same old workplace, same people but different feelings

No classes on Monday today but I still had a bit of Monday blue! :S

Perhaps because I stayed up late over the past few days after broadband had become available (more internet, more downloads!), I tended to get up late as well. Today was not bad - I woke up around 8:30 a.m. I didn't need to rush as I had no class. But I had to finish the draft of the anthology :( It was due today but I still haven't finished it. I forgot most of the interview data. Also, it's not easy to organize the data in a way that 'has high impact' as requested by the funding body! No one gave me support indeed. The MMU professor asked me to work with another lecturer who was one of the team members for the project but that lecturer seemed to be too busy to reply to my email. My former supervisor, who I asked to help contact the worker that coordinated the group that I had interviewed before, didn't reply to me after I had replied to her previous email and the worker didn't turn up this afternoon. :S I couldn't talk to the group and I couldn't ask the worker for any photo that I might put into the anthology. Looks like I have to do the anthology on my own. Stress...

The blood test results were 'normal'. When I still hadn't heard anything from the clinic by this afternoon, I knew they wouldn't bother to call me when the results were 'normal'. But one of the items on the report was 'high' and my skin itch problem still persists while I found another health problem/question. I wonder when all these health problems will stop? Or is it all because of my stress/mental state? :S

Finally we got a new hoover. I collected it from the agent office. I didn't know we had to assemble its parts. It was easy though. The new hoover seems quite 'strong' and I don't get used to such a strong hoover yet :p

I went back to one of my workplace in the afternoon for the anthology. I was a bit nervous when going there. Fortunately only a few colleagues of mine were there and I got to see two of them only. One of them is facing the same visa problem as I did and we had a good chat about studying and working. She suggested working in the Chinese restaurants should be quite good. Perhaps I'm too obedient to law? It seems people around me are trying different ways (not so right/ethical/legal) to get around the same visa problem..

Lunch: chicken breast with broccoli, mushroom & courgette
Simple dish is the best!

The new hoover!! 



Dinner: pasta with minced pork & spinach in tomato & mediterranean sauce
I didn't cook it well. The sauce seems a bit strange. =_='
