Twinkling of an eye

Had a 8am lecture this morning. Woke up earlier than usual cause i wanted to stroll to school instead of my usual panicky rushing to school pace. But, ended up rushing anyway cause it was too cold!!! On the way, there was this cyclist. He whizzed past down the hill... he was so so fast! He was almost as fast as the cars. In afew seconds, he was outta sight.

Seems like everybody is in a hurry, urgent, irritated and frustrated mood. Just yesterday in lecture the lecturer was talking about some points on the graph. And i knew i heard "pure" but my friend insisted that it was "peer".
Linda:" pure"
friend:"peer"
Linda:"issit? i think i heard pure"
friend:" NO NO PEER!!!"

Linda relents... so scary... never seen friend so agitated before. So i erased pure and wrote peer.

Into a few slides later... a point was stated that it was PURE!!! So *ahem* i kindly pointed it out.

It's common to hear wrongly... but friend sounded so irritated. Hmm... other friends as well... all the censored words all incorporated into stressful life.

Must keep working... i'm waiting for the day i can give a huge sigh of relief... waiting..
