Wheee.

I don't know what to blog about, but I feel like I should.

I feel a little silly and quite happy. I've been thinking about a certain person a lot, even to the point that I couldn't sleep for days because I kept giggling and smiling and tossing around in my bed all night.

Yep. I'm crazy. I admit it.

I get to meet him tomorrow. Yay.

In the meantime, I should write. And then write some more. The deadline for my Liverpool presentation is next Thursday, so that's only one week. Then there's the lit essay that I can't even start writing because I haven't finished the readings yet. I should also write two papers about North America for a nice old gentleman who called me his "aging student".

I also haven't finished the paper on cross-cultural psychology in business and management. Lastly, I have to write my BA thesis. I wrote my MA thesis almost three years ago, and now I have to make an abbreviated version of it.

My life is a little weird sometimes. I'm weird, too, as a teacher of mine keeps telling me. Though we agreed that we're no longer a teacher and student but male-friend and female-friend.

I'm going to post later about my supercool new mouse and my experience with the brand new Windows 7. Stay tuned.

The new me.

This week I've been cleaning and tidying a lot. Can you believe that? I washed my balcony floor for the first time since I've been living here! And that's been six years!! I haven't finished washing the tarp, it's so dirty I'm going to save some dirt for the rest of the week.

But since the floor is clean, I laid a plastic red and white carpet on it and set a chair to sit on. Now I feel like my apartment is a little bigger. I like walking to the balcony to sit for a minute and jumping up and fetching something from "indoors". When it was +28 celsius on Sunday, it was cooler outside, even though the door was open all day and night. Sweet.

I also washed the windows today. The outmost one was completely stuck, so I had to use a knife and a hammer to get it open. Only took me half an hour... but how nice to see everything in colour again! I'm sure no one will mind that the window frame crumbled a little and the paint got chipped off at places. This place is falling apart anyway.

And since I pushed over the cleanser bottle on my mouse mat, I finally washed it too. And since I had to look for my window key in my closet, I rearranged the closet while I was at it.

Cleaning is kinda fun and therapeutic once you get down to it. Once I get started on something, it starts snowballing from there. I like having a (relatively) clean and orderly apartment.

I've spent an insane amount of lotions this week on my hands and arms. Thankfully my mum gets plenty of those for free as perks of the job.
