When you’re running on caffeine everything seems to be going slow. Things like trains (especially if you’re late), computers, lifts, the people in front of you, EVERYTHING!

I have been in fast forward mode since Monday. I have been running on coffee, nicotine and some chocolate. Amazing what caffeine and sugar overdose can do to you. The bad thing is that sometimes lectures are boring and when you’re all hyper you can actually feel your face melting off.

My clumsiness has also reached extreme new high standards. This is another thing that coffee does to me. All this floor and I put the chair down on my toe. But this is also combined with my incredible bad luck. For instance I was trying to format a friend’s hard drive and re-install Windows on it. The formatting took 48 hours; we have only just finished re-installing all the drivers for his hardware. So wrong timing to do something like that and spend all this time just on one task. Who said that men can’t multi-task? Of course we can! It’s just that most of the times we’re too lazy to do one thing, let alone 4 things at the same time.

Laundry week starts tomorrow. I have done no laundry for so long that there is no other way to cope; a laundry day just isn’t enough!

I have been trying to write my CV for the past 2 weeks with no luck. I can’t sell anything, so selling something like me will be very hard. I couldn’t sell myself to save my life! This however is supposed to be the easy part. I will soon (as soon as I finish with the CV) be applying for placement jobs. That is what really frightens me. At least my results from last year are good.
