Let me rephrase, my ferry tickets were already booked thus i was compelled to go in order not to waste the tickets. Hence, i packed my bags, my laptop with the internet browser open with my tabs and my whole stack of notes. Yes, I was planning to study in Bintan at the villa. Idealistic i might be, i guess it was more like a comfort blanket.
The first thing i noticed when i finally settled down at the villa was that i wasn't going to get much work done. Why? My laptop had failed me. It had to be rebooted and there goes all my tabs. Thus, i couldn't do my presentation slides without the tabs! The cost of $20 for tapping into the internet at the villa deterred me. Perhaps i wasn't that desperate. Perhaps i was looking for an excuse. Perhaps i was resigned to my fate. haha
Nonetheless, i am back from my short trip across the small sea and Monday has passed. It wasn't all too bad despite the lack of sleep. I'll survive. Then again, i'm still lagging on my readings which i could have caught up over the break and i've 2 other deadlines approaching this week of which i found out about 1 only yesterday. Oh my shit. We all have to pay for our fun yes?
