About Me

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
I am secretly (and ashamedly) moved by sentimental literature. Classical music moves me and stirring orchestral music sends a chill down my spine and has the effect of making me stand up and pretend I'm a conductor. I am terribly choosy with my food but ironically I like to check out restaurants (albeit 'safe' ones). I like inane activities like window shopping, observing people and animals, taking long bus rides to nowhere and surfing the net. I have patience for others but none for myself. I am a good listener but I will never want counselling as my profession. My aim in life is to make God the centre of everything I do.

Crazy crazy week!

Blog title says it all!
Mad, mad week.
My thesis is due next week.
1 year of hard work coming to fruition!
I'm excited!

Had a meeting with my supervisor on Wednesday, and he's suggested more changes!
I must say that writing is an ongoing process,
and you're never going to get a perfect product.
I'm really grateful to him for the care he has shown to my writing -
He goes through every line,
scrutinizes every word,
questions each ambiguity.
I like a teacher like that!

In between working on the thesis,
I had to re-read
Pride & Prejudice (found it less silly since the last time I read it)
Great Expectations and
Jane Eyre (found it less subtle and more cliched than how I'd felt about this book, though the cheesy flirtations between Mr R and JE never fails to amuse me)

I'm currently re-reading A Doll's House, starting to plough through a biography of Chaucer, attempting to transcribe Troilus and Criseyde and finding out more about good ol' George Hebert...

And trying to catch up on sleep as well...have been managing an average of 5-6 hours everyday!

I really feel like Victor Frankenstein locked up in his solitary cell and cut off from civilization these few weeks!

Whoosh....Now I've gotten everything off my chest!
I believe I sound very nerdy in this post...just books, books and more books!

I will attempt to get a life soon.
Maybe that'll begin tonight when I have to dress up as Noddy and help serve alcohol.
Hilarious times!

Am so glad that we're going to an operetta on Saturday.
Hope it'll be good!
