23.08.2003 – Saturday 23 August

• I had to study for my Monday exam, but I didn’t end up doing much study. Somehow, other things kept happening, I washed my sheets, Joe cleaned the room opposite me, I kept putting it off, and then, at the last minute when I had just started to seriously study, Joe wanted some scratchies, so I drove down to the local newsagent, but they were closed. I drove to the other local newsagent and they were closed too. I returned home, and Joe told me where another, less local, newsagent was, so I drove there and got them. Joe then ordered some “Chinese” for me, vegetarian noodles – which were quite nice, and we ate them. I ended up staying up late, which was a stupid thing to do. I didn’t even have any real point to stay up, and should have been studying. Tomorrow I plan to go to the latest ABC Classic FM concert, which will mean I won’t get much time to study in the morning, especially after staying up so late. I guess I will have to make an effort to come home a bit earlier than usual to study. I’m stressed now.
