some things almost seem so long ago now

what a year it has been - and it's not over yet. am quite tired in the run-up to exams. need to push on for the next three weeks. feels like i'm near the bottom of my barrel. but i bought ben and jerry's choc chip cookie dough and i feel a bit better. it was nice to eat something so yummy.

and i went to the zoo a few weeks ago and saw many furry animals so that was lovely.

am going to study from now til 7pm - today's psych menu is the chapter on pharmacotherapies.

toodles poodles noodles.

whatta gorgeous day i am going to the park to see doggies and kiddies and trees and sun and sky xo

what are you feeding yourself?

to better days ahead.

goodbye Louie

am incredibly sad.

why staying at home to study isn't entirely a good thing

1. Facebook
2. Email
3. Blog-surfing
4. Reading the news online
5. It's bad for health: 2 indomies, 2 fried eggs, no physical activity apart from typing with my fingers and twirling around in my new study chair and occasionally walking to the kitchen to make a mug of tea

On the flip side, i'm getting some work done so that's good

It's been a sad-ish weekend and Monday

note to self

i won't forget-

• that the secrets to a good green curry are coconut cream in addition to the milk, kaffir lime leaves and basil, a whole onion thinly sliced and fried first- before all the other ingredients, generous lashings of fish sauce and soy sauce. lost my mojo today- as always, my first go at a new recipe is often pretty good (fluke? haha) but subsequent attempts can often be lacklustre. i put it down to my tendency to follow recipes to the T the first time around, and then thinking that i can probably do it on my own without consulting the book. needless to say, i end up leaving out small but essential ingredients or steps. hopefully next time i will remember!
• to live in the present- not the past, or the future. what's done is done, what lies ahead is still unknown, but today, i can live life, make memories, be present to every moment, person, smile, laugh and hug.
• to love.

busy week ahead. also, exams are in about seven weeks. plenty to think about and plan for - a paper to write, job applications coming up next year. wistful wishing is something i have found to be totally useless and a waste of my time - i want to worry and think less and just make the most of what is here and now.

goodnight, world.
