that's what you get when you're doing ethics when you feel like zzz-ing. lol. right now I'm just feeling hungry and sleepy, no mood to write a 1500-word long essay. so since I've done some research and collected a few articles to reference, I shall sleep early and wake up to work on it tomorrow?

BUT I STILL HAVE TO STUDY FOR MY PUBLIC HEALTH TEST!!!

oh no. *panic attack*!!! but I seriously cannot take it already. eyes are closing, can't...do...ethics...now...

so what happened today?

it rained on and off ALL DAY. apparently the pants I thought were water-resistant WEREN'T. plus the mud guard seemed useless...it's too short to cover the whole rim of the wheel. so by the time I arrived at the AIDS Foundation for the morning I was SOAKED. =(

but the highlight of the morning was hearing stories from 2 HIV positive people. it's not easy being diagnosed with an illness which is so stigmatised. and the consequences of having HIV takes a toll on your life and what you can do. need to learn how to be non-judgemental in such situations...

we did our Public Health presentations in the afternoon, and all 3 groups passed. although when the tutor made comments about our group's presentation, particularly my part (I did chance, bias and confounding), I thought I could have done better. but I knew I didn't really put in that much effort in the first place. =S oh well.

decided to scout around for waterproof pants after class. the cheapest one available in Riccarton Mall costed $49.99 from Stirling Sports and I reluctantly parted with my money. =( hopefully it'll be worth it, that I will use it and it will keep me dry.

I felt good today, didn't snack in between lunch and dinner, and only had a moderate portion of food for dinner (much reduced from my normal large amount). BUT I've been hungry since then. had an apple, then resisted Tim Tams, but gave in to 5 Meal Mates. HOW NOT TO FEEL HUNGRY AND WANT TO EAT?!?

anyway. shall be good and zzz now so that I have energy to do work tomorrow...
