tea and peach tea and earl grey tastes alike. coffee gets boring so you have to be inventive, like maybe kahlua or baileys, and the after-caffine effects are horrible but you still gotta take it.

++ you stand up cos you keep falling asleep and suddenly you wake up and realise you're still standing up. it's like being drunk without alcohol.

last stretch.
