strange afternoon tv - hospital, snakeheads, chinese people in trucks, sick chinese people in hospital with respiratory problems. SARS outbreak in manhattan.

i'm still recovering from the essays i wrote. 2 essays in less than 36 hours has given me the coffee-shakes, pale sickly skin, eyebags that no concealer can conceal, waves of nausea and incredible cramps in my lower abdomen. who knew that essays could be so mentally straining that one is physiologically affected as well. which is why i've taken the day off school and have been watching tv.

on another note, i can't wait for friday to roll around so i can go get some serious drinking done at wid's birthday dinner, although come to think of it, i have no idea where we're going. or saturday, with more alchohol and perhaps another chance of meeting the extremely tall and cute, but really annoying, american phd student. but whatever it is, i really really need to unwind with good friends and great food and a constant flow of drinks.

just so i can drift off into a sleep without dreams or nightmares.
