All the irritating things

constantly searching for a way to describe my day, if i may, i shall express today. in terms of well, the title says it all. i would do a happy one if i could bring myself to write about happy stuff. but i couldnt. so. the irritating things about my day.

1) Blocked/runny nose
consider the following situation. you have a blocked/runny nose. u have to constantly inhale sharply to keep the mucus from leaking out of your nose (i apologize for this, and any other VITs that may occur to you during the course of reading this post, even if theres no reason for them to). however, if u suck too hard ur left ear gets blocked. which becomes more irritating than your nose. so u have to pinch your nose and blow through it to unblock your ear. but that brings u back to square 1, cos the mucus would be back where it started. well thats basically the situation i was in for most of lit lesson and maths lecture.

2)Mocas golden Ball
Moca had a golden ball, he left it in the hall. no, thats not right. somehow he managed to leave one of his balls (well the one he brought to school) in an unspecified location somewhere in the canteen. having realized that he had left his ball behind only after he had gone for lesson he entrusted weiren with the task of entrusting me and wangting(wangting and i, but i dont care, im so self centered i have to put myself first) with the task of searching for his missing ball. of course i was not very happy with my lunch being interrupted. however i felt obligated to search for it, lest moca (and someone else, maybe) slaughter me for abandoning his golden spherical thing. anw after combing the canteen twice weiren msged me again and asked me to look under the tables. how his ball got under a table i have no idea. anw i found it next to where wangting was talking to his friend, apparently enquiring about the lost ball. how he could miss something so big i have no idea either. anw end of story. now im taking out my irritation by testing my rhyming prowess in writing about it. refer to first sentence. anything else is completely your imagination.

3) The maths lecturer's voice.
it gets to me after awhile. oh and her talking to her laptop screen.

4) KMnO4.
What can i say. i actually like the nice purple colour when its extremely diluted. however when concentrated its the colour of a bruise (sort of, anw). and then when it splashes onto stuff it turns the colour of ointment =/. things that got stained include my calculator, my hand and lots of toilet paper. i dont know if its the incessant splashing of the KMnO4, or the fact that i had to redo the preperation of the standard solution cos 250 cubic centimeters of water/acid wasnt enough to dissolve 1 gram of KMnO4, but i got damn agitated during the titration. that feeling where you feel like pulling out ur hair, or whacking something, or slamming down ur conical flask and walking out of class. and you know you cant perform delicate operations, such as dropwise addition of titrant while OA is evaluating u.

and thats just about everything irritating today. not that much really =/.
