It must be that Large Black Forest from Coffee Bean causing me temporary insomnia right now. Thanks to the endless supplies of vouchers which entitled me to rounds of coffee bean drinks (and the accompanying calories), even thinking of coffee now makes me want to hurl. I guess it is true that there can be too much of something.
Prepare for entry to include totally random details.
The quality of Teachers' Day gifts this year is pretty amusing. Three bag of gifts, which, surprise surprise, include a GUESS handbag! Shocked. I mean, it is totally expected to get teddy bears, flowers, cards, chocolates [and a hell lot of this!], etc. But a handbag, and a GUESS one at that? Now, I am stressed! [Children's Day gifts.. ehem.]
I still remember there was one time when I was still in formal school [ehem] where teachers were saying something along the lines of "Don't have to get us gifts." Hello! We totally deserve these gifts- I am not saying I EXPECT them- for the insane things we put up with the kids! Sheesh. And plus, it is totally odd to say "no presents this year, please"- like as if you expect them. [Secretly, I do like gifts. Haha. Who doesnt?]
Ahh. At this point, I totally need to say that today was quite an exhaustive day. Shopping can be pretty hard work- especially if you havent washed your hair. The last 7 words are especially true for me! If I dont wash my hair, I am going to get irritated somewhere down the day. And it happened, expectedly of course. Anyway, it also inspired me to get a new haircut- I was bored with the previous one and totally on the verge of getting an AFRO hairdo! But I didnt because I wouldnt want to freak out in front of the mirror each morning. =X
Ah. The past. I ran into my ex-boyfriend's brother- it was a teeny bit awkward because I suddenly didnt know what to ask. I also found out that the said ex has just gotten married. In any case, it is good that he has made himself useful. And that the family is well.
Work is getting insanely busy. And so I am superbly glad for this 3 day weekend. =D
I am not sure if I shut down my laptop now, I am able to get to sleep. But I have no other choice but to try! Sheesh.

I remember studying Organizational Behavior in my Leadership Studies 2 years ago. And I also distinctively remember the phrase burn out and its symptoms. At that point, despite drowning in over 20 or more assignments and friendship scandals, I never thought I would reach burn out. I didnt think it possible for anyone to hit the slump.
But here I am. Teaching the graduating batch, preparing for the graduation ceremony and being part of the organizing committee for a nationwide graduation ceremony is seriously no joke. At first it did not seem too bad until today. As you can probably tell from the fact that I even bother to blog. I am doing everything except work at the moment. Bleah.
My december trip is helping me to keep my head up, though!!! :) wooohoOoo!! Love,
