argh what an unproductive day!
i've barely done any hist -or- econs and let's not even talk about lit.

anddd my parents have gone now to pick up some relative who's coming over for dinner, so that's about another two hours. she's either my very distant cousin or my mom's very distant cousin. i'm not sure. but she's a year older than me i think. which really provides no clue as to whether she's my cousin or my mom's, considering i have an uncle who's my brother's age.

and she lives in nairobi but she goes to university in india. i wonder what sort of accent kenyans have. african-y in a cool mistah eko kinda way or south africany ie sort of british accent.

my uncle (he of the cocoa tea) advised us to visit kenya soon cos we could stay with this girl's parents. haha i have no idea what they're called, didn't even know they existed until my mom told me a couple of days ago that she's in town and has been invited over for dinner. so her parents are planning to move back to india soon, because this girl (i believe her name is divya) is studying in india and her sister's married and living in london i think.

he's always advising us to travel to cool places like jordan and kenya and peru. whyyyy are we so boring. as far as i can remember, i've never been anywhere Cool like that.

anyway. i have NO holiday plans yet. after As i have to... start doing my other applications just in case my early D doesn't work out. and then if it works out we're going to come up with a spur-of-the-moment holiday. my other uncle wanted us to visit him in new york because when we go to new york we sort of just bum around for a month or so and for some reason new york visits don't have the hecticness of a trip with a specifically touristy purpose, so he thinks i'll still have time to work on my applications, but a) i doubt i really will get anything done there, simply because if i'm in new york after the torture of As i'll obviously feel entitled to be let loose on manhattan. god just THINKING about times square and fifth avenue is turning me weepy and very very angry with the world. b) my aunt's pregnant and i'm not sure when she's due for 6 months and she's got two other kids.

i certainly hope i won't NEED those other applications, because doing the ONE early D application was already so much of a pain.

ugh.

my stupid BROTHER has been invited to go to EGYPT with his friend. and he seems to be pretty confident that my mom will let him go =( =( =( and tonight he's off to the same friend's place for the night. the friend's mom ran into my mom this morning and my mom was telling her that my poor brother is bored because he's on holiday but we aren't going anywhere yet because of MY exams, and plus my mom refuses to send him to stay with my grandparents' cos they're just back from new york and my grandma's recovering from chemo etc, so my troublesome little bugger brother will be too much of a pain. so friend's mom took pity on my poor dear brother and invited him over for a couple of days, and invited him to egypt with them and ARGH why is my life hell in comparison.

if there is so much compassion in the world i wish someone'd just give me a million dollars, 4As and a D and i'd be eternally grateful (until the million dollars run out).

the effect of that boo boo cake is wearing off. i'm turning grumpy again.

i must start being thankful for things. like nice parents who make me fantastic pasta and omelettes with lots of cheese and bring me boo boo cake. and the fact that i'm saving a LOT of money these days through chauffeur service from the dad, and from eating at home all the time, and from not going near orchard and movies and stuff (ok that last bit's not really making me very happy but i AM saving tons of money).

anddd my tv shows are all going very excitingly and wonderfully and fabulously and do people on the OC EVER have to take exams? they just bum around and have exciting dramatic soap opera lives and live in big houses and have fantastic clothes every day despite being completely broke (yes marissa that's you, your family's been in financial hell for the best part of three years and yet there's a new chanel purse and/or new frankie b jeans every week. incidentally ana-lucia is wandering around Lost on an island, also wearing frankie b jeans. and she killed shannon! (highlight - spoiler)) and now i'm pretending that marissa reads my blog and i'm going off on Lost tangents. the Lost ep was interesting.

yeah okay i've lost it.
oh another thing to be thankful for: my thumb is no longer numb.

and the parents are back. perfect timing. bye!
