I haven’t received and sent so many e-mails in 24 hours as I have throughout today. I probably received about thirty and have replied about ten; 95% of them were from the company I’ve stepped up to join – all for the name of résume.

In the constant rush to give prompt replies and shoot more questions to make my tasks more clear-cut, I had never wished on having a little wind-down break for a few hours more than I did this afternoon. It was just one e-mail after the other, with further notifications given by Google on my group’s activity and recent postings.

Anyway. I guess in a way I did get my break during the evening Mandarin class I’m taking for the semester. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this but I am giving Mandarin another shot. What are the odds, hey?

I thought I’d just ramble a little here before I proceed on with the bulk of my work(s) tonight; it doesn’t look like I’m going to have a normal night anyhow. As a matter of fact I’ve just purchased my first can of Red Bull for this semester.  With a totally-trashed-by-junk-food tummy, I hope I won’t have to make it work harder by pouring concentrated doze of caffeine on top of everything else.

Cheers to another chaotic second semester; by this time next year… let’s just not go there. Not just yet, at least. Goodnight you lucky people who don’t have to slog it out this time of the year.
