As I count it, there are now less than 7 weeks until the Easter holiday. This, no doubt, is a long haul (and I'm sure I'll be taking several sickies along the way - just to make it bearable) and then 4 weeks after that until we finish school. Everything seems to be passing by very fast (good), and on the negative - everything seems to be passing by very fast.

JiSun's 18th next Friday. I feel left behind! What with a tiny mental age and a tiny real age it's like I'm the stunted dwarf of the group. Not to mention the problems with Michelle - honestly didn't expect everything to turn out so badly with her (she can't ignore us forever, can she?) and for sure, I picked a bad time, for sure now she STILL doesn't realise the extent of the problem....but I tried. And mostly failed. Damn.

So a weekend to be spent in, the Bruder arrives in Hong Kong in about an hour, so 2 hours until he gets back. Still to deposit funds into Eleanor's dying bank account, and French coursework, and English coursework, and psychology notes to make...ahh, how this life sucks.

"C'est l'histoire d'un mec qui tombe d'un immeuble de cinquante �tages; au fur et � mesure de sa chute il se r�p�te sans cesse pour se rassurer: jusqu'ici tout va bien, jusqu'ici tout va bien, jusqu'ici tout va bien. Mais l'important, c'est pas la chute...c'est l'atterrissage." Le film - "La Haine"

"It's the story of a guy who falls from the 50th floor of a building and as he falls, to reassure himself, he repeats: at the moment everything is fine, at the moment everything is fine, at the moment everything is fine. Because it doesn't matter how you fall... it's how you land." The Hatred/Hate, our horrible, gory, arty French film of the moment.
