Daily whining [journal]

[Note to Mike: If you want to avoid my more poetic writings, read my longer entries. And btw, you try being poetic. It's harder than it appears.]
After the 6am fire drill which sounded like an air-raid siren (maybe the device hails from that period?), I was pretty darn conscious for my chem class. But conscious doesn't mean awake. Finger started numbing again. One of my teeth started hurting again when I flossed it. I think it's a cavity near the base of the tooth, because it kind of goes a painful cold numb when I bite down hard on it [sometimes] (and it goes like that when I floss it). The gap between the window screen + the inner pane of glass makes a great beer cooler at night. That is, if it's not 20°C outside at 8pm. Thankfully I finished my physics homework today, because I need to do ENGG 130 homework tomorrow (so I don't have to take any textbooks home for the weekend). And although it's done rather hastily and messily, it won't take much to copy it out neatly again.
At this rate I estimate I'll go through a small bottle of Finlandia in 1.5 months and a 12-pack of beer in a month. Pricey, isn't it? Maybe if I got more variety it'd last longer, but that's not economical. It's also scary. My dad never drank this often, even if Grandpa was an alcoholic. But just a big every day is better than getting wasted often, and it's not like [I'm drinking] those crazy strong Chinese spirits. One doesn't mix those. They're supposed to be drunk straight. That's creepy. I am getting scared of myself.
It's not like I suffer any withdrawal symptoms (probably because I drink in such small quantities), but surviving each day here is an achievement in itself, and my heart cries out, "reward yourself with a drink!" and I put it off for as long as I can but I can't do that forever. Although it's nice to, if doing so, to drink right before bed so that you can sleep the fuzzy effects off. Unless that's what you want. Distressing. After gulping down one bottle in 30 minutes I can't walk straight. I didn't know I was that weak. At least my chest isn't throbbing...yet?
