Fast Food

In my pre-sem 2 post, I had expressed an awareness that this semester would be much more hectic than the previous one, particularly with drony professors who require my 3 hours of nonstop super intense concentration and rapid note-taking skills. I have yet to take any assignments or tests to gauge my competency at keeping up with the quickened pace, but my growing tendency to feel tired (read: sleepy, fuzzy thoughts) after reading tome after tome and mulling poem after poem is a cause for concern that I should be thankful not to have to deal with such things yet.

I was hit by the fatigue bug again today, after my only 2 hour tutorial. So, desperate for an almost instant energy booster that would be portable enough to bring to the lecture theatre, I succumbed to the Golden Arches.

More expensive, less tasty than home made milo dinosaur. SGD$1.65 for fast + convenience + standing behind the counter while someone fills up the plastic cup for you and holds it while you poke the straw in and hands you a napkin with both hands thereafter + regaining my top form for 2 hours more. Not a bad deal.

The throes of my 'oh-so-divine' calling (I think!) to be a global citizen (buzzword here!) has propelled me to sign up for INSTEP. But I don't think I'm in the right form now to craft the compulsory, cheesy, 150 words 'why-I-deserve-this' paragraphs for GIP. Closes on Sunday though, maybe I shall go to the Bleak House first.
