today was the first time in many months that i did not shower in the morning, and i was grossed out for a while about it but got used to it and many distresses came along to make me forget and anyway i just had a really good hot shower and i feel goooood. reason for non-shower in the morning: i woke up at 720 and thank god my dad called my room phone, because evidently my mom was too asleep and my maid too inefficient to make sure i woke up! i mean, that should be the primary purpose of their 7am existences! Making Sure Aparna Wakes Up! because otherwise left to her own devices she'll just go on sleeping until such time as her body tells her that it's really had enough sleep! and that'll take a really really long time! anyway, i don't remember anybody trying to wake me until my dad called, although my mom later insisted that she woke me at 650. although i have to say, if someone wakes me at 650 and the actual time that i really need to be up is 7, i'll ask for 10 more minutes and if someone doesn't come in after ten minutes then i won't exactly wake up will i? i used to have an alarm on my phone but evidently things change. anyway have figured out alarm with help of mark. where was i. dad called on the way back from dropping brother, because he's supposed to drop me, he says its 720, i snap awake and just wash my face and liberally spray on body spray and some flower by kenso for luck although i had a shower last night and other people regularly do the evening-not-morning-shower thing but i think it's gross so i need the reassurance of nice-smelling substances to counteract the ew feeling. oh and i forgot the part about almost NOT picking up my dad's call cos i thought i was calling myself in a dream or something making it unnecessary to pick up the phone. thankfully, again, the better part of my brain kicked in and said it was an important call and might in fact be my dad so i picked up.

assembly, econs, the usual. THEN. during history lec, i escaped to the canteen for a bite, and who do i run into? rolly. i'm not pleased to see him because the sight of him reminds me of the wasted history paper, and evidently he isn't pleased to see me either because he says something like (i'm paraphrasing a lot here because i was distressed at the time so my memory got fuzzy) "aparna.. about your essay(s?) i'm marking them and i've got about 40 left and the whole thing is pathetic and petty and i've decided that i'm not going to give you lecture notes for the next two weeks. i think it's only fair, if you don't do your homework i don't see why i should do mine." ok i know i should've done my homework on time and all, but seriously, what came over him? and i know my memory is failing a bit on what exactly he said but trust me when i heard it was just as incoherent as that. and everyone else who encountered him today said that he was perfectly normal and even funny so now i'm left wondering if i imagined the whole thing. well, i guess we'll find out on tuesday at lecture! so stay tuned, folks, for part 2 of the Rollason Saga. (oh i'm withdrawing from his fanclub though. he was really mean and i was really really upset by it so no matter how adorable he is, for a while i'm going to have to hate him. maybe just as a matter of principle. actually not just a matter of principle because in my heart at the moment i really do feel unhappy with him.)

anyway thankfully i spent break with vaish and soph and they said funny things as usual and cheered me up. then had a chat with mcconnell about the rgs visit, was quite good talking to him. lovely man.
kel were you ignoring me today!? i felt very ignored by you. =(

history tutorial, saying stupid things to kwok, gp application. blah blah blah. then skipped pe again (yay!) and then home for pw. quite productive, i'm proud to say! although i have to bitch about the fantastic timing. pw being smackdab in the middle of promo season. fabulous. choon and viv stayed for dinner, watched a bit of gg, vivien had a revelation and i'm vindicated in my assertion that there are 6 discs hahahahah. and then they left, and then my hot shower and now i'm here!

just made a pact with shoojee to finish reading a&c by monday, on pain of death. kelly shall have the job of performing the executions if we don't finish. i need pressure, and companionship in pressure. though i do have pw to finish at the same time and i'm sleep. so i shall go now and read a&c until i fall asleep.
