Mad World

It's been a few years, maybe more, since I've failed a test so well.

I could die right now, is what I thought. I could die right now


at epping I saw a guy who was standing in front of the yellow line and the train was due to come in one minute, so I did what I normally do and looked the other way, and waited for the screams.

they didn't come, again, so I went and caught the train. The guy was still there but he was cursing at some stranger saying something or other such as I can't eat I need $65 in my bank account (with the curses omitted). I walked past, along the side, and didn't help the stranger, as usual.

It turns out he caught the same train as I saw him walking down the stairs at my stop, cursing, not to anyone but just to the world, I suppose. How sad it is that one can be reduced to having every second word a curse, I thought to myself. How ironic that is, as only an hour before I had spoken with every two in three words a swear word. The same swear word, that is, in different forms, I suppose I was cursing using polyptoton. I don't have much variety in cursing.

He sauntered the other way down the road, that is, down the road, not down the walkway. Down the road where the buses drive. As I wondered what had happened and what would happen to him, it began to rain, and I walked home in the rain, which (I keep telling you but you never believe me) is my favourite thing to do.

just notice that the last two posts have been
-man i should be studying chem its 11pm
-man i failed chem (and i know when i failed)

i woke up in the middle of the night last night and had a lot of trouble falling back to sleep. it's funny that i havent really woken up in the middle of the night in a long time, but it decides to happen as soon as i have exams.

i actually did know my stuff reasonably well, having crammed the hour before. i think it's because i didn't really know what to expect, and i wrote really slowly and thought for a long time for most of the questions. past papers might have helped. oh well. i'm guessing i'm down about 25 marks. i don't know how much the test was out of.



some things you might not know:
i paid for a new keyboard yesterday because i'm pretty spoiled, like an apple.
there are now two relatives living with us and i don't know either of them
