Neurons feel fried after too many hours pounding away at abortion essay. My first morals-and-ethics GP essay and my mind's gone and tied itself up in confused tangles already... damn... part of the reason why I gave up Humanities (apart from the misery of perfectionistic essay-writing and the pragmatic Arts vs Science considerations) was because I thought I couldn't handle ambiguity well enough. I dislike seeing arguments chasing their own tails, refusing to arrange themselves properly and neatly along well-defined lines of thought. I'm uncomfortable with basing arguments on philosophy, metaphysics and questions with no answers. Of course, they're interesting to read about, but come essay-writing time - Gods they drive me nuts... almost. Guess that's why at the end of the day, despite all my grouses, I'm a Science student.
Eyes hurt from too many hours of staring at the screen. Patience worn thin by a Pentium IV-equipped computer that seems to insist on single-handedly disproving Moore's Law. Fricking browsers are being yet again uncooperative.
And I haven't finished my Econs essay outlines which are due on Tuesday. Now, I don't suppose *that* can be considered 'suicidal', because strictly speaking, 'suicide' is defined as the act of
intentionally ending one's own life. There must be a deathwish involved, and procrastinating on schoolwork, while supremely unwise, doesn't qualify as a deathwish, I should think. How about 'masochistic'? (no, not in *that* sense of the word) Or I could simply put it down to poor time management. *tsk tsk*
Spent a happy afternoon at Causeway Point having lunch with my dad and generally shopping around. My usual haunts: Popular, Music Junction, Comics Connection. The last one was particularly interesting. My eagle-eyed sister managed to spot an extremely rare and ancient CLAMP manga I never thought I'd see in Singapore. Unfortunately, it's out of print and mostly out-of-stock, as we discovered after quite some time of rummaging through the shop, behaving like a pair of demented fangirls (which we are, in any case :) In the process, we made a few more
interesting discoveries. Let's just say... I really wonder if the censorship board monitors all manga imports, or is it just the stuff that goes to Kinokuniya?
