18th December 2005 - Day 76

It's Sunday again. I stayed in the hostel the whole day.

Guess what I did? That's right! Nothing! Ambitious plans were made to finish a set of lecture notes and trying out one of the tutorial questions. It never happened.

The light bulb had to blow.

The whole day was quite cloudy. My room was dark. It made me quite tired trying to read anything. In fact, watching the computer screen was quite straining for my eyes. Now I think I have a slight headache from all the concentrating.

Argh! Help! New light bulb!

I should buy two light bulbs. Just in case another bulb somewhere fuses in another 27 days and it so happen to be a Sunday.

I look around the room and decided to try to come up of a list of things which I should bring back home. I realised I had only brought the bare essentials and nothing extra. I cannot think of anything which I've brought over from home, but did not use.

Oh yes. The grammar book. It's absolutely of no use since I now have a bigger and more comprehensive one.

I know for sure that when I finally go back home, I'll have so many things with me that I probably have to pay quite a sum for my excess baggage. As of yet, I still have not bought anything here for collection purposes. Nothing here has caught my eye. The things which I saw here, I could probably get it in Singapore. No doubt at a higher price.

Maybe I should see if there's any interesting german books which I can read for leisure in the future.

I'm beginning to understand the joy of knowing that Spring will be here (though I should have gone home by then). And Winter hasn't even started! I get tired once the sun goes down. Not that I am solar-powered. What else do you expect from someone who is used to having 12 hours of daylight back home?

"Ahh. It's still not so bright. It must be only around 0630 in the morning. Let me sleep some more."

0810 would be a better answer. And you're late for lessons.

So, only a few more days before I'm due for recharging.
