Girl, cheated...

To those who lives around the SS2 area, or better, in SS2 itself, is bound to know this place called Novel House. For those who don't, Novel House is a bookshop which offers customers to rent books for a period of time. And because of the most recent project my groupmates and I embarked on, I had purchased a book to find out how the shop owner prices the books. I only rented a kids' book just for the fun of it.
But I delayed in returning the book because I wanted to read it, it was rather interesting. Then, about a few days later, I went back to return the book, but found the place close. On the metal shutters was a note with the words "Sorry, Closed Today".
I then came back another day. Still closed, but this time without a note. I thought it was the usual day off or something.
But after that, I came back everyday to return the book but the shop was never open! I got cheated! Damn it! Argh! I want my money back!!
Somehow makes me feel like returning the book to another Novel House in USJ Taipan...hmm...maybe I should. Its still Novel House, right? What do you think?

Anyway, this is, by far, my most stressful week(we'll wait for next week to come and see). As much as the February 2006 UTS first year students know, exam just around the corner of the second building down the next lane so everyone's (or almost) noses are seen stucked in books. That's my usual result from my morning "sightseeing" around the campus. Somehow those stress vibes seem to be rubbing off on me. Sadly to say, I'm still jolly-hopping around and indulging in personal pleasure like watching tv and playing games and shaking legs while reading a nice mystery novel somewhere in a corner of my room...

Feeling guilty, but I have to admit I can never put my full concentration 100% when studying in the library. The computers are distraction number 1, being placed at the most strategic area which is a few metres after you pass the library entrance. So, without fail, the first thing you'd see in the library is the computer, not the books or the people or even anything fancy that may come across as a clownsuit.

Therefore, these days, all I want to do is avoid the library. Study at home, in the wee hours, where my house will FINALLY be quiet. But its been disturbing my stomach of late. Like...no appetite all of a sudden, and stomachache. >< Maybe I should get the 8 hours of decent sleep before I end up being sick even before the finals. Sigh...

By the way, went into this place called Walk-In Rent-A-Book one day in SS2. Was checking it out because of my group assignment. Found this books written by Sue Townsend. Yay! Was looking for those books since secondary school! But one book is like RM20, and there's a couple of books she wrote. Sigh...I guess 3 months will be more than enough to read two books after the looooooooooooooooooong holidays after the finals. Feel like working again, miss working life somehow, but it can get abit robotic after a while. I mean, everyday you come and do the same thing over and over again. Compared to school life, its more flexible and sometimes you can just goof off and avoid trouble. Wahahaha~

Oh well, shall go study now or I'll be digging me own grave...probably there will be a ranting post when my stress level reaches to the point of hell.
