Registering later and later hours in this pseudo-semester break. Too much to do. =(

Intended to finish profile partially at least, tonight, but that is a tad too ambitious, considering I spent 3 hours transcribing a 20 minute interview (It was that short? But we talked for ages! Then again we chatted about lots of random stuff also, eheheh.)

Was genuinely glad for the interview though... that must be like the longest chat I've ever had with my neighbour (hour plus?) and she's uber nice and easy to talk to. New friend! :)

Would like to start listing my assignment deadlines again, but then it just occurred to me that I probably should go and conk out, and you really don't want the last thought that lingers in your mind before you sleep to be work. It results in very tiring dreams. Past few nights I have been doing extra interviews and write-ups in my dreams, which is such a waste of energy, blah.

To bed!

(And then plan presentation outline, and profile outline, and study for a test, and research for term paper, and...)

YAYYYY my interviewee replied! In no more than two days! I remember bolting straight up in bed on the morning of 大年初一, thinking crap CRAP! It's new year and I haven't sent out a request for an interview... hello Charm you big fat procrasinator, you don't have a lotta time, and neither do other people... what happened to giving your interviewee at least one to two weeks' notice?

Yes I know, what a start to a new year. I really shouldn't keep scaring myself like that, no good for health. Thank God Auntie S is super nice and startlingly prompt (*pokes self* that is what a journalist should be like, Charm, please remember) and her friendly informal reply to my diplomatic email (goodness, I was agonising over the tone of the email itself, because I'd felt so awkward making the request) set me a lot more at ease *relief* She even asked if I wanted to pop by early this week after she returns from work, if I'm in a hurry... but I had to decline lar, can't be so inconsiderate... but it's so thoughtful of her anyhow. (Again, Charm, please learn) Am kinda glad I got round to asking her :)

Okay, now that I have registered my joy I really must run and finish up the rest of the assignments and presentation/essay plans and research, which have been collectively looming in my thoughts throughout the festive season. That said... Happy New Year, folks :)

PS. A quick survey, so I can visualise general reader interest for the article... what questions would you want to ask, or what subjects would be of interest to you, in a profile about a ST Life journalist/editor? Drop me a couple of suggestions, if any, in my comments box, okay? Thanks a bunch :)
