January 20, 2007 I am gonna be very wise soon, I have 2 wisdom tooth at the lower jaw waiting to bud and show their potential to the world. They're damn painful. Sometimes the pain even prevents me from opening my mouth. So in 72hours, I've been to the doctor twice and the dentist once - all of them at the same location.
I finished the book Mao's Last Dancer. It's so niceeeee!
Today my mouth hurt so much I took an Anarex in class and my teacher commented, "Young lady! What are you trying to do? Commit suicide is it?" Then he went on about not taking it with an empty stomach. It doesn't damage the liver but it burns a hole the stomach if it's empty. "How do I know? Because I also take them."
He also said something I never knew before, and am lucky I didn't - depressed people use it too. Tadah. Since combined with it making people drowsy, it can be used a sleeping pill. But then again, if I knew about it earlier, I'd be so immune to it that no other medicine would then work if I get a headache or fever. Hur.
Anyway, I dragged myself to school today, was about 5minutes late because the train on the green line took 7minutes to come. Then I realised that there was afternoon class, oh bugger! So I lunch-ed alone. ): But I really missed the porridge so it was fine! The pork was sour so I didn't take the meat. Then I sat at the coffeeshop reading my storybook, then decided to go back to class to continue reading, in the comfort of the air conditioning, which was a little too cold. Anyway, I kept falling into a trance mode trying to listen to the teacher's jokes to keep awake. Listening, by itself, was tough already. But I finally woke up after a few more jokes. Audit is fun. But I still think I prefer taxation.
Porridge, mee sua, liquid food - HERE I COME!

I need to collect my notes on Wednesday so I can go revise it for Thursday's night class. I've missed 3classes, imagine how much must I catch up? My friends missed 2 and they're already struggling. Oh well. They say he ends just in time for the last train - I wonder if I can ever make it home in time. AHAHA.
