It's been a loooooong time...

When I looked at the date of the last entry,I found it mildly disconcerting that it was half a year ago. QY, I know you're expecting an entry about my TTC life but that will have to wait. For the moment though, I'm glad I finished transcribing somebody's speech. It was quite a lengthy speech and the recording device was not exactly state-of-the-art so I'm rather proud of myself that I'm done it. Tomorrow I'll be polishing up what I couldn't catch the first time round.
I'm having and enjoying my semester break for the moment (yes, TTC does have holidays too). Apart from this little project I just mentioned, I've been overdosing on Friends (the sitocm) and getting a kick out of playing the theme song repeatedly. It's meant for friends, (duh!). The lyrics are remarkably simple, yet I found them poignant.

I'll be there for you--The Rembrandts
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke,
Your love life's D.O.A. [Dead On Arrival]
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

But I'll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you (like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you ('cos you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at 10, and work began at 8
You've burnt your breakfast so far
Things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down on your knees

That I'll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you (like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you ('cos you're there for me too)

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

And I'll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you (like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you ('cos you're there for me too)

I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
'cos you're there for me too
