1:38 am
When you are two sleeps away from eight exams, it is generally not a good idea to be thinking about anything else other than the content of those exams. Nor is it a good idea to be blogging. Or staying up late. But I am doing exactly all of these things.
I keep thinking...about the future, about God, about certain people, about how I will never think up a postmodernist short story in time for Thursday.
And what have I been doing with the past few days/weeks?
Well for one thing...I have gotten hopelessly addicted to the piano. I mean, even more than I was before. And the one piece I fear all the neighbours must be sick of by now: Chopin's Nocturne in C sharp minor. Jason (younger bro) does not like the sound of trills being executed. Whatever. Chopin is officially my favourite composer. (At least for the moment.)
Oh yes and - the house is officially back to perfectly livable state!! Better than before and I am
ever so grateful to once again have my own room. I didn't like living in the hotel that much. Having to spend weeks on end without a chance to be alone - not easy. And there was no piano. There was the gym though, which was cool, but it is no substitute for your own room and an accessible piano.
Bad part about renovations being over: the stairs are no longer carpeted, as I am used to having them. The wood is terribly unforgiving with its sharp edges....I have fallen twice already. Bruises and scrape marks and cracked toenails. Very. Painful.
Ahhh no it is 2am! Not good!!
Before I go I shall leave you with a verse that has been sticking with me:
"A man's life is not his own...it is not for man to direct his steps." (Jeremiah something)
I just found that quite a confronting reminder.
Goodnight!
