Journey to the Past

My trip to the library was so exciting! Went to look up some documents that might be able to help some with my assignment, but, that took me on a mini tour around the various libraries in Uni! =p haha! Went to the Hargrave Andrew one, and then to the St Lois Matherson one! Those book trails sent me on journeys to the storage room and even to the rare books section!

I had to literally move shelves (via this steering wheel mechanism) and sit on dusty floor and skim through the moth eaten books in a dark dusty basment all my myself to see if any of them woud be useful enough! Pity was that although some of them were interesting, they were all dated more than 10 years back so I dont think they'll cut it as reliable references. I even found a book so old, that the cause of keratoconus was not known at the time! wow! Thank goodness there was an extremely sweet and helpful korean lady to show point me in the right direction and help me find the storage section...

In the rare books section, I my bag and the book I wanted couldnt be in the same room. Apparently that's where they store all the precious books so I was really looking forward to seeing what the book I was looking for was like! haha! Well, it was pretty exciting..I felt that I was in one of those archeology buildings with mysterious items from the past all around. The atmosphere made it seem very special. The man who was obtaining the book for me instructed me to wait in this large room surrounded by old yellowed books with maps hanging off the walls and framed up posters and newspaper articles leaning in the corners together with piles of stacked up books. It was raelly exciting! I didnt know that that part of my uni existed!! Sweet.. He finally brought me the book I was looking for. It was a thin red half and A4 sized book. So thin that I could photocopy all 20 pages of the book! When I held the book in my hands I felt like I was holding a very fragile and valuable piece of medical history also because it had taken a lot of effort to find.. wow..that feeling cannot be described..Plus the fact that there was a copier there that didnt require me to put in my uni card made it even better!! Which was good in a sense because I had just bankrupted my uni card by photocopying the other 2 books I got from the storage.

What a day! Pity that whole trip from the med library to the arts library and from storage to rare section drained my energy.. felt really tired when I came back but couldnt fall asleep until recently. So what I did was I watched video after video of srubs to make my eyes tired and when I finally couldnt take it no more,I snuggled under my covers and fell asleep, a nice, deep, long sleep..as peaceful as a baby=)

Well, 15 more days to go!! Cant wait to see my darling again! Really looking forward to it and have got many surprises planned for him, hope he likes em and has a smashing time for the 1 wk that he'll be here!! =) Muackers to him! Cant wait!! Waiting is so horrible, so much so that sometimes I feel so .... I dont know.. depressed? All that energy and realising that I have no one who truely cares about me but you..Once, you know what that feels like, any other form of care provided by others just seems so meagre and superficial..With you its unpretentious and pure. I dont quite know how to describe it but is avery real feeling of being protected and loved unconditionally without being judged for your shortcomings. Its a kind of love that only you and my family can provide me with. It makes everything, thats done by everyone else pale in comparison.
