it's been a whirlwind of activity and suddenly one week's over again. the usual rushing to do at least some of my readings, attending of classes, groupwork, helping at the court...i think the family court is such a sad place. and most of the time i have nothing to do there, but even when i do i can't seem to help much, which makes me sadder. but i'm half-glad i signed up to help out. i think law school has made me forget why i chose to go there in the first place. now i remember, but that doesn't make studying any less tough. sigh.
also, lately i've been having the weirdest dreams, and i get jolted awake at the most awful parts because it becomes too awful to continue dreaming about it. and the weird thing is that i actually remember them long after sleep has faded. which makes me feel vaguely disturbed for the rest of the day, 'cause the memory of the dream just flutters at the back of my mind, like something at the corner of your eye, but when you turn to look at it it moves out of your direct line of vision again.
days like these i'm thankful i live in tiny singapore sheltered from major disasters. the massive death tolls, richter scale, plate tectonics, etc. we learnt back in geog class just does not hold as much impact as seeing a 30-second video of everything being swept away by waves and sludge. and offices rocked by earthquakes toppling in on themselves. i hope for the best for everyone in the countries affected by the massive earthquake and the tsunamis. please let people and their families be safe.
sigh, what is this world coming to. revolutions, wars, disasters. sometimes i wonder why we are put on this earth to suffer.
