Unhealthiness

I just did a couple of hours of chinese (its amazing how much time it can take up when you must check up virtually every single word in the dictionary). Thats still ok

But then in these couple of hours I ate a lot of unhealthy stuff. Definitely on the road to diabetes and hypertension if i'm not careful (CHOY)

The verse in the blog has never applied more to me in my life than now, when everything is just closing down... quite suffocating really... pressure from so many areas. I really need strength from God to just struggle through these last two weeks, and push all negative thoughts and influences to the back of my mind, treat this exam as "just another job".

It seems almost a pity to sleep nowadays... I used to love to sleep, but now its like wasting time you could be using for doing chinese, or playing computer, talking to friends, or to be simply awake thinking about fencing and the like.... my goodness I'm at a time of my life when thinking gives satisfaction

And then again there is the occasional escape from the pressures of school life like today's sortie to KFC after their OGL interview.... Oh by the way, I found a new science songs site while they were being interviewed.... fun...
