i am so awake right now, the most lucid i've been today. i slept during my first two lectures again. surprisingly i was attentive during english even though the first half was a repetition of boring how-to-use-the-OPAC and what-does-it-stand-for. but the prof was so much more straight to the point when he showed us how to look for journal articles instead of taking us on some circuitous trip a la 816 last friday. then we read don juan which i found amusing.and he cancelled tutorial too!! cuz he wanted us to think about our 2 reaction papers which are due...in march. hehe, well he hopes we can turn in a draft in 2 weeks or so but i never thought about it this afternoon cuz i was so shagged. i didn't nap till 6 though, and only woke up for dinner at 8ish.
just in time to watch the last few points of the semifinal between nalbandian and baghdatis. i think it's just amazing how someone can be 2 sets down and not feel psychologically tormented and come back to win the match. and even more amazing that he just turned professional recently.
well, no more martina mania i guess. she's playing in the mixed doubles semis though, defeated better ranked pairs like the 2nd and 8th seeds. q-finals is respectable for someone returning after a 3-year absence. i was totally amazed by how kim clijsters, who has been struggling with injury, could hit such powerful shots and engage in those baseline rallies. it's such a pity she twisted her foot in the semis - i love all belgian finals. i'm hoping henin-hardenne wins the women's title.
been having headaches lately - bad sign. think i've been running around too much, got too much on my plate or something, and doing too much for other people. i stopped and thought, i've been trying to not fall into the same pattern of being busy and tired that i don't end up doing what i want. isn't living about wanting, which gives you purpose to do things?
