Ups and downs

I stayed in all day since I slept yesterday at about 4 am and woke up at 10 am today feeling very tired. It's probably because of getting soaked in the rain yesterday because I am still not used to carrying the stupid umbrella with me all the time. So I spent the day in my room writing things on my laptop for hours, listening to music all the time, taking breaks in between to stretch my body, and of course snacking throughout the whole thing (buiscuits, quavers, fruit yogurt, chocolate milkshake.. you name it). By the end of the day, I did quite a good part of work, but I am still tired, my soulders and neck are kind of stiff and my right (mouse) hand is aching too.

I also had bits of emotional experiences today. First, when Niha sent me an sms saying how much she misses me tonight. The official signing of her marriage contract is tomorrow, and whenever I think about it I get so miserable. Second, dad emailed me some pictures today of our new house and two pictures of him and mum. I was so thrilled to see their pictures, but then again I realised how much I miss them.

And in line of this series of ups and downs, I also managed to write my first post to London Language (link on the right), the blog Billy set up for Middlesex staff and students of linguistics, and I managed to fail to publish it.
