Internet is really slow tonight, blogger took a long time to load.I have an exam tomorrow, so I really don't know what I'm doing awake at this hour. Actually, I just finished studying. I think I studied all of 1 hr. Amazing eh? Considering how much I enjoyed IMC (that's Intergrated Marketing Comms for the uninitiated), I really don't feel very motivated to study. No big surprise because I think after completing two projects for this module, I know the ins and outs of it. At least enough to scrape a pass.
Why do unmotivated? Because after all the studying for Consumer Behaviour, I got only a Credit for it. Very disappointing. And since scoring that Distinction is now just a dream, I've decided to take it easy.
Sigh...
I'm still feeling distressed over my postponed Taipei trip, but I just had an idea. Since Taipei is too expensive, why don't I go somewhere affordable? Like Bangkok? I'm still thinking about it, but Thailand is after all, not Taipei.
Sob, give me my Taipei...
15 more days till I lay my grubby hands on J.K. Rowling's final HP book. I think I'm dealing with the anticipation in a rather admirable fashion. I hope the cold turkey doesn't start after I finish the book. And please! Don't let Harry die! I would be so disillusioned!
I wonder how the people who had already read the book (i.e. editors, artist who drew the cover, other lucky bastards & bitches) can keep everything so hush-hush. Nothing has leaked out so far, not even a whisper (at least as far as I know) of what is to come. If I were one of them, I would absolutely die. How can I bear not go around bragging that I know what happens to the most famous fictionious boy and giving people hints of what will happen?
Which is why I'm not in the know.
And Farand told me a few weeks back that Longman is apparently somehow related to the HP books and he gets a mind-blowing 40% off the retail price of the book! 40%!!! Do you have any inkling how much that is? I was so agitated that I almost expired right there in the car. But I'd already re-ordered the book, so it really doesn't make sense for me to cancel and buy from him. To think he was all calm about being able to purchase the books at 40% discount. He is completely oblivion to his good luck because he doesn't like the series.
Totally insane, him.
Another sad thing to blog about: I didn't get the Luxasia job. Yes, I do feel bitter about it since I lost out because they thought I have a problem with working long hours. Come on! How many overnighters did I pull with Red Box? I have a problem? They're the ones with the problem! I'm so angry I can bite someone!
