First: The thing I did not do: didn’t put off going to registrar’s just to get 10 more minutes of sleep 
Read NewAge while sipping paia soup. Caught a ride with Sazid in the car – something I always do if I have to go to the university. Shuttling between offices at registrar’s. It’ll take a day or two to get the certificate and marksheet attested. I’m a little worried, even though SOAS says it’s ok. Life lessons so far: don’t out things off for sleep, don’t forget to check for wallet, money, documents, or any other valuable before leaving ANY place. Also, I should try to pay attention and remember locations, streets and roads.
Chanced a quick visit to Bangla Academi boishakh mela. not that awful. Bought a sholar pakhi and a shokher hari (My father took one look and said ‘I don;t understand what’s in these stuff’ anyway I rarely can stay mad at him, he’s so vulnerable and obhimani (can’t believe I wrote that!))
Slow day at work. No editorial meeting. First thing I read is rejection letter from Oslo Summer School. Damn, I was counting on that one, thought it was a cert. Not feeling particularly bad. I really should allow myself to grieve and moan etc. But it’s a waste of time. ‘No regrets’ as brian kinny would say! hopefully some lessons for the next time.
Started to develop a pain in the throat and later in the back too. I have been too frugal with eating delicious (or plain harmful and not even that good) food. So I started debating whether I should have my afternoon cup of tea with an oatmeal biscuit. It’s a debate I lose before begining. So I decided to have the ta and then tell my mother.
Listened to chantal’s poila boishakh story and my mew mew voice in it. I have to write a segment on the whole chantal and emily thing.
Came back and tried to decide whether I should start on reading up on the ethnic minority debate/ Yunus debate?bortamama’s article trasnlation ( I won’t) or read the last of the latest good gay themed story. Downloaded avro but ended up not writing with it and here I am.
Now I’m swallowing with difficulty and waiting for sazid to finish watching bleak so I can watch some crappy movie.
P.S. watched hollow reed. Was good. The intimacy thing was perfect.
Ammu getting more puffed face. Looks quite sick, she does. SHe has been whining to me all day about eating jowbhat for two years after ulcer or the consequences of having my easophagus shortened. I should really be having breakfast before 10:30.
