I wagged school today because i was afraid Chester will go into another anxiety frenzy. I gave him a frozen kong and thought that it would last him for at least 2 hours. I needed to leave home for awhile to hand in my surgery report, pay for my airticket and get lunch. I was supposed to drive through the KFC at Riverton but somehow my mind wandered so much while i was driving, i ended up in Welshpool in the midst of a massive traffic jam. It took me quite a bit to get home and i sped all the way back. Anyway, while i was waiting for my airticket to print, Eeha from Jetset (where i usually get my airtickets from) told me about some accident involving some Malaysians/Singaporeans that happened on Leach Highway just a couple of days ago. Apparently, the driver was going (or rather, racing another car) at a speed of 140km/h. The driver is currently in hospital and the 2 girls in the car were killed. I must remind myself not to speed anymore. Sometimes i just do because i'm not thinking. Sometimes i just do because i do.

I came home to Chester and found the kong empty. He got into another frenzy apparently because there was a new hole on the wall but it was comparatively smaller than the ones he made previously. I dunno if that's an improvement but i certainly hope it is. You know how people say your pet is often a mirror image of you? I think it's really true. But i really really really hope in time to come, he'll learn to be more confident and less insecure. They say border collies thrive with human companionship because they're bred to work with humans and so they often suffer from separation anxiety given the fact that not all border collie owners have sheep for these dogs to herd. I feel bad towards him and maybe it is indeed this guilt that weighs down on me. It's not like i've never thought of giving him away, but by doing that, it is only a convenient decision for me and passing him to another home may not even guarantee a lifelong happiness for him. Some people think i'm overly anal when it comes to Chester. Maybe i really am, but who else does he have but me? Considering the fact that he is now motherless, fatherless and sibling-less, i don't think i'm overly excessive.

Anyway, i can't believe it's another week down! I'm totally screwed because i still have so much to study. Somehow, i don't really give a shit anymore, but hopefully i'll pass everything at least. If i don't and i have to do a supplementary paper, that's good as well because that means i have to come back to Aussie earlier and i won't have to leave Chester here for too long. That's being really optimistic isn't it?

It's Halloween today. Last year, i was still at Priya's place at Bibra Lake and we even made jack-o-lanterns out of pumpkins. That was one year ago. Wow. I'm looking forward to the next Halloween already.
