OMG I can't believe that I didn't know there was a season 8 of 24. I then remembered that I hadn't actually watched the last 2 episodes of season 7....but to be honest they were kinda spolit when I found out that there was a season 8 because I realised that Jack Bauer wouldn't actually die from the radiation poisoning.
God I love that show. Definitely the best thing on TV for me. I am absolutely lovey this season of Ugly Betty as well - easily one of the funniest that they've come up with.
And if it wasn't enough that there's a new season of 24, I found out from someone's facebook status that the new season of Project Runway has started as well!! Double whammy!!!
So I shall be nursing my cold at home today while watching online TV and doing the cleaning.
Just the way you should be spending a Sunday!

Rough Rough Rough
I'm on the blocked/runny nose phase of the cold. And the cough is on the verge of breaking out as well.
All my work colleagues are sick as well. It's quite amusing to listen to all the sniffing and sneezing going on...almost in turn! LOL! Even though I wasn't teaching today, I was mad busy on a tidying mission - which I still didn't get to finish. I think the constant breaks to stop and chat might have had something to do with it!!
I've been seeing pictures of this Texas Burger (MacDonalds) all over the place, so today I decided to try one. Not impressed - I thought it was pretty gross actually and our breath smelt so FUNKY after eating it. Does anyone actually like those things?! Ergh!
もうー....I feel so rough.

And It's Here
I haver felt a cold coming on for ages. As more and more kids come to school coughing, sneezing and being gross everywhere, I knew it was only a matter of time before I caught something.
And now it's coming.
At least I don't have to actually teach any classes over the next couple fo days. But I'm still gonna be mad busy doing a whole load of other stuff. Argh....my head hurts.
How the hell do you get rid of stomach fat!??!?! I have been doing crunches every day, I'm hitting the gym 4 times a week - OK I may have been a bit slack on that over the last couple of weeks, but still - and I haven't had any doughnuts at all this week. Other cake, but no doughnuts.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Especially ones that don't involve cutting out the sweet stuff! LOL!

頑張ろう！！！
Seeing how a friend of mine busted her arse studying for level 2 of the Eiken exam (which was yesterday), has really given me a kick to get stuck into my own studying. Even though she has failed (she showed me the question paper and asked me to mark it...and she totally failed), she's sprung right back and is making a hardcore study plan so that she will be fully prepared to take the test again in the summer.
Man, I wish I had that level of self discipline. I was sposed to study today but I forgot I had some lesson planning to do and it's taking way longer than I thought. My 2kyuu Kanji cards arrived yesterday and there is just so much to learn. But thinking about my friend...she may not have the horrific working hours that I do but she certainly makes the time to study...because she really wants this.
Just like I really badly need to get this this year. I need it to get myself out of teaching...it's been a good ride but at the end of the day it just isn't what I want to do. It's definitely getting to the point where I want to be trying something else. It's just a long, long process...but at least if I have my 2kyuu i can do something different while I'm in the process of getting the career that I want, you know.
Back to the lesson planning.

Early Riser
Even though I don't start work until 2pm today, I still woke up at 9am.
Because if I didn't, I woudn't actually be able to do anything with my day. I have to catch the train at 12.20 to make sure that I get in on time (a ghastly, ghastly commute involving 2 transfers and a bus ride) so in retrospect, I still don't have that much time in the morning to do the things that I need to do.
And on top of that I'm absolutely knackered. I did not sleep well last night - at all. I'm not even sure why - I was in bed a little earlier than usual.I have a friend staying and he was knocked out because of jetlag and the fact that we'd been out for the best part of the day. And my eyes couldn't take any more studying so I went to bed as well. But now I feel like I've only had a few hours sleep because I woke up so early.
Speaking of studying, I bought some study books for the 2kyuu exam yesterday. And my God, I have got such a long way to go! I took a quick browse at the kanji section of last year's test, and of the 40 questions, I could only answer 6! But in all fairness, I haven't studied for it yet, so I think you can forgive me for that! I can't really start on a lot of them until I review the 3kyuu grammar, vocab and kanji and at least learn some of the 6000 words I need to learn! LOL!! It's mad scary and I'm really not sure that I can do it.
Hmmmm...
Think I might grab a quick 10 minute nap before I have to put on my make up and leave for work.

Ugly Betty
I finally got a chance today to catch up with my online TV shows. I haven't seen anything for months!
And man, the end of the newest episode of Ugly Betty had me in tears!!!
Saying goodbye is something that we've all had to do so many times and trying to say goodbye to people that you really care about always stings, no matter how many times you've had to do it.
I had a really good natter with my friend in London yesterday. I hadn't spoken to her for ages and it was really, really great to catch up. We went to school together, we went to the same uni and we've lived together, had awesome house parties together, spent 4/5NYE together, partied hard together...you know there's always someone that you just feel so comfortable with? She's definitely one of those people.
I hope I get to see her this year.....where and when, I don't know, but I hope it happens!!
Miss you girl.

Ouch!
I've done something to my knee!
It really hurts when I walk, go up and down stairs and when I kneel down. So that rules out me going to the gym today. I feel bad because I haven't been for a week! I hate throwing money away. But it's just not worth the risk of going and making it worse.
But it's OK - I have a lot of clearing up to do before my friend arrives!!! I can't believe how fast time flies - it feels like yesterday that he said he's booked his flight back here and now it's like OMG he's gonna be here in a few hours. Crazy!
Anyone else feel that January is like the slowest month of the year? It's absolutely dragging by and I remember feeling the same way last year. LOL I'm having one of those days where I start doing something and then start doing a billion other things at the same time without actually finishing anything.
Hope you're having a more productive Sunday than me!

And It Happened Again
Even though I got home in time to walk to the gym, I just couldn't go.
I'm exhausted.
That's the third time this month I haven't gone. I always feel guilty because I pay so much every month and to not go to my classes seems like I'm throwing my money down the drain.
But I figured that it was better to do that than to collapse or something during in a class. I never would've made it through 1hr 20mins of aerobics tonight - it's my favourite class because it's fast, energetic, and the instructor uses way better music than the others. So feeling the way I did when I walked through the door, I just decided to relax at home by myself. Which is probably a good thing because I will have a friend staying with me for a while so it's nice to have the place to myself.
So tired.
