What do you do when you run out of green tea?

Since my parents' absence I haven't managed to locate any green tea for 2 main reasons - I rarely ever go out to Chinatown these days (they probably sell green tea for extortionate prices anyway) and I can't be bothered to drive out to Wing Yip/Loon Fung to buy some.

I finally run out when my parents are back in 5 days which I mega annoying. I've substituted green tea for oolong tea right now which is... okay but not really my preferred choice.

If you regularly visit my blog you'll find that this is where my "inconsistent blogging" comes into play. I haven't blogged for a good 2 weeks now mainly because of essays and the project write up. Which is partly true, another reason is because of my "social life" haha. I put that in quotation marks because sometimes I do have a social life, sometimes I don't.

Right now, I'm pretty chilled about work because I'm ahead for the project, I estimate that my discussion should be completed by tomorrow, if not Sunday latest. I should really be doing work on my dissertation but since I haven't received my first draft back from my supervisor, I'm most likely using that as an excuse for stalling such an important piece of work. As you can probably tell, the past 2 weeks of non-blogging have been focused on submitting essays and getting this darn project completed, or close to completion anyway.

I had a pretty crap day today overall, I managed to wake up at 3pm for some dumb reason. I even slept at 3am the night before which is actually really early for my standards, I've been having nocturnal 5am bedtimes for the past 6 weeks my parents have been away for. So as a result, I missed my lecture (which isn't that big of a deal as I planned to skip this one anyway because of it's boring-ness). To make things worse, I managed to drop my TV remote on my MacBook - mini heart attack when that happened because I know the aluminium unibody dents SO easily... Looked closer and saw no damage done, phew. Then when I got to typing, one close inspection at my spacebar and I noticed I've cracked it. Darn it. I wasn't that fussed over it though because I know keys can be replaced, the unibody cannot be replaced. So I went to buy a spacebar off eBay and hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow or Saturday so I can replace this cracked thing. Sigh.

The only good thing that has happened to me is getting my result for my Neuropsychology essay. I somehow managed to get 68 which is very surprising considering I didn't understand the question at all, I got into a new relationship at that time (=no motivation), I had my project first draft due on the same day and another essay due the week after. So me getting anything above a 50 is very surprising. Life works in mysterious ways. I'm overjoyed but at the same time, dreading next week's results because I know for sure the language essay was just as badly written as the Neuropsychology one. I can't have 2 strokes of luck in the same month can I?

To end my crap day I found out some bad news which has made me sad for the rest of the night. I don't want to talk about it here though, it's not major but still, it's killed my vibe.

Let's talk about something happier.

I'm going to Barcelona in 3 weeks. A really spontaneous planned trip, I'm going with my boyfriend, Jen and her boyfriend. My boyfriend booked a week off work so getting to spend a few days together is nice since I rarely even see him these days because he's a workaholic.

So yup, something I'm looking forward to soon. I just want March to end already.
