I totally blew off yesterday! =P Instead of studying like the good girl I'm supposed to be, I went out with uni mates and completely wasted 24 hours. Heh. Oh well. To atone for the sins of the mugger, I woke up at 5:45 am this morning to start on revision. Pretty sleepy now but it should get better as the day progresses. I was reading and came upon this passage from the book, full of angst but it does contain some solid truths:

"Star light, star bright... we look up and we hope that the stars look down, we pray that there may be stars for us to follow, stars moving across the heavens and leading us to our destiny, but it's only our vanity. We look at the galaxy and fall in love, but the universe cares less about us than we do about it, and the stars stay in their courses however much we may wish upon them to do otherwise. It's true that is you watch the sky-wheel turn for a while you'll see a meteor fall, flame and die. That's not a star worth following; it's just an unlucky rock." -Salman Rushdie

Ouch. Brutal...just the way I like it!!! =)
