aside from having not done very much this weekend, I am also appalled to hear from a recent group mail that there are so many things going on and so many people leaving at home that I was totally unaware of! I feel so totally ashamed that I have been such a slacker when it come to communicating...*resolves to reply email immediately after this*
still trying to find a job, but dont exactly know what I can work as...for some reason I'm preoccupied with this notion that nobody's gonna hire me, and I don't want to be one of those scary people in clothes shops that follow you around :( dilemma dilemma
and I have to write a book review for professional writing, so I decided on one called The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Read it! It's pretty good in a romantic/sci-fi/drama type of way. Its about a guy named Henry who travels back and forth in time. The problem is he cant bring anything with him when he time travels, so he often ends up naked without cash in strange surroundings, and yes, if I were confronted with a stark naked man in the middle of nowhere I wouldn't exactly react well if he mumbled something about being a time traveller before lunging for my clothes. So one day he ends up meeting a little girl named Clare whom he falls in love with and knows to be his future wife. She, being the eight year old innocent that she is simply thinks its cool to have a secret friend. So their love story develops, continues into real time, and a lot of the story is basically about Clare's struggle to maintain a normal life despite her husband's frequent disappearances, and not knowing when, where or in what condition he will return. It's quite a different kind of love story, and I personally couldnt put it down, but I hope I can actually write a review about it! The problem is it's not due until folio time at the end of semester, so I just know I'm gonna procrastinate until then, ergh....
Now I gotta listen to the audio stream of the macro lecture that I missed on Friday hehehe....that reminds me of Wei Ling, I havent seen her in ages....wonder what everyone in Uropa is up to.

Oh, they wrote a review about that book in the Star a few months ago and I remember thinking it sounded interesting. I'm reading "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov and guess what? It has no relation to the movie whatsoever besides the title! It's such a good book; if you ever go to a used book store (like I did), you should totally pick some of his stuff up. He had a plan and it shows in all his books. It isn't heavy, unintelligible sci-fi babble like we get these days. Yea.
