nightwatch

Just back from uni. after my Ibsen seminar. It was a short one hour one today; yes, it went by quickly. Unlike this morning's lecture on Jane Austen. Ever heard someone read an academic journal article too fast for an hour while you're obliged to sit quietly (as though you couldn't read for yourself if given the text)? That's how it was: strict no-no for a LECTURE ie. presentation where students learn and take down notes instead of wondering at the lecturer's syntax.... "few critics were not uncomfortable" (and there's only one example here because I'm obviously still wondering at what the rest mean)

It's 5.30pm now, and the sky is pitch dark. Looks like 10 pm SG. But on really clear nights the sky is beautiful! There are so many stars, and more appearing all the time ...that you can't believe your eyes. 3 of us even laid out a sleeping bag in the garden (when it was 12 deg. outside) to skygaze at midnight.

wondering what my friends back home are doing now. at the end of exams, at the start, doing Os (my bro.), preparing for our Feast Day, writing, sleeping, at the movies, preparing for concerts, at meetings on saturday afternoons, at uni., at poly., at home. I miss you guys.

Just received a letter from my family. It is a package actually, and includes a video of my cousin's wedding and the liturgy booklet for the ceremony! Can't wait to watch it; I bet she's stunning. Am so happy for her: her first love, her first boyfriend for more than 8 years.

Also inside is a really cute pop-up-stand-up greeting card of the characters from the Snoopy comic, all dressed in Japanese attire; under each one is written our name.

I love you guys.
