Food cravings to stem the tide of stress.

Sigh. I really have nothing much in life to look forward to at the moment. It's just more work in school, more work at home, and more work on the weekends. The workload's endless. And it doesn't help that so many people seem to understand the law better than me...at least for LAWR. And it doesn't help that i haven't been taking notes for Legal Theory and am filled with dread when the open book test comes about and i come into the examination room with just the original materials in its unaltered glory. And it also doesn't help that i've been neglecting Criminal Law and Contract Law except on the day before seminars and tutorials.

I can't think of anything in the near future that i could do to stuff some enjoyment into my life and break the monotony and dreariness of law school, because it'll just take far too much time and i always feel guilty afterwards.

Well...except for food i suppose. I'm starting to realise that i, too, can succumb to food cravings. Lol. It's mostly fast food cravings, but all in all, when i'm feeling totally stressed out in school, i'd think of going somewhere to buy something nice to eat, which would at least make me look forward to SOMETHING for the day. Lacking that, i'd just look forward to dinner, because at least dinner's a period where i'm not obliged to study or do any work or research. And when i'm totally stressed out at home at night, i'd set aside a little time to go out of the house to get a hot crispy chicken pie from Polar or something...which would make the night of work a little more tolerable and fun.

The plan for tonight (meaning yesterday night since it's nearly 4AM now) was supposed to be McDonald's Delivery...i've been having a burger craving for some time because of school stress...it started with an urgent need for a HotShots Burger that couldn't be fully satisfied with a trip to Carls Jr when i went down to Lau Par Sat with Coco only to realise that HotShots was closed. I was looking forward to getting a plain double-cheeseburger or something like that tonight, but i decided somehow to finish at least a third of my Legal Theory readings first, and i then made the call to McDonald's Delivery at 3:48AM...and it turns out that they stop delivering dinner at 3:45AM so, because i was 3 minutes late, i can only order breakfast.

What the. I never knew that the dinner delivery stopped at 3:45AM. Argh. So much for a nice break from work. But i suppose that the illusion of getting a cheeseburger later on served its purpose of helping me get through the day yesterday. Oh my freaking goodness, now i'm employing strategies to trick myself into feeling better...

Sigh. All this talk about food...if i keep up this sort of lifestyle, there's a slim possibility that i might get fat somewhere down the road. Well. Anyway, my stomach's growling, and i'm not in the mood to make anything at the moment. I guess i'll just go guzzle some milk.

Again.

Small update.

Hmm, okay, i'll just spend a few minutes on this.

What's been going on in my life:

My printer woes continue: Not long after i praised my Canon printer, it went bust. The problems started off with the paper unable to load in, and after i fixed that problem, the print head burnt out. So in the end, i had to buy a new printer. :\ Sigh ahwell, at least that printer lasted a few years. I'm installing the new printer now actually. Sigh it's quite a waste of time though...time better spent on Legal Theory!

I had a few house parties over the holidays: Yep, holidays; i had a one week break errr 3 weeks ago. During this period of time i played some poker, studied Criminal Law and tried making certain foods and learnt about this awesome card game called Citadel.

I had two weeks of hell: a Criminal Law take-home assignment and another LAWR memorial to hand in ensured that my two weeks immediately after the holidays were just plain horrible. I banned myself from all games except for Phoenix Wright (meaning i threw my Puzzle Fighter, Chess, and Street Fighter Alpha 3 hobbies out the window) and still had to skip two lectures and a seminar just to complete my work on time. On the second last day of that two week hell, Coco suddenly noticed that i had sprouted a few strands of white hair from out of nowhere.

Sigh...the LAWR workload is just too much. It's only a four credit course, but people are spending more time on it than any other course, and i blame it on the competitiveness in Law School and the fact that our LAWR tutors keep giving us assignments and homework as if their subject's the only subject we have to do any work for. Which is rather true...the work for the other subjects don't count for our final grade. Still, i'd like to have less homework so that i could prepare for class and stuff like that...i get a feeling that i'm slowly falling behind on the other subjects, and i'm only going to realise it when the exams come around...sigh maybe i should stop worrying...there're only so many hairs to turn white. Oh well, time to enjoy the one week reverie before work speeds up again.

Oh yeah and i tried to make kimchi and beer-battered fish and chips: Kimchi turned out to be too salty, and beer-battered fish and chips tasted different...i think the oil used was wrong, because i could still taste it after the deep-frying. Maybe i should fry my french fries first before frying the fish in the future.

Anyway, i've gotta end here; people are chasing me down for dinner.
