Teeth sinking into heart

It seems to me that at uni, 2 weeks before my exams
I have somehow forgotten how to prepare for an exam.
As if my brain has somehow unlearned the skill.
yay for me!

I wanted to buy this arcrylic book rack. But it costs 40 pounds.
WHY???
I have always had this strong attraction to stuff made out of acrylic: magazine holders, staplers, shoes (omg acrylic wedges by stuart weitzman!!) , random boxes, chairs, chandeliers, violins!
Just like how I am attracted to black shiny things i.e. black patent leather/ super nice plastic stuff (namely a chanel compact).
Maybe the sense of touch is the most powerful. Thats why we become obsessed with materials.

Got a book on time management. Read the first chapter and stopped. Because I had to study for exams. But also because I was doing all the things that were under the DO NOT sections.

This week's most played song:

Elephants, Rachael Yamagata (Love the lyrics and the cellos and her voice and elephants!)

If the elephants have past lives yet are destined to always remember
It's no wonder how they scream
Like you and I they must have some temper

And I am dreaming of them on the plains
Dirtying up their beds
Watching for some sign of rain to cool their hot heads

And how dare that you send me that card when I'm doing all that I can do
You are forcing me to remember when all I want is to just forget you

If the tiger shall protect her young then tell me how did you slip by
All my instincts have failed me for once
I must have somehow slept the whole night

And I am dreaming of them with their kill
Tearing it all apart
Blood dripping from their lips and teeth sinking into heart

And how dare that you say you'll call
When you know I need some peace of mind
If you have to take sides with the animals
Won't you do it with one who is kind

And if the hawks in the trees need the dead
If you're living you don't stand a chance
For a time though you share the same bed
There are only two ends to this dance

You can flee with your wounds just in time or lie there as he feeds
Watching yourself ripped to shreds and laughing as you bleed

So for those of you falling in love keep it kind
Keep it good
Keep it right
Throw yourself in the midst of danger but keep one eye open at night
