everytime i think i've worked the hardest in my life, a new assignment comes up that makes me work even harder. Chemical Engineering is currently owning my life. 4 hours of sleep per night average for this week. but i went out to starbucks to study once two nights ago. studied there till 2am. reminded me of A Levels and studying in mcdonalds. Or was that O Levels? hmmmm... crap. that's too long ago. Got a test coming up next week, and NO time to study. Homework and research are taking up too much time ;( argh... what's becoming of my life.

surviving on less than 2 hours of sleep. last week has been a week of little sleep... Z_z
but I did have my fair share of activities like rock climbing once and I helped set up a really nice formal swing dancing ball. There were females wearing like dresses and hats with gloves!! like in titanic, the rich women with gloves... and there was a man dressed as a sailor with his wife as a nurse. he was pretty old and i thought he was living out a fantasy. There were guys with top hats, guys in suspenders, tuxedos. It was a joint event with the HSDS (Houston Swing Dancing Society). It was amazing. Never knew there was such a population of happening people! There was a live orchestra/dance band playing at the side and we were dancing on the waxed wooden floors. I tried to do foxtrots and tangos during the swing songs and weaved through the mass of people. It was tonnes of fun. I paid in full for my Saturday night of merriment on Sunday by working a full day (9-6) in lab and doing homework till 5:30am.
This week is going to be crazy again. I love my life. ChemE and I are gonna be buddies for the next 3 years, and I need to break up with lala land and the prancing ponies.
