Okhtapus and Falanj are Tatar

Been working on the project which is due on Thursday, still don't know if I'm going to make it, I mean ok I know I am cuz I always do, but this one's probably the toughest challenge ever.

That's just how I am though, in all five years of my post secondary education, I don't think I've ever finished an assignment or a project well in advance of when it was due, I always leave it to the VERY last minute.

It's funny even people who have not taken any classes with me here, and don't know me that well, tell me to shut up when I complain about the looming project and they just tell me "but you always pull it off!" I'm like, baba how do YOU know? I don't like it much when people are too confident in me, it's like they automatically expect you to do well every time, but it's always been like that.

So anyway, I don't like tea. I mean I hate tea, I've said it before. I hate almost all warm drinks cuz I already have quite a high body temperature so hot drinks make me sweat and thus I don't like them.

Now when I'm studying, I get bored really fast, specially when the project is not due in less than 24 hours. I mean I read a page or two, and I HAVE to get up and walk around the house. Now before, like in undergrad, I used to go to the kitchen and drink water (straight out of the bottle), you know, just to have done *some*thing other than studying, even if it is only for a few minutes. So I'd drink CRAZY amounts of water in exam time.

Now, here, for some reason I do the same thing except with tea. Well the reason is that I don't drink tap water and I never have bottled water at home (too heavy to carry home on foot) and drinking tea just has some sort of a good psychological effect. Like it's gonna keep me up so I can *study* and all that. But in reality, I only do it to waste time, I mean just going to the kitchen, and plugging in the kettle and getting that blackcurrent teabag and all, is time spent away from the book.

So I bring my tea, and wait til it's fairly cold, and drink it, then I study again but then I get bored and start browsing the net or something for a long time, and then I suddenly come to myself and I'm like, "ok that's it, I gotta start studying again,

... but first, I'll have tea!!!", so off to the kitchen again and the whole thing repeats.

So, eventhough I hate tea, it turns out when I have serious studying to do, I drink like 5-6 cups a day.

Oh by the way, what I said about spring being here and blah blah a few days ago, was lies, all lies. It was like -15 or something today (with wind chill), craziness.
