You want everyone in You to shine above all

I'm just glad that God saw me through tonight and helped me finish the great feat of reading the thick, small-printed text and scientifically-technical book in 2 days. In fact, I completed about 200 pages today, which is truly a great feat. I would say, without hesitation, that it was tougher than any canoeing races or runs I've ever done. I mean it.

(Background: I have never successfully read more than 5 entire books in my life, no exaggeration. I can list them down: 1)The Earth, My Butt & Other Big Round Things, 2)The Bonesetters' Daughter, 3)Is that really You, God?, 4)Bruchko)

I told my sis, "I'm at the point where I reeaaally cannot continue anymore - reeaaally cannot do it anymore - yet I have no choice. I have to helplessly carry on. Its beyond crying."

She replied, "Welcome to Uni life. Did you think I enjoyed staying up to 6am to finish my papers?"

I must learn to adapt.
Darwinian theory of life - swim or sink.

P.S: I am very surprised that at the unearthly hour of 4.42am, I logged into MSN after completing my very long book review on Richard Dawkins' The Extended Phenotype and three people talked to me! Even on normal days during normal hours, people don't talk to me generally. Of late, I've noticed this trend of people staying up reeaaally late on MSN, and only talking after 2am.
