One Night Only.

Ever had one of those really bad days where there is no damn metaphorical light at the end of that damn metaphorical tunnel?

Yep, so here I am being a "rebel" against my self-imposed hiatus trying to exert some control into the shit-I'm-running-out-of-time lifestyle I seem to be leading. Whoopdeedoo. And no one is allowed to waggle because seriously, just give me a reason and I will bite.

Good news is that day is almost over, and it'll be over faster if I go to bed earlier. Incidentally, I had one of the best sleeps EVER last night when I knocked out as soon as I hit the pillow. I honestly cannot remember the last time that happened.

Updates, updates:

Swine flu! Let me tell you something I noticed: you don't get so affected by this pandemic virus thing when you're at home. Maybe it's this subconscious knowledge that meh I'm invincible because my parents will take care of it for me yea they're miracle workers. Just kidding. But I have a point. This swine flu thing is a big thing but really, it doesn't sound that huge on paper. There are antivirals and the known victims are apparently "recovering well". Yet I dare not pick up a newspaper on the bus to read it (I eventually did, with my shoe. Ever read a newspaper with your shoe? Fun. ) And I have become somewhat obsessed with finding out everything there is to know about it. If I were to be really honest, I'd say the procrastinating gene in me (yes, it's genetic I really can't help it) contributes a bit, but honestly I'm a bit paranoid that I'll get it and falling sick in a foreign country doesn't sound appealing at all. Of course, falling sick anywhere doesn't sound appealing either but not my point.

According to the NHS, swine flu is just like normal flu just that it can kill you. Hahaha I had to put that as matter-of-fact as I could I couldn't resist hahaha. OK. So it's not a pandemic yet because it's only stage four and it has to be at stage six but it's not inevitable. The key is to not spread germs. Hahaha there I did it again hahaha oh I'm so amusing aren't I. OK. Wash your hands as often as possible, when people cough/sneeze don't stare them in the face, sneeze/cough into a tissue. Basically just stay clean and germ-free, which honestly is what we should all be advocating with or without the threat of a pandemic flu. But I guess just take extra precautions. Click away for symptoms and prevention!

Apparently swine flu "has already infected Londoners even though they may not yet have developed symptoms". Ohhh joy. And the best place to catch it is on the Tube, particularly during rush hour, which, on certain lines, is all hours. And I will be using the Tube pretty heavily over the course of the next few weeks to get to my exam venues. Perhaps I should invest in a face mask. Hm.

Good news is we can all still eat pork! :D

Geez I'm not much of a "rebel" am I, using my one chance to break my hiatus to go on and on about something as non-self-centered as swine flu. More about me now!

Unfortunately this blog post is not from "the other side" as mentioned in previous post. I'm teetering on the edge of the start of my exams (the fun and games begin this Friday) not as ready as I'd hoped/planned to be. Quite the rollercoaster ride for me actually this emotional battle I have with myself everyday about preparing for exams vs. procrastinating and doing something that will so not help me get to year 2. I'm not gonna disgrace myself any further by stating who usually wins in that match.

But honestly, I've been a bit of a dark mess, all bad thoughts and negativity. It sucks when you sit and try to think of something to cheer you up and nothing comes up, not even old reliables. But blogging seems to help a bit, even if I am going on and on about flu. Scary, life-threatening flu but flu nonetheless. And GG, OTH, HIMYM and Grey's help tons! Oh, I LIVE for Tuesdays and Fridays where I get to watch new episodes. I think they actually help me get by without losing it completely. *teary eyed.

Wow this has been a post of sorts. Haha. I still have loads to blog about but I should probably get back to the subject I absolutely abhor right now. Gah. On some level I absolutely cannot wait for exams to start so that it is over and done with sooner. Having said that, I don't want it to start that soon because I'm not a fan of handing in empty answer sheets.

Wish me luck!
