what's wrong with blogger? i can't view my own blog. gaw, what a brilliant time to fail on me. i'm almost done with all my homework, except that it's still early, so i have time left on my hands.

and i am so sick of finding out about my chinese name. because there's NOTHING to find out about. it was formed by some fortune teller. that's it. fullstop. so i can get a better life. what am i supposed to derive from that? that i'm some fluke and that my name's a fake?

i'm sorry. i'm just feeling crappy. pmsy even, but my period's not coming anytime soon. i guess i'm just frustrated that my name doesn't have any nice flowery explanation to it. my parents care about me enough to get someone professional to do the honours of giving me a chinese name. not that they don't care. they DO.

i'm going to go on. this topic's making me annoyed.

let's talk about something more annoying first, then i cheer myself up properly later. sorry, i'm not logical now either.

i'm going to some talk at ACS(I) tomorrow. i've decided that this isn't that annoying, except for the fact that 1) i have no idea what the talk's about and 2) it's at acs(i) and i have absolutely no idea how to get home from there. good thing there's some icecream thing going on with lauren and nic now. maybe i can go with them. MAYBE.

let's serve up a third super annoying fact in my life.

that my nose is BLOCKED. just when i can pop a champagne about it not LEAKING anymore, it gets BLOCKED. how marvelous, really, how marvelous my nose is. maybe it pmses with me.

and should miss tan be analysing this, she may conclude that i'm in self-denial and that i'm giving my nose a escape route so that we can both continue our lives as per normal.

note: you probably won't understand that if you're not a lit student.

and perfect! this connects to the thing that should cheer me up--

SABBATICALS!

yayyay. there was the eastern europe trip. then now there's also the japan trip, which suddenly enthuses everybody and everybody wants to go japan now! well, at least me and jacq and julia. :D

we're going to kyoto, tokyo(HEY! TOKYO IS A ANAGRAM OF KYOTO! HOW COOL.), osaka and blahblah. we get to homestay and go watch some puppet show with three people controlling one puppet. and there's also the possibility that we're going to Disneyland. ANDAND we'd be eating sushi every single dayyyy! hurrah.

somehow, it seemed funner with miss tan was briefing us about it and when i discussed it with julia and jacq. actually, i think it's just my limited vocabulary which doesn't express my excitement properly.

i'm going to go sleep now. it's rare that i can have an early night. and anyway, i want tomorrow to come earlier so i can get it done and over with.

saturday will soon come and BABY, YOU'RE GONNA SEE THE NEW AND INTELLECTUAL AUDREYYYY on monday.

look forward to it!<3
