new challenges

I have decided to change the thoughts that go into the blog as Xin Yin mentioned that the past few blogs have all been about my neck...
The semester is fast coming to an end... I have just submitted 2 major assignments today and have to do my reflective journals and 1 more major assignment... It has been quick in some ways but at times when the work seems unending I wished time would fly faster... But now I want it to slow down so that I can savor each moment that little bit more... I have my final lecture for EHE908 later today... It is a weird feeling to say the least...
The funny thing about the end of the semester is the fact that I seem to need more sleep... I find it a challenge to wake up before 0900 every morning... I guess it does not help that it is just the right temperature to snuggle up under the duvet... But well at least I am getting enough sleep now a days... The nights are cool and that helps... It is great to snuggle with the wheat bag for that little bit of warmth... Am following the physiotherapist's order to keep the neck warm which has a feel good factor thats for sure... In fact, the wheat bag is doing its thing while I am writing this blog...
Right... Back to reading before I shut eye... have to tidy my room too... it is starting to look messy and I can't take it no more...

at the end of the day

At the end of the day...
the night arrives with a vengeance...
silence is all around...
the birds are asleep...
I miss being stuck in an aluminum tube...
Right now, all I want is to see the end of the assignments...
I want to laugh without a care in the world...
I would love to curl up with a novel and read to my heart's contend...
But right now... reality is different...

dough

I have been enjoying the joys of physio therapy... I feel like a hunk of dough that need kneading... It is such an experience... Especially when I can hear all the creaks and squeaks that my muscles are making... It is a good pain in a way and I feel much better after it... Have to keep the neck warm after each session as there is heat therapy which is the best part of the session... The downside is that I feel light headed when the session ends and it feels weird... I think the heat is highlight of anything at the moment... At least I don't look so much like a bean sprout anymore... Am looking a bit straighter which is a good thing...

The nights have really cooled down in a nice way and it is so nice to curl up in bed... Time to go horizontal as the medication is making me feel sleepy... night night

Bean Sprouting 2

Finally went to visit the doctor and she looked at me in shock...
Am going for physio tomorrow. Well I hope it helps as I am tired of looking at the world on its side. Have some medication to take to try and get the swelling down but it is making me feel sleepy... Think I am going to curl up and go to bed after posting this blog...

The upside is that the cooler weather has finally arrived and it is great to have some cool breeze for a change... The sun is shining which is great... The sun sets rather early meaning by 5 pm but the sunsets are really pretty to watch...

My eyes are shutting... till later

because i said so

Took a break from the study to go watch a movie today... It was a really feel good movie that was very enjoyable...

When will the summer weather ever end? I am getting a bit sick and tired of having to decide how many layers to wear so that I can be prepared for all the seasons that hits in a day... Oh well... guess when the cooler weather arrives it is going to hit with a vengeance...

Want to get the book that Christopher Toilken wrote from the unfinished work of JRR Toilken... Think I will... But when to read it is a different story...

Well... the bed is calling once again... better answer its call...

bean sprouting

It has been a struggle the past 2 days... I have once again done my neck in... When will I learn that there are physical limitations to what I can do? I am walking around looking like a bean sprout... At least the arm has not gone totally useless yet... Hope it won't either... But my spirit keeps positive a and I know it is only for a season...

I would give anything to be able to straighten my neck again as it is really tiring to look at the world on its side...

Till later...

images

At the moment life seems like an image...
a play that is being staged for the audience to watch...
It has been filled with trials and tribulations...
Challenges abound...
Answers are few and far between...
But still as the old saying goes, life goes on...
I can't wait till the semester comes to an end...
Maybe not... I can't wait till all the assignments are done...
Was watching the sunset and marveling all the different colors and admiring the change
But darkness came very quickly and it was all black...
My bed is calling out to me and I will answer its call...

Retreating

Having a retreat this week has been wonderful... For starters I am able to do lots of work and reading... the brain juices have been working really hard and they are finally making connections and sparking in the right direction....

What can I say... My poor system has been under a lot of stress and strain lately... It has taken quite a few beatings to it and it is time to repair and recover... Being away from everything has helped put some perspective and light on things... I have really enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine and working away... It sure felt good to be able to do just that and enjoy nature- though I must say falling objects are not always welcomed... Have to duck them once in awhile in order to avoid being blessed...

Tomorrow is a new day and I will have new challenges to face... Got to get my analysis for EDL901 done- thank goodness it is half done as of now and have to start on the rest... Phew!

monday

Monday is here once again...

Things that get under my skin...

• people ripping pages out of the library books
• people that push their way round the supermarket literally push their way around!
• too much sunshine and not enough rain
• Why do we have to pay more for dine in as compared to take away?
• smelly rubbish bins
• air heads who have no real substance- What are they doing in a Master program?
• migraines that won't go away
• feeling sleepy all the time...
  

the weekend

It is finally here... I had a new and novel experience today... For once I took the bus that leaves from the doorstep of the village into town... I decided to use the time wisely and read my notes and readings on the bus... Maybe that was not such a great idea as it felt as if my eyeballs were about to pop out of the sockets and onto my lap...Plus by the time I got into QVB, I had motion sickness and felt really weird... Not an experience to be repeated... The highlighting on the page went anywhere and everywhere but not where it was suppose to go...

By the way... In case you were wondering... YES it was another hot day and this week all the records for highest temperatures in May have been broken.... including the highest lowest night temperature of almost 20 Degrees Celsius which happened last night!

Okie time to sleep before hitting the books again in a few hours time...

sunshine

This is suppose to be Autumn but don't think the weather agrees at the moment... It has been a week of sunshine and today had a high of 27 degrees Celsius!!! This whole week is suppose to be hot hot hot and sunny and in the twenty odd degrees days... The trees tell a different story they are all in their autum glory of all shades from red to yellow... It looks so pretty... Should try and get a photo of it sometime...

I have a mountain of books beside my study table and I need to get another mountain... Never in my life have I done so many mountains of books for my course work... This is like a first in my life.... I spend time in the library and get loads of readings...Been told by one of my lecturers that I am a risk taker... Any ideas or comments? She reckons that I don't know it yet but I am a risk taker at heart. Still pondering about that...

okie my bed is calling out for attention...
