Fell very very sick on Tuesday, for reasons I shall not disclose here. But anyway, I took sick leave and couldn't get any tutors to take over my classes, so in the end the students were told to attend another tute as make-up instead. Less income for me cause those tutes were casual tutes (i.e. I don't get paid for being sick)

On Thursday, my next tute after that day, I was surprised to see my usual class full of students! All my students from the Tuesday class came to my Thursday class for make-up. Guess they really enjoyed my teaching. Haha. =P But the thing was, the venue was not big enough for 4 classes to squeeze into, so we all ended up having our class on the Oak Lawn (a grassy field just beside the Law Building). It was really funny and cool. I guess it was a really different kind of experience for me. It kinda made me feel like a philosopher going over some of the finer points of the universe with my horde of believers.

I've been going home late every single day as well, so I'm kinda all strung out this week. It's the assignments that are keeping me up all day!!! Grrr....

This is kinda a sidetrack, but I hereby declare that effective as of 26th May, Ian has stopped alcohol consumption. Not. A. Single. Drop.

Oh, and in other news, I've been approached to do a Ph.D thesis under another supervisor whom I've never considered before. Guess there are more options for me now! Thanks to my dear Father in heaven~ =D

Finally, this is the current song that is playing on repeat on my iPod Touch. Old, I know, but still nice.

"Over You"

Now that it’s all said and done
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down
Like an old abandoned house
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath
I felt as if I was in way to deep
Guess I let you get the best of me

Well I never saw it coming
I should have started running
A long, long time ago
And I never thought I’d doubt you
I’m better off without you
More than you, more than you know
I’m slowly getting closure
I guess it’s really over
I’m finally gettin’ better
Now I’m picking up the pieces
From spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together
‘Cause the day I thought I’d never get through
I got over you

You took a hammer to these walls
Dragged the memories down the hall
Packed your bags and walked away
There was nothing I could say,
And when you slammed the front door shut
A lot of other’s opened up
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me
