Eating Rocks

I confess, i'm supposed to study instead of blog. BUT! I'm on my break. It's a valid one k? After flipping through 5 books looking for examples, i realised that Google is still my best bet. Hail Google...*yays tiredly*

Anyway, i borrowed this book called "Reading the Rocks: The Autobiography of the Earth" it really opened my eyes (like my geological eyes aren't opened enough) to many things in geology that i can explore. I had an geological epiphany. We take the Earth for granted and it's really an amazing set of coincidences and self-regulating systems that makes life possible here. "Nothing is permanent (reference to rock, atmo and bio cycles) and precisely because of this, everything is eternal." deep stuff.

So before i bore my readers with the details, maybe i should head back to actual work. Not that i don't want to. It's just that everytime i flip open those geological books, they are filled with equations, and they don't apply to my geomorphology exam =( i know my lecturer will understand, but i also don't want to give him a head-spin.

Sometimes, u lose focus on what you want. However, reading back on my posts on "The Struggle to Imperial" makes me re-charged and reminds me of the ultimate goal. It makes me feel better too albeit the fact that i have to start to learn how to differentiate again (yes,u need math) =)

My mum's going to move to Econ Nursing home (Econ? see? the irony.) as of next week after her check up at TTSH. We're hoping the tracheostomy can be done away with. Afterwhich, my dad wants to wait until Renci gives him a reply and the cost of putting my mum in the community hospital before he decided whether to bring my mum home for good or not.

I hate it when things are in suspension (hahaha...see? another chem/geog pun). But for now, i still get to say good night to my mum. It's a bittersweet thing. One on hand, u know she's not getting the best care at home, but on the other hand, putting her at the com hospital means u can't see her as often.

Oh yes, my uncle is being as patronising as ever. F him.
