Busy Day - Freaking out too

There was blessing in disguise the fact that David, my supervisor has not got back to me on my 1st draft of my thesis (that said, I am seriously concerned now whether Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun are enough for me to do corrections, summarise stuff, print them and hand in by 12 noon on 5th June! May god bless).

I had to run tonnes of errands today. And as usual I started late, like 3:30PM. I got up late, I went to bed at 6:30AM. I could not sleep - Should I get that herb-based Nytol to help me sleep? Erghhh...

I started the day late (have I said this? Some amnesia pills for me too, the next think I need would be Viagra, if not Prozac). I even had to do a checklist realising there were a number of things to be completed today. 1st I went to Downing Comp Room to write a letter for my sponsor (how many times do they want updates from me, regardless how many times they ask for my results, it will not get any better OK!). Then to the Business School to get some certs and results photocopied. Thank god the other Course Admin was around to certify all docs, Paula, my course admin was not around.

Went off to Post Office to post the stuff to my sponsor. Then off to Central Library to use the free Internet to quickly send an email to Paula. I need a letter to certify that I am a current student at this Univ and "will" graduate soon. I will need to pick it up tomorrow morning. Spent about 45 mins there. Then, went off to Marks & Spencer to buy stuff. It is real bad to shop when you were hungry. I picked some stuff I won't even need. For example, tonight the fruity malt loaf will go to the bin as it has expired 7 days ago!

Finally I was home. I was contemplating to watch a documentary at the Picture House called Wal-Mart - The High Cost of Low Price [It's a rare bit of humour, and a welcome stab at Wal-Mart's chief accomplice, if that's the term: The film castigates local governments for giving tax breaks to Wal-Mart at the same time their schools are closing, but ultimately it is the individual customer who has to take responsibility for where he or she shops].

I was so interested to check it out. But I felt sleepy. Instead I headed home. And immediately cooked rice and prepared some ingredients to cook Chicken Korma. So I had a good meal today. Proofs? Check below (by the way, the entry is not video-driven today for I see no point really). *OK I am off to send some of the leftover food to the fridge now. Perhaps I can still eat it tomorrow. :)
