am still at moffitt library but hav given up trying to read my incredibly dense econ textbook. my reading rate is approximately 10 pages an hour, and i suspect a retention of 50% or material. hav tons of pages to read for the next 2 days....!! =( went to bear's lair to study in the afternoon and discovered that they sold 2.25 smoothies... pretty cheap as compared to many places around campus.. so maybe next time i can go there to buy smoothies.. or better still, buy a blender and make my own in at home next time... =)

feel terribly unaccomplished with respect to getting furniture from seniors. have been really laid back and didn't really actively look for furniture and the first time i tried to get something from a senior today i realised that i'm too slow =P oh well.. hope i dun end up having to buy new furniture and spend a whole lot of money.... maybe will look on craigs list after my finals.
the weather is getting hotter and guys hav commented that it is easy to tell cos girls are wearing less.. haha. i'm glad its finally gettinr warmer cos i'm really a lil tired of having to wear my blue jacket everywhere i go. and esp ever since i lost my nice pink fleece sweater i have been left with a limited variety of outerwear... haha.

my IAS 45 lecturer gave an interesting lecture to round up the whole class... and what lingered in my mind was what he reiterated, about the responsibility of those in power to make the lives around them better... i think he was referring more to the situation between developed and developing countries.. and esp after the many instances in history in which the european countries enriched their own economies at the expense of countries like africa and their own colonies, i can understand his stand. but beyond that, it made me think about the purpose of living.. .like sometimes i can't help but feel that life is so unfair.. like i think a person's destiny is very much based on his socioeconomic background.. and while ur own effort can kinda determine ur fate but still... unless u actively try to pursue what u want and fight for what u want.. it's still kinda tough. which made me think about my future job too... like perhaps while working for HDB.. i should perhaps try to somehow improve the lives of the poor?? i dunno how though.... it's too late.. my mind is getting muddled and i'm starting to spout rubbish.. haha. ok i think i shall start walking home
