Just Another Friday

I may or may not have already said this, but I started reading GoT on my ereader. Books are quite amazing- and I was surprised to find that it actually differed to the TV show is many small details- but that made it all the more entertaining- I didn't just want a transcript of what I'd already seen on TV, after all. Currently Jon Snow is my favourite character, even though he didn't even come close in the show. I also like Arya a whole lot more- though I still think Catelyn Tully is a massive bitch. She has got to be like, the kind of person I hate the most. 

So reading has been really fun, and I'm actually keeping up with my studies to a certain extent. My primary achievement today has been not-falling asleep through this really boring biochem lecture. Naturally it's not the lecturer's fault- biochem is one of the most boring subjects out there, but this is probably the first time I've been able to focus til the very end. I've reverted back to my note-taking habits- I do find that I take in information better when I write it all down. Sometimes lecturers would tell us not to write, but to listen instead- and that's when I usually fall asleep. Some people just have this flat-monotonous voiceline that as very strong sleep-inducing effects.

With regards to my 100-days challenge- while I technically haven't failed yet (due to me publishing my post at midnight yesterday), I think I did forget to blog. Hah, there goes. I was trying to play LoL- the wifi in my house is terrible, but if I move my laptop into the kitchen, I can actually connect to wifi- and that means a lot. Naturally I booted up a game- and while I was able to play- I lagged so hard it was like watching a scratched DVD. Which just means every game I play after that is a free loss. That makes me kind of sad but I hope I will get my wifi fixed soon- it kind of bothers me.

Mmm, now I need to write about what made me happy for the past two days, since today is technically day 3. Well, it turned out we moved into a new lab, and the fact that we weren't cramped in an old building made me quite happy, for the shortest time. I only had that one hour lab for the day- so I slept in, read GoT, went to my lab and then went shopping for the afternoon. I walked home from the shops, so there's my exercise quota reached. I finally figured out how to cook rice noodles- I only needed to soak them in water, not boil them. 

As for today- well, I'd say not falling asleep during the lecture has made me happy enough. Ish. The weather's nice, too? I am really terrible at this "find happiness" thing. For me it's really more "find satisfaction" as opposed to actual happiness. 

Mmm, it's ok though. Being satisfied is my kind of happiness.
