wasting some free time
Aug. 24th, 2007 09:43 pmI finally get a breather after weeks of experiencing stress in every possible form, and here I am blogging. Does that seem right to you? (Sorry, Firefly joke). Well, might as well get the most unproductive things out of the way. Here's a music meme nabbed from ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

In other news, living off-campus is exhausting. I really took my dorm room for granted. I used to be able to go back to my room on a whim and bask in privacy and "free" air-conditioning. Getting to class used to take only 5-10 minutes depending on how lucky I was with the bus. Whenever I wanted something to eat (before 10 pm), I only needed to take the elevator down to the ground floor and go to the convenience store. Where I'm living now, I have to commute to get a bottle of water (the water in Singapore is supposed to be potable but the pipes here are ancient). I need to walk for around 10 minutes UPHILL to get from the bus stop to my block. Not to mention that to get from NUS to the bus stop that goes to my place, I have to walk across an overpass that's several meters above the highway. I'm acrophobic, you know. Yes, I know I'm being whiny, but I also know that I won't be staying in this place for long. I applied for the on-campus waitlist, and even if I don't get anything from that, there's always Oliver's place. Whining about the general suckiness of my current apartment makes me feel better in the meantime.
Argh, I have to go to the lab tomorrow. The cancer cells I'm growing are becoming too prolific and will start dying out if I don't remove some of them. Oh well, such is a researcher's life.
