Today has been good. :)

CTs are over. This round of tests seemed pretty inconsequential. I suppose they are, if I'm thinking long-term. There were points in the past few days where I felt I really did not care how they turn out. Indifference is the word. Now I seem to have a mild curiosity about the results. Overall the papers were fine, except for physics.

I miss shopping, as I miss going to town, as I miss writing and ficcing, as I miss new bags and new clothes and new shoes and actually having occasion to wear them.

It is really frustrating to spend the entire week of holidays hunched over my desk studying, to go out 50% less than usual, to not go shopping even once this hols, and then have someone tell me that I'm not taking my studies seriously.

My new Tori Amos album is utterly pretty. It makes me happy. So does eating Pringles at eleven in the morning. And the fact that I made bread and butter pudding yesterday. :)

On the other hand, econs is spoiling my hols. Reading the notes only serves to makes me more confused. I hate to say it but the NJ econs lecture notes are really bad. It's not just the many and obvious spelling and grammatical errors, but the way ideas are brought across. The way certain concepts are phrased change their meanings entirely. It's very misleading and we have to individually seek out our tutors to confirm the mistakes and correct them. AARH.

Pull of the Moon by Elizabeth Berg is one of the best books I've read in awhile. I'm only about halfway through it, but it makes me really feel, in a way that few other books do. I never would have thought that a story about a middle-aged American woman from a middle-income household running away from home would invoke such a sense of familiarity in me. I guess everyone is more alike than we think.
