Gone

Well it's that time of the year again, kids... the grey limbo between the end of exams and the beginning of holidays.. well at least for kids who leave the province to spend their days at home.
Good god, I'm glad to be done my exams and papers... The last 3 days or so was spent on roughly 7 hours of sleep in total... Monday was rather hellish... with 2 exams, and a paper that I didn't get done on time. I took a 2 hour nap from writing my 20 page paper around 10-midnight the night before, and started cramming for my two exams, and basically kept going strong all night long, and during my exams (even though I started dosing at the very end of the first one (which was alright, because I was pretty much done with it), and then after that, had some dinner, at went back at my paper again. Sorta passed out around 8:30ish on my bed until 11:27pmand I was so confused, as I had litttle recollection of even going to my bed, and as to what day it was, and whether I was screwed for my 2 papers. Katie had also passed out in her own room, and as a result, we didn't get a chance to have dinner. I had some chinese delivery leftovers, which was decent enough, and then kept writing my paper again, all through the night, sustainaing myself on a bowl of instant noodles, and aroundd 9:30am, when I put a pillow at my desk and slumped over until 11:30 in the morning. I finished paper #1 around noonish, had a yoghurt for lunch, and then attacked paper #2 with mucho gusto! Paper 2 was one of the smoothest writing papers I've had in such a long time. At least a year and a half, if not more. I finished that 4 pager in roughly 2 and a half to 3 hours. Then I went to hand them in, borrowing kind Paul's use of his bike (permission due to absence, gotta love it!), and got paper #2 in at the nick of time (4:26 for a 4:30 paper), and paper #1, well, not so in the nick of time. (1 day late... sigh)
Then I came home, collapsed in the hallway for 5 minutes, and then me and Katie went christmas shopping (for each other, tut tut), so that was fun, and then we went to curry in a hurry to sit down and eat non-hurriedly, and yum. such good curry. And our waiter Tim was a hilarious dude. Probably one of the most laid back people i've met. I think if I was working, I'd feel compelled to act all like professional and stuff, but this guy, he just made people feel at home, and made me feel like I was going to someone's house for dinner, except for the fact that we had to order food from a menu, and pay for them... haha.
The bookstore was next in line... Macondo books. a fun store. One of those homely ones typified by chaos. and kinda hard to find stuff, but full of good stuff.
After that, we went back to our townhouse, and cleaned our rooms and Katie packed, as well as wrapping our presents for each other. hehe, so silly. It's kinda sad that Christmas gift exchanges always have to happen according to exam schedules... and I wonder if we'll ever to actually spend an actual christmas together. *sigh* Well, time will tell. and ooh ooh, she got me a chibi-remote control car! It's so tiny and cute! I wish it had a better way of recharging though... it uses 6 friggin batteries! yeesh! but it's fun! I enjoy it.

And now, after I finish write this, I wish I could burst through her doors and see her sitting on her bed, just to see her smile and tell her something completely random, but I can't. The door's locked now, and she's gone home for the holidays, and I'll have to be content with being in my own room. She's only been gone for an hour, and already I feel like there's something missing. I guess that happens when you spend all your time together, you get so used to each other's presence that you feel like one unified person. and now it feels like i'm missing half of myself.
And it rather hurts.
I guess it would if you were missing half of yourself.
Who would have thought, huh?
I hope that Katie will be okay... Rough news today...
She must feel like she's missing two halves of herself...

"Good night, sweet princess, and may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest"
Bye Ittybittykitty... you were sneezy, but you were a good kitty.
