the precursor procrastination post

My time management is totally effed up. I thought I had all the time in the world on Friday and Saturday to spread out the work I had to do over the weekend. In the end I had to do both AT and AFA projects on Sunday, and left myself at an unnecessary state of panic.

Why do I do this to myself? Goodness. Finally watched Spidey and I have to say I preferred the second movie, but the Green Goblin is just hot. C'mon, he's way cooler than Tobey (who's suffering from receding hairline! Eeeeps! That's all I kept seeing everytime his mask came off).

Ate copious amount of Jap food on Sat. Ichiban for lunch with Yang, Zhi and Isa - the Bath crowd. Then kake soba for dinner with fam. That was my first time eating soba (you may call me a mon-tain tortoise) and... well, it was so-so. Didn't really like tasting wheat in my noodle, but the clear salty soup made up for it.

... I can't believe my AFA submission and AT presentation is this Friday, yet I'm yearning to read Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot. Short of physically burning all my notes and texts, I am pretty darn set to break that procrastinating record.

In the midst of all the procrastination, I was lucky enough to discover where I'm headed and what I really want. Its strange how philosophical answers just pop into your head when you're eating kinder bueno. Anyways. I've come to the realization that relationships are tiring, even the unofficial ones. I'm not sure I need to be weighed down by the emotional baggage of some fella. Where am I heading? I guess I'm going to be a 'career-minded man', to quote a friend. I want to live comfortably, share relaxed joy with friends. The frustration and complication that the opposite sex give are like decoys detracting away from the road to success.

Aye. Maybe I shouldn't be saying this with nary an internship in sight. I'd better get the next one I applied to. If I can help it I'm not going to let someone take this one from me. Cue war paint & battle cry!
